Tell u frankly Nikki was far superior beyond our expectations.. his historic knowledge, time efficiency and communication skills par excellence.
As we were free lancing Bangkok after our trip to Laos...decided to find a guide so we could do Ayuthya as hadn't visited this part of Thailand and also to recap sites of Bangkok as was going there after 18 years. It was difficult no doubt to find one with English skills as our interest beind in history n culture. Nikki was quick in answering our mails and clearing all our doubts n we booked him...his rates a bit high but wouldn't discount..booked 2 full day tours... One for Ayuthya and other Bangkok city tour. Also helped us find a driver to drop us to the airport.All the best Nikki you have a bright future

My family and I had the most incredible time on our Bangkok tours. They were perfect and adaptable at suiting our family needs. We were able to do everything we wanted in our few days. We had other tours booked at our onward destination but they just did not compare to how great these tours were. The best tour guides in Thailand! Thank you for making our holiday so special for us.

Nikki made of our first trip to Thailand a wonderful experience. We booked him for two different tours, one in Bangkok and the other to Ayutthaya. We absolutely loved both!!!
He took us to the very best spots, was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. We truly appreciated his insights and overall service. He’s always on time, extra friendly and a great photographer.
I would totally recommend him.

My mom and I participated in a full day tour. In the morning, we visited a farm and we learned how to plant rice. We also picked fresh herbs and cooked our own lunch with locals. This was a truly authentic experience and it was amazing to learn more about Thai farming culture and cuisine. Our tour guide Nikki was excellent at time management. He didn’t rush us through the morning, instead he allowed us to learn about the farm at a relaxed, slow pace so we could understand more about their way of life and experience a different Thai lifestyle than Bangkok. His translation skills from Thai to English were also quite impressive. During the experience, he took lots of pictures for us and suggested that we make a video of our trip with the footage. Afterwards, he took us to the summer palace and several temples in Ayutthaya! His knowledge of Thai history was incredible. We learned so much about the old capitol, historical conflicts, architecture, Buddhist practices, and cultural preservation. We are really grateful for the experience with Nikki. Even after our tour date, he kept in contact with us in case we had any more questions about Thailand. He also gave us some advice for booking a car for a different excursion. At the end of our trip, he messaged us a farewell and safe travels. He is the best tour guide we had in Thailand and we 100% recommend any of his tours!

Our family of four booked Nikki to take us on a tour of Ayutthya, and we had a wonderful day visiting historical sites and learning about Thailand’s ancient capital. Nikki was a fun and attentive guide, who was supported by a safe and polite driver. When visiting a site, he provided knowledgeable briefings, then allowed us time to explore and experience the place while being present for further explaining and sharing of relevant information. He was intuitive in guiding us through all of the sites we visited, and was always available for taking an excellent photo. We didn’t just have a guide, we had an excellent photographer to assist us in capturing our memories. Nikki is a personable guide with excellent historical and cultural knowledge. Adults and teenagers alike enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Nikki!
