Good excursion
A really interesting day, well paced, and perfect for the iconic railway/train/market experience . A really great place for dinner at the end. Highly recommend.

Great way to see unique sights
The private tour was the way to for us! Our guide was very informative and accommodated our needs and requests, as we wanted to skip the firefly tour and did a canal tour during the day instead which was great! The railway market is definitely unique but gets crowded as expected the floating market wasn’t as crowded

All good in general. All...
All good in general. All the spots visited, no issues. Guide Eddy ok, but during the road spent to much time talking in thai with van driver, instead of telling stories about Thailand: history, actualities, facts etc.

Unforgettable Bangkok Tuk Tuk Experience!
The Bangkok Tuk Tuk Tour was truly memorable! Our guide, Kit, was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke English very well, making the experience smooth and engaging. The city came alive at night, and every stop was exciting and insightful. Dinner was absolutely fantastic—authentic flavors and great atmosphere. This tour exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a unique Bangkok adventure!

Great day at the Amphawa floating markets
Our guide was an excellent one. The place is as colorful and traditional as it seems on the photos. Mae Klong river boat tour is a unique experience. Worth the visit and tour.

Overall, the tour was...
Overall, the tour was conducted professionally. Mr. Jeerawat is very knowledgeable esp in the history of the places we are visitings. Even the Van Captain(Driver), was very patient and a very good driver in term of his driving from places to places.
A little bit disappointment was that at Amphawa there isn't much boats at the river selling food products.

Lovely
The guide and driver were great! The railroad was amazing! We decided we wanted to change a few things along the way, and our guide transitioned smoothly! We tried a local desert, did a little shopping, fed some horses, and even received lovely gifts from our guide, Gewn. Our driver, Mr. Wichien, was really solicitous and attentive.

Interesting and unique trip out of the city
Very friendly guide who kept the day running smoothly but plenty of time to see everything. The market at Amphawa is wonderful and seeing the train pass by is a cool and unique experience. Definitely worth a day trip!

Not a real floating market.
4 stars because, This is not a real floating market. It is physical ground based market with canals for show. Unfortunately our guide did not know good English. You only go to the boat for the evening firefly visit, which is amazing.
If you want to go the real floating market explore, other tour options.
Communication from the tour company was very prompt.
