Saw plenty and not rushed , great advice , communication great
The tour was incredible. Everyone was amazing, everything on time. Beyond expectations by far.
Special recognition to Toto and Farah who were our guides. They give a 200 %!!! Definitely a must in Bangkok. I really recommend it and ask for Toto and Farah as they are excellent!!!
Thanks a lot
Everything was excellent and included everything. Must consider. Market and train both were fantastic experience.
We booked a private tour, including a train experience, and we couldn't have been happier with how the day turned out. Jazz was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient throughout the tour. He shared fascinating insights about Thailand and the surrounding region, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend this tour and especially Jazz for anyone looking for a memorable experience.
We enjoyed our tour. Janie and Victor both are nice. They cared for us all day. Food was also good.

The tour was very well organized, our tour guide Maria was very knowledgeable, we got lots of water throughout the tour and new fruits to try throughout the day. Loved both the train market and the railway market. Very well worth the money and timings worked really well and we never felt rushed!
The pickup time was at 8am we drove for like 1 hour then, we stopped at a parking lot and we stayed in the bus for 40 minutes from 9am to 9:40 (wasted to time), the train experienced was not fan as I thought.
The floating market was AMAZING, the guy tour Wody and Tuk were fun, respectful and very knowledgeable!
interesting and different. It was organised very well. Our tour guide, Ana was exceptional - friendly, knowledgable and very sweet. Definitely worth the time
This was definitely one of my best experiences in Bangkok, Thailand. From pick up to drop off. I love the boat and train ride. Everyone should experience this at least once. Our tour guide Tuk did an AMAZING JOB! THANK YOU TUK! And gave us a history lesson while having fun 😊. Keep up the good work.
From pick up to drop off really good & trip
Well planned with plenty information would definitely recommend
Great Tour Guide Wanna and Tum Tum. Everything as expected. On time and very comfortable. Highly recommended.
The train journey made wonder what was the purpose of our travel on such a worn-out train. The vendors offered cheap goods, which brought to mind memories of Tiajuno, Mexico, in the 1980s. The air-conditioned restaurant that our guide suggested proved to be overpriced and comparable to a restaurant in sukhumvit. Leading us to walk a bit further along the uneven train tracks to another establishment where I unfortunately experienced the worse PadThai I have ever tasted.
Great experience
Fantastic hosts
Woody and Alexa were knowleadgeable and entertaining . They made the experience unforgettable
This is a wonderful experience. The train ride is great but the portion where it goes through the market is not to be believed. So much fun. And then to see the vendors pull their stalls back down was great. The floating market was great. Great to see.
It was a full day with all the travel.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Tour Experience. #Jenny the guide.
I had a wonderful experience with this tour operator during my recent trip. Everything was very well organized from hotel pickup to sightseeing tour to rail market and floating village. The communication was clear and prompt, and always confirmed timings in advance which made the journey very smooth and stress-free.
All drivers and guides were professional, polite, and always on time. I especially appreciated how they customized the itinerary according to my preferences and ensured I could cover all major attractions comfortably.
As someone who has traveled to 22 countries, I can confidently say this was one of the most well-managed and value-for-money tour experiences I’ve had.
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly tour operator. I will definitely use their services again on my next visit with friends and family.
Thank you for making my trip memorable!

The floating market is cool but, you need to see it by boat and make sure the boat driver agrees to go slow. Train market is a skip. We had a private tour and our guide was a very nice young man but no guidance was given. We ran through the train market at such a quick pace with back rows to avoid slow down. No idea what was being sold and no opportunity to shop.i really have no idea of what the whole thing was about. Train ride for an hour to run through in 5 mins. We were taken to the floating boats. Guide did not get in the boat but said he would meet us there. Our boat driver drove as fast as he could the whole way. Not slowing for any vendors. It would have been nice to be able to talk to the vendors or buy something from them. If the guide had been in the boat I believe it would have been better to communicate our wants. When we got to the dock he greeted us and again ran through the Market. He told us he would meet us back in 1:20 hours and we can have lunch or shop. We saw many other guides walking the market with their groups giving history and even guiding on purchasing. We returned to our apartment an hour earlier than expected. Wondering if that is why we felt rushed all day. The tour description said there was a audio guide available but never saw that.
Great experience!! So much fun! NJ is an outstanding guide!! Train and floating market were one of a kind experiences!!
It was a full day and very interesting. The boat ride through the water way between the markets on both sides was interesting to see but very commercialized as was the markets at the train tracks. The markets were geared for tourists so were over priced.
Jenny our guide was fabulous and very helpful with our needs. The bus driver was great as well. Overall an enjoyable day and was worth experiencing.
Maria was a fantastic guide. Clear in instructions and gave a good overall experience.
There is an audio guide that you can opt to listen via your phone too so I suggest bringing your Bluetooth headset. You will need data though.
The floating markets were interesting and showcased how things were. As the overview says, it is more touristy now, especially with the railway too.
Nonetheless it was a cool experience to wander down the railway line to shop, then have to duck into the stalls as the train arrives.
we were not aware that we would have needed internet connecting, this information should have been made clearer. Time for our pick-up should have been giver at least the day earlier, not on the morning of the trip. Your App is so hard to access, seems to be too many processes to get into it. Trip was fantastic
Fun allday trip.. Leo and Gaymo the guides was awesome! Need to add more characters so this is me writing more
Anna, our private tour guide was absolutely awesome! She spoke very good English was easy to understand. She was very conscientious of the timeframe that we had and was excellent at getting the driver around Construction traffic that was all backed up. She got us to the train on time! She’s very passionate about her culture and country and was very happy to explain any and all questions that we had. she also was good at pointing out simple little facts and places that you’ve never notice if you did not have her with you. From what we figured out with her, she does many other different style tours that her company offers.If you were to book this private tour of any kind that they offer we highly recommend Anna as a guide!
Fantastic day! Jenny and Farah were amazing. Caring, knowledgeable and very organised. Could have done this trip by ourselves but wouldn't have learnt or seen as much
Thank you all.
Excellent organisation and guides of Nok and Maria. Punctual. Helpful, friendly. Got seats on train . 6 hours well spent
I enjoyed this experience. The tour guide was knowledgeable and provided clear instructions. The locations were enjoyable. Coach was airconned for comfort.
Be prepared for some travelling time to get to/from the Train Market and Floating Market, but we felt it was well worth it! Coach was comfy and air-conditioned, seats were virtually Premium Economy!
Train is not air-conditioned, but open windows made for a nice warm breeze. Try to get a window seat for the arrival into the Market station, what a blast fist-bumping and high-fiving hundreds of people just inches from the train! Then you get to do it in reverse as you watch the train leave again. Long-tailed boat ride on the canals to the Floating Market was fab also, and a nice vibe once there.
Tour guides K.K. and Alexa were brilliant, engaging and informative and always made sure you knew where to be and when.
For the price, an absolute steal, and we had a fabulous experience.
Great day out
Lovely knowledgeable guide.
The floating market boat trip was great fun and railway market and train ride enjoyable
A total of 5 of us went on this tour. The transportation was delayed due to a major traffic incident that blocked major traffic flow for weeks now. It was out of their control but they made the time pass so well. Our guide was so full of life and gave a lot of useful information to help understand Thai culture. Her name was Nee and she was with us every step of the way! From haggling to selecting food, she offered meaningful input and honestly the value was probably double of what I paid. It was an adventure and the best I've had in Thailand so far!
Tutka was an amazing, entertaining, and knowledgeable tour guide. She made the tour enjoyable and educational, giving a uniquely interesting perspective about Thailand, its people, and culture. Highly recommended!
