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.

I want to send a big thank to our tour guide Tam, he has been very attentive and helpful all the way, we are traveling with 2 toddlers and he carry them whenever the road is rough! He arranged water and bought us snacks all the way. The tour was nice, I would like to spend more time at the floating market though. Overall very enjoyable trip.

Es war alles rundum super!!!

Unser Guide Pin und auch der Fahrer waren sehr bemüht. Pin schaute stets dass es uns gut geht, wir im Schatten sind und sorgte dafür, dass wir ausreichend zu Essen und Trinken bekamen. Er beantwortete uns jede Frage sehr gut und ausführlich. Unsere Highlights waren der Zugmarkt und die private Bootstour, bei der wir viele Glühwürmchen beobachten konnten. Diese Tour ist sehr empfehlenswert!!!
