the tour guide is so nice and kind kwan and victor
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. Syed from Pakistan
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.
