It is a nice experience and our guide was very friendly and attentive. This excursion allowed us to discover another facade of Thailand, we were even able to see snakes and crocodiles in the water. I highly recommend it
Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and that your guide took good care of you. It’s great to hear the tour helped you discover another side of Thailand and even spot snakes and crocodiles. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
We never made it to our experience because the pickup time was not properly communicated with us. Viator refused to take responsibility for the miscommunication. I would never recommend viator to anybody. Please use any other service.
We’re very sorry you missed your experience due to the pickup miscommunication. We understand how frustrating this must have been and appreciate your feedback. We will pass your comments on to Viator to help improve their service.

Thank you so much for your recommendation! We're glad you had a great experience. Travis will be happy to hear that his tips helped you avoid the crowds and enjoy the tour more comfortably. We hope to welcome you again soon!
A great experience thanks to the kindness and thoughtfulness of our guide Alex. Alex did everything to make us feel comfortable with a lot of little touches: coconut, donuts, even to extend his time to allow us to go to the restaurant, a guide to the top! For the activity, arriving by train in the market is really great, visiting a traditional Thai house is great. On the other hand, disappointed with the floating market that is based solely on tourism, there is not much left (even nothing...) that is genuine. However great half day that I really advise with our guide Alex!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted Alex's exceptional service, from his thoughtful gestures to extending his time, made your tour so enjoyable. We're glad you loved the train market and Thai house visit. We note your feedback on the floating market and aim to improve. We hope to host you again soon!
