It was alright. For those who would like the feel of riding on a boat, maybe this is for you. But for those who would like to shop for souvenirs, there are other places that might be cheaper than here. I’ve read some reviews before coming here and there are a lot of people saying that it is a scam. Perhaps, it is to some people. It depends on how “scammed” you feel 😅 I feel a bit because I had to buy some souvenirs since all of them has some photos of me, riding the boat. Wouldnt want it lying around there anyway. Nevertheless, its an alright place. To say that it was a worthy experience, it was a so-so for me. Its not a must go. And its nearly 2 hours to get there, 3hrs at most if you’re stuck in a traffic jam, which can be tiring.

One of the highlights of my time in Bangkok…Johan was a very charismatic guide and made it really interesting and fun. It’s good to see another side of Bangkok, like the canal communities.

Wow… definitely recommend this tour…You get to see some of the must see places in Thailand within a day. The floating market was awesome so was the experience of petting a huge Bengal Tiger… loved everything about this tour

All in all, good trip - cool experience! The trip was well organized and it was fun to see the floating market as well as the train market. Would recommend it!

Our tour guide ( PA) was awesome She and her driver allowed us to customize our itinerary and length of time at each destination. She was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I’d highly recommend this tour when visiting Bangkok!

Squeezing in as the train passed in the morning and then everyone bargaining as you float by at the floating market were my favorite parts of this excursion. The colors of the umbrellas at the floating market are so festive. And the longtail boat tour around town was fun to take as well.

We booked this tour and they arrived late for us but always pushing us in a hurry to one shuttle to another without explaining anything to us. We had also reserved with the same company, that at the end of the tour to sent in a Taxi to the airport, and they agreed 24 hours before. At the day of the tour we did ask every guy that picked us up, the guide, and also write the person on charge about this reservation to get to the airport, and the guys of the several shuttles didn't even speak English and the tour guide said NO, that we have to take a taxi by ourselves to the airport. And the person on charge of the company did not answer our messages ( multiple.... we sent.... in the night before the tour, in the morning before the tour and during the tour) We do NOT recommend the tour, please take it with another company, when we arrived at the railroad market our guide only told us to go and see by ourselves, and be back to the bus at an specific hour..... in the railroad there where other groups of tourists accompanied by their guide explaining everything, and the same happens in the floating market.... NO ONE explains nothing, they just push and hurry you to get back at and specific hour. At the end of the tour, because we did not received any confirmation about our request for them to arrange our transportation to the airport and if it was already arrange we did try to make it by ourselves.... and in that moment the person on charge of the company starts sending us emails and whatsapp tell us they have already arrange it and paid for it. So we got the car they said they have arrange and paid; and the taxi said we have to paid the ride to the airport cause it has NOT been paid by the company. TOTAL DISSASTER. Also the person on charge of the company did have a bad treat to us as tourist and clients..... we did us bad words against us and also did also mis-wish our trip....... VERY BAD EXPERIENCE...... DO NOT US THIS COMPANIE IN BANGKOK........ we have use Viator for many years around the world and never have had such a bad experience.

Great day at the floating market and we met some new friends on the tour. The tour guide was great. I would definitely invite everyone to experience this tour.

Absolute chaos from start to finish. From trying to confirm pick up time (time we were advised was 25 minutes after our driver arrived, as were other guests who had similar experience), van driver making up time by driving 80kms over the speed limit, seat spacing that suited anyone under 5', to the longtail driver that went at the speed of light. ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE TOUR. Very tasty Thai lunch at the floating market. Highly recommended.

Both tours were excellent and well worth the visit. We had sufficient time in my opinion within each location and tours were exactly as described. Highly recommend I had one complaint which has prevented me from giving 5 stars. My hotel pick-up was scheduled for 6:45 am and there were other hotel pick ups. We were warned by the tour guide that the driver would need to drive a little bit fast because it was necessary to be at the Train Market at 9 am. Going was a very stressful event because driver drove at excessively high speed. This is totally unacceptable because the tour company is well aware of the heavy traffic in Thailand and should have planned accordingly. Passengers lives should not be put at risk due to lack of proper planning.
