Very well organized and worth the money and time. Jenny and Katy team did an excellent job keeping people engaged and informed with a bit of humor and the entire trip on time. We will recommend this itinerary to all future travelers.
Katy and Jenny have been very nice and precise in giving us all the informations. They are always gentle and smiling, and always ready to help you.
I'm from Indonesia. I had a wonderful experience throughout the trip. Unfortunately, the weather was not very favorable, but the excellent and friendly service from the staff made the experience enjoyable. Thank you, I hope to see you again on another trip in the future. 🙏🏻👍🏻
It was a great experience touring the area. Our guides Maria and Alexa were awesome tour guides, accommodating and very entertaining. Having Maria and Alexa on board is a great balance. Alexa is very entertaining with loud voice (which is good in a large crowd) and Maria is soft spoken and calm. Thank you for the great tour, Alexa and Maria.
Good service and good tour guide
Excellent value. Everything was included with no up-charging for tickets or anything else. We rode the train through the market and then watched the next train while standing inside the market. The boat right through the floating market was fascinating. Our bus was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and informative, and they kept everything on time. Thank you to Wanna and Kwan.
The tour was very nice, the only downside was that there was a lot of waiting around. Felt like it could be a bit more 'concise'. By far the best part was the the two tour guides, Wanna and Kwan, who were super nice and helpful. Huge thanks to them!
Pick up was on time. Comfortable ride. Everything was done as scheduled. Our guide NJ was lovely. Offered snacks, fruits, and even cooling wipes. It was very affordable too! Highly recommend.
Our 2 lady guides were informative and had a nice sense of humor. They also provided pertinent advice on safety which was much appreciated.
I liked my tour guides tuktua and kwan, they made the trip pleasant and fun. They are so thoughtful and so kind. Complimentary water.
