Knowledgeable, flexible...
Knowledgeable, flexible (we added a river punt boat to the trip easily and the ride was excellent), and Maha was always looking out for us. Driver did an excellent job and the ride and vehicle were perfect and clean. Restrooms at the Hellfire pass museum were also 5 stars - clean 😉
Operator response
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and that Maha took such good care of you throughout the day. We’re also glad we could easily add the river punt boat and that you enjoyed the ride! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the driver as well. And we’re happy to hear even the restrooms at the Hellfire Pass Museum earned 5 stars! Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Personalised service
Neera was an attentive your guide, and the perfect mix between providing any information requested, but also mindful of providing us with space. We never felt rushed, but made great time to join the rail journey. Neera scouted to find us good seats. She provided snacks as well as the main meal. We had fun trying some durian on our way home, discovering it in all its different flavours. Our driver, Mr Sam, was a great driver and we felt in safe hands for the duration of the journey.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're delighted to hear that Neera struck the perfect balance between providing insightful information and giving you the space to enjoy the day at your own pace. It's wonderful that she was able to secure great seats for the train journey and keep you well looked after with snacks and a delicious meal along the way.
We're especially pleased to hear you enjoyed trying durian in its many different forms—a fun and memorable taste of Thailand! We'll also be sure to pass your kind words on to Mr. Sam, who will be happy to know that his safe and professional driving helped make your journey comfortable and enjoyable.
Thank you for choosing to travel with us. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future!

Great tour by Ken
What a day! Ken was fantastic as our guide. He is a wealth of knowledge and provided us with a great experience understanding the history of WW2 here in Thailand. Having the chance to walk over the River Kwai Bridge and then catching the train over was great. Ken managed to secure us window seats on the left hand side of the train - which are apparently the best! And they were! Lunch was delicious and plentiful. Hellfire pass was a moving experience and thankful to have plenty of time here. Thanks so much to Ken and his driver for a great day.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day with Ken. His passion for sharing the history of WWII in Thailand and creating a meaningful experience for our guests is something we truly value.
We're glad you enjoyed walking across the River Kwai Bridge, the scenic train ride—especially those coveted left-side window seats!—as well as the delicious lunch and the moving visit to Hellfire Pass. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Ken and his driver. They will be thrilled to know they helped make your day so special.
Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in the future!

Death Railway Bridge over River Kwai.
I think it's important for Australians to visit and know the history of the Death Railway Bridge over River Kwai.
Operator response
Thank you for joining this tour today. We hope you had a meaningful and enjoyable experience visiting the Bridge over the River Kwai and learning about the history of the Burma Railway.
We hope this journey has given you a deeper appreciation of the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all those who suffered and lost their lives during this tragic chapter of history. Thank you for taking the time to remember and honour them with us. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Prevent forgetting a dark time.
We had a comfortable car and a travel companion who brought us your knowledge.
The program was messed up by train delays and renovation work on Hell Fire Pass.
We would have liked to know the Hell Fire problem in advance.
A little late we had visited an excellent restaurant by the river.
It was an interesting day with a dedicated travel companion.
Operator response
Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie den Komfort des Fahrzeugs sowie die Begleitung durch unsere engagierte Reiseleiterin geschätzt haben und dass Sie trotz der Umstände einen interessanten Tag verbringen konnten. Besonders schön ist es auch, dass Ihnen der Restaurantbesuch am Fluss gefallen hat.
Gleichzeitig bedauern wir, dass es aufgrund der Zugverspätung und der Renovationsarbeiten am Hell Fire Pass zu Unannehmlichkeiten im Programmablauf gekommen ist.Vielen Dank nochmals für Ihre offenen Worte. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie in Zukunft erneut bei einer unserer Reisen begrüßen zu dürfen und Ihnen dann ein rundum reibungsloses Erlebnis bieten zu können.

Poignant Visit
This was a long day but so worth while. Lead by our guide Jill, who was attentive to our needs all day, from getting prime seats on the train, water, helping with photos but because of her knowledge and allowing us time for contemplation, which was much appreciated. The Australian Army were present at Hellfire Pass, rehearsing for their ANZAC day ceremony, which made the visit more special. The way the cemetery was laid out was beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour. Once again thanks to our guide Jill and driver Ray, for taking such good care of us.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. It’s wonderful to hear that you had such a meaningful and memorable day. Jill and Ray will be delighted to know their care, knowledge, and attention made a difference to your experience.
The timing of your visit, especially with the ANZAC Day preparations at Hellfire Pass, truly sounds special, and we’re glad you were able to take it all in at your own pace. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us.
We hope to welcome you again on another journey in the future.
