A great tour that exceeded expectations
Both the railway and the floating markets were incredible, certainly something you would never see at home. Enjoyed the experience immensely. Aff was the perfect guide. She found us a terrific viewing position for the train, found something we had been looking for and bought for us the best chicken curry puff we have ever eaten for a snack, along with different fruits to try.
I would highly recommend this tour

Thank you for your great review for Guide Aff.

Great well-run half day tour featuring excellent service, comfortable private transport and memorable sites
Our tour guide Paul was fabulous. His command of English was impeccable. His knowledge of Thai history and culture was impressive. He also had a great sense of humour! He looked after us like we were VIPs . We were picked up and driven to the destinations in a very comfortable town car by our expert driver Maneesh.
As for the tour, the Damnoen Saduk floating Market was interesting as the ride in the longboat offered a glimpse of the lifestyle of the locals living on the banks of the canals. I did not find the souvenirs overpriced as some people have complained. The Mae klong rail was a lot of fun! With very limited time in Bangkok, this tour provided some varied and interesting activities

Absolutely loved it!
We had a great time with our Quality Thai Guide on this tour and would highly recommend this activity! Everything was very well coordinated and both the railway and floating markets were very unique experiences. It was nice to leave the city and I felt like the items offered at the shop were quality made and unique. I hadn’t seen a lot of the items in the city at their markets. Every time we got back in the car they had fresh cold water and cold cloths for us, which is really nice when it’s as warm as it is outside. Our lunch was delicious and we also had coconut ice cream that was amazing. Loved everything about it.

Fun Day on the Private Tour of Maeklong Railway Market and the Floating Market
An incredible day on The Private Excursion to the Maeklong Railway and Floating Markets. Our tour guide, Bakerie, was fantastic. Knowledgeable, punctual, reached out the day before the trip to confirm logistics and checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we were happy with the tour. The private tour was a bit more expensive but definitely worth it. We were comfortable and enjoyed the day as our own.
Our driver, V, was excellent. He was safe, pleasant, and a very good driver in the crazy Bangkok traffic.
I highly recommend this trip...be sure to ask for Bakerie and V, you will be glad you did.

Thank you for your great review for Bakery and V.
