Absolutely incredible one day private tour. It was a very long day but it was totally worth it. Nan, our tour guide, was a kind, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable tour guide. She not only gave insight to each of our destinations but also about Thailands long history in general. Would recommend this tour 100%. Thanks Nan for a great day.

From the moment Mr Rudie and Jake picked us up, we knew it was going to be a great day. The three-hour drive passed quickly thanks to Mr Rudie’s excellent commentary, pointing out places of interest along the way and explaining their significance in clear, easy-to-understand English. The entire day was amazing, and the personal touch they both brought to the experience made it even more special. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail helped bring everything to life and gave us a much deeper understanding of the places we visited. There is so much more I could say, but there simply isn't enough space. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an informative, enjoyable, and memorable experience.
What a fantastic private tour we had today with Nan and our driver Don! We visited Hell Fire Pass, Kanachaburi River Kwai and one of the local cemeteries. Truly memorable thanks to Nan's local knowledge. We were also taken for lunch at a local eatery, which was fantastic. Visited a nearby waterfall and sampled local foods at a market. Nan was so very helpful and informative! We highly recommend using this company for any upcoming tours. Thank you for making our trip so memorable! We will definitely use them again! 🙏
Amazing day well worth the long day. So much history and information to take in. Our lovely friendly guide was Bella who had an abundant knowledge. Excellent trip.
The trip was outstanding. Bella and Mr Black went above and beyond even took us to geed the monkeys. The day is very long so be rested and have a great time.
Peter is an awesome guide whom we highly recommend. Erawan waterfall with doctor fish in the wild was something unusual and super fun. Peter knows a lot about the animals in Thailand!
Fantastic trip and very informative. Lunch was great and the waterfall good fun. Our guide Snake was great and very chatty. The transport was extremely comfortable, and definitely needed as it was such a long journey from Bangkok. Would highly recommend!!!
Bella our tour guide was just brilliant. She sent us a msg the day before saying when she would pick us up etc. on time and perfect. The van was very comfortable clean, and loads of bottled cold water available. Bella explained the days agenda, and what a trip and experience. Bella covered the history of the places, and overall made the day.
This tour was an all-day tour that went for close to 14 hours. Hotel pick-up was on time at 6:30 am where we met our guide Nan, she was exceptionally knowledgeable about the tour locations, spoke fantastic English and answered all of our questions. Joey, the driver, made sure we got to each place and managed the Bangkok traffic with ease. It was a big day for Joey driving us to each of the locations (Bridge over the River Kwai, Death Railway, Hellfire Pass, and Erawan Waterfalls). The falls were a little bit disappointing but were still a relief from the unrelenting heat.
