Great trip in Thailand
P6757GGsarahc, 13-07-2022
Harry, my tour guide, was so friendly, kind and knowledgeable. He was extremely helpful and knew the best photo spots! Ping Pong the driver was very kind and funny too! Everything in the tour was included, Harry helped me find great food spots as I’m a vegetarian, we went to the railway market, floating market, the death railway and more! Couldn’t recommend enough, thank you both for a great trip :)
Amazing, fun adventure!

I had an excellent time on this tour. It was very informative, entertaining and fun. Harry and Mr. Porng were very kind and patient and took great care of me. Harry really knows the history and makes the tour interesting and humorous. The day went by very fast. I had an amazing experience.
Amazing day!

Harry and Mario were amazing. Mario was an excellent driver through some bad traffic and super busy stops.

Harry is so informative and helpful. Teaches you the language and can answer any question you have for him. He knew all the history about every stop and made sure you weren’t eating something he didn’t trust or paying too much for your souvenirs. He even took group pictures for us throughout the whole trip. Absolutely loved spending our day with Harry! Extra bonus, he’s super funny.
Great adventure!

Harry was a great guide for our day out visiting the train market, floating market and Bridge over the River Kwai. Harry had great knowledge, and good humour. He and Mr Chet the driver were flexible and attentive and kept us refreshed and relaxed all day. They made it a great trip and I highly recommend them.
Great tour, super comfortable ride.

It was a nice and comfortable ride given by our very nice driver ping pong. Our guide Harry is an enthusiastic and funny man. He did a great job bringing us around and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Half day is definitely enough for floating market and the train market.

They sell about the same stuff at all markets so nothing too exciting but theres this one noodle boat lady at the original side of the floating market Harry brought us to which was very very good!

I guess one thing would be better is that if we can get more historic information on the markets!

Overall 5/5!
Wonderful mix of local...

5 out of 5!
It was such an amazing experience, I took the private tour option, and I would like to give the guys a 10 star review. Lek was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and interesting. She ensured I was in the right places to experience the most from my tour. Really enjoy spending my day with her. I would highly recommend this tour if you have limited time in Bangkok and want to explore a little further a-field.
Perfect Tour
Linda Y, 07-11-2022
Perfect tour with our fantastic guide Harry and super driver Mario. I can hardly believe we experienced so much, yet never felt rushed. The tour is a wonderful combination of local Thai life at the train and floating markets, as well as a poignant look into the history of the Death Railway. Riding the train and walking the tracks makes it all come alive. Great day out of Bangkok!
Amazing tour with fantastic guide
AntjeT1313, 05-11-2022
This tour was amazing!!! Our guide Harry and our driver Mario did a fantastic job showing us all interesting places like the train market, the floating market, the death railway and the Kasae cave.

We saw all this beautiful places in just one day. Harry told us everything about the history, organized the best table at the floating restaurant and took so many great photos of us so that we can always keep it in our memories.

We can highly recommend this tour! This was the best day of our Thailand vacation.
A Day Well Spent
JesMurray992, 28-10-2022
An amazing day out overall. Would highly recommend this day trip from Bangkok. From start to finish everything went so smoothly thanks to our tour guide Harry and our bus driver Mario who appeared in perfect time when each activity was finished. Top class, the tour was a great mixture of culture and fun learning, with our local guide giving us the best experience one could ask for. Well worth the money spent!
