5.00We had a very nice time at the train & floating market. Our tour guide Mr. Toto is a very nice & caring guy. Also always joyful & ready to help. Highly recommended for family tours
Plan your pick-up time, it's better so that others don't have to wait an hour for the bus.

4.00The bus was more than an hour late. I liked the water market. The train market was a new experience in my life.I liked the journey by train itself until I got off the train.
Good trip

4.00Nice full day trip if you want to escape the city. Pick up worked fine, there were about 30 people in the bus. The guide gave many good tips. I liked the train ride to the market. There was enough time at each location and also the boat ride to the floating market was a great experience. At the floating market you should walk a few minutes from the meeting point. The food stands were more authentic there. The only drawback was the drop off point in the way back. Traffic was so heavy that we needed >2.5 hrs. A drop off a bit more outside the city at a metro station would make mich more sense. All in all w had a good time though.
A wonderful life experience !

The tour it self was great, we got to see everything that was promised. As a solo traveler I was able to connect with others from around the globe with the way this group was set up.

Maria, the guide was outstanding, providing very clear, detailed information with photos & videos of what to do & each of the meeting points.

5.00Today I took this guided tour with Ploy and Woody: it was an incredible experience that makes me want to do it again in a heartbeat. The guides are professional, kind, and super helpful. They always made sure we were okay and asked us every time if we wanted photos they could take. I 100% recommend this experience!

5.00I definitely recommend this company for the train and floating marketing tour. We had Poly and Woody as our guides and they were amazing. They smoke multiple languages and were very knowledgeable. They were always there to guide you so you had the best experience and make you feel safe. Also can’t beat the price!!! Can’t wait to come back with family and do the tour again!!!
