5.00We booked this tour for our honeymoon, and it became one of the highlights of our trip. From haggling on the train tracks of the risky train market to feeling the spray of the river of the floating markets as we past the stalls, we were completely inserted into the local culture. Tutu (sp) and Woody were FABULOUS guides. They were funny, informative, and I would book again with them in a heartbeat. They provided us with water, plenty of stops, and even showed my husband and I secret stalls where we could shop for higher end products. We had so much fun!
An amazing experience

5.00The trip was excellent and well worth the experience. For a day trip, it was great value for money and a day well spent. I never imagined riding the train, but we did!!! I would do it again and I encourage others to. Everything flowed smoothly and our tour guides Alexa and Katie did an amazing job. They were very informative and entertaining and providing us with fruits to snack on, wet paper towels to cool down when we needed it, certainly helped . Thank you to Alexa, Katie and your driver for a wonderful day and a great experience!!!
Amazing trip

5.00What a great experience. I chose the small group tour and hotel pick up. Well worth the money. Mr. K was a great and safe driver. NJ was the sweetest tour guide, full of energy, knowledge, and kindness. NJ thought of everything and didn’t miss a step when taking care of our tour. The train market was my personal favourite. I won’t lie, I did some shopping. The floating market was insightful. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
Absolutely a must in Bangkok!!

5.00This apparently is a fairly new company running this tour (they've only been doing it for a couple months) but they know what they're doing! The guides were super kind, shared interesting facts during our drive there, constantly gave us water and also provided rambutan for us. The air conditioned ride was also much appreciated. They also provide an audio guide if you are interested (bring Bluetooth earphones if you have). I recommend this tour because you get to kick 2 birds in one stone: the floating market and the railway market. The railway market was my favorite, this specific floating market was nice too but very very touristy. I would book with them again! Thank you! I think one of their names was Tuk.
Great Tour Guides
