Loved both the train market and the railway market. Very well worth the money and timings worked really well and we never felt rushed!

5.00A little long at the road level, but very well organized by the guides. A very nice walk on the water, then traders literally sweating with heavy soliciting. On the other hand nicer traders of the railway, and a moment to live
Great Tour Guide and Planning

Interesting but not Great

3.00This was an interesting destination, however, the markets all sell the same 100+ items and many try to get you to buy which gets old being so pressured when you want to look. Our guide, MJ gave us travel times that were incorrect to make her look good and she spoke to the group in a way that would be great for preschoolers, but not adults. The bus driver was great.
Great experience

5.00The trip to the Maeklong Market and the floating market of Damnoen Saduak was amazing in a word. Our two fantastic tour guides Alexa and Ana made it a top experience. With a lot of knowledge everything was professionally arranged. But there was also a lot of humor, really delicious. I highly recommend this trip and @Alexa and Ana I say: “Thank you guys, you are worth gold” 🙏🏻
