Excellent tour with Betty! She gave us a detailed insight about the history of the bridge and even went a step further to help us take photos. The experience at the bridge and river was really good and is definitely a must do for anyone visiting Bangkok. Lunch was very good as well, with a very nice view of the river. We were also the only group for the tour. Definitely a 5 star experience! However the car that was provided to us was very uncomfortable for the 6 hour journey time. I removed a star for this, as a more comfortable car could have been provided.

We all loved this trip. Our Guide ‘Luck’ made it really special with all her knowledge and timing of everything. The transport was great. A very moving time to reflect on so many who lost their precious lives.
