5.00This tour was a fantastic way to experience the unique side of Bangkok. Both the Maeklong Railway Market and the Floating Market were incredibly interesting and offered a glimpse into local life that you just can't get in the city center. Additionally, our tour guide is exceptional. He made everyone feel welcome and comfortable throughout the day with a great sense of humor!
