Get the experience of reality - time well spent!

5.00Our guide Joker was fun and knowledgeable. The organisation of different transportation means was super smooth. The route covered wide area and we saw daily life outside tourist area. People were friendly. As an extra step, our guide surprised us with a video about our experience (he took many pictures and videos and shared with us) after the trip. We were really happy with that day - time and money super-well invested!
The most amazing tour we have ever done

5.00I cannot express how amazing this tour was. Everything was so well organized and communicated. The day was so fun and full of adventure. Our two teenagers had a blast. The entire tour was full of things we would have never found or discovered ourselves.

5.00A fantastic experience, with a variety of methods of transports you really get a flavour of thai life. 2 trains, a ferry, a tuk tuk and a rocket boat finally returning to Bangkok via a premium cab it was a great use of half a day. My guide Enjoy was very knowledgeable & friendly. Recommend highly! The rocket boat was the highlight at times we really laid down some speed.
Traditional rural Thai life.

5.00We loved it! What a nice change of pace. The day was amazing. We highly recommend to everyone. Ferry, TukTuk, and Rocket Boat. A real look at the neighborhoods, a local community market, and an active functioning temple. And NO tourist traps. Wow! We'd do it again in a heartbeat.
