I would not recommend this tour. Driver had poor attitude and never let us Know where the next stop was going to be. She never spoke at all.

Well organised day trip. So much I didn’t know about the death railway that was built during WWII by POWs. Highly recommend to anyone interested in war history.

Walking across the River Kwai Bridge was truly memorable. It felt like stepping back in time. The ride there was smooth and the vehicle was clean and comfortable.

It's beautiful to see. But nothing special. Too hot to walk long in the cemetery. Interesting to see how many people have died here.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Kanchanaburi tour, but it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! The bridge over the River Kwai was incredible to see in person, and the history behind it really hits home. The tour also took us to some beautiful natural spots.
