5.00Excellent tour. Our guide Nate went above and beyond - taking pictures for us, explaining the history, attending to our every need. And our driver was excellent - we were asked to call him "One". Would absolutely recommend this tour.

5.00Patrick was awesome. He guided us through the Railway Market with patience and humor. The floating market canals are so pretty, and sitting on the boat enjoying coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice was perfect. He even helped us spot fun photo opportunities and hidden corners.

5.00Our guide Tip was a friendly and professional tour guide who did his job very well. He explained the places we visited as thoroughly as he could and also took care of our needs. At our final stop together, the floating market, we had a delicious noodle soup, and he also treated us to sticky rice with coconut milk and mango. I would recommend him for your trips to Bangkok.
More than just markets; it's a cultural adventure.

5.00Annie provided incredible context, explaining the history of the ""Umbrella Pulldown Market"" and how the floating market communities live. The private tour meant we could linger where we wanted. The moment that train horn blows and the market springs into action is something I'll never forget. Absolutely recommend.

5.00Top-tier experience from beginning to end! Our tour guide, Nok, was friendly, funny, and personable. She shared a lot of good info about Thai culture, which helped make the long car ride fly by. When we stopped at the Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Nok went above and beyond to ensure we had a safe, memorable, and fun time. I couldn't imagine visiting either site without her. If you want to see either of these attractions, book this tour and ask for Nok!

5.00This tour is highly recommended, one of the highlites of our holiday in Thailand. If you are planning to do this tour, ask for Som, (Miss orange in Thai), she was our tour guide. She is fluent in English and knows the tour really well. From the time she picked us up at our hotel until the tour ended, we are like one family. She really looked after us, took our photos at the right place and right time. The opportunity of riding the train, watch the train go pass at the railway market, ride the boat to the floating market, eat the best coconut ice cream, mango and sticky rice is one of the best experience my wife and I will never forget and consider as an experience of a lifetime. At the end of the tour, we asked Som to drop us off in one of the shopping malls which she politely obliged and even showed us how to get back to our hotel either by boat or taxi. We are so happy we did this tour. Khaawp khun khrap Som🙏❤️👍. Jessie & Norma Sydney, Australia🇦🇺
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Exceptional Guide – Katie Made Our Day Unforgettable!

5.00We had the absolute pleasure of spending an 8-hour tour with Katie, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, Katie was warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful — especially with my elderly mother, who has limited mobility and requires extra assistance. Katie cared for her as if she were part of her own family. At the floating market, she impressed us even more. She handled the tricky getting-in and getting-out of the boat with such care, patience, and confidence that my mom felt completely safe the entire time. It’s not easy navigating those areas, but Katie made it look effortless. Beyond her professionalism, Katie is genuinely fun to be around — funny, light-hearted, and always full of positive energy. She kept us entertained throughout the day while sharing great insights, interesting facts, and stories about the places we visited. Her ability to educate and entertain at the same time is such a rare gift. Katie also surprised us by buying local snacks along the way for us to try — such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more special. This was one of the best tours our family has ever taken, and Katie played a huge part in that. Anyone visiting should be so lucky to have her as their guide. Highly, highly recommended!
Super fun boat ride

5.00Our tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Guide Bee's English was excellent, and they made the day fun with their humor and positive energy. The vehicle was comfortable with strong air-conditioning, which was perfect for a hot day. We also appreciated the cold drinking water provided throughout the trip. What impressed us most was how well the guide knew the perfect spots for taking photos at both Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Thanks to them, we got so many amazing shots! It was a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting these markets.
