5.00Both markets were such a cool experience! Athens has a great energy and made the day feel like a real adventure. He knew all the best corners for photos and local food. The journey was smooth, and the cold van was much appreciated. Highly recommend him!

5.00If you’re heading to the markets, you need someone like Peter. He’s got such an easy-going vibe and honestly felt more like a friend showing us around than a formal guide. He knew exactly where to position us for the train passing so we got a clear view without the struggle. The car was incredibly refreshing and spotless, which made the drive back so relaxing. Peter really went out of his way to make sure we were having a blast. Simply the best experience we've had
Fun and well organized

5.00Wow! What an incredible day. It’s hot and crowded, but that’s exactly what makes it the real deal. We booked the private tour and Som made sure we weren't disappointed. She’s exceptional at sharing the history of the markets and how they still thrive in this modern world. The highlight was definitely the 'secret side' of the Train Market Som tucked us into the back of a local stall just as the train brushed past. It was an adrenaline rush! Plus, she kept surprising us with little treats like fresh fried bananas and making sure we got the best local prices. Sitting canal-side with that delicious mango sticky rice, watching the hustle and bustle from the quiet side, was a treasure. Thanks Som for an unforgettable trip!
Simple and great

5.00Peter handled everything in a very organized way. Timing was good, and we didn’t feel rushed or delayed at any point. He gave clear instructions and made sure everyone knew what to expect. At the same time, the tour didn’t feel too controlled. It felt smooth and easy to follow. His approach made the whole experience stress-free.
Floating market was lively and colorful

5.00The floating market had a really vibrant and colorful atmosphere. There were boats everywhere selling food, drinks, and local items, which made it fun just to walk around and look at everything. It can get crowded, but that actually adds to the feeling of being in a busy local market. There’s always something happening, and the mix of smells, sounds, and movement makes it feel very active. It’s a good place to try small snacks and see something different from regular street markets.
Memorable
