We love Mr Ken! - If you are lucky enough to get Mr Ken as your guide for the day you will have the best day ever! We were picked up at 7am and provided with all the information we needed. We are treated like royalty from start to finish at 8pm. An amazing trip!

Bridge over River Kwai tour with Thanya - great tour and guide with a comfortable and safely driven vehicle - If you’re interested in this part of World War Two history, I would highly recommend this tour. The guide for this tour, Thanya, was helpful in answering questions about the time period and their locations. Very well done!

Day trip you must not miss - Ken our tour guide picked us at our hotel at agreed time. Hotel pick up takes all the stress away, you are on holiday so really nice touch. Ken was very informative throughout our trip, covering everything about the day and general questions we asked him. We covered so much, a very full day, the train ride, the interactive centre history museum at Hellfire Pass. Ken arranged a buggy for us at HP as I have a painful knee and the terrain is steep and needs good strong legs, we ended the day at the war cemetery, so tranquil and beautiful in the late afternoon sun. Couple of hours back to our hotel arriving about 6.30 pm. It’s a very full day but well worth it. Also had a buffet lunch stop with local Thai food and bottle of water, all included.

Highlight of our trip - Our guide Ken was excellent and knowledgeable. The van was fully airconditioned and stocked with cold drinks. Lunch was good Thai food. The education centre at Hellfire Pass is outstanding. I recommend this tour.

Very good. - Very good trip. Guide was knowledgeable and driver competent. It was a private tour for 2 but we had a minibus. Not very comfortable. A car would have been much better.

Amazing tour with fantastic guide! - I completed this tour on Wednesday 6th November and can advise it was excellent. I was extremely fortunate to be the only individual on my tour on the day which meant I effectively received a personalised driver and tour guide. My guide, Anna, was excellent- she arrived promptly at my hotel and on the drive gave me excellent information about Bangkok and Thailand. Anna was able to adjust our itinerary order so we avoided the busiest times at each site which was fantastic and she even helmet me find and locate a family members grave in the war cemetery, promising to visit and pray there on my behalf on future visits. My driver was fantastic and the vehicle was comfortable stocked with water - lunch was very yummy and it was great to share it with local Thais. A fantastic tour - very moving, especially the trip to Hellfire Pass. I cannot recommend Anna and our driver, dubbed the “A Team”, high enough!

A memory of the lives lost - It was a very moving experience. We had seen a lot of documentaries of the episode of the war and so it brought it to life. We had a great tour guide who was very informative and our driver was very skilled. A long day but so worthwhile.

A very moving tour of a terrible time in history - Such a somber subject for an all day tour but MrAye was an excellent guide explaining all the history. It was a thrill to walk across the bridge over the river Kwai, and then riding the “death train” over all the rugged terrain left such an impression. To actually see and walk in the granite mountains on the railway bed realizing the poor men had only manual tools to move this unimaginable amount of rock, fighting starvation, terrible diseases, very cruel Japanese soldiers who regularly tortured them was so moving. I won’t forget this. Buffet lunch was so so. Everything else was good except the traffic coming back. It is a very long day.

Highly recommend - The history behind the Hell Fire Pass over the River Kwai that is real. It is a somber experience however extremely important and noteworthy as this something that this not shared among the younger generation. I highly recommend this tour to learn about what helped shape Thai history. My private tour included my guide Ken with an accompanying driver Yoon were prompt, reliable and safe.
