A sobering insight into the brutality of war - Informative trip which left a lasting impression of the human cost in building the railway. Our guide Rach( sorry I forgot your name) was very knowledgeable and gave lots of background information and really brought alive what the prisoners had to endure to achieve the completion of the railway in an incredibly short period of time. He was also very good at ensuring everyone was OK, had enough loo stops and didn't get lost among the crowds. Our driver was also adept at negotiating the heavy Bangkok traffic with skill and care. The trip was extremely well organised and I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful day trip - Such a wonderful experience we had with Rach as our tour guide. Very educational and informative. Everything went well couldn't fault anything 😌. Will definitely recommend this experience as a day trip from bangkok. The lunch was also 👌🏾 lovely a nice taste of local food 😋.

Death Railway train ride is a MUST DO - This is a fantastic train ride with spectacular scenes from this amazing railway that cost so much to build. This is a must do experience and something you can make a day of. You can take the train to the caves were POW once bathed and to the end of the railway today were you can experience the waterfall and a place where once Australian and British POW once had there camps. This i definitely a trip to take the kids on and the train runs regular to easily get back and forth.

Great trip that was spoilt - Our day started off with being picked up late then transferred to another mini bus about an hour & half into the the trip one of the passenger's asked how long for the toilet stop as he was getting desperate OOM our guide went buzurk at him calling him a lady & couldn't he wait this went on untill we did finally stop which made us feel very uncomfortable, but they patched up and we enjoyed the day, then on returning to Bangkok he pulled over said as it was really busy and our hotel was just down the road everyone got off and took the SkyTrain,but as our hotel was just down the road we would walk , but after an hour we ended up getting a Tuk-tuk at the cost of 200 BTS back to our hotel we got dropped off at 5.15 & got back to our hotel at 7.45 so not impressed wouldn't recommend this company but the trip was really interesting

Great start with a disappointed ending - We had a great start, the tour operator pick us up on time. The tour guide (Omme apologies for the misspelling) gave us an introduction about the tour while going to see the death railway bridge on the river Kwai. Everything was well explained in detail so when we arrived on the first stop at the Kanchanabury war cemetery we had sufficient time to walk around. The second stop was at River Kwai Museum, here Omme explained the history and why the construction of the museum was needed. Inside there are few portraits describing the prisoners living condition. After the museum we continued our journey by long tail boat on the river Kwai to the death railway bridge. So far the trip was going well, we reached the death railway bridge where we had the opportunity to walk on it and visit the prisoners campus. A this point we supposed to ride the train for 1 hour and 30 mimutes to admire the scenery and to have an idea how the bridge was built. Unfortunately we were told that the train had some issue with the engine and the departure will be delayed or cancelled. At this point Omme advised to reach the destinatin by the minivan but we had to wait for the driver, who had driven halfway to the train destination point Tham Krasea, to pick us up. Of course we were behind schedule and everything was rushed to make up the time. Before arriving at the death railway bridge we had a lunch at the restaurant proposed by the tour operator. It supposed to be an authentic thai lunch but it was a disaster. The food was cold and overcooked kind of ready meal taste. Nevertheless, we restart our journey to the last destination Tham Krasea. We could only spend no more than 30 minutes to walk on the rail track and see the cave. Surprisingly, walking back to go to the cave we were told to move away from the railway as the train was approaching! Afterwards everyone was back in the minivan where the driver drove as back to Bangkok. As everything was so behind schedule we were left in the vicinity of the hotel instead at the hotel as stipulated in the tour guide. It was a shame as this tour does have a great potential but they need to take into account of potential delays.
