Travel Buddies-Atlanta in Thailand - This tour is one that you have to experience. Our group of 15 boarded the train with the tour guide, not knowing exactly what to expect when the train pulled into the market. We were so close to the vendors and people. Then we got off the train and experienced being in the crowd when the train came thru. WOW! It was fun.

It was a good experience... - It was a good experience but it had become to touristy. Way too many people and a little hard to enjoy. But still had a good time with the experience. :-)

Worthwhile but be aware of traffic time in Bangkok extends time from half day tour to full day tour. - Guide was kind and informative. The experience of the train market and floating market are very cool.

Below expectation tour. - Interesting day yesterday. This tour has a lot if driving. Our van was not the most comfortable (older van model). Most if us had stiff muscles by the end of the day. The boat ride was also shorter (about 10 minutes) than what we were told (20-25 minutes). It took about 3h30 to get back to our hotel.

Touristique - It was very touristic and the train ride was only interesting the last 5 minutes. A lot of souvenir vendors at the floating market. Don't forget to bargain.

Terrible customer experience - Terrible tour operator. Viator confirmation said 9 am yet tour guide expected us to be ready to leave prior to 8. We were a group of 9, including 3 kids, and the operator refused to wait. We requested them to wait so we can feed the kids breakfast and get them ready and they refused. Furthermore, they declined a request for a refund despite no tour ever occurring
