Excellent day trip - The train market was a unique experience, Amphawa night market was also very relaxed with a night boat trip to see the fireflies on the river. Very well organised and our guide jack was very helpful. Though I enjoyed the night market and was very local. More Thais visiting that the other floating markets. The only downside was there was not much for vegetarian food options

Interesting and unique trip out of the city - Very friendly guide who kept the day running smoothly but plenty of time to see everything. The market at Amphawa is wonderful and seeing the train pass by is a cool and unique experience. Definitely worth a day trip!

Great experience - Has such a unique experience, definitely recommend. At first we weren’t sure about going because it’s so far away and we didn’t know how we’d get back to central Bangkok but finding this tour was just what we needed to have such a great experience. the tour guide was very informative and gave us key tips that would you’d never know as a tourist such as the time of the train and dos and donts for the markets. It’s also nice that it’s just a small group of 9! We booked at 4 am and the tour started at 11:30am managed to nab the last 2 spots!

/ - Very good day, very entertaining, the POP guide was very nice. The market with the train is worth seeing once in a lifetime and the night boat ride to Amphawa to see the fireflies was magical. Departure at 11:30 a.m. from Bangkok and return at 9:00 p.m.

Promising tour and full effort by the guide - Had a lot of fun walking around the destinations, got amazing pictures at the railway market, tried amazing food due to our guides suggestion and enjoyed our boat ride, all thanks to Nina aka Pranee Upasit. 👏🏼

good experience - Wonderful experience. The start of our program's around 10.30 in the morning headed to railway market first, if you want to try different thai streetfoods sweets and fruits you can do it here and amphwa market. Our guide Ms Nina, nice and sweet she will always feed you 😂. We were taught how to pay respect to Buddha and even did some rounds of walking meditation. Amphawa canal doesn't have much boat as I am expecting like selling and all but enjoyed the ride with a firefly watching at the end.

You have to see it to believe it. - The Maeklong Railway was number one on my bucketlist for a long time. Had to see it to believe it. It was great seeing it happen live.

Ampawa Floating Market no longer exists! - The Mae Klong Train Market is excellent, and totally met our expectations. However, the Ampawa Floating Market no longer exists, even though our tour description included a visit to a 'floating market'. Apparently the floating component of the market shutdown during COVID and the boats haven't returned - very disappointing and a misrepresentation from the tour company. The only boats on the canal are the powerful tourist boats that take people to see the fireflies at night which, to be perfectly honest, are completely underwhelming.
