We had a great time on... - We had a great time on this tour! James was our guide and he was funny, knowledgeable, and made the day very easy. We had enough time at each stop to see what we wanted to see, but didn’t feel like we had to wait around for the next stop. It was a long day and a very cool experience.

What a day. - We started the day exploring a railway market that transforms within seconds when a train approaches, it was great to witness. Later, we drifted through a floating market, watching local life and touristy place. Lunch was tasty and authentic, the price was cheap for lunch. Our tour guide made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. I recommend!

Mariyah was an amazing guide, told us everything we needed to know and made sure we had a great day. The train ride to the market made the experience so much better and the food at the end of the floating market was amazing! Great value for money, well worth it.

This was such a memorable trip! - This tour was amazing! We took a scenic train ride through local Thai countryside and got to see the famous Maeklong Railway Market up close, the train passed just inches away! Before the ride, we even visited a mangrove forest and saw mudskippers for the first time at the train station!
Later, we enjoyed a fun boat ride to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and had lunch with a lovely small group from Germany, USA and Italy (7 Ppl). Our guide James was friendly, caring, and always smiling. Everything was well-organized, exciting, and truly worth it.
Highly recommended!

For tourists, but you have to - We know it is essentially for tourists, but the beauty you see and the peculiarity of the experience is worth the trip. The guide who was with us, James, spoke perfect English and was always helpful. The audio guide in 22 languages also deserves for the many news it tells. Recommended everything
