On of my best experiences while travelling! - It was a very well organised tour! I love our tour guide and driver. Both very kind, funny and chill. I usually do not book tours because I like to explore on my own, but this was so convenient and at the same time adventurous... there was totally enough time for the waterfall and for eating lunch too. Just book it! Thank you :))

We had a very nice day. - We have seen interesting spots, experienced some history and also had great experiences in nature.
We would have liked a little more time for the museum, but it was just a long day.
Erawan Park we liked very much, even the suggested restaurant was good quality priced.
Tour guide Eddy did a good job. Thank you again...

Erawan day tour - Eddy our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The waterfalls (all 7) at different levels were beautiful.
Museum wasn’t really a museum, just a Bamboo passage with photos from that time.
Unseen tour which we additionally bought was like an other boat tour and the bridge we felt was over-hyped, touching story though.
The Erawan Waterfalls are worth a visit though

Good day, long day, but well run - I enjoyed the bridge over river tour. Some great history. I do feel they are missing a trick somewhat in that there could me more information at the location. Our guides english wasn't great so didn't get much info from that either. You can take the longtail up the river for 300 bht per person (bit overpriced), which drops you under the bridge.
Then you head to the waterfalls. Lunch before you head up.....this felt compulsory, but we did need some food. We headed straight up to 7 and worked our way down. It's a good walk up so bring trainers. Use some form of wet sock or wetshoes for the way down as it's rocky in some of the pools.
Overall well run tour. Set off at 7.30 and returned at 7.10pm. Our bus was immaculate and had aircon and reclining seats. Very comfortable. We saw some tourists arrive in the back of pick up trucks! Lots of stops along the way to keep us refreshed. I personally thought we could have stopped less and we'd have shaved an hour or so off the day.

Enjoyable trip running... - Enjoyable trip running well to time. Our guide’s English wasn’t brilliant but that didn’t stop our enjoyment of the falls and River Kwai sites. Paid a bit extra for a boat trip on the river up to the Kwai Bridge - worth doing.

River Kwai and Erawan Falls - Erawan falls was absolutely spectacular. Multiple pools of clear green water as you walk up a 2 km path. No need to do all seven levels. You may want to stop at just one or two.
The bridge over the river Kwai is a very moving story
The tour guide Cherry was a really nice person. Genuine. However, and I don't mean to be unkind, she has insufficient command of the English language to be an English tour guide. Unfortunately, whoever qualified her to work as an English guide probably had no understanding of the English language and should be fired.
I really enjoyed the two major destinations, but sadly cannot recommend Cherry as an English language guide.

Book a taxi for the day. It will be cheaper and more comfortable - In essence you are paying to be taken to three places. Don’t expect the tour guide to go with you or provide lots of information. The mini bus was so uncomfortable. Really shocking given the 6 hours spent on it. The seats were sized for children with not full leg or head support.
