5.00The tour was excellent in particular. It had excellent pacing. It gets very hot in Thailand, but the tour was broken up in such a waythat we did not spend too long in the heat. We would have time in the bus which was wonderfully air-conditioned then we would be out the attraction then we will go to the next place and cool off both the floating market and the train market were wonderful. I really like the that they chose. I even liked the courtesy of them having a restroom stop on the way back our guides NJ and Katie were absolutely wonderful. We could not have asked for more.

5.00Maria made this tour an excellent experience! She was highly knowledgeable, organized and accommodating. The highlights were the train ride and train market for sure. The floating market was a cool location but it has become heavily commercialized which took away from the charm a bit

5.00I really recommend this tour and specifically the tiur guide name : Wannap the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable and charismatic girl in Bangkok… OMG what enjoyable tour around her and the vibes. She took us in a beautiful journey on the train to the actual market wuaoo so interesting how they still using the train for so many years . Also the floating market experience was incredible on the boats, feels like a little Asian Venetian style wonderful. The restaurant and local food over there delicious , my favorite one Pa Tahi with tofu’s. I really recommend this company and the best tour guide Wannap. We love her!!!
