Highly recommend

We had an amazing time at the railway market and floating market today! The whole tour was very well organised, the bus was comfortable and on time, and the small group made it such an enjoyable experience. Tim was a fantastic tour guide, very funny, kind, incredibly knowledgeable and very professional. We learned so much throughout the day and he went above and beyond to make the trip memorable for us. I particularly loved that the tour actually takes you on the one-way train journey to the railway market, and then Tim made sure we were in the market at the right time to watch the train pass through on the way back. He also shared lots of useful tips and information with us on WhatsApp, which I thought was great as we had everything in writing and it made it so easy to keep track of the timings. Tim was such a joy and really made the whole experience special. We had a brilliant day and would highly recommend this tour company!

Billie Jean!

Billie is our tour guide for floating market and railway train. She’s knowledgeable, friendly and caring. The car arrangement from our hotel to meeting point was flawless and safe nothing to worry about specially for a family tour. The only let down was the choice of lunch restaurant recommended in floating market was not a good value for money. We pay 700bht I can have same lunch in central world with a very good quality of Thai food. Either you bring your lunch for this tour or go somewhere else for lunch. I don’t recommend going for floating market to have lunch they are overpriced especially for us tourist who wants to have a best experience for our kids/family.
