Sam was a fantastic guide, informative and entertaining. His great sense of humor and engaging style made long bus rides seem so much faster. At the floating market, we started with a boat tour and then had plenty of time to explore independently. At the train market, Sam walked us to the end of the market before letting us explore while we waited for the train. Although the train arrived 30 minutes late, we stayed to watch it pass through the market, and it was definitely worth the wait.

Helpful? Yes

The experience was extremely enjoyable thanks to our guide Nikki, who demonstrated impressive problem solving skills and adaptability throughout the tour.

Helpful? Yes

I really enjoyed the day. The guide was excellent and provided lots of interesting information. You also had plenty of free time to explore the area on your own. A great option for solo travelers.

Helpful? Yes

Both the bus driver and our guide, Jenny, were excellent. Jenny shared a lot of information about Thailand and its people. Beyond that, it’s really up to each person to decide. The trip involves a long travel time both ways for an event designed mainly for tourists. If that’s what you’re looking for, it’s a pleasant seven hour outing at a reasonable price. However, if you’re not keen on spending four hours traveling for just three hours at the event, you might want to consider other options. Overall, everything was very well organized.

Helpful? Yes

This is an experience you shouldn't miss. Our guide was warm and friendly. Throughout the trip, he shared information about Thai culture, cuisine, and the nuances of pronunciation.

Tammy was an excellent guide who led us through an amazing experience from beginning to end. Although both markets can be a bit overwhelming at first, Tammy made the whole visit truly enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

A wonderful experience. Juanita was a friendly and courteous guide. The only downside was that the boat ride was too short and she chose her own places over the ones we chose. Other than that, everything was perfect.Transportation was very comfortable and the tour was well organized.

Helpful? Yes

This was one of the most memorable trips I've ever been on. Our guide, Mr. A, was truly wonderful. He shared valuable information about the country and the places we visited.

Helpful? Yes

Tammy was wonderful. She was energetic, knowledgeable, and had a wonderful sense of humor. We learned so much about Thai culture, history, nicknames, and their relaxed lifestyle.

It was an incredible experience. I definitely recommend this trip.

Helpful? Yes

It was an outstanding visit to both markets, with the train market being the most memorable.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide, Yuri, was fantastic.Friendly, knowledgeable, and well organized. She showed us where to find the best boat noodles and mango sticky rice at the river market. The boat market was enjoyable, and the train market was truly one of a kind. This tour was a convenient way to experience some key attractions outside the city. I highly recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

The experience was very enjoyable and smoothly organized. All thanks to our guide, Tammy, whose insightful commentary and knowledge truly made the day special.

Helpful? Yes

Both places were truly unique and definitely worth a visit. The organization was absolutely perfect. There were coffee and restroom breaks throughout the two-hour journey in each direction. Upon arrival, we had free time to explore, wander around, or relax in a cafe.

Helpful? Yes

Tammy truly made this trip worthwhile. Of course, these markets are quite touristy and more visually appealing than authentic, but you can still enjoy delicious Thai food and pick up souvenirs. Tammy has a warm smile and shared her knowledge of Thai culture in an accessible way. She also organized the entire trip, ensuring everything went smoothly and without any issues.

Helpful? Yes

I enjoyed every moment of the experience. It was truly unforgettable.

Helpful? Yes

It was a fantastic experience. Shana was incredibly knowledgeable and fluent in multiple languages. She paid close attention to each person in the group and was very thorough, which really enhanced the overall tour.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was really well arranged. The guide brought great energy and a positive attitude throughout the tour.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide, Juana, did a fantastic job and shared many interesting details that made the trip even more interesting. I wasn't particularly impressed with the floating market; it seemed entirely geared towards tourists. The boat ride was also quite short, only about 10 minutes. The vendors at the markets were a bit too pushy for my liking. I generally preferred the train market, but the August heat made the smells even more intense. However, the tour was very well organized, and the bus was in excellent condition, almost like new. It's an experience worth experiencing once, but I wouldn't recommend it during the summer months.

Helpful? Yes

The meeting point could have been written more clearly, preferably in Thai, as many drivers had difficulty finding it. Visiting the floating market was an enjoyable experience, but the noisy motorboats somewhat diminished its appeal.

Helpful? Yes

The guide shared information about each market and offered helpful explanations of local customs. Her shopping tips were especially valuable, making it easy to avoid common tourist pitfalls.

Helpful? Yes

Thanks to our friendly tour guide, we had a wonderful day. The floating market was truly impressive, and we had plenty of time to explore. The train market was also a fun experience, though it was mostly just a quick stop while waiting for the train to arrive. All in all, a very good value day trip.

Helpful? Yes

The organisation was flawless and the journey and stops were excellent. I wasn't particularly impressed with the boat market as it was overly touristy, but the train market was definitely much more enjoyable.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was as expected and overall good. The only problem was the transportation; the air conditioning in the vehicle wasn't working well, which made the trip quite uncomfortable. Also, since I'm quite tall, I found the back seats of the minibus to be cramped and not very suitable for tall passengers.

Helpful? Yes

I recommend this tour, especially for families and those over 35. The bus ride takes about two hours one way, and the guides talk constantly through microphones, so it's unlikely anyone will get much rest. While the guide was very enthusiastic, our group would have preferred to hear the information during the tour rather than during the journey.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was average, nothing particularly impressive. The boat we used to reach the floating market was much more unstable than the other boats around us. At one point, it almost capsized. The bus ride wasn't much better either. The suspension seemed to be faulty, making the boat unstable, and the air conditioning started leaking, so I was soaked for most of the ride. Once I arrived at the floating market, my guided tour lasted about five minutes, which is actually quite long. If you're looking to explore at your own pace and gain in depth information, this might not be the best option. It's okay for a basic experience, but don't expect much beyond that.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was friendly and the tour was well organized. The downside was that it was heavily geared towards tourists. The markets seemed designed mostly for visitors, and there were very few locals around.

Helpful? Yes

The places we visited were enjoyable, but our time at the train market felt too short.We had to travel a long way for such a short break. Still, the floating market made the trip worthwhile. Our guide, Jenny, did a fantastic job.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was friendly, but despite us talking for most of the journey, he didn't offer any information about the floating market or the train, which were highlights of the tour. It was a complete disappointment.

Helpful? Yes

Our guide, Sam, was excellent. Despite his constant chatter, everyone was incredibly attentive. They seemed friendly and knowledgeable. The floating market, however, felt more like a commercial attraction, with tourists ferrying in on boats and vendors eagerly approaching with their wares. It felt a bit stilted. I wouldn't repeat the experience.

Helpful? Yes

The hotel pickup was well-organized and efficient. The journey to the main attractions was by small, rather cramped bus. Overall, the guide did a great job. The floating market offered a slightly different experience and was quite interesting. The train market, while more unusual, was a unique sight.

Helpful? Yes

The floating market and train market were truly enjoyable experiences. However, the guide talked nonstop throughout the tour, which ruined the day. It wouldn't have been a problem if he'd focused on Thai culture or history.Instead, he delved into irrelevant topics and chatted constantly in the background. At times, it felt more like a quiz show than a tour. During our free time, we went through a fish market that wasn't quite suitable for such a large group; it felt like we were just mingling with people going about their daily business. I think our day would have been much better with a guide other than Sam.

Helpful? Yes

The group was quite large, and there was only one guide conducting the tour, which spoke multiple languages, so the explanations were brief and not very detailed. Considering what was included, the tour was a bit pricey. It mostly consisted of transportation, and you could probably explore on your own for less. The guide only provided information on the bus and didn't offer any explanations once we reached the actual sites. Once there, you're given free time to explore.

Helpful? Yes

Overall, I found the experience lacking. While the tour is advertised as seven hours, about four and a half are spent on the bus. First, you'll have to travel for about two hours to reach the floating market, which is visually appealing but extremely expensive. Most of the items are the same as in other Thai markets, but at twice the price. Then, it's another hour's ride to a smaller train market packed with tourists, where you'll have an hour of free time. There's no guided tour of either market, except for a short boat tour. While the guide had a good sense of humor and kept the atmosphere lively, I was disappointed to spend most of the tour sitting on a rather ordinary bus. The entire tour took about six and a half hours.

Helpful? Yes

The air conditioned bus provided a very comfortable journey despite the long journey. Our guide was excellent and very friendly. However, the tour felt like a sales pitch, designed to get us to shop at ordinary markets. Overall, the experience was very tourist focused, and most of the time was spent on the bus. Even the train that passed through the main attraction, the market, was overly commercialized, and it was hard to really see anything with all the tourists taking selfies.

Helpful? Yes

The planning and the guide were both excellent, but the overall experience felt somewhat like a tourist trap.

Helpful? Yes

The tour was overall enjoyable. The floating market was quite crowded, but overall it was still enjoyable. Our guide was competent, but the loud announcements on the bus gave me a headache. Considering the price, the experience was quite good.

Helpful? Yes

The markets were charming, but also a bit chaotic. I can't understand why motorized boats are allowed to cruise the waterways, making it difficult for hand powered boats. The bus ride from Bangkok is quite long, especially with all the roadworks and heavy traffic.

Helpful? Yes

The guide was excellent, but the overall trip was mediocre. The floating market was crowded but still enjoyable. As for the train market, waiting an hour to watch a train pass by was pointless, especially with a flustered woman creating chaos. It's better to explore on your own.
