"Overall I would say it’s a tour worth doing if you want a train ride, markets and boat trip. A couple of things though, the train was heavily crowded, the train market is very difficult to move round and you don’t get much time maybe half an hour, you get about 40/45 minutes of free time at the floating markets and the boat ride is around half an hour which is good. Our tour guide was excellent and he was very organised and clear with his instructions. The food he recommended was also excellent. I’d book this tour if you want to see the basics of the markets and the train! "

A lot of tourists and a lot of time spend in the van. Fun activity and worth doing just one time. Nice to arrive at the market by train with everyone having fun and waiving. Super nice guide.

Gave us the best possible experience. She had pre- prepared laminated cards, showing the plan for our day. Very knowledgeable about everywhere we went.Able to show the driver short cuts so that we didn’t waste time in traffic jams.Taken to a railway station we wouldn’t have found ourselves. We experienced being on the train driving through the middle of the market and then got off the train, watched it drive through the market( and had the best possible view of this thanks to Patty. Onto the floating market, didn’t expect so many to boats going around the market. Also, so many different products bring sold on the floating market. Great memories made. Thank you Party "

Our Railway Market and Floating Market tour in Thailand was a fun and memorable experience with an informative and friendly guide who taught us a lot about Thai history and culture. Riding the old train to the railway market felt like going back in time, and it was exciting to see the crowded shops, take photos, and buy souvenirs. The floating market was amazing, with skilled boat drivers, delicious coconut sticky rice, and a funny, unique ride past the stalls, even with a bit of rain at the end. Overall, the tour was one of a kind with great food, sights, and an amazing guide, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Thailand.
