Surprisingly Fun - Our teens usually get bored quickly, but Tina kept them smiling all day. The train market was exciting, the boat ride relaxing, and Ayutthaya was more beautiful than we expected. Such a great guide and a great tour.

Fun, Food, and Full-On Adventure with Poppy - Started the day all fresh and happy at the Railway Market. Poppy kept things fun right from the start and showed us the best spots to stand when the train came through.
Floating market: ate too much again Poppy kept pointing out snacks we “had to try,” and of course we did !!
The boat ride was calm and peaceful, a nice little break.
Ayutthaya… me melting but still smiling because everything looked amazing.

Full speed ahead all day! - What a splendid day with our guide Tina. We initially visited the railway market, it's lucky the train was driving slowly, or this would have been a really scary experience. But still Tina was around making sure we stayed safe. There was plenty to see and buy at the floating market. We were offered ice cream, and we bought some random sweets as well. Ayutthaya was quite spectacular and the buddha head in the tree was super weird. Tina was on point, sharing stories, not a boring moment in sight.

See a Lot in One Day - Today was a proper adventure with Tina. The train market was wild, really something to see! The floating market was lively with lots of food to try, and Ayutthaya was peaceful and beautiful. Tina is a skilled and friendly guide who takes good care of everyone. I’d definitely recommend this tour you get to see a lot in just one day.

Great Guide, Smooth Trip - Good trip overall. The schedule was well planned and not too rushed. Got to see the Railway Market, Floating Market, and Ayutthaya in one day which was great. The van was clean and comfy. Everything went smooth, and the guide took care of things quietly in the background didn’t need to worry about anything. Nice and easy day out of Bangkok.

A Day of Mini-Adventures - If you want a day of mini-adventures, this tour is it! Train whizzing through the market? Check. Floating market full of food temptations? Check. Chilling on a boat ride while taking silly photos? Check. Temples in Ayutthaya? Gorgeous. Poppy was hilarious and easygoing, making the whole day feel effortless. Can’t stop laughing just thinking about it!

All day and full of experiences - This is a full day's commitment, takes you from Bangkok to the floating market and then to Ayutthaya, there is a fair amount of transport time required. But they used very clean and nice cars. I enjoyed both locations very much, yet so different from each other, whereas the floating market is a bazaar on the water, with the normal hustle and buzzle, and Ayutthaya is calm and ancient. So, something for all the senses. We had a guide named James, with great English skills, and just an amazing person. Water and lunch were included in the price.

Markets, Temples, and Good Vibes - I just got back from a day trip to Railway Market, Floating Market, and Ayutthaya and it was such a great experience! Our guide, Poppy, was friendly and easygoing, which made the whole day enjoyable. The Railway Market was really something to see the train passes right through the stalls! The floating market was lively and full of great food.
Ayutthaya was beautiful and peaceful, and Poppy shared some interesting stories along the way. Everything was well organized and smooth. I’d definitely recommend this tour if you want to see some highlights of Bangkok in one fun day!

Ayutthaya & Market Tourออ - fantastic day with our guide, Cherry. We wandered through the Railway Market, drifted around the Floating Market, and soaked up the history at Ayutthaya. Cherry was calm, super organized, and always had some cool fact or story to share. She made the whole trip feel effortless. Ayutthaya those ancient temples and ruins just blew me away. Cherry’s friendly vibe really tied it all together. This is one tour that’s going to stick with me.
