Great Tour - I went with my friends, and it was my first time joining this kind of tour. We were so lucky to have Annie as our guide. She made the day fun, easy, and super chill. We got to see a lot in just one day without feeling rushed. Annie explained things in a way that was easy to understand. Honestly, the tour felt really worth it. Thanks Annie for making it such a good memory!

Cherry’s Market Food Hunt - Cherry turned the floating market into a food tour. We tried so many snacks that we almost skipped lunch. The train passing by the market stalls was unforgettable, and Ayutthaya gave us the perfect balance of culture and relaxation.

A Day That Ticked All the Boxes - At this stage in life, I’ve done enough tours to know what works and what doesn’t. This one worked. Poppy kept the pace comfortable, nothing felt rushed, and the mix of local food and sightseeing was spot on. I came home with great photos

Patrick’s Knowledge Made It Better - Patrick shared interesting history in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. We saw so much in one day, yet the pace was comfortable and never tiring. The itinerary was well-balanced, giving us a wonderful mix of experiencing local life at the markets and exploring the ancient ruins in Ayutthaya. Patrick also added small details and stories that made each place come alive, and his friendly personality made the whole trip even more enjoyable. It was a day full of learning, fun, and beautiful sights.

Nice ending to our visit to Bangkok - This was an epic ending to our 8-day visit to Bangkok, Thailand. As a tourist it can be hard to experience more than the BTS and malls, but this offered a nice ending and maybe a more authentic Thai experience, while street food is widely available, the train and floating market added a layer of interesting! And then finishing with some Thai heritage at Ayutthaya.

This is Thailand! - I loved the markets, not only the food, but as a digital creator I got some great videos and pictures to use as well. While I had my mind set on the railway market, Ayutthaya was really a pleasant surprise, much thanks to our guide Paula, who explained a lot about Siam (Thai) history. This is an experience everyone should try at least once.

This was a great mix of locations to visit. - My guide Annie was great from start to finish! Railway market was like the Tik-Tok videos I've seen, Ayutthaya’s ruins and history was very fascinating, each stop was very different. As a tourist, the temple visits were great, just be a bit sensitive to tradition in regard to clothing, and at the floating market there is plenty of food to choose from, even for the picky eater.

From Markets to Monuments – This Tour Has It All! - This was hands down one of the best day tours we've done! Tina was so fun and informative, and the itinerary was the perfect combo of unique experiences. The railway market was wild, the boat ride at the floating market was super cool, and the temples in Ayutthaya were jaw-dropping. Highly recommend!
