Thai market tour - We have been traveling around quite a bit and this has not only been one of the best tours, but definitely the best tour guide (Tip). She was there on time to pick us up and while the driver expertly drove us around, she explained everything we were seeing along the way. Her English was very good, as well. She anticipated all of our needs (bathroom breaks at nice places, getting a seat for my mom on the train, having cold waters waiting for us, etc.). As for the actual sites themselves, we enjoyed them quite a bit especially the boat ride through the market. Everything was perfectly timed. There was no waiting around. We got to try some delicious food at the market and brought home some cute souvenirs. Overall, there was not one boring part of the day, even the drive there and back. Kudos to whoever put this itinerary together, our excellent driver, and, of course, our amazing tour guide.

We also brought home plenty of fruit and souvenirs Totally a chill and memorable day would love to do it again.

Nancy made this all so special - Nancy is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Her energy was amazing she made everything feel easy and fun. I don’t even need to say much about the places because they were all fantastic, but what really made the day special was her. She knew every spot so well and made us feel completely comfortable the whole time. The boat ride was lovely, and that coconut ice cream at the end was the perfect treat. Honestly, I didn’t want the tour to end.
Thank you so much, Nancy, for such a wonderful day. You really made my trip unforgettable.

Fun, Culture, and Great Vibes with Annie! - I just went on a tour with Annie today, and she was absolutely wonderful! She picked us up from our hotel, and we headed to our first stop. The ride wasn’t too long, and when we arrived at the market, we had time to walk around while waiting for the train to pass through. At first, I couldn’t quite believe it but then I saw it with my own eyes! The train really passed right through the market, and within seconds, the vendors folded up their umbrellas and cleared the tracks. It was such an incredible sight definitely a highlight you shouldn’t miss!
After that, we visited the floating market, which was calm and full of life at the same time. There were so many things to see clothes, fruits, souvenirs, and delicious local food. Sitting on the boat, feeling the breeze, and watching people sell goods from their boats was such a peaceful and special experience. It gave me a glimpse into Thailand’s simple, beautiful way of life.
I’ll never forget today.
A big thank you to Annie for making the day so memorable she was kind, thoughtful, and full of positive energy. Truly one of the best guides!

Excellent ! 5 stars - Noc was an excellent tour guide through the markets! To start, she was early to pick up my group from the hotel. The mini van was clean and very comfortable for my travel group of 4. She even provided water for us! She did greet job explaining and pointing out landmarks along our hour long drive to the railway market. In the market she did not leave our side and was there to haggle down any prices (if needed). She even bought various local fruits and snack for us to try!
Next, we went to the floating market and we had the opportunity to do even more shopping there. She is so knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions asked.
All in all, we had an amazing tour with Noc! She made the day seamless and very smooth. The driver-Peter was also very nice. He felt like our own security lol.
I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

A wonderful day tour with Poppy - We had a fabulous day with Poppy (tour guide) and Wan (driver) when we went to the train market and a beautiful floating market. Both were outside of Bangkok which we enjoyed and the car and he drive was comfortable. Poppy is a good communicator and is fun and considerate. We had the BEST Coconut Ice Cream and Mango Sticky Rice! We highly recommend this tour.

A Perfect Day with Tina - The whole experience felt premium from the start, clean van, cool air, cold water, and perfect timing. But what made it truly special was Tina. She has this natural charm that makes everyone feel so comfortable and cared for.
Exploring the floating market, she treated us to some local desserts creamy coconut ice cream and sweet mango sticky rice. Simple things, but honestly, they made the day feel even more special. We laughed, relaxed, and just enjoyed every little moment. Tina turned what could’ve been just another tour into something I’ll definitely remember.
