Amazing Tour Guide and Driver - We had an amazing experience with this tour. First of all, our Tour guide Jim is so knowledgeable, nice and hospitable person. She’s our tour guide and also has great photography skills - takes amazing instagrammable photos along the tour. What I like about this tour is that they don’t just drop you off to the destination, they actually plan to make it a more wonderful experience by having you ride a 30-min train to reach the railway market, and having you take a boat from a village to the floating market. That in itself an amazing and memorable experience. Our amazing driver Lucky waiting to pick us up from one spot after another with cold water and refreshing towels to help us after finishing exploring the destinations. Both Jim and Lucky are incredible at what they do, I felt that we were taken good care of during the whole duration of the trip, and were thinking of how they can make the whole trip comfortable and fun. I am extremely grateful to both of them. Thank you!

Nice day with multiple experiences - Poppy is as amazing. Knowledgeable, flexible, and helpful. She knew we wanted a more local experience so she took an alternate path back to our hotel so we could experience more local Thai culture. The floating market was a bit of a disappointment, with mire souvenirs than food products as we expected but the overall trip was well worth it.

Great combined activity. Highly recommend. - Our guide, Oil, was great. Not only did we see the sights, we had excellent insight and photography services. our guide took us to a coconut plantation, family owned/operated where we learned about coconut sugar. The floating market and railway markets were a highlight of our vacation.

Brilliant tour with Lin & Kevin - We had a very early start for this trip but it really was worth it. Lin and Kevin we brilliant guides and got us through the mad Bangkok traffic in time to get the train to the market. Lin was brilliant at taking lots of photos and videos which she sent to us. Lin is very knowledgable and has been guiding tours for many years! We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour

Excellent trip out for the family - Went on the Floating & Railway Market tour with our guide Lin, she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and knew exactly where to sit on the train and where to go in the market for the best photo opportunities. We also made stops at the coconut farm and salt farm on the way which broke the journey up.

Floating Market & Umbrella Train - Lin was friendly and thoughtful & the driver Kevin was helpful! Lin even made sure there was time to pause for photos and l memories. She took her time with the photos to ensure satisfactory results! Lin also offered suggestions for hidden gems. The only downside was she constantly was asking for us to leave a review. Her pleasant personality made up for constant ask. Would recommend Lin and Kevin!
