Super Planned Day Tour Amphawa, Temple and Floating Market - The tour was great. Everything was right from the start. Pick up at the meeting point worked great and our guide Jack was very friendly and also informed us a lot about Thailand as well as the sights and customs in Bangkok. The tour is well planned, as the railway only runs through at certain times as well as the timing at the Amphawa market with the Firefly Tour. Thanks to Jack we had a great day in and around Bangkok. Thank you very much!!

A must see and do - What a great day. Jack and Tiki helped make our tour an exceptionally enjoyable time. Not only did Jack share some great history of our tour spots, he included everyone in our small group. Great job Jack! The tour was perfectly timed to experience the best of each stop without wasting time. A beautiful and memorable trip.

Excellent day trip - The train market was a unique experience, Amphawa night market was also very relaxed with a night boat trip to see the fireflies on the river. Very well organised and our guide jack was very helpful. Though I enjoyed the night market and was very local. More Thais visiting that the other floating markets. The only downside was there was not much for vegetarian food options

Interesting and unique trip out of the city - Very friendly guide who kept the day running smoothly but plenty of time to see everything. The market at Amphawa is wonderful and seeing the train pass by is a cool and unique experience. Definitely worth a day trip!

Great trip and Awesome Experience. - The trip guide and driver were knowledgeable and helpful. Got a lot of information and was given enough time to explore all the locations. Nowhere during the day trip did it feel that we missed out on anything. Great tour and thumbs up!!

Apart from the usual visits - Very nice guide, very well documented, the driver too. The market on track, to be seen definitively. Scenery even if crowded with tourists However, the Amphawa floating market is no longer floating: Only 2 small boats that are more there for photos than authenticity. The market is on the banks, crowded of course. This last point is disappointing Fireflies: well, not much. Overall pleasant day thanks to our guide, endearing

Given much more than we expected - We were given the wrong pick up time so waited an hour but once picked up we had an amazing day. Visan our guide spoke excellent English and added many experiences to our day trip. He put us on the Maeklong train so we experienced going through the market stalls then we had an hour to enjoy there. We were then able to take photos of the train coming back through the stalls. He then took us to a Thailand culture outdoor centre and then on to Amphawa floating market where we enjoyed a boat trip to see fire flies. So much more than we expected. A great day. Thank you

Great tour. - It was a great experience. Kit our guide was lovely and took time to take pictures as I was travelling solo. Mini van was comfortable. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because I was moved from one mini van to another after I have made friends. I was initially told it was due to a mistake. Later I found out it was because 2 friends were booked into 2 separate mini vans as they booked separately. Miffed that they weren’t in the same van I was moved to accommodate them. In the new mini van I was the only English person there so felt a bit isolated. Not sure why the two separate booking people were given priority over me. I guess being the solo person it was easy to move me. But I would liked to have been asked if I minded moving.

Need to leave earlier and get back earlier. - Unfortunately the departure times from Bangkok was quite late. Pick up was supposed to be 12:30 but due to change of transport we didn't leave until 1:15pm which meant we missed the arrival of the 2:30pm 🚂 into the market. Then had to wait until 3:30pm for departure of the train. Need to scrap the firefly cruise as arrival back to Bangkok is not till 9pm which means it is too late to enjoy Bangkok in the evening. Should arrive back about 7:30pm instead. Leave earlier get back earlier.
