Excellent value for money and a great experience. - Ploy our tour guide was amazing. She spoke multiple languages in our small group of 9. She was in touch just before the trip with clear instructions and was informative throughout. The trip itself was great value for money, I would have paid more for the experiences. The driver was pleasant and we all felt safe at all times. It's a bonus we are getting dropped off at a mall in Bangkok too. Some people were picked up from their hotel, we chose a meeting point 15 minutes from our hotel. If you do this once in your lifetime, choose to go with this company, you won't be disappointed.

Jame(s) is the Jam - Jame(s) is awesome. He was knowledgeable about the tour and a lot of fun to talk to, bubbly but not overbearing. You will pay more for everything at these markets so don’t stop bargaining

It's a once in a lifetime experience you must try! - We were glad we made the right choice with Tripza Sight Seeing. The tour included convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole experience hassle-free.
Our day started at 8:40 AM with a pick-up from our hotel. We first headed to Chinatown, where five other participants joined us. From there, we made our way to Ban Laem Train Station—one of the oldest in Thailand. The travel agent specifically chose this station so we could secure seats on the train, rather than boarding at a more crowded stop.
The train departed at 10:10 AM and arrived at Maeklong Railway Market around 11:10 AM. Upon arrival, we had a unique opportunity to take photos in front of the train before it departed again at 11:30.
We then explored the vibrant wet market and had some free time to wander around before heading to the floating market.
After a short 30-minute drive, we arrived at the dock where long-tail boats were waiting. We were quickly fitted with life jackets and began our scenic ride to the floating market.
There, we had time to enjoy lunch and explore the riverside shops and stalls at a relaxed pace. We left around 3:00 PM and arrived back at our hotel by 5:00 PM.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, James, was informative, attentive, and incredibly resourceful throughout the trip. Highly recommended!

You can do it, but you don't necessarily have to. - Both guides are very nice and helpful and the tour is well organized. The bus driver drives you confidently and safely to your destination and back again. Well organized also means that everything is planned meticulously in time and there is little scope for individual discovery. The Trainmarket and Floatingmarket are a tourist spectacle and tourists are swarming everywhere. I wanted to see it and found it interesting. You sit on the bus a lot, though, because you have to get out of Bangkok first and the traffic is really crass. You can shop many souvenirs, but nothing special and certainly much cheaper in the MBK.
