A brilliant trip. Our guides Alexa & Katy Perry, (as they called themselves) were informative, funny & interesting. Visiting the train & floating markets was one of the highlights of our holiday.

An excellent day out. Very enjoyable. I think Alexa could turn down the holiday camp atmosphere a little particularly when both guides are talking. Instructions at times were a bit confusing but in the end everything turned out fine

Jenny and Farah were energetic enthusiastic and very helpful throughout the day tour. They helped with great tips about the local vendors and how to avoid getting scammed. The bus transport was comfortable and very punctual. I was amazed by how well they were organised. The restaurant they took us to, in the train market was slightly expensive but can’t really complain because everything is expensive there. I highly recommend this day tour for anyone looking to visit the floating market and train market

Spent the day visiting the floating markets & the railway market. Tour was impeccably organised & both tour guides were caring & full of energy (Jenny/Fara) Boat & train journey were fun, and even though both venues are purely for tourists now, they give a glimpse into how these markets used to be! Overall, good value & would recommend this company!!

This tour was mixed. The tour guides, Kwan and Wana, were very friendly and were the highlight of the trip. They even brought fruit snacks and candies for us during the bus rides. The other highlight was the boat ride where you can see the Thai landscape with fruit trees (including banana, coconut, jackfruit), taro, and even some large lizards if you’re lucky. The train ride was also interesting if you haven’t experienced an open-air (no AC) train through the countryside - it was enjoyable until it became packed with so many tourists all going to the same location. For me, the negatives were the train market and the floating market unfortunately. I did not think this was a good use of a day in Thailand because you’re going to a tourist only destination. This is not a way to experience the culture and immerse yourself in the country. You are spending a day traveling (two hours each way) just to go to packed locations with only tourists (no locals) and gift shops. You can find the same souvenirs in Bangkok if you want them. If you decide to go, I do recommend a couple things. I would recommend bringing a mask because the air pollution is quite bad especially on the boat ride because there are a bunch of boats spewing emissions in your face for 45 minutes. And I would suggest not paying extra for the hotel pickup if you hotel is near a BTS/metro station - they pick you up early and it’s like a bus; you have to go to several peoples hotel before you arrive at the meeting location. It is much faster (and cheaper) to just take the skytrain because the meeting location is just below the National Stadium station, or take a Grab if you truly need a ride. Overall, I enjoyed meeting the tour guides and some parts of the tour but I do not think i would do this activity again.

Promp answers via text and through WhatsApp. Tour guides Leo & Tukta explained and assist with our questions and concerns with ease. They make you feel like friends/ family. Nice boat ride & unique train ride. Something different to do beside shopping/ dining in Bangkok

This was a fantastic tour… Tukta and Leo were fabulous guides and took care of us through the whole day. They were able to help accommodate our food issues at lunch (one vegetarian, and one with severe food allergies) and when they treated us to a post-train snack. The train ride was fantastic, but warm (no A/C as advertised) so choose an early start time if you’re sensitive to heat. The highlight was absolutely the train rolling into the train market with us on it, and watching it roll back out again from literally an inch away. The boat ride to the floating market was fabulous too, and we saw several lucky monitor lizards on the shore. 100% recommend!

We are on this tour with tour lady named Tukta who speaks perfect english and is very fun and thoughtful. This tour is almost full day visiting both floating market and train market. This tour in my opinion is a MUST if you are in Bangkok. We hope will book another tour with Ms Tukta again. Thank you very much!

Jenny was amazing! Everything was so well organized! Tripza picked us up at our hotel in a really nice van, then we met up with our group. We hopped on our motor coach, then headed out to the Floating Market via canal ride in a long tail boat. We did a bit of shopping at the Market, then we were off to the Train Market! Walked the Market just before the train came thru. It was an orchestrated process as the shops moved their items and awnings out of the way, just before the train came thru. Crazy fun to watch. Between locations we were always on a very comfortable, air conditioned motor coach! It was a tremendous trip and will be a very solid memory. Thanks again Jenny!!!
