5.00We had the best time on tour with Alexa and Maria. They were both so funny and had great tips for our tour. They helped to move us around safely and warned us about any local information we needed to keep in mind. The tour had lots of toilet breaks and opportunities to try new foods. Alexa also is an amazing photographer!

5.00Highly recommend this tour. Hotel bus pickup was on time and in a very comfortable bus vehicle. Well arranged tour for small group. Not much waiting about and enough time at both markets. Combination of bus and train rides is perfect. Lots of opportunity to buy food, refreshments and tourist items. Kwan was a perfect tour guide. Happy and knowledgeable. She bought us little treats of fruit to sample.

5.00It's a great balance of time and experience. NJ was professional and bubbly. She provides all the tips with the markets. Our group was around 12 people approx. Which made it easy when it got to the board to split up perfectly. I did the standard tick and caught a grab as per the email. Communication was simple and easy.
Excellent tour experience

5.00Tour was great. The team was very informative and professional. They had zero problem communicating with the tourists and offered plenty of information along with a little humor. Alexa, Kuwan and Driver (forgot name) were very polite and made sure we did not get lost in the sea of other tourists. Would definitely recommend for a family.

3.00Train Market and ride was fun. Floating market was too touristy all selling the same stuff. The boat drivers just go to their family members stalls. Not many food vendors on the water. By the time we had lunch most of the stalls were packing up and not enough time was given to wander the other Market stalls.
