Great history day tour - It's a busy day, but really interesting history and the surrounding jungle and mountains is beautiful. Not too much time in the museums so if you're keen to read more, maybe snap a few photos of the information boards to catch up reading on the bus. Bung the guide was great, had some lovely chats and learnt a lot from her.

A life changing tour - This is a long day but totally worth it. The guide is very knowledgeable and helpful. The driver friendly and good. The places of interest are mind blowing. The museum at the cemetery is particularly good.

An educational and emotionally moving day - A great tour of the Kanchanaburi area including the Allied War Cemetery, River Bridge, Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum, Konyu Cutting-Hellfire Pass walking trail and Memorial and finally take the train along part of the ‘Death Railway’. Definitely take this opportunity to pay respects to the Allied Forces and local civilian workers who lost their lives for our freedoms today. Plentiful local lunch, knowledgeable guide, good safe driver comfortable air con van. A long day from Bangkok but a definite ‘must do’ on your list.

Excellent use of a day in Bangkok! - Excellent Day Trip from Bangkok. A fully rounded experience of the trauma over the Death Railway construction and the topography surrounding it. Highlight has to be Hellfire Pass and the aura present. Decent lunch and pleasant train ride culminating in a walk across the legendary ‘Bridge over the River Kwai’. Our guide Alex was helpful and informative and our driver (missed his name) was a force of nature negotiating the Chaotic traffic. Fully recommend this tour despite the early start!

Interesting tour - Luke (our guide) was informative, but his meeting times & locations were not accurate. When I was on time, he made me feel late as I wasn’t early. He wouldn’t tell us where we were meeting & I just guessed correctly or he wouldn’t be in the location & we (3 of us) accidentally ran into him & the others. It was frustrating.

Tour was amazing - The whole itinerary was nicely planned. We chose this tour for the history and visiting the bridge and hellfire. The food was great! The views from the train ride were spectacular… however …. The guide Tony wasn’t as informative as expected the journey to the points were quiet and I was expecting maybe some information about the landmarks were visiting.
