A day not to forget - Ken our guide provided us with an experience that we will never forget visiting Hellfire Pass and the Bridge over the river Kwai. Plus the Commonwealth Cemetery in Kanchanaburi. His knowledge was impressive and we also thought our driver on the tour was great too.

Mr Ken made our day! - Mr Ken, was awesome as our guide, arrived on time, added humour to fact and really made us feel welcome. Nothing was too much. Fully recommend the trip and ask for Mr Ken.

Remembrance and Respect - First thing to understand is that it is a full day tour with 6 hours travel time. Visiting each of the sites and discovering the history clearly brings home the bravery and suffering of the people involved; Australian, Dutch, English and American POW,s a like but never forgetting the Asian workers who suffered equally. An amazing tour that invokes emotion and pride.

Wow, this was an... - Wow, this was an excellent trip, very poignant and was an eye opener into what these guys went through. The guide “Ken” was outstanding, very knowledgeable and delivered a great summary of all the places we visited. He had a great sense of humour and nothing was too much during the trip. Every request was carried out and would certainly recommend the trip.

Definitely do this! - This is deeply moving, and physically challenging at one point in the day. Well worth it. Ken is a very thoughtful guide, who understands how feelings are as important as facts. His Thai perspective is so very helpful and his knowledge base is impressive.

Brilliant! - This is a fantastic and must do trip. Ken our tour guide was exceptional and our driver Mr Yoon was lovely. Nothing was too much bother for them and we never felt rushed to complete the excursion. it was a long day but well worth it. We were well looked after with water and comfort breaks and the air conditioning in the comfortable van was welcome. The trip included a one hour train journey which was very picturesque and interesting. A visit to the the Kanchanaburi war cemetery was very moving and the Bridge didn't disappoint. We had a very nice lunch and also visted the JEATH war museum. We can't recommend this trip highly enough.

Apparently you need Ken - After reading all of the so positives reviews we decided to take this tour, because we really wanted to see and know more about the Bridge. We did not have Ken as our guide, and maybe that was the big issue. Our guide was friendly but not informative at all. Also the promise water on board was not available. Ok she bought us 1 bottle each but that was it. We started at the bridge itself: no info but the sign and we got 30 min to walk the bridge. But no info or stories. She waited at the car. Then off to Hellfire’s Pass: one hour drive and almost there we heard that it was closed due to the earthquake the day before. Understandable, so 45 min drive back to a trainstation for the train ride. The ride was nice, but again nothing from the guide. Not even some explanation about the monks train wagon which we almost entered by accident. Then lunch was fine. After that we went to the Jeath museum, again no info, she only pushed the button for the movie. (Btw this museum is just a rebuild barrack with some pictures) We asked for drinks and she pointed across the street where we could buy some) Then the cemetery. Again she waited at the car. (Other guides walked with their customers). And that was it. Another long drive back to Bangkok, and again if we didn’t ask questions she would be silent most of the time. So I think this could be a worthwhile trip, but apparently only when you get Ken. For us it was lacking the information you expect when you book a private tour.
