An unforgettable trip with the best guide - I have to say, I don’t usually book tours, but this was hands down the best one I’ve ever been on. For me, a great tour means a great guide, good organization, and interesting places and this tour had everything! Especially our guide, Poppy. She’s so sweet, friendly, and really knows the area. She made the whole trip so much fun. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, you’re going to love it!

Amazing Day Outside Bangkok - An amazing and fun packed day. The Railway market and the floating market are great fun. And the temples just awe inspiring. Be warned there is a lot of driving and we were exhausted by the end but would strongly recommend the experience. Our guide Henry was excellent and our driver Mr Tam very attentive.

Memorable Family Day with Poppy! - Today, I took my family on a tour with a guide Poppy. Our first stop was the Maeklong Railway Market; watching the train pass through the market was so exciting! I loved it, and the kids had a blast too. Next, we visited a floating market. It was so lively with plenty of food and souvenirs, and we even got to take a boat ride. Poppy treated us to some coconut ice cream, which was deliciously sweet! After that, we headed to Ayutthaya. It was a bit of a drive, but absolutely worth it the ruins were beautiful, and we even got to take photos in traditional Thai costumes. Even though lunch wasn't included in the tour, we asked Poppy to take us to a restaurant with giant river prawns. It was such a special meal; the prawns were incredibly fresh and sweet. Overall, we loved this trip! Thank you to Poppy for taking such great care of us. She is funny, lovely, and very friendlyWe’ll miss you, Poppy!

Amazing time with an awesome guide. - Amazing day. Our guide Katie was the best. She knew where all the best eats were. And where the best spots to stand when the train comes by. Even after the tour, Katie and her driver drove us to Terminal 21 to do some “air conditioned” shopping 😅

So much respect for Poppy’s knowledge - Poppy is a really great guide. She knows a lot about Thai history and traditions, and explains things in a simple, easy-to-understand way. She’s very polite and thoughtful, and always explained the meaning behind the places we visited clearly. She really put effort into making the whole experience feel meaningful without it feeling too serious or formal. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable day with her.

Everything went as... - Everything went as planned. The pick-up was on time, the van was comfortable, and the time spent at each place was flexible. Our tour guide, Preecha, was very kind. He did his best to make sure we enjoyed the tour and suggested different spots for photos. He was a good photographer too. We arrived at the train market about 10–15 minutes before the train passed, and Preecha found a good spot for us to watch. The floating market felt less rushed and we had our own boat waiting for us. We didn’t buy anything from the boats because the prices were quite overpriced , but we spent some time walking around the market as well. It’s still a bit overpriced, but you can bargain. We finished the tour in Ayutthaya and spent about two hours there. Preecha was always knowledgeable, and although English is a second language for both of us, we understood each other well. I would definitely recommend this tour.
