Great service - They took us to both locations. I wished they would have started off with the floating market first then the railway market as that one we only had 30 mins to look around which goes by so fast and it had better deals for shopping. But other than that the tour guide let us explore and do our own thing which is what I was hoping for.

Uk - It was beautiful. The guide was especially excellent. Don’t think it’s absolutely worth it. Try it out, we took 2 people around 1600 October 22

Perfect for a Half Day - The tour was perfect for half of the day since it started early in the morning. I liked that it had both the train and floating markets and included transportation.

Day out of BKK - I truly enjoyed the day. Turned out to be just 2 of us making it easy to maneuver the train experience and market. We had front row and some nice coconut water and the guide (fantastic) also picked up the tiny pineapples for us to share! So sweet in taste. Nice transport too!

A Memorable Experience! - We were picked up from the hotel by the driver on time and reached the floating market safely even if the weather wasn’t so good at the start. We had a good time riding the boat at the floating market and did a bit of shopping there. We also went to the Elephant camp (Chang Puak Camp), then a bonus to the train market as some of the customers in that same tour had booked for that so we managed to see it for free.
I highly recommend this tour if your time in Bangkok is limited. Our tour guide and our driver were very nice and kind.

Two Very Different Kinds of Markets - We enjoyed going to both markets and experiencing the floating market and the railway market. We appreciated the fact that we got to the railway market in time to see the passing of the train.

Fun tour but lots of driving and a very long day, would only recommend if you have free time -
This was a fun day and well organized tour but longer than expected and I would probably not recommend it unless you have a lot of free time in Bangkok. We were picked up just after 6:30AM from our hotel and did not return to the city until almost 2PM, and we spent the majority of that time (3-4 hours) driving. Both market stops are extremely touristy but are unique experiences. The train market was a good amount of time because the time that the train passes is only a few minutes. The floating market stop was a bit long. We opted to do the additional canal boat tour for 150 baht each and it was crowded and chaotic but good fun. After that, we could have done without the included speed boat tour but that did not take too long. The shopping is not particularly unique and very overpriced but again, it is a fun experience, good tour, and a decent way to spend a day in Bangkok.

Good tour too many people and time in van. - Great to see the railway and floating markets but the experience is oversold. There were so many people it was hard to get around. While we enjoyed seeing the train going through the market it was probably not worth 3+ hours in a minivan to and from to see it. The floating market was a little better and we choose to eat there versus get a boat at an additional cost. We had an hour and 45 mins so it seemed like too much time for what it was. We then came back and the driver decided to cancel one of the scheduled stops at the metro so we had to find transportation to the metro ourselves. Not a big deal but on the tour, the metro was one of two stops they would do on the way back.
We don’t regret the trip but just letting folks know what they are signing up for.
