Amazing day with amazing guide - Niranya was an amazing, helpful guide! She provided detailed descriptions of every activity, answered every question and made sure everyone was fine during whole trip. Waterfalls were heaven on earth, level 3 and 4 were the best for swimming!

Erawan Falls & River Kwai Tour - The entire trip was well organised.
Our guide Niranya was helpful and informative so it was a very easy going day. She checked to see if we needed any advice when ordering lunch, highlighting traditional dishes on the menu and also with the street vendors.
The trip up the river to the bridge is well worth it.
The waterfalls were beautiful and refreshing for a dip, but be aware that it is a bit of a hike to reach the highest waterfalls (level 6 &7), especially if you’re not used to the heat. The rocks are also a bit slippery around the pools. If you have a fish phobia, be prepared for them have a nibble of your feet while you’re in the water.
The National Park is such a beautiful area and makes for a nice change of pace from Bangkok.

Good logistics - This trip was a good way to combine both the river Kwai and the waterfall. Without having the tour it would have been tough to do both

Good tour to Erawan Falls and River Kwai - If you have only one free day in Bangkok, this tour is a great way to visit the Erawan Falls and River Kwai area. Please plan in advance well your transportation from/to your hotel to the tour’s pick up/drop off point because it might be challenging depending on where you are staying. The tour guy stepped in at end funding us a taxi back to our hotel, but it is better not having to worry about this in advance.

Great day out. - We really enjoyed this tour, only took a star off as quite abit of travelling time, 2 hrs to war museum, worth a visit, then to bridge, loved the boat ride, then an hour to waterfalls, tried to get us into a particular restaurant for lunch, but there were other choices and we chose else where, The waterfalls were beautiful and enjoyed swimming in them, it was a 3 hr journey back, But enjoyed our day and would recommend it.
