Enjoyable day - It was a very enjoyable day. Our driver was excellent, a very safe driver! Our tour guide was friendly and his English was good. We did everything on the itinerary and there was plenty of time for each spot.
The only thing that I would say was a little questionable was we were taken to a beautiful floating restaurant for lunch and told what we would be ordering. If we are paying for our own lunch we should be selecting off the entire menu for ourselves. Because of this, we thought lunch was therefore included so when we were handed the bill for not only our lunch but the tour guides as well it was a bit of a shock. Nowhere does it say you are expected to pay for your tour guides lunch.
Do if you're doing a private tour please know this is how it may work.
It was an expensive tour at 11400bht but a full day

Floating market, river Kwai - This whole day trip for just my wife and I was well worth it. Early start 7am, luxury transport, safely driven by Mr. Kai, with Army, a very informed guide who also had a good sense of humour. The floating market was great, walking the bridge over the river, the train journey and other experiences just made the whole day fly in. Army took photographs and shared them with us. He clearly knew the best photographic spots. Definitely recommend it.

Railway Market - Floating Market- Bridge over the River Kwai - This was one of the best tours we have been on in Thailand, our guide for the day was Army, who I would highly recommend for this tour, he was very informative, kept us safe and knew all the best places to view all the attractions ,we never had to queue as Army seemed to know how to walk us straight into the heart of the action!
The Railway Market needs to be seen to be believed as the train passes so close to market traders and tourist we also visited the bigger market behind the railway market, Army purchased snacks which we enjoyed.
The Floating Market is an unforgettable experience, soaking up the atmosphere of the traders as they go about their daily business on the canal, I would definitely recommend the coconut ice cream delicious! When buying souvenirs don’t forget to haggle your price!
Bridge over the River Kwai and the ride on the death Railway looking back at how history unfolded during the 2nd world war was emotional along with the visit to the war graves, Army was well informed and we had plenty of time to take everything in. We enjoyed our Lunch in a lovely floating restaurant with great views of the Bridge,

Incredible Trip with the best guide you can wish for - Our Guide Army was just incredible. He told all the stories behind Maeklong Railway market, the floating market and the Railway along the River Kwai and the famous Bridge crossing it. The history behind is so touching and the trip by train made you feel the atmosphere. Thank you so much for everything, Army.

A magical markets journey - Army is a very knowledgeable tour guide that understands and speaks English real well. Our driver Vee was amazing, getting us to places planned and pickup as smooth as one can be. Army helped us see a different dimension of the market and I would recommend those two to anyone looking for a tour in Bangkok

A very successful day - Army and Non were very accommodating throughout the day and always took good care of us.
Non brought us to the various activities without any problems.
Army has explained everything to us patiently and, if necessary, several times. He showed us the best spots and thus gave us an unforgettable day.
