Maeklong market train and floating markets - Fantastic day seeing parts of Bangkok we would probably not have seen. The markets were amazing. The railway experience was fantastic. We then went on to the floating markets which again were an experience. Highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky enough to get Pam as your guide you are in for a treat. Lovely lady, super knowledgeable and super prepared.

Amazing Tour - Our hotel was a bit out of town, but the tour company sent a private vehicle to pick us up from our hotel and bring us to the meeting point with the group we were going to tour with. They were very caring and attentive from start to finish.
The tour in general was excellent, guide Bowie was incredibly informative. There were 5-6 of us in total on the tour, it was like a special tour for us. Thank you very much for their helpfulness and interest, I recommend everyone to try this tour

Eh...could have been more professional. - The floating market and railway markets tour was not the experience I'd hope for. The hotel pick up was 45 minutes late after they sent me an email past 10 pm the night before to inform me that they were moving the pick up time up by 30 mins. Then they show up very late. Also, with an early morning pick up, they drove for 3.5 hours before they stopped to let us get food or coffee. The van is old and a bit on the dirty side. It also broke down on the freeway on our return. The driver did not apologize for the inconvenience not to mention the fright of it all. The driver also drove like a runaway prisoner, at times only driving a foot off the bumper of the car in front and speeding constantly. The service providers were just not very professional and made us feel a bit 'processed'. I also would not recognize the floating market at all. It was clearly designed and exists solely for tourists and you will not find anything that is legitimately cultural or brand named. It seemed more like an amusement ride than a culturally immersive experience.

Confusing - The floating market was fun to see, but the tour guides did not speak much English and provide any direction on the trip which left a lot of confusion. Also did not get taken to the salt farms or coconut grove as listed on the tour information.

Bad experience - Railway and floating market were interesting but the company we booked with was terrible. picked up in cramped mini van . Nothing explained on pickup. Guide was not in our car and we were never introduced to him. He took us to the railway and told us we had to meet back at bus at certain time but no explanation on how to get back. Floating market was good but everything badly organised. Also not taken to coconut farm and nothing explained why not. Money spent on not a very happy day
