Amazing Tour - Jenny, our tour guide, is a superstar. She really took care of us. She got us a good view of the train at the Maeklong Railway Market. And when we got back to Bangkok, she helped us get the correct subway line back to our hotel. After helping us, I saw her get a taxi for another family. Highly recommend!

Great day trip out of the city to the floating market and the train market! - This was a great day trip out of the city to see the floating market and train market! We were taken on a large tour bus with wonderful A/C to keep us cool. Our guide, Sam, was so nice and gave us a lot of information about Thailand and their culture. The markets are definitely for tourists, but such a cool thing to see. I highly recommend doing this if you come to Bangkok!

Sam, the best guide in my life - Without a doubt the best guide we have had on our long trip through Thailand. Sam was attentive, nice and very entertaining!. During the bus journey he told us very interesting things about Thailand and its people. I thought it was a really cultured staff and grateful to meet you from time to time in life. I hope you go with Monkey Tours to check it out.
As for the tour itself, I really liked that they gave us a lot of freedom to do what we wanted, it is true that Sam gave us several tips so that they did not take advantage of us and that our experience was as pleasant and safe as possible.

Shopping differently !! - The Floating Market was too faraway from Bangkok, the Canoe shopping experience was too short considering the time travel in the bus ! the prices are higher compared to other shopping centres in Thailand.
The Railway Market is a must visit place in Bangkok even it is very crowded still an exceptional destination, specially when it was announced that train is approaching and shoppers must move their belongings away , tourists should mind the gab and turn back behind the red line.
Sam the Guide, made our day with his sense of humour, his knowledge and ability to tell the history in a funny way, his passion and his generosity.

Meh - Monkey Travel, specifically our guide, Jeed, was phenomenal. His expertise, care, thoughtfulness was the best part of this experience.
End of the day, this was too long of an excursion for a subpar experience. If these two markets were closer to Bangkok, maybe I’d recommend checking them out. But the authenticity of these markets were sullied by wannabe travel influencers capturing their picture perfect moment.
We were picked up at the hotel at 8am, didn’t leave the meeting point until 9:15 and then didn’t get back to the meeting point until 5pm. The majority of the long day was spent in the transportation vehicle. They also do not offer the hotel drop off after the tour so we had to figure that out on our own. Due to this I might recommend the later start to miss the horrible rush hour traffic on the way back into the city.
I want to reiterate that the travel company was great, this just was not worth the $ and time spent. I would not recommend to a friend.
