The guide NUI who met us at the hotel was the star of the day. He was an extremely knowledgeable rep. He was so experienced and motivated that now we could almost write a thesis about Thailand and its history. He was worth the trip by himself. Never seen a guide so passionate. The bridge on the River Kwai was a brilliant experience. Of course, the floating market is something worth experiencing. This is a long day but worth it to see the 2 best areas of Thailand. Tip - Make time to try the coconut ice cream at the market

Interesting tour - lots to see and learn!

Published on Jun, 2020

We loved this tour and so glad we choose the private tour as our guide Ms Julia was great. She was full of useful information. She took us to see the floating markets which was a bonus. The bridge and cemetery was spin chilling to think what these people went through. Definitely pay the extra 150 THB to do the boat which takes you up past all the market stalls. Very unique experience.

Long day, but fascinating glimpse of history! Get a private tour, avoid the crowds

We really loved this tour and so glad we choose the private tour as our guide, Ms Julie was great. Full of useful information throughout the day. She took us to see the railway markets which was a bonus as we wanted to see this and she made a detour for us. The River Kwai bridge and cemetery was spine chilling to think what these people went through. The market was also a great experience and we went over to the food section as a bonus. Very unique experience.
