Really enjoyed our tour to see the Maeklong Railway and Amphawa Floating market. To be honest, I was a bit reluctant to book this one as I was expecting it would be a typical mediocre group tour experience where the tour guide is just going through the motions and is just trying to make it to the end of the day so they could go home. But I did not feel that at all here, and this was actually quite a fun and unique tour. Yes, these places do attract a ton of foreign (and sometimes pushy) tourists, cause everyone wants to see these famous attractions, but that's true of many places in Thailand, and I didn't think it was too terrible so long as you set your expectations accordingly. I thought the tour struck a good balance and distribution of time spent in a variety of places, and overall was a great value for what you get. I also really appreciated Jack as a guide - he was friendly, funny, guided us through some local traditions that we each got to do ourselves, gave us background information and context on the places we visited, and I felt he was good about periodically checking in on everyone in our group throughout the tour to make sure everyone was doing well. He was a very attentive guide, and I felt he significantly contributed to a wonderful experience.

The tour guide Mr Angelo is very patient, and friendly. He volunteered helping us take some group photos. Love the lunch restaurant where we had our meals by the river. maeklong railway is an experience not to miss. we took a boat ride out to the river and managed to see some fire flies in the trees too.

Highly recommended! Niranya and our assigned driver are very accommodating and welcoming, very friendly. Worth the while. We should've booked earlier so we met our tripmates early on. Cheaper than other options checked. Must book! Thank you very much! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This time I took a train to Maeklong Railway Station, which was an activity from a different angle. I saw different living environments at the floating market. The fireflies at night were very beautiful.

We have a good time with Mr Job our tour guide who share with us many of the tour information. We had experience taking the train ride to Mae Klong Railway market and have ample time at the Amphawa Floatint market before departing for our fireflies boat trip.
