“Amazing! Mr ‘A’ was fabulous, so informative funny, engaging, clear and helpful. Made the long journey go very quickly with his knowledge about Thailand and the tour. Felt like we had plenty of time in each place. We went on a Monday so didn’t feel too busy / touristy luckily. Both places lived up to the hype and expectations. Don’t be an ‘E’ when you can be an ‘A’!!! ( you’ll have to go on the trip to find out what that means 😉) Thank you !!!”
Review of Bangkok’s private Maeklong Railway and Damnoen Saduak market tour, with transport, food, timing, value, and practical tips.
“My wife and I were lucky enough to have Time as our guide and Mr. Vee as our driver! Time was super personable and knowledgeable answering any questions we had about Thai culture and the markets we visited. This tour is the perfect distance outside of Bangkok for a day trip without feeling too rushed. The boat ride on the canals was definitely a highlight! The tour feels a bit overpriced and the nonrefundable cancellation policy is extreme, but it definitely reflects in the quality of the guide. Thank you for a memorable day Time!”

“The actual markets are great but for a private tour I expected a guide who could communicate with me . Although the guide was kind and did her best it made it hard for us to ask questions and communicate and be curious about different things we have never seen , it was more of a taxi who took us from point a to point b but not a tour .”
