Sam’s Service is the best in Touring Train and Floating Market - Read great reviews on Sam and requested for him to be our guide. Booked a private tour for a family of 5 and Sam took care from A - Z. As we’re Muslim, he took care and also shared which are those places which are Halal. He’s very knowledgable about the country and culture and he is funny two. My kids enjoyed their time with him. One thing that I really appeciate Sam was, a) the tour suppose to end at IconSiam but requested to skip and go to ChatuChak Market. Sam accompanied us inform us where to take the MRT and how to take care of ourselves before going back which is commendable. B) He followed up with us later at night to ensure we arrived at the hotel safely. Tour overall was great but Sam made the difference. Do let him know your preference and he’ll do his level best to give his service

Great Experience, great guide.. SAM! - The paddleboat market was a true highlight. The train market was quite crowded but still interesting. Our guide, Sam, was absolutely terrific. Some of the fellow members of the tour group were late in returning from a free period… don’t do that! … which messed up our final return drop off point. Sam went the extra mile to make sure we all knew where to go snd how to get back to our hotels. In addition he provided great commentary during the whole trip. All in all, an exotic and wonderful experience.

Amazing day and experience when in Bangkok! - We had a great day in total! Pick-up was easy and a big air-conditioned bus drove us to the train market which was an amazing experience. We saw the train twice and spent there around 45 minutes to stroll once back and down. The second stop, the floating market as well an amazing experience, we strolled around and then had a very relaxing boat ride included. The end point being at ICON Siam was actually really good, we explored a different area, went to Mil Toast House there and then took the boat back directly at the river. We had a great tour guide, Tammy was so knowledgeable, took care without rushing and told us funny additional stories about Thailand!

Nice trip but even greater Tour Operator and Tour Guide - Ok so we noticed we won't be on time on the airport if we do the full trip and organizers helped us a lot to finish all the attractions and be on the airport on time. Special thanks to Tammy, she is the best guide tour ever and helped us also a lot during a tour!

Haggle and float day out not to be missed - The trip to the train market & the floating market will stay with us for a long time. Our guide Kimmy was exceptional. The air con'd bus ride was and hour+ to the train but it flew past with his snippets of information & instructions about the market.... stand behind the red ine when the train is coming !!! Haggle !!!! etc. We had a fantastic time at the train market shopping - the best value of any place we've been in Thailand yet. The smells are a bit whiffy - lots of fish on sale - but the sights & sounds are mesmerising, and the sight of the train coming through was just incredible. I was expecting a small touristy train, it was a full sized train, the full width of the street, we had to step into one of the shops to save our toes! Then it was a short spin to the floating market. The market wasn't in full swing as it was midweek, but there was enough going on to get a sense of the spectacle. We had lunch there and for 150 thai bhat (€3) we had lunch for 2 with drinks, and it was delicious. It's a little expensive to shop there, but the haggle is great craic and sight has to be seen. Kimmy dropped us off at the ICON Siam shopping mall for the evening and that too was a sight to behold, the lights & music show on the fountains at 7pm was a terrific finish to an amazing day.

Convenient transportation to awesome attractions, boat ride was a rip off - Great value for the places visited. Nam our guide was friendly, funny and really great. Bus ride was comfortable though would have opted for a smaller group (we were 30). The train stop was awesome and scary at first, didn't realize how close you would get. the only reason this trip really missed expectations was for the floating market. I thought we would spend 30-45 minutes. Really it was 15minutes making 1 "block" around what was 1 market canal and 3 residential/undeveloped canals. Felt like a rip off (granted the boat is a 3rd party that was just hired for our group). We all got off asking "that's it?". Would recommend to the tour operator here to secure a better boat company for a full circuit of the floating market. We didn't even have a chance to buy anything as it was over before we knew it.

Not worth the long day - The tour guide was rude as hell before we even got on the bus, the bus itself was nice. The train market is pretty disgusting the smells are awful and it’s packed with tourists, not worth the drive in my opinion I wouldn’t recommend it. The floating markets were better a lot more chill and time to wander around before getting on the boat but the sellers there are extremely pushy to the point one woman was grabbing my arm in the store trying to force me not to leave and all the stores are selling the exact same things. Wouldn’t really recommend this tour
