Amphawa Boat Ride & Railway Market: Multi-lang Private Tour

This tour provided a unique and captivating perspective, offering tremendous value for the money. The guide, Pen, demonstrated exceptional attention to detail in crafting the itinerary, creating an experience that felt more akin to embarking on a journey with a close friend than a typical group excursion. The carefully curated activities and immersive cultural encounters allowed me to peel back the familiar veneer of Thailand's tourist hubs, revealing a fascinating and multifaceted destination that defied my preconceptions. Pen's warm hospitality, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for sharing her homeland's hidden gems transformed what could have been a generic sightseeing trip into a truly memorable and enriching adventure. I left Thailand with a profound appreciation for the country's vibrant traditions, breathtaking natural beauty, and the welcoming spirit of its people - an experience that far exceeded my expectations and delivered exceptional value.

Lin, the tour guide, and Kevin, the driver, took me and my husband took a wonderful private long tour. They were both wonderful; polite, informative and willing to work with our disabilities. We saw so much! Lin’s English was clear and she has a very good command of the language. Definitely recommend!

I went with our guide Lin and driver Mr Kevin. I enjoyed it a lot. We were able to make the whole programme, ending with a one hour boat tour to watch the fireflies. I do recomend it.

Lin was amazing and so was Ole! They were so kind and welcoming and sweet and I really appreciated them giving me a wonderful private tour. The floating market was great and the food was amazing!

Lin was great! She made our first family trip very memorable.. this is my wife and I second time doing this trip with her. I highly recommend her!

Lin and Kevin (driver) was an amazing tour guide. She was not only a tour guide but also a photographer! She over exceeded our expectations! She went above and beyond with explaining details and also taking her time with making sure we were all taken care of. Thank you lin for this amazing experience

Lin and Kevin were our tour guides and they were amazing! Very accommodating and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend

Lin is an amazing and super sweet guide! She is very knowledgeable and gave very good insight on what to do. She’s also an amazing photographer!

Unforgettable trip thanks to Lin who was a wonderful guide, caring, flexible, and taught us a lot about Bangkok and its history. She added several special touches to our itinerary. We highly recommend her to anyone going through the city.

Nina was an excellent guide, she was very accomodating of our interests. She was friendly and fun! Highly recommend

One of the highlights of our family trip! Our guide Ice was wonderful. He gave interesting insights about each location and answered all our questions about Thailand's history and modern life as well as provided insider tips on shopping and other destinations we should visit. He also treated us to some of the best Thai snacks, as well as recommended a really good restaurant for dinner and taught us how to eat fish the Thai way. The most magical moment was getting up close with the fireflies! We were lucky that it never rained during our trip, so they were abundant. I will say that I wish the tour has an earlier optional start time, so we could have more time in each location. Although Ice arrived perfectly on time and never made us feel rushed. Overall, I definitely recommend this tour!

The tour company was very flexible regarding our requests. Our tour guide Pop was very knowledgeable and welcoming. She went out of her way getting us on the train ride at the railway market and finding us fireflies(we saw so many of them!). She also introduced us to a lot of delicious Thai snacks, which we couldn’t have found if by ourselves. Pop is very considerate and responsible, from reaching out a day before to say hello to dropping us off right in front of the message place we were going to next. Overall, it was an amazing tour and we had fun!

Did a lot in one day! Of all the days in Thailand this one was definitely one of the best! Going to Erowan waterfall was the best part

We had the tour on 01-Sep-23. Despite booking it the last minute, the confirmation was instant. We had a lovely tour guide Pop who was always happy to assist, our bubbly driver Samran, as well as boat man Wat who brought us to the perfect spot to see and interact with the fireflies! One thing to consider, Maeklong railway market is busier in the morning. Most stalls were closed by the time we got there at half past four (last train is at 5.40). If you want to see all the action, book a morning tour. Personally, a Friday night visit to the Amphawa market is perfect because there are not as many people. It’s only open Friday to Sunday. Had some delish local food there for dinner before heading back to Bangkok. We learned that the best season for fireflies are during rainy season. We were lucky as it just rained and the trees lit up like Christmas trees that night! I have never seen that many fireflies. Lots of them came to us to say hi. Such a fun experience.

It was a wonderful experience throughout. The temple, railway market, and firefly boat ride were all enjoyable and nicely timed. Our tour guide, Ice, is very friendly and answered all our questions happily. Even my 5 year old daughter was comfortable chatting with him and asking him questions about Thailand and the tour sites. He went above and beyond to introduce us to local snacks at the sites, and even got me a surprise birthday fruit cake when he found out that it was my birthday. He truly made the experience very memorable. Water and hand wipes were provided to help us feel comfortable and refreshed. We are truly happy with the experience and will definitely recommend to our friends and family. Thanks again and wishing you the best!

The whole was fabulous Pop our tour guide and Smith our driver were friendly helpful and made our day’s outing excellent. Really a trip worth doing!!

Lin was the best I would recommend her to everyone. She made my birthday so special! Lin made sure we did everything and more. Very accommodating and nice.

Our amazing guide Lin showed us around shops/food in the floating and train markets. She was very polite and knows the markets very well. It was by all means a once in a lifetime experience and included all what was in the itinerary. The perfect trip for our honeymoon.

Lin was amazing she made the trip worthy by her good relations with everyone and amazing recommendations to buy and navigate our way 🙏🏻 I am so happy we went and explored Bangkok this way and lived the Thai experience ♥️

Our guide Lin and driver Ole did an excellent job. The tour started early (6:30am) to avoid the traffic and heat. Lin showed us the area around the train and floating markets, on the way we made a short stop at a salt field and a coconut farm. We learned about the history of the markets and about the houses built on the canals. We enjoyed the colorful markets even though most of the stands were selling touristy articles. The best were the fruit, vegetables and food boats since they seemed the most authentic ones. The train ride was old school and fun and the breeze gave us some energy for later. Thank you, Lin and Ole for the great experience!

Lin was a great and enthusiastic guide! Ole the driver got us safely to and from each destination in an air conditioned van. We were 9 people in the tour group. My favorite part was eating noodles after the floating market tour!

We had an AMAZING time at the train and floating market tour. It is a very well organized tour and we got to see many incredible things and eat a lot of delicious food. Lin was an amazing tour guide! And Driver Ole was a great driver! Thank you to Lin for treating us so well.

LIN WAS amazing. She was so kind and smart. Her trip was not only fun also educational. Thakd Lin BY THE WAY noodle was yummy. COCONUT sugar was so sweet. Floating Market was nice. 린은 정말친절하고 도움이 많이됩니다 아이들도 좋아하고요 프로그램이 알차고 재밌습니다 많은 문화를 배워갑니다 고마워요

We thoroughly enjoyed every single moment of the trip! Our tour guide chaiya took extreme good care of us! It was our 1st in everything, and he explained it to us as best as he could and share many of his experiences with us too

Lin was very informative and made the trip fun. She checked in on everyone to make sure they had what they needed. Would definitely recommend this tour and guide!

Had an amazing time today on our trip with Lin! Whole family enjoyed it all! Favourite part was the long boats speeding through the water like in a movie. Would highly recommend this trip. Lin was very informative, friendly and caring at all times of the trip. Prior to going on the the trip I was kept well informed of the pick up and what we’d be doing.

Lin is awesome! We thoroughly enjoyed her company. She guided us to the train market, floating market, coconut farm and salt farm. She is meticulous, courteous, and funny! Highly recommend!

Floating market was unique and relaxing despite the heat. Getting a view of the salt farms was also very novel. Chaya was a great guide, considerate and insightful

We really enjoy the tours, thank you so much for taking time and the details information, will definitely do it again next time we visit Bangkok.

We were two female travellers just wanting to see as many sights as possible in one morning. We had a fab time with a really great guide. So much fun and no issues at all.

A surprising and amazing experience with Mr Chaiya (the guide) and Mr Tu (the driver). Since the moment that they took us from the hotel Chaiya started to tell all the history about the culture, the market, the city , the country and many other things. His willingness to provide a nice experience is impressing. I’m very grateful to have this with him because he could make me feel comfortable without take any advantage of us . On the contrary, his hospitality made me admire more and more the Thai people. Thanks Mrs Chaiya and Tu for everything. I recommend like a must go day tour Best wishes for them

This experience was amazing! The train and floating markets are so unique and hard to get to so having a tour guide there to help is great! Lin was a great guide and brought us through some really cool spots. Couldn’t recommend it more.

This tour was a great experience led by an excellent guide. We were able to hear some of the history of the train and floating markets, and our guide introduced us to some spectacular noodles.

Very good guide, friendly too. I enjoyed my time here and very good experience too at museums and river.

Our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. This is definitely something every tourist must do when visiting Thailand. Very unique experience as someone who lives in the US.

The favourite part of the tour was travelling to the markets and going on the boat ride through the floating markets. Great travel guide, will recommend!

Excellent tour of the famous floating market and the train market. Our tour guide was very kind and helped carry some of our baby supplies. We felt vary safe and comfortable in their van. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

The tour was amazing, really showed an insight to the cultural life. We were picked up on time and Our tour guide Angpao was lovely, made us feel very welcome and even took plenty of photos for us! Highly recommend.
