Poppy was amazing! Super friendly and caring. Wonderful experiences the Railway and Floating markets. Thoroughly recommend this trip. Driver was fabulous too! Many thanks Mike
This trip was fantastic! Our tour guide Adam was nice and knowledgeable. He fed us history and information of attractions we visited and uses his magic to let us have the best experiences. The driver Pichet is so considerate. He prepped us cold water and cold towery on a hot day. we feel pampered!!! We had great time with them! Highly recommend this private tour and get full immersion in local culture ;)
What a wonderful experience arriving to the market on the train , the coconut farm was delightful and we loved our boat ride around the floating market, our guide Adam and driver Supat were excellent.
Good tour with a dedicated guide. Everything was organized and absolutely stress-free. We didn't have to worry about anything. I would definitely book the private tour again. With the large groups everything seemed hectic and disorganized.
Highly recommend floating market and railway market. Our guide Lin and Driver Kevin were experts, experienced and knowledgeable with very good English! They broadened our understanding and perspectives. Dai Lin made sure we had the best spots to enhance our experience and took a lot of photos for us.
Really placed an emphasis on showing us the surrounding areas making the entire experience much less “touristy”. We were able to experience the culture and the local communities.
One of the best tours ever! Our guide, Adam, made it perfect! The floating market was super cool. Adam was very informative and helpful
I highly recommend this tour because our guide Lin dedicated to make it an unforgettable experience. She volunteered to take photos and videos for us so that we could fully immerse ourselves in the train and boat rides. Lin even suggested unique poses to help us capture the local experience—something we would never have thought of on our own. Thanks to her, we now have beautiful pictures and videos that perfectly preserve those memorable moments we spent at the train market and floating markets. Additionally, our driver, Kevin was not only highly professional but also incredibly thoughtful: he ensured we had a safe and comfortable ride throughout the tour.
I booked this private tour to see the railway and railway markets at the last minute. Our guide, Adam, was terrific. He thoroughly, yet efficiently, guided us to see salt fields. From there, we hopped on a train to the railway market. Then, Adam took us to a place where palm sugar is made and, afterwards, to the floating markets and then lunch. Thank you, Adam and Thailand Insight Travel!
Poppy was an amazing tour guide. She was considerate and thoughtful, and made sure we tried all the local food. We would definitely take the tour again with Poppy! She is funny and kind!
Had an amazing time the Fmsily loved it very well recommend the boat ride was incredible something we definitely recommend and will come Back
Adam our guide met us at our hotel right on time with our driver Rock. Both were curteous and friendly. The day was as smooth as could be expected. We had enough time at each stop to enjoy the sights and stop when we desired. We also visited a coconut farm where we sampled fresh coconut juice and a variety of products made on sight. The people were very welcoming. We would reccomend Adam to anyone. He gladly answered many of our questions and was a pleasure to spend the day with.
Unique experience at the floating market and railway market. We had a great time with our tour guide Adam and driver Chet
Perfect. Well organized! Very interesting! The driver Suput and the guide Adam are great and very nice. We really enjoyed the tour, we recommend it
