This tour was fantastic! Henry was the BEST tour guide! He was kind, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire experience. We encountered some unexpected flooding in the area, but Henry handled the situation seamlessly and made sure we still had a wonderful time. Manny, our driver, was equally fantastic and did an excellent job navigating the roads. We couldn’t have asked for a better team! Highly recommend this tour!

Both the railway and the floating markets were incredible, certainly something you would never see at home. Enjoyed the experience immensely. Aff was the perfect guide. She found us a terrific viewing position for the train, found something we had been looking for and bought for us the best chicken curry puff we have ever eaten for a snack, along with different fruits to try. I would highly recommend this tour
Our tour guide Paul was fabulous. His command of English was impeccable. His knowledge of Thai history and culture was impressive. He also had a great sense of humour! He looked after us like we were VIPs . We were picked up and driven to the destinations in a very comfortable town car by our expert driver Maneesh. As for the tour, the Damnoen Saduk floating Market was interesting as the ride in the longboat offered a glimpse of the lifestyle of the locals living on the banks of the canals. I did not find the souvenirs overpriced as some people have complained. The Mae klong rail was a lot of fun! With very limited time in Bangkok, this tour provided some varied and interesting activities
Patrick did a fantastic job and we all had a wonderful time! I highly recommend this tour to everyone! We tried so many local treats that we would have never known about! My daughter is gluten free and Patrick went out of his way to find us options!
Excellent experience with our two small children thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice to discover new cultures traditions countryside and people. Thank you!
Paul was very knowledgeable & polite. Victor was a safe driver & the car was very comfortable. A really great experience thank you!
Had a great time. Would really recommend visiting the floating market and Maeklong Railway. We were a mixed aged family and we all enjoyed it. Get really close to the train and the boat ride is fun. Quality Thai Guide who looked after us were professional, fun and efficient. Thank you
This was the nicest trip we had ever made. It contained everything it said and it was very entertaining
We had a great time with our Quality Thai Guide on this tour and would highly recommend this activity! Everything was very well coordinated and both the railway and floating markets were very unique experiences. It was nice to leave the city and I felt like the items offered at the shop were quality made and unique. I hadn’t seen a lot of the items in the city at their markets. Every time we got back in the car they had fresh cold water and cold cloths for us, which is really nice when it’s as warm as it is outside. Our lunch was delicious and we also had coconut ice cream that was amazing. Loved everything about it.
Thank you Aey for making my parent’s first visit to Maeklong Railway and Floating Market unforgettable. Very informative and the food tasting along the way was a nice touch. Experiencing the place and the taste of Thai local food. Aey was very knowledgeable and attentive to us and parents’ needs. Highly recommending this tour.
An incredible day on The Private Excursion to the Maeklong Railway and Floating Markets. Our tour guide, Bakerie, was fantastic. Knowledgeable, punctual, reached out the day before the trip to confirm logistics and checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we were happy with the tour. The private tour was a bit more expensive but definitely worth it. We were comfortable and enjoyed the day as our own. Our driver, V, was excellent. He was safe, pleasant, and a very good driver in the crazy Bangkok traffic. I highly recommend this trip...be sure to ask for Bakerie and V, you will be glad you did.
I’ve done private tours all over the world, but Mr. Bakery was hands-down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. We booked a private tour with him to the famous Maeklong Railway Market and a floating market. He was extremely punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, and had the entire day perfectly planned out. Everything ran smoothly without a single hitch. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond — he took photos and videos for me to help create content, constantly checked to make sure I was comfortable, and made me feel like a local rather than just another tourist. His energy, professionalism, and attention to detail made the experience truly special. If you’re looking for a private tour guide in Bangkok or Thailand, I cannot recommend Mr. Bakery highly enough. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Book with confidence — you’re in great hands!
Nice to leave Bangkok and explore the Railroad & Floating Markets! Our guide and driver were exceptional.
One of the best tours I have had here in Thailand ! The guide & driver were excellent !! We would have really missed out on an awesome experience if we didn’t go !! Also tried some Thailand Foods which was a Plus !!
Great experience! Bakery was very nice and well informed. Explained both attractions and took pictures of us @ both locations. I stupidly did not press record at the railroad and missed getting the entire experience on video but luckily Bakery filed it and sent me his video.
It was the perfect amount of time to spend at all locations. They were super knowledgeable and coordinated everything so well! Our guide, Ney, and driver, Mario, were fabulous. We had ample time to explore the markets and try yummy foods. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an easy way to experience these great places!
We had a great time with Aye! Pick up was seamless in a very clean and comfortable large van. Aye was very clear on our planned itinerary. We had two young kids under 10 - one was very excited to see the railway and the other to see the floating market. Aye found us the perfect viewing spots and anticipated every need. She treated us to a few local specialty snacks. We knew the floating market was very touristy but it actually exceeded expectations - we enjoyed the boat ride and seeing the fruit trees. Aye adapted the journey for our two kids who are under 10. They had lots of fun but were exhausted by noon in the heat - Age was great about getting them cold snacks to keep them happy. Great experience.
Excellent from start to finish. Great to have hotel pick up in a city we didn’t know. Catty our guide very knowledgeable and fun! Front row seats to railway market and tour on river all well organised. Loved the visit to see the coconut sugar made the traditional way. And the food! Tasting delicious local delicacies - too much but yum. Thoroughly recommend!
Superb experience. Seamless pick up, fantastic guide, and great time! Highly recommend
Our family of five, including three teens, had a fun and interactive day on the Maeklong Railway and Floating Markets private tour. A private van met us at our Bangkok hotel and we had an easy transport to the Maeklong Railway. Our guide, Bakery, was both engaging and informative and tailored his conversation and information to our group of teenage boys. Bakery knew exactly where to take us along the route of the railway to watch the train pass through the market and provided refreshing smoothies in the hot weather. We also visited the floating markets and enjoyed lunch together before returning back to our hotel.
We had a great time on this tour. The driver and the guide were great. The timing and itinerary of the trip were perfect.
We had a great time at the floating markets with Peter. He was very informative and taught us about the railway market and floating market. He was also happy to take photos of my fiancé and me which made my fiancé happy. We saw some Komodo dragons at the floating markets too which was cool.
For a free day on a business trip with our party of 4, we booked the "Private Excursion to Maeklong Railway and Floating markets". Our guide, Aey, was awesome and spoke English very well. The extra cost of a private tour was totally worth it, as we had personized guidance the entire time and were able to easily stay together in our small group. Aey offered to buy us fruit, street food snacks, drinks, and desserts throughout the journey, to the point where we were never even hungry for a full lunch. We really enjoyed both markets, and Aey never rushed us at any time. Highly recommend!
Gwen our tour guide was top notch! She had a ton of experience with every aspect of the tour. All we had to do was enjoy and experience the tour
Our guide Aey was amazing. She really knew how to move us around and get us where we needed to be to see everything. Awesome!
Quite a fun trip. My guide Stephan did a great job leading me thru the excitement and chaos of the train market and floating market. He even added a detour to a nearby coconut plantation and factory. I recommend both the trip and Stephan.
We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Peter! He was incredibly informative and very patient, especially helping me with my elderly parents. He truly paid attention to every detail — from providing cool towelettes after a hot excursion to always having cold water ready in the van. Those thoughtful touches did not go unnoticed. Peter even remembered all seven of our names, which made the tour feel so personal and special. Our driver, Mario, was also excellent — a safe and smooth driver who got us everywhere comfortably and back safely. We’re so grateful to both of them for such a wonderful day!
Aey was a fantastic guide for our railway and floating market tour. Of our trip to Thailand so far, her English was the best. But additionally she was informative, friendly and thoughtful. We would highly recommend this tour with her.
Lovely guide and nice group with delicious food. Chinatown in Bangkok is a must to see and experience.
We had a great experience with the tour. It far exceeded our expectations. The guide was very informative, took us to nice areas to shop, explore, eat and see the rail market and the floating market. Take this tour, you won’t regret it. Highly recommend.
Excellent day out. Everything went very smoothly. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Drive was very good and had cold water at ready each time we got back in the vehicle. Great day out and would highly recommend this tour
It was perfect and well planned to a chaotic event. We were able to see the train in the front line to the point we could touch the train. The guide Johnny was great and navigated us through the crowds. And the driver Tony was made available as needed
This tour is fabulous and well worth the trip. Truly unique experience. Aey was a knowledgeable guide sharing the history of Thailand and the markets. She was absolutely delightful to spend the day with. Our driver, Mind, was infinitely patient with the horrendous traffic. I’d specifically ask for them in the future. They were that good.
Absolutely fabulous tour and well worth all the traffic to get to each location. Mind was an excellent driver. Our guide Aey was outstanding. She gave us wonderful background on the history of Thailand. Her English was excellent and she had a lovely sense of humor. She made the tour one to remember!
Great 1/2 day trip from Bangkok. Floating marketing are a rare view into ancient lifestyle. Railway just pur FUN
We loved our private tour of the railroad and floating markets with our tour guide, Pranee (“Nina”)! We were picked up in a comfortable, air-conditioned van and driven to the railroad market. We enjoyed trying new foods at the markets and learning from our guide about how the markets operate and about Thai culture. Nina was incredibly kind and took lots of photos of us along the way. Both the railway market and the floating markets were fascinating experiences. The round trip from our Bangkok hotel felt short thanks to the interesting scenery outside our windows and the opportunity to learn from Nina. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend booking with this company.
Johnny our guide and Manny our driver were great! Our excursion started at the train market and ended at the boat market with some delicious food. So much fun. We had a good time.
Johnny was amazing!! He guided us through the markets and experiences without ever feeling rushed. A perfect day trip from Bangkok
Fantastic Private Tour with Peter! We recently went on a private tour led by Peter, and couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful and attentive to all our needs. The tour was well-planned, allowing us to explore everything at a comfortable pace. Peter shared fascinating historical insights, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. His English was excellent, which made communication seamless. I highly recommend Peter as a tour guide for anyone looking to enhance their travel experience! Thank you, Peter, for a memorable day!
It was a very unique experience and our guide, AEY, was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and knew many of the people along our way which helped us to get into some of the best spots during the trip. She was very friendly and made sure we had the ability to try many of the different food items available. A favorite was the coconut ice cream bought on the river
The tour company was very professional we were kept informed and contacted prior to our trip. Due to unforeseen circumstances the start time of our trip changed but we were contacted the day before, also leaving a message confirming the change with our hotel was a nice touch. We were picked up from our hotel as agreed. Transport was conformable, driver was really good and looked after us throughout the journey. He was driving safely, providing cold towels and water after each activity. Our tour guide Tom was fantastic, she was very knowledgeable and provided us with so much information and useful tips. She knew the best place to be for when the train was coming and took a lot of photos for us. We recommend this trip.
Of all our tours in Bangkok, this was the best one! Our guide, Time, spoke great English and was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. There was also alot of food involved! From the best noodles we had to lots of fresh fruit to take home to BBQ on the street. We were also very up close to the train and I appreciate that the boat we used was electric so it was less noisy and less smoke than the usual boat engines. Our driver though he spoke little English was very warm and friendly. He made sure to get out of the car every time to open our doors for us. At the end of the tour, we received iced bottles of water and a cold towel! Definitely recommend both the experience and the service provided!
Our guide Time was the best ever, his English was excellent and he supplied us with local knowledge throughout the day. Time made the whole trip fun and guided us efficiently, but not rushed in any way. We stopped for refreshments along the trip, from local vendors and Time paid for everything, even the best market toilets. The Maekong railway was exciting and the boat ride along the canals relaxing in a quiet electric boat. There was no pressure to buy souvenirs from our guide Time, but it is worth buying something, just to try haggling skills! Sad to say Goodbye to our wonderful guide Time, who did not stop suppling us with information to make the rest of our holiday easier, right til the end. We were dropped off at our next tourist spot, rather than back at the hotel, so that was fab once again! Time bought my husband a lovely gift as it was his birthday 🎁 We loved our time spend together with Time 👍❤️
Sam—and my apologize for forgetting how to spell the driver’s name—were amazing as our tour guide and driver. They went above and beyond by taking me to a pharmacy so I could pick up allergy medication when my allergies started acting up. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Sam.
Fun and interesting visit to Railway, coconut plantation and floating makers. Our guide Army very nice and informative. Day was very busy with many tourists and a boat jam but overall a nice day
We recommend this tour from the bottom of our hearts. Our guide (Pranee Nina) and our driver Mr. O showed up just on time to pick us up from our hotel. The minibus was very clean and the drive to our destination felt very safe. Nina is very polite, charmful and informative. We first visited Maeklong Station, then the floating market. We recommend the early tour as traffic gets busier later in the day.
Very reliable service Ms Kim was a superb guide The Railway market is a trip- touristy but fun Floating market has lost its authenticity but still a fun day
We had an absolutely incredible experience on this tour! Everything was well-organized, timely, and filled with fascinating sights and authentic local experiences. What truly made the day unforgettable was our guide, Kris; warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the culture and history of the area.
Absolutely brilliant. Both markets were an incredible experience. Kris was amazing, kind and informative - he made the whole day extra special. Would highly recommend.
Thank you Mr Johnny and Mr Manny for creating forever memories. Five star service and experience from start to finish. 🙏
