It was a nice experience though the original itinerary was not followed, we weren't able to go to the restaurant to no power supply during our tour so we went back to Maeklong Railway to had our lunch there. But it was a nice and enjoyable experience. I want to commend our bus driver and our tour guide Ms. Evelyn, she was very knowledgeable and she even gave us tips especially before we reached the floating market. 😁

We enjoyed the trip a lot, our tour guide Mr Somchai (Sern) was helpful and fluent in Chinese and English. The itinerary was well arranged, and we were lucky to see fireflies too.

I had a great experience on the Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Train Market Tour with TripGuru. Our guide, Jack, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and well organized throughout the entire day. We left from Bangkok and traveled comfortably to the attractions. The Maeklong Railway Market was especially fun to experience in person, seeing the vendors quickly move everything as the train passed directly through the market. Amphawa Floating Market was also a great stop, with plenty to see, explore, and eat. Jack kept everything running smoothly, gave us helpful information about the places we visited, and made sure everyone knew where to go and when to meet back up. It was an easy and enjoyable way to visit both attractions without having to worry about transportation or planning everything ourselves.

Our tour guide, Chris, was incredibly enthusiastic and friendly. He provided detailed explanations at each attraction and even helped us take photos. The seafood at the self-funded lunch restaurant was quite delicious and very fresh! However, I'd suggest starting the tour a bit later. We had to wait 3.5 hours at the Amphawa Floating Market to see the fireflies, but the firefly tour itself was very relaxing. We got to see the stilt houses from the river, and it was very pleasant to feel the breeze while watching the fireflies! Overall, I still highly recommend it!

I booked this tour twice. First in 2023 with my husband, then in Aug 2026 with my mom. And like the first time, everything was well organized, and we had a great experience. Our driver and tour guide, Warin, was wonderful throughout the entire trip. He was very kind and informative. He shared interesting information about the places we visited and took very good care of us from start to finish. We appreciated his thoughtful touches, like providing free ice-cold water and lending us a hand fan because of the heat. Warin is also a great photographer! He took so many nice photos of us. Driver, tour guide, and photographer all in one! The itinerary was packed, but everything went smoothly. It was a great experience exploring attractions outside Bangkok. Special thanks to Warin for taking good care of us.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the tour with Nancy. She checked on us 30 mins before the tour started to make sure we found the meet up location. She was very funny and knew a lot of historical information about the places that we went to. She also often made sure that we had a lot of good photos, so we really appreciated that. She also went out of the way to make sure that we’re comfortable, even fitting in some breaks if needed. All-in-all, definitely worth the money and would book this again if we were to return in the future.

This itinerary, starting in the afternoon, is perfect for those who don't want to wake up early and prefer a more relaxed pace! I was so excited to see fireflies for the first time. I initially thought the floating market meant buying things from boats, but it turns out it's just for enjoying food there. Still, it was fine, and I would recommend it to friends!
