On time, and we had enough time to roam around the area plus there were alot of “free” drinks in the cafes. Our guide is TOM CRUISE — he was entertaining and offerred insights of different places. For the train, once you see an available spot in cafes position yourself already as it gets crowded, really crowded. Floating market is also too busy and crowded, with lots of smoke from different boats so be prepared. We love the coconut ice cream there so you might as well try :)

The tour guide Charlie was very friendly, the car was comfortable, we signed documents and took photos before departure, the company provided one-day tour insurance, the tour guide carried out the activities according to the itinerary, and after the activity, the tour guide said he needed to take us to the designated disbanding point and take photos before finishing his work. I felt safe and secure!

Thanks to our tour guide Pani for taking care of us along the way. He not only helped us take beautiful photos but also helped us find the toilet. The Railway Market is really unique. If you see something you like, I suggest you compare prices as the prices can differ by more than half. When a train is approaching, you must find a good seat as soon as possible, otherwise you will be squeezed into a place where you cannot see the train up close. In Damnoen Saduak, we took a boat trip to experience the floating market. The things were quite expensive so we didn't buy anything. The Phra Pathom Pagoda is very spectacular and awe-inspiring. The two cafes in the afternoon are both good places for taking photos. One is fun for boating, and the other has a beautiful pool. Both tour guides treated us to drinks for 100 baht. It's a good option if you don't want to spend time planning your transportation.

Had an awesome time on this tour! The cafes and temples we visited were all a sight to see. The cafes were all instagram-worthy indeed and their food are all delicious. The majestic temples also gave us a real feel for the region's culture. What made the tour even more fun for us was our driver. He was super friendly, funny, and kind, making sure we were taken care of the whole day. He was always ready to help and kept things light and fun, which made the whole tour that much more enjoyable. The whole experience was smooth, enjoyable, and filled with great moments. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore unique local culture, food, and beautiful sights.

I tried to use Grab or Bolt, but I couldn't get a car, and the Grab I had made a reservation for with difficulty said that there was a lot of traffic and that the car would be empty when I left, so I cancelled it because they said they would wait and that I should do a round trip for 2,000 baht, and chose a guided tour on Klook. As a result, it was the best choice and cost-effectiveness. I comfortably visited three cool cafes with slightly different atmospheres while listening to the guide's explanations. I highly recommend a guided tour rather than struggling to get around with the driver by Grab. Thank you, Kiki, for taking our pictures.

It was really great to have a private car to go to three different internet celebrity cafes at once, each with different scenery to take pictures of. The tour guide Kiki is excellent and pays attention to the needs of each member. I highly recommend it.

I will go to 3 Internet-beautiful restaurants. Thanks to the tour guide Two for his thoughtful reminder. He will add everyone's line and write down what she said on the line, which is very suitable for my poor English. Each restaurant has its own characteristics. There is a traditional market next to the temple where you can visit and buy local fruits and snacks. The prices are really cheap! Highly recommended, I will still buy Klook itinerary next time I go abroad!
