Very organised tour great destination and Rach was an excellent tour guide organising our entire day. Train ride was really good. The only negative was the 5 hour bus trip home due to Bangkok horrendous traffic

Fantastic tour. Rach our tour guide was informative, friendly and very professional. He ensured we all had an enjoyable experience. Definitely go on the long-tail boat. The views from the train and lunch were amazing. Thanks Rach for an enjoyable day.

I thought the tour was very well-organised from start to end. They got in touch with me the day before to inform me about the pickup point. Instructions were clear. Our guide Rach was fantastic - so knowledgeable about the various places, so attentive to all of us, and also so proactive in helping us take photos. The group was not too big - just 5 in total, and I understand that the guide and the driver do not have certainty in terms of the jobs that they are assigned. I really think this tour ought to be known by a lot more people. Perfect if you’re looking for a day trip outside busy busy Bangkok. Just one thing to note: this package doesn’t include the cost for the longtail boat ride as well as the tourist cabin for the train ride. But the guide will ask if you would like to join these.

We stayed here as a family of four. They were very kind from the time we checked in, and helped us with everything from our children to our luggage. We also had some issues, but they dealt with them quickly. The breakfast was delicious and in a peaceful location. The rooms were clean, and we would like to stay here again.

The guide was very friendly and we had a great time. Lunch was a buffet at a place along the river where you can see the Death Railway! I was happy that we could drink alcohol. Please note that it costs an additional 500 baht to ride the boat and train. Personally, I think it's well worth the experience!
