Outstanding Day Trip
Apr 2023 • Couples
A fantastic day trip. Communication was excellent and pick-up from hotel on time and seamless? Gwen (tour guide) was knowledgeable, communicated effectively and provided some wonderful experiences for us. Bung V (driver) made us feel extremely safe in the car on very busy roads. Both the Railway and Floating Markets were well worth the 1+ hour drive from the city centre. We were well looked after throughout the trip with some wonderful tasting experiences, plenty of cold water and cold towels on what was an extremely hot day. We would recommend this tour and Quality Thai Guide (Tour Company) to anyone looking for a unique and great experience when staying in Bangkok.

Private tour Railway and Floating markets
Apr 2023
We did this tour on our last day in Bangkok after 3 weeks traveling around Thailand. What a perfect way to end our trip. We looked at several group tours which were much cheaper but opted for this private tour and we were so glad we did. We watched hordes of other people being herded around on group tours and it didn’t look like much fun. We took a short ride on the train as it entered to market and then got off, walked the market a bit and watched as the train departed and the markets rolled back out. We had a private long tail boat to take us through the floating market; the pictures don’t do justice to the chaos! Pin was an amazing guide and knew all the best spots to take us to get the best views of the train and for delicious snacks the market. His English was great and we really enjoyed chatting with him about various aspects of life in Thailand. He was incredibly patient in answering all of our questions. He made our last day in Thailand wonderful. We would highly recommend this private tour, and Pin, to anyone.

Best Thai Tour!
What a wonderful tour! Peter and Chris took such great care of us. We requested to skip the railroad market, and so they added a coconut farm and temple tour in its place, along with the floating market. We started at the coconut farm/traditional Thai home where Peter showed us the process of coconut farming and how all the pieces are used. We tasted coconut sugar and had the best fresh coconut juice we’ve ever had! He then showed us around the Thai house and explained how people lived during the monsoon seasons. Next we went to the floating market which was mind blowing. So much great food and trinkets plus the beauty of the market and all the boats. Our last stop was to the Wat Bang Kung temple. The perfect way to end the tour with some spiritual centering and learning more Thai history. We highly recommend this tour and hopefully you’ll get Peter and Chris!

Bucket List Experience!
Apr 2023 • Family
It’s our first time in Thailand and I promise the entire day was amazing! From pick up to drop-off, Peter was, friendly, knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. There were quite a few small touches— water bottles, pomelo, apples, and banana chips to try, tissue and hand sanitizer for the toilet etc— that communicated care and attention to detail. (Peter also reminded us about pickpocketing and to check on our valuables periodically which I appreciated.) Walking through the Maeklong market was truly a sight to see and probably the closest you can get to a moving train and live to tell about it. Shopping for souvenirs and goods at the Floating Market and lunch (which was cheap and delicious) was a perfect wrap up to the experience. I would 10 out 10 recommend. No question about it.

Private VIP tour to Maeklong Station and Floating Market (Damneonsaduak)
My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a wonderful tour to Maeklong Station and the Floating Market (Damnoensaduak). What made this tour very special was the fact they we were teamed up with tour guide excellence Harry and driver Vichian. Nice car with AC, cold water, wash cloth at end of your, just well done.
Harry is a very knowledgeable and friendly person, appears to enjoy giving tours, and was very much interested in making sure we were comfortable and were enjoying our tour. We were VIP’s on this tour!
On the way to the Maeklong train station Harry showed us how they ‘harvest salt’ from the ocean. Next we arrived at the station, were treated to a tour to the terminal end and then had the pleasure of being put in a great spot to see the incoming train very close up, of course after also have been treated to a wonderful cold drink if our choice (VIP treatment!). After the seeing how the venders manage the incoming train, we went to the Floating Market, and after a cold water we were on a cool Jane’s Bond Boat on the canal going to the market. Wow, it was just great. We were treated to soup, sticky rice with mango, and even coconut ice cream. The tour was so informative, personal, educational, Harry is a great person to have as your tour guide. I very much recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour with Nok to the Railway and floating markets!
We had a wonderful time on this half day tour. The trip was very well planned so that we were not caught in the peak chaos of crowds. Our tour guide, Nok, was so pleasant, caring, and knowledgeable. Nok helped us take family pictures and introduced us to a variety of local foods. My main concern was that the journey would be difficult for my dad, who is unable to walk quickly or for far distances. She and the driver helped my dad in and out of the van, and Nok ensured everyone was comfortable. She is the kind of tour guide you want to have when going around Thailand - she never takes you to buy things (like some guides will for commission) and will help you or let you know a fair price if you want to buy something. She even gave recommendations for the rest of our trip. Thank you, Nok!

Our favourite day - A sightseeing and food tour combined in comfort!
Apr 2023 • Couples
Me and my partner did this tour the other day and it was by far our favourite day of our whole trip!! Our tour guide Time was so knowledgable and bought us so many local snacks and dishes along the way (which we loved as huge foodies)! Not only did he provide us with great facts and food but also amazing photos of us!

Our driver Mark was also amazing providing us with cooling towels and ice cold water bottles everytime we returned to the car!

It was so nice to be taken care of and shown around without having to worry about if we were going the right way, had found the right spots or were getting scammed!

Out favourite bit other than the amazing foods had to be the private long tail boat ride around the floating market… A truly amazing trip!! Thank you again!

Great Experience!
My husband and I had a great time with Knock. She secured front row space for us to view the train entrance at the Maeklong train market, took us to a coconut farm, and the floating markets. She was happy to take as many pictures of us as we wanted and was very accommodating. I definitely recommend this tour

Great personalised tour with Harry!
We were accompanied on our trip to the floating market and train market by our private tourguide Harry. Through his joyful character we learned alot about the Thai culture and our trip destinations. He made sure that our family had a great time and showed us interesting hidden gems of the markets thanks to his connections all around. We can recommend his private tour guide to anyone who wants a personalised and fun trip.
