Long way to travel in one day but worth it.

The tour was worth doing - geared to the tourist of course. The boat rides were fun and the lunch was very tasty. You don't need to be interested in the historical significance to take the tour.

If you have limited time in Bangkok this tour is a great day out. The floating markets are a bit commercial but if you use your imagination you do get a sense of what canal life was like in the past. The tour of the furniture carving factory is well worth it and the bridge tour is worth the drive. Lunch on the river provided nice views of the river but we could have done without the poor to mediocre food. The guide was well informed and provided some needed comic relief on the drive.

The guide was an extremely knowledgeable elderly gentleman. He was so experienced and motivated that now we could almost write a thesis about Thailand and its history. He was worth the trip by himself. The bridge on the River Kwai was a brilliant experience. Of course, the floating market is something worth experiencing.

This tour is definitely worth doing. The tour guide was a very nice, very keen person. There were several sightseeings, adventures, natural landscapes, and visits. This is the tour I liked the most and would most recommend.

It was a fabulous experience, would thoroughly encourage it!! However the buses could do with an update, better air-con needed in that climate, and a few repairs would help!

From start to finish it was full of information. It was a really long day and we saw lots, but it was worth it. The information from your guide was spot on.

Everything went to plan. Floating market was fascinating. Bridge over River Kwai and countryside was very interesting.

The boat rides both on the way to the floating market and on the River Kwai were really good. Overall not a bad day out, though the floating market itself was a bit of a let down.

The floating market is a must see for anyone visiting Bangkok. The River Kwai was also very interesting but was about 3 hours outside of the city, so it involved a long drive. We were dropped off at the Kwai Museum and then at the bridge, then the cemetary, each time being told where to meet the guide. She did not escort us and give much information. All in all though, I wouldn't have wanted to drive this distance so it was still worthwhile. We had a lot of fun at the floating market.

A long day trip from Bangkok, picked up at 6.10am back at 8pm although Bangkok traffic was responsible for 2 hours of this, the only gripe is stopping at a couple of places under a fairly lame reason i.e how to make suger from coconuts which took 2 minutes to explain and then you are directed to a shop which happens to be next door and are followed around by assistants pestering you to buy i only want to see what i have booked not go shopping. the longboat trip to the floating market was the best part.

Peter was our guide and Mr Pom Pom our driver., only 4 of us on the tour. Peter was very good at his job and well spoken. The floating market was interesting and the War Memorial was beautiful, would have liked more time at the memorial however. As for the bridge however NOT worth it, there is nothing to show you what it is it's simply a bridge with some horrible tacky train going over it. The rest of the area is a tourist trap / market,. In a word TACKY. No respect what so ever to the lives lost you could have simply been anywhere in Thailand with a black bridge over a river. The trip also seemed to be more about the "side trips" we called Peter the walking ATM as he just kept getting money. We refused a couple of side trips in the end. A long journey to be very disappointed unfortunately.
