Great, got a phone call the night before to inform us of pick up time and arrived on time and was very professional. Great time.

Awesome trip, definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to go to Thailand. Our guide was very friendly and always smiling. We left really early which was good, because it gets really busy during the day.

We did the half day and it was fantastic. The long tail speed boat was such a blast. Our guide was really enthusiastic and informative. He gave us a great history lesson of past and present day Thailand. The floating market is not to be missed.

The guide was great and gave us lots of information. This is the second time I've taken this tour and this time was as good as the first time. It is definitely organised for the tourist but saying that it was still fun. Make sure you try the deep fried bananas. YUM!

I am no stranger to Thailand, but had never done this. Our guide was WONDERFUL, spoke very good English and shared so many facts about the life of Thai people along the way. The boat trip to the market was so serene. A little more time at the market would have been nice. Sure it is a tourist attraction, but if it wasn't worth doing it wouldn't be! Be sure to buy some fresh produce from the boats so they will continue to make the journey to the market to amaze us. Don't forget your camera! This was my fifth trip to Thailand this year and it still amazes me! There is so much to see along the way to and from the market.

You'll find different things here, real Thai food, Buddha statues, clothes, etc. If you go to Bangkok you have to go to a floating market. This is one of the most important, it's far from Bangkok but you'll have fun.

This was a very interesting tour and our guide was very good! If you're in the area you should definitely try to see the floating market. Watch out for the Tiger Balm vendors!

Kinda touristy, but worth it. Unlike anything I've experienced before.

I went on this trip with my girlfriend. The trip is quite good. The floating market is actually a man-made canal. It is located outside of Bangkok actually. The journey to Floating Market from Bangkok is more than 1 hour. The tour agency prepared the transportation and picked us up from our hotel at 6 a.m. The tour guide spoke very good English and was quite a funny guy. Before we went to the Floating Market, they took us to a souvenir shop that sold souvenirs made from coconut trees. After that, we went to the Floating Market by speed boat. The speed boat ride is fantastic. We saw some houses on the canal and markets. After 15 minutes, we reached the Floating Market. We could choose to rent a 'sampan' to cruise along the floating market. Some of the stall owners will pull your sampan to their stalls so you can see their products. The prices were quite expensive, so we needed to bargain. Bargaining is the way to buy things there. There were food stalls too that sell local foods like tom yum, mango rice, pancakes and much more. We had our lunch there. After about 2 hours there, it was time to go back. On the way back, we stopped at a Wood Carving factory, where we saw some wood carving masterpieces from the some of the best wood carving artists in Thailand. After that, we went back to the hotel. We reached the hotel around 1 p.m.
