Enjoy a boat ride on a small long boat through the market as you see local vendors paddle their boats to sell things along the canals.

Whilst we enjoyed our day very much seeing most of what we wanted, we felt that this tour was considerably over-priced, particularly when compared to a full day tour to Ayutthaya the previous day at less than a third of the price. Whilst our guide was quite informative, we felt that we were being rushed around the main tour points, particularly given the importance of the Reclining Budha and Wat Arun. With this in mind, the visit to the Coconut Farm was both irrelevant and unnecessary, which would have afforded more time to spend at the 2 aforementioned places. Consequently, and as mentioned, our guide provided good information but seemed to be against "the clock" with our not being able to fully take-in the splendour of bot the Reclining Budha and Wat Arun. Perhaps to alleviate this in future tours, visits to places such as the Coconut Farm should be removed from the itinery so that more time can be devoted to the real places of interest on the tour and allow the Guide to "shine" more

Our tour guide, Lynn, was great! She was very knowledgeable and friendly and took plenty of pictures and videos of us throughout the trip. The trip itself was set at a good pace and it definitely helped having Lynn to navigate and take care of everything at each venue, but we also got time to explore things on our own and at our own pace. Each location was fantastic to see and well worth it. The food was also amazing (we had noddles at a food market near to the hospital university). I’d highly recommend this experience and thanks again Lynn!

The tour was a great experience. Pat, our guide, was wonderful. He was thorough in explaining temple history. He also made the railroad and water market a fun experience. He took time to take very beautiful pictures of us. Early on in the tour, Pat learned that I like mango fruit. So he treated us with mango desserts as the day went on. It was a very sweet gesture. We stopped off for lunch and had a nice conversation as we ate and relaxed for a bit. Be ready for a long and tiring day, lots of walking, but lots of fun. Great way to see a little bit of everything in one day.
