It started at 7am, Kat called us the night before to remind us and pick us up at the hotel. She is awesome and flexible , she will tell you what the day itinerary and you can adjust add and delete places that don’t fit your family, especially the irritable teenager with heat and humid lol we had an awesome time with Kat and Mr. Nang the driver! Thank you Kat!

Train / floating markets and temples Bangkok
We were guided by the wonderful Kertala (Kat) who met us in reception of our hotel. We very quickly decided to add in the Train Market and leave out one of the temples. What a great decision that was. The train market was an experience and Kat’s timings were perfect - saw the train arrive, wandered through the market and the watched the train leave. Next was the floating market where we took a ride in a long tail boat to the market, great fun and interesting to see how the local people live next to the water, We had a stroll round the market and picked up a few souvenirs. Then had lunch, again Kat knew exactly where to go and wow was the food good. Please note the journey to the markets and back to Bangkok is about 90 mins each way. Then we saw two temples The reclining Buddha and the solid gold Buddha in China Town, This was a 10/10 tour and both slat and our driver were faultless.

Great trip!
May is a great guide! She’s packed with knowledge and made our trip very interesting. She also adjusted the trip as we went, based on our preferences, which was very appreciated. This trip was the highlight of our visit to Bangkok. Thanks May!

Excellent tour - worth the money
This is an all day excursion. We were very tired by the end of the day (even napped in the van during transit a little bit), but it was well worth it as we felt like we got to see so many fascinating sites. Our tour guide was fantastic and our driver took good care of us and always made sure we had a cool van with cold waters.

Disappointing
We felt coerced into changing the itinerary by substituting a temple tour for the railway market which we did not enjoy at all!! Ultimately it was our decision to make, but the guide made us feel like the temple tours should not have been our highlight. He basically said all tourists want to do is visit temples. Whilst I understand he was considering the heat and the fact that my mum was elderly, it did not create the best impression from the onset. Our other tours felt very warm, welcoming and enthusiastic whereas with this one, we received the bare minimum. Very sad, as we ended up visiting those temples with another tour which went above and beyond to accommodate us, especially our request to receive a blessing from monks. If you choose this tour, be firm in sticking with the itinerary. I regret not pushing back. Further, the railway market which was substituted offered us nothing. Other tour groups allowed participants to go on the train. Again, we received the bare minimum of standing in a hot market with unpleasant smells just to record the train passing through. It was not worth the itinerary change.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $2600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bangkok City Temples start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
