Floating and Train Market Tours
We had a great day with our guide Kit and his driver. Kit is very knowledgeable and informative. He took us to a great place for lunch. Train and Floating Markets are must see places when visiting Bangkok, and this was a great tour of them. Definitely recommended.

Great experience, memorable time! Excellent private tour
Ketsiree was a lovely tour guide. She did everything she could to ensure we had an enjoyable and memorable day. She took great care of my 88 year old dad and allowed us to go at our own pace, we saw the highlights and felt we got to see everything we wanted to. She was polite, professional and friendly.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that Ketsiree made your day enjoyable and memorable, especially taking such wonderful care of your 88-year-old dad. It’s great that she was able to tailor the tour to your pace while covering all the highlights you wanted to see. We truly appreciate your kind words about her professionalism and friendliness!

Some companies are better than others!
This was an outstanding day out without a single hassle or worry. Our guide Miss Ketsiree was well spoken and informative and seemed to have an inside person at each stop that allowed us to be in the best position for great photos without any waits. Seeing everyone scrambling for good photo locations, we realized how well planned our trip was. We had prime spots at both locations. This was an added tour which turned out to be one of the best Bangkok tours. Tour was completely inclusive (except souvenirs) and the guide treated us to local treats to bring home. She provided us with fascinating insight into the different locales along the way. I would definitely recommend this tour company in particular to anyone that wants individual attention without any waits, hassles, tolls, fees, or any worries. Just show up and enjoy the rich culture.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a smooth and enjoyable day, and that Miss Ketsiree made the tour extra special with her knowledge and attention to detail. It’s fantastic to know you appreciated the well-planned stops and the prime photo spots. We’re glad you felt well taken care of, from the local treats to the fascinating insights along the way. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re so happy you had a memorable time exploring Bangkok. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon! 😊

Great tour, would go again
Great tour. The guide is knowledgeable and friendly, the driver was professional, and the places we went to were fun and interesting. The entire time the guide made sure we were happy and translated for us in situations when we needed it. They also adjusted the tour to spend more time at the places we care about more (floating and railway markets), and less at the ones we didn't care about as much (the temples). Overall we were very happy with the experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience. It's wonderful that the guide was able to tailor the tour to your preferences and ensure you got the most out of the places that interested you most, like the floating and railway markets. We're glad you felt well taken care of throughout the day, with the guide being attentive and helpful when needed. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we’re so happy you enjoyed the tour. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future! 😊

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Private Tour: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok 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: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok?
+
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: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok 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: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok?
+
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: Floating Market and Maeklong Tour from Bangkok 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.
