"Ich habe kürzlich an der Tour zum Schwimmenden Markt von Damnoen Saduak und zum Eisenbahnmarkt von Mae Klong mit Oriental Escape teilgenommen, und ich muss sagen, es war absolut bezaubernd. Die Tour war nicht nur unterhaltsam, sondern der Service war außergewöhnlich. Die Abstimmung war nahtlos, sodass wir uns voll und ganz in das lebendige Treiben der Märkte eintauchen konnten, ohne jegliche Unannehmlichkeiten. Unsere Reiseleiter waren sachkundig und gingen aus dem Weg, um sicherzustellen, dass wir eine unvergessliche Erfahrung hatten.

"My mom and I had the best day ever with Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Belt. They gave us a first class and memorable experience where we felt very taken care of! Mr. Rabbit is so talented, knowledgeable, warm, and genuine, as well as an amazing photographer. He is truly an exceptional guide and an amazing person; we felt like we were out touring with an old friend! Mr. Belt was a very kind and skilled driver. He always helped us in and out of the van and supplied us with cold drinks and towels throughout the day. If we can someday return to Thailand, we would love to book another tour with them both! "
