Siri was great and gave us a great tour
But the tour I paid for included a ride on the train but it never happened which was a massive disappoint so be careful when booking

Our guide was excellent. We learned a great deal of history on this tour which covered comprehensively the story of the abused prisoners of WWII who were worked to death building the rail lines and the bridge over the river Kwai. The two museums and the cemetery are well-worth the price of admission.
An added attraction was the sound and light show at night. Our guide seemed to enjoy it as much as we did.

A very good day trip to an interesting historical place. After an early morning pick up from my hotel we proceeded to Kanchanaburi for a day that included two museums, POW cemetery, longtail boat ride downriver and a very fast return trip back up river to a great buffet lunch before a visit and crossing of the bridge itself. The driver was good and the guideAya was excellent and she provided a very good tour.

We had the best experience on this tour ,Aey our guide was helpful and ensured that we included the train trip on the Burma railway.
As it was a very hot day we found the air conditioned car very comfortable and the driver drove safely knowing exactly how to access the best route to our destination.
Aey was friendly and handled all the logistics expertly and we created a memorable day adjusting the program to suit the heat and what we expected to do.
The railway trip went through some beautiful countryside and it was a pleasure to get away from the cities to catc up with some history.
The museum was well worth seeing and well maintained to create a lasting memory of a dreadful time in history with full respect to those involved.
Well done Aey and our drive
Thank you
Pauline
