Excpetional Learning Experience

Published on Aug, 2024

Our guide Benjamat was top shelf. She has forgotten more about the history and region than most will know. Highly recommended.

Historical tour

Published on Dec, 2018

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.

We had the best experience on this...

Published on Jan, 2018

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
