Traveller reviews
What a wonderful day we had with Paula for our visit to kanchaburi and the waterfalls. Paula is such fun and went over and above to make sure we enjoyed our day. Her knowledge of the war and the bridge over the river kwai really brought history to life. Thank you Paula- see you next year!
If you enjoy waterfalls and greenery, this tour is perfect. Erawan Waterfall is incredibly beautiful and very clean. The boat ride was smooth and relaxing, with lovely views along the river. Our guide made sure we were comfortable the whole time.
100% recommend booking this. Annie is a legend! She tailored the day for our family, pacing the hike and encouraging the kids in the emerald pools. They loved the natural fish spa. The private transport was a lifesaver with tired kids at the end. The included lunch was great, and the entrance fees were all taken care of. Felt like a VIP experience the whole time.
A long but unforgettable journey. We left Bangkok very early but napped in the comfy van. Tina was a fantastic guide, full of knowledge about WWII history at the sites. The highlight was swimming in the stunning turquoise ponds and hiking to the quieter upper falls. Having a private guide and driver made the long trip smooth and stress-free. Bring good water shoes and swimwear!
"An incredible day from start to finish. Our guide Da was fantastic, knowledgeable, caring, and very organized. Erawan Waterfall was breathtaking, and the visits to the River Kwai Bridge and the World War II Cemetery provided deep historical insight. The car was very comfortable with excellent air-conditioning, and we were always given cold drinking water, which made the day even more enjoyable. The boat ride was a wonderful way to appreciate the natural beauty of the area. Overall, a 5-star experience in every way.
Amazing tour! Our guide Tina was friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. Erawan Waterfall was stunning, the Bridge over the River Kwai was full of history, and the War Cemetery was very moving. The boat ride was a great addition. Highly recommended!
This was one of the best tours we’ve taken. Our guide Annie was excellent, warm, engaging, and always making sure we were comfortable. Erawan Waterfall was stunning, and we loved swimming in the clear water. The historical stops, including the River Kwai Bridge and the War Cemetery, were very meaningful, and Annie gave us insightful background information. The boat ride was relaxing and a beautiful way to experience the river. Overall, an amazing trip with an outstanding guide!
The tour explanation says ""Like No One Else"" while I can't say I have tried all other tours, I think there is some truth in that. As, when we got to the waterfalls, most people stopped at the first location, our guide Da kept on going and took us to a location with less people and more private. Swimming next to waterfall was awesome fun, something I recommend for everyone, we definitely worked up and appetite and a awesome Thai lunch was delicious too!
