    Our guide, Ying, was friendly and knowledgeable, the boat ride to the floating markets was a lot of fun, and there were lots of great food and shopping options at both the floating market and railway market. Highly recommended!

    The activity is far too long to see two markets... The "floating" market is a waterside market, not a market on the water. The photos on the site are misleading; there are no traders on the water. Finally, the boat tour is boring and interminable....... I do not recommend this activity
