The tour in general was good. Luckily we had read a little about the markets because the guide could understand little or no English. We were 5 people in a bus of 26 tourists who spoke English and the rest were Chinese, so the guide spoke mostly in Chinese and some stories in "English". This made us lose the thread. When we got to the floating market we were taken up with another guide who spoke less English but at least he was friendly. For the train market we followed him to the station and there he said that we had to wait for the train to arrive and took us to a juice shop (I guess of a relative), the idea was to see the train pass and the awnings close so we ignored it and went back to the market to live the experience. In the end the tour served as transportation and what could be improved is that if you select an English tour, it should be in English and not a sentence in another language.

It was impressive experience, well operated trip. However, boat to see firefly was boring because could not see much firefly. Also, time between seeing 2 trains passing by needs to fulfil by taking us to visit the temple nearby or surrounding area.
