“Great experience visiting the Railway Market and the Floating Market. Real fun and excitement as the train arrives at the market, hundreds waving and taking photo's. You spend approx 45 mins walking through the market and then watch the train drive back through the market. Good fun on motor boat driving through canal streets of the Floating Market, not much opportunity to buy anything. Our tour guide Jim had everything well organised. Its a long journey there but broken up with a stop at the Salt plains and Coconut Sugar Farm. Definitely worth a trip there.”
