this was a fantastic historical trip we done the bridge the museum hell fire pass and train ride and to add a few extras the fantastic guides took us to tiger temple and the fish farm fantastic 2 days. the guides were outstanding from knowledge to making it a all round great trip the lodge we stayed in was spot on lovely rooms great food and amazing staff would highly reccomend this trip and the guides just fantastic

The Company “Amazing Asia Tours” were wonderful. Our tour guide“A” was very knowledgeable. He stayed with us all the time, showing the history of River Kwai and Hellfire Pass. The whole tour was very thought provoking. One should read and watch articles of Hellfire Pass and the Japanese interment camps, to get the full scope of the tour. The visit to the Don Rak War Cemetery in Kanchanaburi is a place of reflection of the sacrifices, of those who were there. Places you will see and experience are gently placed into the tour, that only you can make judgment of those terrible years of the war. We were cared for, well fed and watered. And the driver “Gulf” was very knowledgeable of the area with safety in mind. The large Van was new and very clean. Thank you again.

What a great experience, an incredible day. So much history. The whole day was very well run, we fitted so much in. Our guide was informative and friendly.

Great trip.very comfortable drive and exactly as advertised. A was a great guide. Very informative but not talking all the time which was great.

We enjoyed all aspects of the trip. Ken was a wonderful guide and Sake an excellent driver. Ken was very informative about everything

This is a worthwhile trip to take though whether you feel it is worth the money will depend on the guide you get. I choose this trip based on a blog of someone who had a fantastic guide, named Prim. Our guide was not so good and should probably find a different line of work. He made no effort to connect with us. When we arrived at Kanchanaburi where you board the train, he dropped us at a coffee shop and said he was going to get breakfast. He didn’t bring water for us as stated in the description and blamed it on the van driver, we pushed him to buy us some. He didn’t really guide, basically bought us a ticket and pointed us in the direction of the attraction. Even though we had a terrible guide, it is a worthwhile trip, but know the history before you go. The buffet lunch was so-so. ( the experience of the blogger was totally different, nice touches like the guide took them to the train stop before the town so they could board and get better seats, they had a served lunch, their guide took them back to the bridge to experience the sunset). I had requested their guide but the request was not accommodated

The tour was fantastic, everything ran reasonably smoothly despite a torrential downpour in the morning which caused some traffic delays. The lunch was good and our guide was attentive. It was a long day which was to be expected, make sure you take that into account when booking.

I booked this for my parents and they also had 2 other trips with Amazing Asia tours and had a brilliant experience and highly recommend them. Well looked after and delivered the complete package from pick up to drop off. Private tours and they would like to thank all the drivers and guides for making their first time to Thailand a special time. Thankyou 😊

Amazing tour with great guide, spacious car. We enjoyed all stops that we made, especially train ride and helfire pass were top.

Too much packed into one 14 hour day. We skipped the waterfall & still did Not enough time to see the graveyard & Hellfire pass thoroughly. Should leave Bangkok at 6am. Mae did the best she could.

A fabulous day excursion which we would recommend to anyone, particularly to anyone with interest in the Second World War in the Far East. Our Driver and Guide were excellent; knowledgeable and helpful, and importantly always ready with cold water or a cooling towel when returning to the minibus. To travel some of the track laid by the allied servicemen and civilians was very moving, and gave spectacular views of the river and an insight into the hardships suffered during its build. The stop at the CWGC cemetery in Kanchanburi made one realise that the many who died on the railway were real people with families and regional contacts from all the many services, and regionally based regiments who fought in World War Two. The tour also gave us the opportunity to get out of the Bangkok bright lights and get a feel for the Thai countryside and its people. We would recommend though, one significant change to the itinerary. While the trip to the JEATH Museum was interesting (a reconstruction of an accommodation hut with many photos) it really should be replaced by a visit to theThailand-Burma Railway Centre, more commonly known as the 'Death Railway Museum and Research Centre', adjacent to the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Kanchanburi which was part of the tour. This is a very well presented and informative museum with many more times the information and artefacts than the JEATH. We were lucky in that we were the only two on the trip and thus were allowed to briefly visit this Museum (at our own small expense) and contact with the curator who could tell us more of the personal history of my wife's father, who worked on the railway, absolutely made our entire holiday to Bangkok.

My guide was very informative and did not want me to miss anything on this trip, the train ride was a good way to get in perspective on what the POWs went through building what you were travelling along.Hell Fire Pass, Respect.

The experience of seeing the conditions the POWs and enslaved peoples were subjected to. Hard to believe mankind can be so inhumane to his fellow man

My guide Tanya was great along with my driver. She was super knowledgeable not only about the tour items but filled with local knowledge and interesting culture along the way. I learned a lot and had a great time. They put in a solid 12.5 hour day with all the traffic in and out of Bangkok. This is a very lengthy day tour. If you’re a history buff this is a must do. You’ll also see a good chunk of the beautiful countryside. Hellfire pass has a pretty sharp drop in elevation and hike back up so be advised wear good shoes and be prepared for a bit of a workout.

We enjoyed the day immensely ! Lots of heartbreaking history combined with beauty ! the day was well-balanced with museums sightseeing and ..lotsa photo opportunities. Our guide was great .. good English and very knowledgeable .. Well done Tripadvisor

Very disappointing! Once in a lifetime trip for us! Guide could not understand or speak English properly. Nothing was explained to us along the way or at the destinations. We were rushed around. Could not even savour the moment on the bridge or anywhere else! Will definitely not recommend this tour! Not happy at all!

This was the best way to learn about and see Kanchanabury and the Burma railway, it was a long day around 12 hours, but being a private tour meant we were able to travel in comfort and not waste time. Our guide Ken was very friendly and informative, with good English. Also our driver Phayoon was good and got us there and back safely.

The trip was well worth the 3 hours to get there. We were well looked after by both driver and guide. Our guide made sure we did everything the best way and at the best time possible 👍😁

Prompt pick up and comfortable van with a skilled driver. Enthusiastic guide that answered our many questions. Delicious lunch in a relaxing and beautiful setting.

The best - grateful to our guide Sam and driver big day of incredible sights and exleriences - Sam was across everything war and Thai do it! must do for Aussies.
