Highlights
Travel back in history to the famous bridge over the River Kwai. Witness the historic river's poignancy, a focal point of many films and books. Near the town of Kanchanaburi, visit two well-kept cemeteries. These are the graves of fallen soldiers who died constructing the Death Railway.
Kanchanaburi town, 130 km west of Bangkok, is an exceptionally beautiful area. You'll find deep jungles and meandering rivers that snake through an idyllic landscape, framed by rugged mountains. Although the bridge is the most frequented tourist draw, the wider Kanchanaburi province is also worth exploring for its spectacular scenery. Enjoy a Thai set lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Bangkok.

Overall is a great tour. The train ride was amazing. Given this tour a 4 stars because the itinerary mentioned there is a boat ride but actually it wasn't included in the package. Do take note if anyone wanted the boat ride, this package doesn't provide it. Felt that I had paid for it but service wasn't provided.
Great tour, lots of info given and not pushy at all. journey between places are long with various breaks in-between so please take note if you can't stand that.
Good experience to visit 'Death Railway' and to walk over the bridge. Visit to the cemetery was moving, and the museum was very informative. We did not go under the bridge in a boat as per the trip description. I think the train trip should include going over the bridge. I am glad I did the trip
