Review of the Barcelona to La Roca Village Shopping Express, with transport tips, outlet savings, timing, comfort, and practical booking advice.
“It was easy to use the ticket - just need to be on time for the bus as they do not wait for people to be fully onboard (since it's an open ticket). When you board, you will be asked for the return time and issued a ticket (please keep this with you as they need to scan when you board the return bus). You can asked for a later return time but still take the earlier timing bus if you arrive in time.”
Ride past Maeklong market stalls, explore Wat Bang Kung, taste Amphawa treats, and watch fireflies on a small-group Bangkok day trip.
“We had a great time, the communication with our guide Sureena was smooth and she was very sweet and also gave us a good history background about the spots we visited. The van was spotless clean and very comfortable as well. My personal opinion after taking the tour would be to spend less time at the railway market and more time at the floating market, as the last one is much more interesting and has more to offer. Both the temple visit and the fireflies boat tour were very special and I'm glad we got to experience them. Overall I'd really recommend this excursion and thanks Sureena once again for…”

Great company to take a tour with. Definitely recommend!”
