Excellent tour. Our guide, Tee was knowledgeable and informative. I fully recommend this tour. Only downside was heat/humidity.

The program is all about temples… Boriing The van was a little bit filty. But Nancy was terrific and detsil oriented
Eddy and our driver were fabulous! Great details and history about each sight. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed each stop and the wonderful lunch spot. Wonderful full day experience - highly recommend
Tank was awesome! Great photographer and sang a song for us! So different temples and lunch was great!
We had a great time exploring Ayutthaya! Niranya was such a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and informative, but also funny, sweet, and easy to talk to. She made the tour really enjoyable and kept things interesting the whole time. We learned a lot about the history of Ayutthaya while having fun along the way. We really enjoyed having her as our guide and would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting!
It was a great day but hot. The AC in the van was appreciated. The guide, Cake, was very knowledgeable and easy to approach for questions. I especially enjoyed the last stop. I learnt a lot.
John was very knowledgeable on all the temples we went to. He was able to answer a lot of questions during our tour. The tour provided enough time to look around each site
Planned well but guide was not organized well. Less is more so just ended up ignore and it improved the experience.
The guide, Nancy, absolutely made this trip! She was enthusiastic and informative, and despite the very hot & humid day, made sure to keep us hydrated and shaded as much as possible while touring. The temples are incredible and I am so glad I went with a guide because things are far more separated than they looked on a map. Well worth the expense and having an air conditioned van was a lifesaver!
Nice and interesting tour. Recommend for historical interest in Thailand culture. I will recommend this to
This tour is very interesting! The guide (Tee) is very kind, intelligent and fun. He explains history and local culture very well and shares tips and interesting facts. Besides being excellent at his job, he is a great photographer and knows the best photo spots. We highly recommend this tour and the best guide we could have asked for.
The driver is not good. Not just “oh we’re in Bangkok” but actually not good. Very erratic and outright dangerous at times. The tour guide didn’t really know English and her heavy accent made it so I could only understand every fifth word anyway. Me and my wife gave up trying to listen and just walked around. I have a feeling the other guests were doing the same. The van was old and the air conditioning only worked in the back seat, which everyone was fighting for. I would NOT recommend this tour to anyone.
Mr. Eddy was a great guide!! It was fun learning about the history of the area and seeing the summer palace
Great walking tour with nice lunch and good host. Mostly saw a lot of religious site ruins. Good driver and comfortable conditions
Great experience, guide very cool! He explained all the history around. I recommend this tour, I meet really nice people
Very good experiencing the cultural capital of Thailand in the past and the temples and ruins were beautiful
This is a great tour for anyone who wants to get out of Bangkok and learn history about Thailand and Buddhism. Our guide was Mr T, and he was a cheerful, funny guide who is full of knowledge and stories. We really appreciated some of his special touches, like stopping to show us how locals in the area make a sugar spun treat (and then getting to sample it.. yum!) The air conditioned van was a must and a welcome relief from the heat and humidity. We would recommend this tour as a great way to get out of the city and experience the history of Thailand.
Our guide, Cherry, was excellent. She was knowledgeable of the history of all the sites and was funny as well. The sites we went to were beautiful and she had stories about each one. Highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience with Chayada. She was attentive to time, organized, and shared vast historical information at the sites, including the historical transition of power. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and appreciated the historical and current context as we visited these historic sites.
Be careful about pick up- they came 30 minutes earlier than advertised so we were not ready and missed the tour. They did send an email after 9 pm saying that the time had changed but I was sleeping already.
Pop was an amazing tour guide! It was very hot today and he accomodate everyone with water and breaks. Great tour and explored a lot. Wonderful pictures for forever memories were taken on this trip!
Well organise trip. Your guide made the explanation lively and interesting. Good service from the driver
Today, we booked a day tour to Ayutthaya through Victor. We highly recommend this tour, as it was such a wonderful and interesting experience. Our guide, Engie, is also highly recommended! She shared so much knowledge and passion about the temples and the history of Ayutthaya. She was also very thoughtful and helpful, always taking the time to answer our questions and helping us find the best spots to take beautiful photos. Once again, a heartfelt thank you to Engie for making this such an unforgettable day!
Very great, from the pick up until the drop off at MBK went very smoothly, we even arrive earlier than scheduled. The only negative side was the super hot weather.
Good day in thai very very nice
Good experience! Meeting up was a little difficult due to some miscommunication but the tour guide did a great job explaining the history of the ruins.
I highly recommend this full-day tour to the Ayutthaya Historical Park! We really wanted to avoid the massive, crowded bus trips, and this small-group setup was the perfect way to see the UNESCO sites. Having hassle-free hotel pick-up and drop-off made the entire day so smooth, which we deeply appreciated. Our guide, Fern, was absolutely amazing. She was super friendly, very flexible, and tailored the itinerary perfectly to meet our needs. The absolute highlight was how much special attention she paid to my mother-in-law Fern basically became her personal photographer for the day and captured some fantastic shots! To top it off, the lunch spot she chose for us was surprisingly great. If you’re visiting Bangkok and want a personalized, relaxed way to explore Ayutthaya with a guide who genuinely cares, definitely book this tour!
The tour was well-organized and went according to schedule. The guide was knowledgeable, polite, and provided interesting context throughout the trip. Overall, it was a pleasant and hassle-free way to see the highlights, meeting expectations without any issues.
Mr Tee was brilliant, very good and informative guide. Kept us entertained the whole time and clearly knew a lot about the area and the temples. Would highly reccomend
★★★★★ A very enjoyable and well-organised day trip to Ayutthaya. Our tour leader, Mr T, was excellent: informative, engaging and with a good sense of humour. You could sense that his knowledge came not only from the facts and history, but also from lived experience. The 8:00 am meeting point outside the entrance to MBK Centre was centrally located and easy to find. However, as it was already hot and humid at that time of the morning, it wasn't particularly comfortable waiting outside for the tour to begin. An indoor meeting point would be an improvement. The tour itself was well-paced, with a good balance between walking, sightseeing and time to rest. The van was comfortable, with good air-conditioning and reclining seats. Our driver, coincidentally also named Mr T, was calm, patient and drove safely throughout the day. The restaurant where we stopped for lunch was comfortable, although we found the food fairly average. Overall, a very good experience, particularly if you have limited time and would like a brief but worthwhile introduction to Ayutthaya and its historical sites.
It's a long day at multiple sites so be prepared for walking and listening! Our guide's tech equipment was malfunctioning so we missed some info, but Ayutthaya itself is definitely worth a visit.
pop was nice and informative and very down to earth. all the locals at every temple we visited during the tour knew him and greeted us with kindness :) would recommend 10/10
Mr. T was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, provided lots of information. Had photos to help with explanations. Very valuable tour and we learned a lot about Thai history and culture.
It was great tour with guide who had good English and knowledge to provide all the historical background and keep it entertaining for long tour.
Our tour guide Cherry was lovely, energetic and extremely informational. The tour included lots of Buddhist temples along with their extremely interesting culture and history
Excellent day tour- Jack was very knowledgable and kept everyone engaged throughout the tour. Great value for money and felt safe throughout. Jack was one of the best tour guides we have had on our trip to Bangkok
Jack was a great guide. He was informative and enthusiastic while showing us the beautiful temples. I really enjoyed the day and would highly recommend.
The trip was very nice and informative, and our guide Coco (Coconut) was very kind and knowledgable.
Amazing temples and ruins that make you feel connected to history. Learned a lot about the area and culture from the tour guide
Amazing. Our guide Tank was very friendly and knowledgeable allowing us to understand what we were seeing.
Had a great time on the tour. Our guide Ratima was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. The driver was professional, polite, and drove very smoothly the whole way there and back. They both took great care in looking after our comfort and our experience. Very well organized and executed. Great team!
Nancy was an excellent guide and knew where all the good photo spots were and our driver Mr B Pream was an excellent driver we will recommend this trip to all of our friends and we are grateful to Nancy for our wonderful memories. Thank you both from Peter and Sharon Queensland Australia.
Everything was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Mr. Tee, was truly great. He explained everything in detail with a very pleasant style and took wonderful care of us throughout the entire trip. The historical sights at Ayutthaya were stunning, and Mr. Tee took us on a fabulous tour. Thank you so much, Mr. Tee!— Martin and Marianna
Mr Tee is super knowledgable and was able to answer any questions i had about Thailand! He’s very friendly and i would definitely go on his other tours in the future 🥰
Good pace, description, and stories provided by Mr. Tee. I highly recommend this tour. Umbrellas are provided by the park but it helps to bring your own. One bottle of water per person is provided by the tour group, but bring more for sure. For lunch we went to a great spot. Mr. Tee can provide you some good suggestions.
Nancy was our guide. She was engaging and funny and informative. She kept us moving without feeling rushed. The van was very comfortable. The tour was definitely worthwhile. There is no way we would have been able to visit all the sites and get all the information in a day that we did. Nancy even helped us track down a tamarind cutting board we have been looking for! It was a wonderful and exhausting day.
Every informative and tour guide is very nice, knowledgeable, and funny. I learned a lot about Thai culture
I had a great experience with Ratima! As a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous to go the tour alone, but she made it very engaging for the group. Highly recommend!
The pick up time I was given was 7:00 am and they were there to pick us up at 6:40 the tour lady called me and I told her we would hurry as we were still getting ready she then sent me messages every 5 minutes to hurry up because traffic was going to be bad. When we get in the car she is almost yelling at us telling us that we still had to pick up from other three places and we were going to be stuck in traffic. Ummm excuse me I told her, HER team is the one that arranges the pick up NOT me! I completely understand traffic is bad but if they would’ve given us an earlier pick up time we would’ve been ready. I didn’t not appreciate getting yelled at 7am for something that was not my fault. Other than that the rest of the trip was fine.
First of all I wanted to express my gratitude to the guide (Kiki) because finally I have pictures of myself in Thailand😆 Travelling solo doesn’t really allow you to take that many, but she was super happy to take some and suggesting the best shots as well. About the tour itself: it was well planned and well paced, not too fast not too slow, after the tour done by the guide for each site we would have 15/20 minutes to go around alone (you might think it’s not much, but it was scorching hot, so I wouldn’t have wanted to stay there longer). Good thing is that each site provides umbrellas to shadowing you from the sun. Kiki was also very happy to answer all our questions and she even explained us Buddha’s images referred to days of the week we were born in, we had a lot of fun discussing people personalities on our way back. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
