  2. Margie_R

    On time pick up. Professional driver and tour guide. Our tour guide, First, was informative and funny too. He told us abiut the do’s and don’ts of Thai culture. The lunch was wonderful, just be careful of the spicy ones. There were so many things to see during the river cruise. Thank You very much 👍

  3. Debveda_B

    This was an amazing experience, made more so by our tour guide, Donna. Donna is a native to the area and her love of her country, her extensive historical knowledge of Ayutthaya and obvious reverence for the spiritual and religious aspects of this incredible area truly heightened what was already really special. The river cruise after the exploration of the ruins was very relaxing and the buffet lunch was great. Highly recommend this experience.

    I did not understand from the description, that most of this was by bus and not entirely by boat. I now see that it would be impossible by boat. That said, the trip was excellent. Great guide, comfortable bus, boat ride and buffet were amazing!

    Picked up on time from our hotel (Thai people are always very punctual despite the crazy traffic). Bus drive to Ayutthaya was an hour & a half or so. Our guide Donna was great – really cheerful and enthusiastic. She insists on taking great photos in the best spots. We learned a lot about the history of Thailand and had free time to wander and explore. The boat trip back was also good – the food was really nice from the ‘help your self eat as much as you want’ buffet. Would definitely recommend.

    Collected early from hotel and made our way to start the tour. Donna was our tour guide and kept us informed as we drove along to the site. Once on site Donna imparted some much information and helped with the photos it was a very interesting tour we saw three separate sites before making our way to the cruise home. The boat was very nice and the buffet was very good again Donna came to forefront pointing out landmarks and encouraging us to partake in the buffet. Top Mark’s to our guide

    I was not picked up at my hotel as was booked and paid for. Somehow, I was not on their listing. Anyway, when I called the person at the tour company was very diligent and arrange for a taxi to take me to the assembly point. She was on the phone with me and taxi driver all the time making sure I was not panicking. The bus waited for me but I have to end up paying 200 bahts for the taxi. Donna, the tour guide was awesome.

  9. Ann_v

    The trips to the temples and the cruise with great lunch. Our guide First was excellent and funny. It’s a great way to get an overview of Bangkok and surrounds

  10. Stephen_B

    Great tour. First was knowledgeable and friendly. River cruise was great. Style of tour was excellent. A little overview upfront and then free time to explore.

  11. David_W

    Very interesting and guide was extremely good, driver also very good. Cruise back to Bangkok was very relaxing and the buffet lunch was excellent

  12. Dane_C

    Donna was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Explained about the sights and Thai culture. Timing was good, not too long not too short. Canal ride and buffet was much better than I expected. Also we were not ferried around gift shops like some tours. Highly recommended! Even as a solo traveler! Would go again.

  13. Nikki_G

    Our friendly guide, First, provided a great history lesson throughout the day that gave us a greater appreciation of Thailand. He also knew the best photo stops and allowed enough free time at each stop. The river cruise, on the way back, is a beautiful way to relax and see the sights.

  14. David_S

    Excellent trip and our tour guide was very entertaining, spoke good english and was very knowledgeable. I can’t recall her name but she performed an awesome job looking after the tour group which I estimated to be in excess of 30 people. The river cruise upon our return to Bangkok was very, very enjoyable and the buffet lunch was excellent, a good variety of dishes and deserts followed by tea and coffee. I could not fault this trip at all, we had elected for a pick up from the hotel which was early at 6.30am and well worth the extra cost. The van driver was excellent and a safe driver.

  15. Marie_L

    This looks great on their spiel. Was so keen to come down the river from Ayutthaya, when in fact we are bussed back to Bangkok to do the river cruise. The boat is is very poor shape, and in fact caught fire while we were on it. The guide was enthusiastic and friendly, but her English was so hard to understand I gave up listening which was such a shame, not her fault, but whoever runs this tour should be ashamed, what they are selling, isn’t what you are getting. Wish I’d read the reviews first.

  16. Michael_S

  17. Daniel_G

    Brilliant history trip. Amazing and beautiful to see and our guide was excellent too. If you like to ser ruins and learn about the past this is well recommended

  18. Brian_C

    Actually walking around the entire complex really a very memorable experience. Wish we had more time in a couple of locations, but just a truly enriching experience.

  19. Sara_A

    Loved seeing the ruins and having some of the history explained. First was a very good guide. Enjoyed the river trip ( and the air con!).

  20. Sarah_P

    Our guide Donna was very informative and personable. I would have liked a little more time to walk around the Unesco sight , but of course understand the time constraints. One thing that Donna did her best to fix was to ask those that came on the bus together to sit together in order for those traveling alone to perhaps get a window seat. Sadly a particular family of 5 spread out and would not help out… taking a window seat each! Not the guides fault but it was slightly annoying. Overall a pleasant experience.
