Great tour, great guide and driver - Five stars for our guide and our driver! They were awesome. Tum Tum was the best and most knowledgeable guide ever. Coupled with her great personality, this made for a fantastic day. Our driver (a second lovely lady), made us feel safe 100% of the time. I have no idea how she manages to drive so well in traffic in Bangkok and surrounding areas, but she did amazing. I am glad we did the private tour, which gave us more flexibility to go at our own pace. It's a lot of walking through all of the sites, so be prepared. It was nice to have the entire backseat to ourselves (just me and my son), so we could spread out in the air conditioning, and leave our belongings safely in the car with the driver while we toured the various temple sites. Highly recommended, especially if you can get Tum Tum as your guide. If you are a history buff like my son, this is definitely the tour for you.

Great private tour - no waiting!! - A private tour was excellent, an on time pick up from our hotel & a direct drive meant we got to the sites before the crowds. Our driver Pat & guide Bird took great care of us, making sure we had snacks, drinks & water. Bird explained the history behind the sites we visited & made sure we took photos at the best views. His English was sometimes difficult to understand but listening carefully it was fine - & a 100%better than my Thai! It was a fascinating day out, we are so pleased we went to see this historic area & very pleased we did the private tour. Thank you Bird & Pat!

Great Private Tour - We enjoyed our tour from start to finish. Guide ( Hoi) and driver were on time and the drive was fast and smooth using the express way from our location. Visit of the palace first was well done with the proposed circuit across the garden. Many detailed explanations from Hoi. Continued to Ayutthaya to visit the main temples. Many historical insights and keep photo spots provided by Hoi. Stopped for lunch was ok Completed the tour with the last 2 locations with the same amount of insights and tips. Return to Bangkok in no time using the express way. Great tour overall.

Wonderful day- nice care - Nice care. The guide and the driver were on time. Nice pick up at the hotel making sure we had everything we needed, including umbrella. Going through the express way saved us a lot of time. The visit to the summer palace were beautiful and well explained by our guide ‘Hoi’(? Not sure how to write it) The visit to the various temples in Ayutthaya well explained by Hoi was magical. Several indications of photo spot of our guide. Lunch stop correct. Back on the express way without any problems and very fast despite the traffic at the end of the day. Wonderful day.

Fascinating sites and knowledgeable guide - Our guide was friendly and professional. He provided interesting background information on each of the sites we visited and taught us important norms for respectfully visiting sacred sites. We appreciated him showing us images of what the ancient city looked liked before it began to decay.

Great tour great guide great sites and history - We really enjoyed this private excursion to Ayutthaya! Our guide Rawat was very knowledgeable about the palace and temples. The history and stories he shared with us made the tour so much more enjoyable. He also takes you to the best photo spots at all of the sites!! He also was super flexible and allowed us to tailor the tour to fit in with our schedule so that we saw everything we wanted to, spent time where we wanted to and got us back to the hotel to give us time to pack for our departure back home. Thank you Rawat for an awesome experience!!

Ancient temples and monuments - The views of the ancient relics and temples in Ayutthaya were amazing. The tour guide in the trip was also helpful and very insightful. She shared lots of wisdom on Buddhism and the Thai way of living.

The tour didn’t cost much so I guess you got what you paid for - It was a long ride from Bangkok to see some of the most destroyed and neglectedtemples that we have seen since we left Bali. What a shame. Guide was more interested in taking our pictures constantly than giving us valuable history.
