A Great trip to Ayutthaya with a lot of delicious food - Really interesting tour with our guide Ohm who is speaking fluemntly English. Ohm has a wide specter of knowledge about Thai history - really interesting to listen to what he can tell about Ayutthaya and Thai history. And you have to pay good attention - he is asking you control question afterwards - We did unforunately not pass that test:-) Also very good and authentic food along the way - breakfast-lunch and dinner - all served in local markets and restaurants. Make sure you do not eat a big breakkfast before the tour! And the driver brought us safe home to our hotel after eight hour trip.This is a highly recommended trip - good value for money. Everything went smoothly - thank you for the trip!

Amazing Sasa was THE best - We could not be happier about this tour, Sasa was the perfect guide for this, she has so much energy and for us all the food that she gave us was amazing, it was more than just a day trip to Ayutthaya, she knows so much about history that she answered all of our questions, and again all the food that she gave us was fantastic.

Informative, fun and filling! - Excellent mix of culture and culinary discoveries. Be prepared to taste variety of foods and lots of it. Our tour guide, Sa SA, took time to inform us the culture and history of Attutayah. She was attentive and fun. She made sure to answer questions and encouraged us to taste different foods. Her English was very clear. The pictures that Sa Sa took was downloaded and emailed to us in a timely matter. This was a great bonus. A group of 5 travelers: husband, wife, senior citizen, 20 and 15 year olds. Since it’s a private tour, Sa Sa was very accommodating to our needs. It was a very fun and fulfilling tour. We highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour with lots of variety - We spent a lovely day with Sasa from Taste of Thailand Food Tours exploring Ayutthaya's temples, markets and shops. Our guide and driver were courteous and our day was a well balanced and full schedule. There is much to see and explore in Ayutthaya and we were able to go between temples and tastings with ease. This tour is a great way to explore the history and temples while also enjoying some of the local life of the community. I highly recommend this as a day trip from Bangkok.

Best Tour in Thailand - My husband and I were in Thailand for three weeks and took several tours. This was the best by far. Our guide Ohm was a wealth of knowledge not just about the history of Ayutthaya but about local food, culture, and all things Thai. He was so friendly and made sure our day was full of good eats, must-see sights, and interesting experiences, as well as capturing it all by acting as our photographer. Don’t miss out on this tour - it’ll be a highlight of your trip!

Amazing Day with Bella - Bella took us on a private tour of Ayutthaya and it was the highlight of our time in Thailand. The ancient temples were amazing and Bella's knowledge of he area made everything come alive. The tour also included several stops to sample local food offerings. Everything was delicious and different from anything we had ever eaten before. Thanks, Bella, for the wonderful time we spent we spent with you. And thanks for the amazing photos you took of us along the way. We will remember our time with you for many years to come.

SCAM ALERT - NO SHOW FROM TOUR OPERATOR - The tour guide was a NO SHOW and the phone number provided in the itinerary was a non-working number. We sent multiple email messages with no response. Ruined our day.

Food part made my husband very sick. - The guide (Ohm?) was super nice and in no way was anything his fault. The places you are supposed to eat at are a health department nightmare. One dessert we were supposed to try was some gross custard thing. The man was flipping them in a skillet with his bare hand while smoking a cigarette in the other. All food places were really dirty and made me wonder if rats or vermin cam in at night. Just avoid the street food in general. The last place we went my husband found a price of metal in his soup. He was sick for 3 days. Take the guided tour but don’t do the food part. I liked the ancient cities very much.
