At first I thought I had booked 1 group trip, but we had the driver & guide all to ourselves! Thang is 1 great guide & told us sooo much about all the sights, explained & showed & cared about us like friends. It was 1 great day 😍
Dear Thomas_S, Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that your day in Ayutthaya was such a memorable experience. It is wonderful to know that Thang provided you with insightful guidance and warm hospitality throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future. Warm regards, Mema Tour,
The guide we used (Jack) turned out to be not knowledgeable about Ayutthaya. We felt cheated because he hardly spoke much about the beautiful ruined monuments we visited. Thankfully, there were lots of boards in most spots with enough info about the carvings. We read and got informed. Seemed a waste to hire Jack for this trip as he had nothing more to add. Jack was pleasant and polite but he did not fulfill his role as a good guide. Total lack of sufficient knowledge or even a decent command of English. Do not recommend him at all.
Dear Swapna, Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your Ayutthaya tour. We understand your disappointment with the guide’s lack of knowledge, and we regret that he did not meet your expectations. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will work to ensure that future guides are better prepared to provide a more informative and enriching experience. We truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. Sincere regards, Mema Tour,
We had a great day with our Guide Sutthimon. We were picked up at our hotel in Bangkok and went by car to Ayutthaya. We visited five temples and learned a lot about thai history. Everything was very well organised.

Our guide, Manus, was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to add context to how other parts of Asia fit in to what was happening in Ayutthaya. Highly recommend this tour. I picked it over other options offered by our hotel and on other web sites because the cost was better. I was very happy with the service and the guide and driver. Could not be more happy!

Providing insightful and engaging tours is what we strive for, and we’re glad you found our service and pricing to be the right choice.

Package included guide Bond and driver Apple. Pick up from our hotel and a comfortable ride for 2 via Toyota Camry. Our guide Bond is knowledgeable and kind. She even knows and feeds the stray dogs at different temples. Brought us for lunch at a Michelin star boat noodles which was delicious. Be prepared for the heat and climb for certain pagodas.
Dear VivianTai, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable tour with Bond and Apple. It’s great to know that Bond’s knowledge and kindness, especially her care for the stray dogs, made your trip even more memorable. We’re also glad that you enjoyed the lunch at the Michelin-starred boat noodles spot—it's definitely a highlight! Your advice on preparing for the heat and climbs is also valuable for future travelers. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for more adventures in the future! Warm regards, Paolo
Our private tour of Ayutthaya was a wonderful experience. Pick up at our hotel was on time with great communication. Our vehicle was very comfortable and air conditioned and we were provided with water for our journey. Our guide, Bond, was absolutely fantastic. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. This tour was an excellent value and well worth the time for a half day outing while visiting Bangkok.
Dear Michell..., Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that your private tour of Ayutthaya was memorable and that everything from the hotel pick-up to the comfort of the vehicle exceeded your expectations. We’re especially pleased to know that Bond, your guide, made such a positive impression with her friendliness, knowledge, and kindness. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her – she’ll be delighted! We’re grateful for your recommendation and are glad that the tour provided excellent value for your time. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure the next time you visit Bangkok! Warm regards, Paolo
It was good. This was the end of three weeks in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam where we had done some incredible day tours. Tour was fine but felt kinda meh compared to the other tours. We had a driver and tour guide. The tour guide was fine but he had a strong personality and sense of humor that didn’t quite mesh with us. He also seemed a little tired that day. Traffic was horrendous there and back (obviously not fault of the tour) out of Bangkok. Took about 2.5 hours each way. It was worth going but I would not enthusiastically recommend this specific tour.
Dear mjwillinoi, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We truly appreciate you taking the time to reflect on your tour experience as part of your multi-country adventure through Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. While we are glad to hear that you found the visit worthwhile, we are sorry that the tour didn't fully meet your expectations, especially compared to the other incredible tours you experienced during your trip. We understand how important it is for our guests to feel fully connected with their guide, and we will certainly take your comments on board to ensure future tours are even more enjoyable. We also regret that the traffic made the journey longer than expected, and while this is something out of our control, we understand how it can impact the overall experience. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate your honesty. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide a tour that exceeds your expectations. Warm regards, Paolo,
We love our tour guide, Mr Ohm. He is very professional and knowledgeable. We feel safe all the time. He is a good photographer, thank you Mr Ohm you’re the best! We enjoyed our tour.
Private is the way to travel in style. No waiting for others, stay as long as you want. Driver was very safe, guide was very nice and explained a lot.
