It was a nice tour of the temples we had enough time to walk around and then a good boat ride. Followed by a nice River dinner
Excellent trip and Johnny was an excellent guide. Lovely sunset cruise and dinner by the river. Food was excellent and plentiful
The temples, the boat ride, and the nice meal waterside across from a beautiful temple at dusk were all amazing.
Our guide Nina was very detailed, informative and experienced. Love those historical sites, Thai dancing, good food and fish feeding. Our group enjoyed it very much.
We should have been picked up at the hotel we stayed; however, we were notified by an email message from the tour provider (at midnight about 13 hours before the tour started) requesting us to go to a different meeting point for the tour. If we had known it, we would NOT have booked for this tour. Since it was too late to cancel the booking, we had to take a taxi to the meeting point. Worst part of it was the taxi driver does not understand English, he drove us around for 40 minutes (in fact, the distance in between is only 2 km); consequently, we ended up paying lots of money for the taxi, almost missed the tour, and my blood pressure zoomed up … We hope it won’t happen to the others!
Good afternoon Thanks for joining our tours, we have clearly mentioned our pick up points for this tours, you should read our tour description, however we are sorry for any inconvenience which is actually not our fault at all, regards
We loved the tour of the temples. We were given the freedom to discover everything for ourselves. We had Johnny as tour guide and that was a super guy full of enthusiasm! We only have 2 major downsides. We had planned this trip the day before 30/8 at 1.30pm and they had sent us a whatsapp at 1pm to say the tour WAS NOT ON.. That's a real downer when you have everything mapped out. Moreover, it says that food is included but unfortunately that was not and we only found out on the boat when we had ordered 2 drinks (we had to pay for these and we knew that) & 2x pad thai & mango sticky rice. That was 760 Bath.
Good morning, I am sorry to know your inconvenience and thanks that you liked our product, We have not included any food in the menu kindly review your program once again, Also may I please request you to suggest if your tour was cancelled with any reason, As sometime our boat tours is cancelled because of rough weather. Your kind reply would be appreciated, Once again we wished to inform that we are doing our best provide you the best service only. regards
Guide was very entertaining. Nice escape from the city. Cruise was a nice finish to the day with traditional Thai dancing
Jom was an amazing guide! Seriously incredible, very knowledgeable about the history of Thailand and also about the culture. You will learn a lot from this trip. He has great energy, but not too much and it’s not overbearing. He has done a great job of honing his craft. He is a genuinely great guide. The bus that you travel on is a nice, probably early 2000s Mercedes Benz Mini-Bus. Comfortable seats, cold AC and free cold drinking water on board. The flow of the trip is this, Jom will give background and history/culture on Thailand. Then begin speaking of Ayutthaya. Before each site he gives a brief then you’re free to explore. The boat ride and fish feeding is also amazing. Yes it is hot these days (May 2024) but not unbearable. Do this trip!
I was torn about booking this tour since it didn't have any reviews yet. However, I definitely don't regret it. Everything was very well organized and the tour started on time. The vehicle was adequate and the guide, Jom or Johnny, was very informative and funny. We had enough time at all stops on site. It wasn't a rush. You can buy snacks at every stop, as dinner is not included and you arrive in Bangkok very late. The only negative aspect is that the journey is relatively long compared to the time spent there. It took me 2.5 hours to get there because I first had to get to the meeting point, from there another 2 hours and back 2 hours.
Tour said they were full after I booked and received confirmation so we had to find another company that was more accommodating.
Good afternoon, so sorry to know about this, we are very sorry, as these days we become booked so fast, we really apologies for this, However please apply for 100% refund with our due apology. Regards
