The tour was wonderful. Great culture. The tour guides were very communicative which helped because we initially did not know women had to wear sleeves and pants. For me, it was really hot so I brought a fan with me.
Great trip and well worth while. The tour guide and driver were exceptionally polite and accommodating. Got lost trying to find the pick up as there is multiple options and none labeled but got guided right without an issue. Got on the lovely aircon transfer and presented with a snack pack for the day. Great sites I would t have seen unless I booked a tour and ver informative. Sites were busy - not a shocker at all as they are world heritage - but not packed either. Loads of opportunities to take photos solo without crowds.

Suits last minute arrivals with a 1pm start, drive to 2 temples, the third reached by a boat. Then back to Bangkok by 8 pm. Old brick temple ruins are stunning, we did have a sunset. Very good guide and driver.
Great experience to learn more about Thai history and culture. The guide Mr Chaiwat was great in explaining
The outing was great, the guide both helpful and well informed. I liked having time alone at each sight.
What a great way to spend a day. The tour doesn't start until early afternoon, so there's no need to rush in the morning, and the river cruise at sunset to the last temple site was the perfect ending. Aoy was an excellent guide and kept the tour lively and entertaining, not an easy task if you've seen dozens of temples before. Highly recommended!
Get half day tour and worth the money. We did three temples, a boat ride and street food market. Our guide Chaiwat was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Well worth the day out, splendid temples with interesting historical backgrounds accompanied by an informative and friendly guide, I would thoroughly recommend the tour
Excellent organised trip to Ayuttaya.The guide was really nice and seemed to know many historical things.
I booked this trip solo so I could learn the history as I saw the sites. The guide Chaiwat was a wealth of historical facts and took great care of neon the journey. He spoke great English and aside from seeing the temples, we rode the river and shopped the local markets.
