The sites are well worth seeing but they require a good guide who can explain the history and tell what happened there. Our guide’s English wasn’t great which really impacted the experience

Long but interesting day trip

The temples are very interesting, as is the stories and history that go with them. Our driver was great - very careful and accommodating. Our guide Pet was a lovely person but no sense of personal space. I had to keep moving away as she would always stand too close. It was a “dance” we did all day. Her English was not always easy to understand which made the day more difficult and a bit frustrating. I’m very glad we went as we wouldn’t have seen or learn about Siam history however I’m not sure I would recommend it to my friends .

Highly recommend

Very knowledgeable guide who spent the day with us. The car was clean and driver was attentive. The lunch restaurant was quality. We chose this private tour so we could go at our own pace and it was worth it.

Full on temple experience and amazing lunch

Patchara Petch was amazing, full of information and energy. There wasn’t a question she didn’t answer straight away and we knew more about Bangkok in the first hour than from any previous source We did all the advertised temples and one extra one, we had a luxury minibus and in the middle of the day, an incredible lunch at a Michelin listed restaurant. Also lots of extra activities in between. Very good trip

My dad and I are...

My dad and I are traveling through southeast Asia and only had a few days in Bangkok (Krung Thep in thai) and this was absolutely worth it. We are both history lovers and seeing such large cultural grounds was truly incredible. With this tour you get to visit a few different areas of Ayutthaya and includes a lunch (which was delicious). I can't state how nice it was to have a car take us from each place to the next as everywhere was pretty far apart (and 1 hr outside of Krung Thep). Each place had tourists but there weren't crowds of them and it was easy to get pictures with no one in sight. Best of all (besides the ruins and such) was our tour guide. I don't know how to spell her name but she was very friendly, knew very good English and answered every question we had. I was worried that this tour would not be worth a full day but I can guarantee it was 100%

What a great way to see...

What a great way to see Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-In Summer Palace on private tour. It was very hot so it was nice to able to see the temples at our own pace and not have to wait around for other people as you would with a larger group tour. We were well taken care of by Noi, our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, provided details about the history of Thailand and answered all of our questions. Lunch was at a Michelin star restaurant which was very tasty. The tour was well organized and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
