This one is a must do trip if you are traveling to Bangkok. It was very informative and comfortable trip with our family. Mr Army was an excellent English speaking tour guide. He kept us very informed and comfortable throughout the trip and made excellent recommendations for local souvenir shops. He is very knowledgeable about local culture and history. I would highly recommend using in future tour.

We had an amazing day in Ayutthaya with Nok. She was so welcoming, knowledgeable and funny, and made the whole experience 10x better than if we'd done it on our own. She was a superstar and a legend, and great at taking photos for us too!! We'd highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Thailand's history and get the most out of the amazing sites it has to offer.
Thank you for your great review for Quality Thai Guide Nok. Yours faithfully
Our family booked the private tour and it was absolutely amazing. Our guide and driver worked as a fantastic team to ensure that we arrived safely at each site, learned the history and beautiful culture of the area and the Thai people, and had so much fun along the way. They were so knowledgeable, energetic, thoughtful, helpful and fun. This tour was the highlight of our time in Bangkok and we are so grateful for the experience! Thank you, amazing Quality Thai Guides for an outstanding day!

Thank you for your review. Yours sincerely
We had an amazing day out with our guide, Army, and our driver, Mark. Army's knowledge of Thai history is extensive. He was able to answer all of our questions and gave us a good understanding of Thai culture and Buddhism. We appreciated the variety of temples that we were taken to. And we loved the boat trip! We had the right amount of time at each place. It didn't feel rushed. We were grateful for Mark's air-conditioned car and the bottles of water and refreshing towelettes provided to us after each stop. If you're thinking of going to Ayuttaya, don't do it alone. Take the private tour. And I would highly recommend Army and Mark. Thanks, guys. Khop khun khap.
Thank you for your review. Yours sincerely
We made a private trip to Ayutthaya (UNESCO World Heritage Site) including boat tour and can absolutely recommend this experience! Our guide (bakery) was just great – very personable, with a pleasantly casual manner and always open to relaxed conversations. You felt comfortable from the beginning and at the same time got many exciting insights. Both historically and culturally, the excursion was extremely interesting. Ayutthaya itself is impressive, but a real highlight was the boat tour: From the water you get completely different perspectives and see things you would never discover from the road. Especially in the heat, the ride was also a wonderfully refreshing change. A little tip: Be sure to think of a headgear – Ayutthaya can get really hot! Lunch was also excellent – we were in a local restaurant with lots of locals, which made the whole thing particularly authentic. The whole transfer was perfectly organized and worked smoothly from start to finish – really 1A. Conclusion: An all-round successful excursion with great organization, exciting impressions and a very pleasant company. Clear recommendation
Thank you very much. Yours sincerely
We absolutely loved our private tour to Ayutthaya and cannot recommend it enough. The itinerary was perfectly planned, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our guide, Bakery, and our driver. From the very beginning, it felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a friend—an incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful one at that. The journey itself was smooth and comfortable, with our driver going above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. Bakery struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating insights, guiding us to the best spots, helping us capture great photos, and introducing us to an amazing lunch spot along with delicious drink and dessert stops. Every moment felt thoughtfully curated without ever feeling rushed. Honestly, it was the best day. Thank you both so much for such a memorable experience!
Thank you for your review. Yours sincerely
