Ms. Kim was a delightful and informative tour guide. We appreciated that the driver, Mr. Gai for his safe driving and thoughtfulness in providing cooling wipes not once but twice during the tour as it was so hot and humid. He also staged the vehicle close by as well. The tour was excellent with Ms. Kim providing background on Ayutthaya's history. The chosen restaurant was the best! We loved the food! The service was also superb. The trip was a good combination of excellent tour people, Ayutthaya destination and delicious cuisine.I just sent my parents (in their 70’s) on this tour while they visited me in Bangkok.

I just sent my parents (in their 70’s) on this tour while they visited me in Bangkok. Their tour guide, Khun Meaw was outstanding. Not only did she contact me ahead of the tour to ensure my parents were ready, she took amazing care of them, sending updates and pictures back to me. My mom can’t stop talking about how amazing it was to learn all the history and see all the amazing temples. Khun Meaw took great care of my parents and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to all my friends. It was a first class tour and not having to worry about parents made it extra enjoyable for me.Our guide Peter is professional with deep knowledge about the 13 to 17 century Thai history.

Perfect day full of culture, history, fun and education. Communication was excellent as we booked our tour. I made a special request for a private tour because one of our family members uses a wheelchair. They communicated that that would be just fine. The driver, Mr San, and our tour guide, Gwen, arrived early to our hotel. Mr. San was an excellent driver and we had a smooth, safe trip. Gwen had taken our request into account and we were able to have a great tour. She used the microphone/speaker system in the van to tell us about the history on our drive up. She was open to any questions and incredibly intelligent. The scenery is amazing and we got to walk all through the temples and learn about the history. In the middle of the day we had a fun boat ride, which was a nice break from walking. Lunch was excellent. Gwen helped us order our meal and joined us for a fun lunch conversation. We ended at a huge Buddha and fun shopping market.WOW! Spectacular ruins, amazing history, picturesque views! Nok is a wonderful tour guide. Highly recommend
