Had a great tour with Niranya, she was really funny and shared a lot of person stories that gave us an insight into the thai culture. She was really informative and also helped us take the sky metro after the tour was over, we are very grateful to have had her as our guide.

I highly recommend this day trip from Bangkok. I think it would be next to impossible to see this many temple sites on your own without a tour bc Ayutthaya is made up of several different places. Pinporn (Angie) was an absolutely wonderful guide. Not only did she share all kinds of interesting info about Thai history and culture, she is quite.funny and kept us laughing throughout the day. She also is a fantastic photographer! She knew all of the best spots for photos and encouraged us to pose for them. Her photos are definitely the best pictures from my trip! I wasn't clear on the pickup info the day before the tour but bc they provided me with Angie's Whatsapp in the confirmation email I was able to message her with my question and she was very responsive and helpful. This tour is great bc it is a nice small size to get personal attention (9 on our tour) but still enough people to make new friends from all over the world. We had a nice mix of solo travelers, couples, and friends. Thank you to Angie and also our lovely driver for a wonderful day!Nancy_C

We had a private tour for my family of three. Pick up at our hotel was prompt. The air-conditioned van was good. Our guide was very knowledgable and personable. It was very, very hot and there was a lot of walking so be prepared for that on this trip.

Everything that we saw was great and very educational! The guide was a bit intense and more information on dress code would have been good. We ended up having to buy flowy pants because long tights were not accepted.
