Reviews
Our Ayutthaya tour was a great experience. The tour guide was friendly and did his best to communicate in English, making the trip enjoyable and easy to follow. Learning about the history of Ayutthaya was very interesting and informative. The historical sites were impressive and gave us a deeper appreciation of Thailand’s rich cultural heritage. The weather was extremely hot during the tour, but the organizers thoughtfully provided water, cookies, and wet towels, which made the experience much more comfortable. Overall, the tour was well-organized and definitely worth the price.
Great tour to get to know Ayutthaya especially for first-time visitors like us. Our guide, Bamboo, is fantastic especially in explaining the history of each places and handling the group and make sure everything is within ample time including lunch time. Weather can get very hot and the heat will for sure get to you so highly recommend to be prepared, bring your wide hat, sunglasses and mini fans. Some places will provide umbrella to use within the temple complex. Don’t forget to bring enough cash to cover entrance tickets to each site and some light souvenirs & cafe hopping as you will need extra hydration to beat the heat!! Ayutthaya really is amazing historical site with plenty of photogenic corners to fill up your photo album and the tour really make exploring Ayutthaya comprehensive and as convenient it can be for tourist
This one-day tour of the old city was such a great value, and it's all thanks to our guide, Michael Jackson (who calls himself the Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand)! He was full of energy all day, and his professionalism was absolutely top-notch. He's Thai, but he speaks fluent Chinese and English. When he explained the dynasty history in Chinese, his logic was incredibly clear, and there were no communication barriers at all. What impressed us most was that he even prepared beautiful historical materials and before-and-after comparison images, allowing us to compare the current state of the historical sites with how they looked in the past. History instantly came to life, and it wasn't just about looking at stone buildings anymore. During the tour, he was also very patient in teaching us to speak Thai. Under the hot Bangkok sun, he always thoughtfully helped us find shady spots to take pictures and listen to his explanations, making the tour relaxing and comfortable for us. I really hope every group can meet a guide as excellent as Michael Jackson. He added so much to this trip! If you have the chance to join this tour, be sure to request this "Takeshi Kaneshiro of Thailand!"
Tour guide Phi Jackson is super knowledgeable about Ayutthaya’s rich history! I was so captivated by his storytelling throughout the whole journey that I wished he was my history teacher in high school. He speaks really fluent Mandarin, and he cracks some jokes to keep us entertained. His occasional mentions of K-pop idols who have an affinity for Thailand or who were born in Thailand got me excited too. The way he flipped through pages of pictures like a presentation slide showed that he carries a lot of pride in his country. Inspiring to see that passion shining through him! Also thankful for the safe bus ride with comfortable seats and aircond. The cherry on top is the water bottle, cookie, and wet towel, which made us feel like they truly prioritize their customers’ experience.
All my exhaustion from this day trip was so worth it. If you want to enter the temples, there are entrances. They cost 20-100 baht. Use my code 8U3K5P when you book on Klook to get 250 off.
Very good experience. guide felt really dedicated and crew were really helpful and avaialable all the time. the pace of the trip was reasonable and the time allocated for each place was enough to thoroughly go through the sites and take pictures. the ancient temples of Ayutthaya were absolutely a must see and i would have regretted not visiting them during my stay in Bangkok. overall pleased with the trip :).
The tour was enjoyable for several reasons: 1) the places of visit brings you back to the old days in Thailand. I think we all learnt quite abit about the history. It was interesting! 2) the buildings were very majestic and left us in awe. 3) this is the highlight of the tour--our tour guide, Bank was fantastic. He was very genuine throughout the trip and you can tell he tries very hard to help us all be comfortable. He looked out for our safety and gave alot of information on the places we went, even in Central Bangkok where he shared his favorite places to go. He is the best tour guide I have seen and trust me on this, I have been to many tours. He speaks Mandarin and Thai more than English to for those folks opting for English, you may not be getting Bank.
was mesmerized by the ancient tuins in Ayutthaya! a must visit when you come to Bangkok. the guide were really good in speaking english you can really understand them. they also provide water cookie and cold towels.
Tour check-in, bus transfer on time. guide Chikky ( capybara) and Chinese guide, and driver are all pleasant. provided water and a cookie snack. booked last minute, not too crowded for October visit. had a great time.
