Wonderful half-day trip to Ayutthaya, and the perfect way to see the old capital from Bangkok! The small group size made the whole experience relaxed and personal, and the itinerary was well planned so we saw the highlights without feeling rushed. A special thank you to our guide, Sam, who made the day. He was extremely polite and well mannered, always friendly and attentive to everyone in the group. His English was excellent and very easy to follow, and his knowledge of Ayutthaya and its history was outstanding. He explained how the kingdom rose, flourished and fell, and brought the ruins to life with great stories rather than just facts. We learned so much more than we would have on our own. The transfers were comfortable and well organised, and the tour was great value for money. If you are interested in history and temples and want a stress-free day trip from Bangkok, I highly recommend this tour, and I would ask for Sam as your guide if you can. Five stars all the way!

the tour was great! it was really interesting to hear of the history of Ayutthaya and how the royal line came to be. Cherry was a great guide too! very joyful and I appreciated the tidbits and trivia she shared about the places we had been. the restaurant where we had lunch had great food as well, definitely value for money. all in all it was a great experience for me and my friend.

Ayuthayya is historical site so booking Private Tour is recommended especially for family. Don’t just go there and take picture and leave. You are already using your time, effort and money, so make the make it informative and memorable. Our Guide is Chacha, she was early in our hotel, she’s energetic all the way and knows in and outs of history. Also went thru lunch in a local resto beside the river, food was great, price was reasonable and cheap.

Thank you so much to our tour guide, Pi Toto, for your patient explanations and care throughout the entire day. From the very beginning on the train to Ayutthaya, you introduced the history of the railway and thoughtfully chose comfortable seats so we could fully enjoy the scenery during the one-hour ride. Upon arriving in Ayutthaya, a dedicated tuk-tuk and driver were waiting for us outside. The ride was extremely comfortable, and complimentary drinking water was provided. Thank you to the tuk-tuk driver for patiently waiting for us as we visited each attraction from around 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Every single sight left me amazed and in awe, especially the café where there were actual elephants and we could interact with them. Most importantly, the café had a wonderful atmosphere and the food was delicious. Special thanks to Pi Toto for recommending a reasonably priced souvenir shop and dessert spot. Finally, thank you to the dedicated driver who safely brought us back to our destination on the return trip. I sincerely recommend this tour—you can book it blindly and get an amazing team. I am beyond satisfied with the whole day's itinerary!

This is a MUST DO activity if you go to Thailand!!! Thailand heat is gruelling but this trip started early so we had the walking tour in less heated weather and plenty of time relaxing in the afternoon drinking, chilling, and eating out. Having a tour guide and transportation is also comfortable as the Thai weather is no joke... it would have drained us if we took a commute. Thank you so much PhiphiTwo for a wonderful tour!

Our private day trip to Ayutthaya was the absolute highlight of our time in Thailand, and it was entirely thanks to our incredible driver/guide, Nut. He is a rare gem who perfectly balances being both an expert driver and a brilliant guide. Once we arrived at the ruins, His passion for Ayutthaya's history truly shined.He brought the ancient kingdom to life with fascinating stories, cultural insights, and a deep respect for the temples.What made the day truly exceptional were the thoughtful touches. He expertly timed our itinerary to beat the massive tour crowds, ensuring we had peaceful moments at iconic spots like Wat Mahathat and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. As a wonderful bonus, Nut is an amazing photographer! He knew all the best angles and effortlessly captured beautiful memories for us throughout the day.From recommending a fantastic local shrimp market lunch to sharing genuine Thai hospitality. Don't hesitate to book your Ayutthaya trip with Nut—10/10 stars!

The first time we tried booking through Klook, we encountered an issue. Luckily, MyProGuide was easy to reach and they managed to fix it in just a few minutes. We were guided by Pipi Two and had so much fun thanks to her energy. She taught us a lot about Thailand's history, language, people, and culture. She took so many photos of us and we're thankful that we get to save these memories. She even bought snacks (Roti Sai Mai) and drinks for us when we asked to stop by somewhere for a toilet break. The itinerary was perfect if you want a quick trip and if you want to avoid spending all day in the heat, and if you want to experience the the Chao Praya River. The van was very spacious too. I feel very luck that we were assigned to Pipi Two!
