Because it was within the area, they picked me up from the hotel, and it was great that they were fluent in Japanese, knew each temple in detail, and were able to visit remote locations that would have been difficult to visit on my own. The guide was also interesting and explained things in an easy-to-understand way, which was very informative! Lunch was predetermined, and I was able to enter a restaurant that I wouldn't have been able to enter on my own, and they helped me with anything I didn't understand, so I was able to sightsee with peace of mind. I didn't think I would be able to see elephants on this trip, but I was even able to ride an elephant, which I am very satisfied with. Thank you very much!

The tour is such an amazing experience to see the temples. The tour went smoothly. Since tge payment for the admission fee is included our tour guide Nicky collected all the payment from the start which makes our entry to the temple really smooth. Nicky is a really good tour guide. Very organized and well-informed about the history of each of the temple she even offered us a song. I also like the participant in this tour. they are very friendy. I joined solo but after the tour I gained some new friends.

Tour guide: Mr. Nut. We had a superb and great experience today w Mr Nut as he brought us to the right place at the right time that we could manage to catch the highlights of the places at least twice (e.g Maeklong train passing to and fro). Also, he was helpful in knowing the places that is the cheapest in the whole area and led us right to it for our shopping spree. His food recommendations were top notch as we tried it and it fit perfectly right to our taste buds. Ayutthaya was great as Mr Nut manage to explain the history of the kingdom within a minute and we could understand the structure and significance of all the buildings in accordance to the era at that time. Would highly recommend whoever that plans to visit here next to take up the package as it did not disappoint. Mr Nut is also a really good and 5-star certified photographer. He knows all the hotspots for the photo and gets good angle shots of it. Thank you for the greatest experience Mr Nut!

The best tour we took in Bangkok! This tour of the markets and Ayutthaya in a single day is super practical and saves you from having to book another tour separately. Q, our guide was punctual, friendly, very helpful, and helped us with everything. It was like visiting these sites with a friend, he even told us how to pose in the photos!! His car was super clean and had everything to make the trip comfortable: chargers, fans, Bluetooth, and even blankets to sleep during the transfers. Highly recommended and unmissable! Greetings from Mexico.

The itinerary was well-arranged, with just enough time at each attraction to take pictures. In addition to explaining the stories behind the attractions, the tour guide also helped everyone take photos to create wonderful memories. A great experience!

I participated in the Japanese tour. The guide was very kind and took pictures for me everywhere. I was very satisfied because they treated me to coconut, snacks, and water that were not included in the tour. Also, the other Japanese people who participated were all cheerful and sociable, and by the second half of the tour, we were able to walk around while talking happily. I was happy to make friends in a foreign land. It was also a valuable trip to be able to experience taking a walk on an elephant. I am grateful to the guide, the driver, and the Japanese people who were with me.

Our tour guide, Nicky, was very energetic. At each stop, she would brief the group about the history of the location and what to expect. She's very clear as well with what time we need to be back. She also makes a head count before departing each location to make sure the group is complete. This tour was a great value. This option had the most locations covered.
