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!

Mr Phan, our driver is wonderful guy. He informed us all the things to see, to do or to take note. He even ran to specific places to take photo of us. Very happy with his service and the next trip we're back, we will definitely ask for him.. 😄😄😄

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.

Mr Cat picked us up on time. The van was tidy and comfortable. He recommended cheap places to eat (cheap food but all tasty!) He gave us overview of the places we had visited and whenever he find it hard to explain things to us, he opted to use google translate. Even informed us that it was much cheaper to ride elephants in Ayutthaya so my kids did! Highly recommended!

We had Mr. Thana as a guide and he was outstanding. Great knowledge and good explanations. Historical knowledge was helpful and very friendly. He took pictures in the best places and also gave us time on our own to explore. I would recommend asking for him!
