Our small group was very satisfied with our tour. We had the pleasure of having Phi Billy as our driver/guide/photographer - very knowledgeable, cheerful, helpful and always made sure we took great photos. It is advisable to take the private instead of joiner tours as you can arrange small changes in the itenerary with your guide. The tour is in the afternoon so it was very hot but the transport vehicle was very comfortable and air conditioning was cool. The best part of the tour was meeting a real live elephant up close and taking pictures aboard a boat with a Wat and sunset in the background. It was truly an experience for us.

I participated in this tour on the fourth day of my five-day trip to Bangkok. Even though I was traveling alone, the guide was very attentive, and I was able to connect with other participants, so I never felt lonely. The guide also explained the historical background of the ruins, which I, as someone who enjoys such things, found very satisfying. I thought that if I had taken this tour on my first or second day in Bangkok, I might have enjoyed visiting the temples in the city even more. It was also great that the guide took photos for me, helping me create lasting memories. Additionally, I appreciated that this tour started early in the morning and concluded around 3-4 PM. This allowed me to buy souvenirs and get a massage after the tour. It was a hot day, so I was grateful that they provided water and cold towels. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Our guide Apple was efficient at showing us the sights and giving context and history. We appreciated her sense of humor and she took great care of our group making sure to take photos of each of us. Great value for the tour. If you have limited time and want a quick way to see some of the main attractions in Ayutthaya, this is a great tour to book. Thank you Apple for taking care of us.

It was great that we could easily get to Ayutthaya by car, and the guide spoke Korean, so it was easy to understand the explanations. However, the guide mentioned that it would be nice to give the driver nail tips at the end of the tour, but it's not mandatory, so just keep that in mind.

I chose this tour because I wanted to visit both Ayutthaya and Amphawa, each of which is located on the opposite side of the other. I'm glad I found a package that offers a tour to both places. We had a little too much time at Amphawa I felt like, it would have been nice if we could have squeezed in a little visit to the nearby Maeklong Train Market. The driver was very nice and helpful. I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Ayutthaya and Amphawa just like we did!

I definitely suggest to book this if you want a customized Ayutthaya Tour and not feel rushed at each location. We chose to visit 2 landmarks (Wat Yai Chai Mongkol and Wat Mahathat) + an amazing cafe (The Summer Coffee - Old Town). We were travelling with seniors so the pacing is comfortable for the group. Khun Somsak (our driver) was very helpful and drove safely. He even suggested a good lunch place and gave us tips where to book Grab when he dropped us off at Platinum Mall (we changed the drop off point from hotel to Platinum). Thank you for a memorable trip!

I highly recommend everyone purchase this tour. The driver and tour guide is very professional, a super nice person who kept helping us take pictures. Even though we went overtime taking pictures, they didn't rush us. Of course, we tipped generously! Highly recommended! 👍👍👍
