we had such a fun day tour for all the tramples. Our tour guide number 2 did a great job, she's always full of energy during the entire tour, cheering everyone up under the hot weather. I would recommend this tour to others.

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!

Our holiday tour group had exactly 12 people, and our guide, Xiao Yang, explained the attractions clearly and was very enthusiastic. The biggest advantage of this tour is that they always find a way to pick you up from your hotel, saving you the trip to a designated meeting point. On the return trip, you can also be dropped off at a specified location in the city, which is very convenient.

I participated in September 2026 during the rainy season, amidst intermittent rain. It would be quite a demanding schedule to go on our own, but thanks to the tour, we could relax in the bus during transit and sightsee all day long. Our guide, Bee, was cheerful and kind, and spoke great Japanese! Her thoughtfulness and consideration were wonderful. Although we didn't have the chance to talk much with the driver, he made a great impression by offering umbrellas, welcoming us with a smile, and driving safely. Also, thanks to Bee's idea of taking pictures among the participants and exchanging them via AirDrop, communication blossomed, making it a very warm and friendly tour. Thank you, Bee and the driver, for a wonderful sightseeing experience in Thailand!
