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 was extremely pleased with this tour from start to finish. The itinerary and the sites were phenomenal and truly a must see for anyone coming to Thailand. Our guide Aoy is the one who really made it even better with amazing knowledge of every place we went to and the history and explanation for everything. I learned so much from Aoy I felt I received so much value out of it. Even beyond the sites, Aoy gave such good information and advice to everyone about all aspects of Thailand relevant for a tourist from food, customs, getting around, etc. The bus driver was also extremely friendly and professional. I highly recommend this activity.

We have a wonderful private tour to Ayutthaya. Our driver Nui did a good job. He is responsible and passionate about his job as our driver and tour guide too. He explained history stories and took a lots of photos for us. The lunch at the prawn restaurant was delicious and good value for money. He also got us the famous local snack “Roti Sai Mai” which he got from the original shop. Sweet and delicious! At the end of the tour, it suddenly rained when we were at the boat for the sunset view. He insisted to wait for a moment. Quite a miracle the weather turned fine after a while. Our boat has been able to start again and we enjoyed the most beautiful sunset with the backdrop of the Ayutthaya ancient temples! Thank you 🙏

Itinerary: The tour included historical introductions and interesting stories, which made it much more enjoyable than just a quick look around. For lunch, we were given many options, and we chose a riverside restaurant where the food was delicious and the ambiance was excellent. Comfort: The vehicle was equipped with water and small fans, which was great. Our guide also allowed us plenty of free time (for rest). Guide: Q was fantastic, and we had a wonderful experience all day. Thanks to Q's planning, we even got to see fireflies despite a light rain in the evening! Group Size: 4 people
