Our guide Mr.Tong was so punctual and nice. He communicated everything through WhatsApp and was so helpful. The whole trip was as per the description and Mr. Tong allowed plenty time for us to explore each sites. He even suggested a lunch option which was such a beautiful place with good food. Instead of visiting all heritage temples in Ayyuthaya, this one covered both train village and floating market which was more practical and fun.

We’re a family of four with a curious 10-year-old and a thoughtful teenager, and our Ayutthaya trip couldn’t have been better thanks to Nut our amazing driver and tour guide! He made sure we were comfortable the entire day, clearly explained the itinerary, and kept everything well organized. He was very accommodating, making sure both kids were engaged and enjoying the experience. We really appreciated how hardworking he was. He took great family photos for us at every stop, and even recommended a nice place for dinner as we neared our hotel — a thoughtful way to end the day. His friendly attitude, professionalism, and insightful commentary added so much to the trip. We felt safe, relaxed, and well taken care of. Highly recommended, especially for families. Thank you for a truly memorable day!

First of all, I am very grateful that the local operator consulted with me many times when I applied for this charter. Since it was my first time in this area, I was very grateful because I didn't know the distance or time allocation. On the day, the cute driver who loves Japan took us around safely and efficiently, and we had a very enjoyable time. We decided to take a boat at the last minute at Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market, but they were happy to change the meeting time so we could have a meal and were very satisfied. We narrowed down the Ayutthaya ruins to a few places and included Wat Paknam, but they showed us places that we might not have visited if we had gone there without knowing anything, and it became a good memory. This time, we only had one day to sightsee, so we were able to go to as many places as we wanted to go on the charter, and that was really good. If I have the opportunity to go to Thailand next time, I would definitely like to ask for your help again. Thank you very much.

We had a fantastic time on our Ayutthaya Tour booked through Klook! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. A big commendation goes to our tour guide, Mr. Thana — he was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting stories about the history of Thailand during the bus ride. His storytelling made the journey enjoyable and insightful, setting the perfect tone for exploring Ayutthaya. The assistant tour guide and our driver were also very kind and professional, ensuring everything ran smoothly and comfortably throughout the trip. We felt safe, well taken care of, and appreciated the friendly atmosphere they helped create. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Thailand’s rich cultural history!
