Amazing tour! - Amazing experience!!! One of the best tours I’ve ever taken. The highlight of this tour was Wat Yai Chaimongkhon (historic Ayutthaya). Wat Mahathat was also amazing, with the Buddha’s head covered by tree roots. The tour guide was very engaging.

really great private tour - I went on this tour with my husband in November, and I highly recommend it. We were picked up from our hotel in the morning-- our guide, Lucky, was waiting in the lobby. We had a big van to ourselves, so the journey out to Ayutthaya was very comfortable. Lucky was a really great guide. I highly recommend her. She spoke English really well and was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. She also gave us a lot of insight into Thai society, culture, history, and spoke in depth with us on many topics that interested us, beyond just the attractions we were seeing. We really felt like we learned so much about Thailand from her. Lucky would also identify good photo spots and take pictures for us, which I really appreciated. Our driver (unfortunately, I don't remember his name), was super friendly and an excellent driver. He was always quick to rush out to open the door for us and always had ice cold bottles of water ready for us when we got back into the van. As for the attractions themselves, we went to every place listed on the tour, and felt like we had an adequate amount of time to enjoy it all. The tour included a lunch and we were able to choose whatever we wanted on the menu offered. We thought the food was quite good. Definitely a worthwhile day trip from Bangkok, especially if you are interested in ruins, and if you have a day to spare. I would totally choose the private tour again!

Well worth the drive from Bangkok. - Seeing the reclining Buddha being renovated and the huge number of Buddha's and shrines that there used to be. The Summer Palace was beautiful.

Ayutthaya - Must See in Thailand - Such a beautiful and nice place. Good for soul-searching and be at peace. I visited this place in March of 2024 with my IMG Community. I took beautiful photos and one of Thailand's must see scenic spots. I will surely visit again and will recommend this place to friends and families visiting Thailand.

Waste of money and time - The worst tour we’ve ever been on. Our tour guide clearly didn’t care whether we were enjoying ourselves. Her vocabulary seemed to consist of no more than 100 words, which she repeated for hours on end. To make matters worse, she wore a face mask that covered her face from below the eyes to under her chin, and large sunglasses that made the entire experience feel bizarre. She was completely incapable of walking and talking at the same time. We frequently stopped in the middle of nowhere to listen to the same 100 words, often standing in +40°C heat with no shade. She made no effort to find shade or to walk and talk simultaneously, which made the tour physically exhausting. The experience was boring, non-educational, and frustratingly slow. It’s taken me more than six months to process this and write a review, but I can confidently say this was the worst tour my spouse and I’ve ever attended.
