Wonderful time! - Kit did an amazing job! He was great at explaining the history of each place and answering our questions.

A must while in Bangkok! - Outstanding experience! Our tour guide Benjamat and our driver took us on a beautiful adventure that included the summer palace and Ayutthaya. Along the way we had lunch and the opportunity to see the ancient capital of Siam. Transportation was private and clean with cold bottles of water and flower offerings provided as you continued.

Great tour! - So fascinating! We really loved seeing this ancient city. The summer palace was really surprising. A great day

Excellent tour and guide, average food - Benjamat, our guide, was awesome she was extremely knowledgeable about the area and very flexible with our request to add an extra site to the tour. The car was very clean and the driver was prompt, helpful and safe. The only slight downside of this tour is the food provided is a buffet which was a little disappointing compared to some of the other tours.

Comfortable and on point tour - The personal touch and individual pace of the tour There was a lot to take in but it was all nicely tailored to our interest and time constraints. The tour managed to indulge us in a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant and took care of all our entrance fees to the venues. Our tour guide Joy was well informed and kept the conversation informative and exciting. Thank you Viator. Keep up the good work

Ancient Thai Capital Experience - Wonderful guide and driver! The ancient capital was worth seeing and learning g about. The inclusion of lunch is fine but the restaurant was not a good one and the language barrier got in the way of a better dining experience. Please consider a Fixed Items lunch for this tour. Too much confusion currently

Really depends on the guide - The places we went to were wonderful. My issue was with the guide, who seemed to lack professionalism. She asked the driver to stop at an weekend open market. I was happy to see a very local market, versus a tourist-oriented one. However, she started shopping, complete ignoring me, and I ended up waiting for her at the entrance. Fortunately, the driver saw me and called her, and she came running, carrying many bags. At the historical site, I could tell she was tired, and she tried to rush me, but I told her to sit and wait for me as I walked around to take more pictures. I was disappointed with the guide, but I was very impressed with the driver who was much more considerate of me, and that was the reason for the extra star rating.

English speaking guide lacked language skills - This was a convenient way to explore Ayutthaya - air conditioned car took us to all the sites. Very pleasant driver and guide. The sites are definitely worth visiting. This company delivered the itinerary as promised and lunch was at a local restaurant. The guide was a really nice man called Watch and we learned about life in Thailand and his family on the one hour drive. However, this tour was an expensive way to see Ayutthaya and we had paid the high fee as it meant we would have our own English speaking guide. As nice as Watch was, his English was very limited and it meant he could not share the history of Ayutthaya with us. We certainly couldn’t ask questions as he didn’t understand the questions. He was very keen to photograph us at every temple to prove we had been there, but we could have done that ourselves. Most photos were taken on his phone and he promised to send us the photos by email, but he hasn’t! I’m not really happy that he has all these photos on his phone. I do think that if you book a private tour with an English speaking guide then you really should be able to expect a pretty fluent and knowledgeable English speaker. Being a nice person doesn’t make up for the lack of language skills.

Guide not to High Standard - Happy with the transportation, however the guide language level (English) and knowledge was very poor. Whilst the guide (Wat) is a nice man, in conversation he revealed he became a guide 3 months ago, securing the job via a friend. He has no guide experience. This was clear during the day trip. He knew very limited and vague information on the sites history and was not able to answer my questions. I basically relied on information around the sites. I was also disappointed with the approach to lunch. We were taken to Mong Doo Ruea Restaurant. Certainly looked nice but our guide Wat informed us our budget was limited to 400 BHT for 2 persons, which eliminated much of the menu. Given the tour costs over 300 EUR (almost 11000 BHT) one would think a sufficient part of that will go towards lunch. In summary - we did not get our money worth. We basically paid 11000 BHT for a driver and entrance tickets, with limitations placed on our lunch and a guide who had insufficient knowledge and grasp of English. If the tour operator reads this review, at the very least they should consider a partial refund. But I doubt they will.

Horrible guide - The tour itself was ok, but the guide, jackie, not so much. Throughout the day i noticed he was smelling some plastic bottle that smelled like a strong vicky vaporub. Later he told me it was a "thai medicine" for when you are tired, so basically a legal high. On the ride back he was snorting it every 30 seconds, to the point the car was smelling like it after 15min. And then he started talking a lot about bars, girls, massages, really unprofessional and disgusting!!!
