A great experience and definitely worth a trip! - Everything about this trip was great. Very punctual hotel pick-up, nice, large, air-conditioned bus, a super great guide (Farst or First), who was not only very informative, but also very fun and affable and spoke excellent English... Ayutthaya is definitely worth a trip!! Also the return trip by boat including lunch buffet and coffee/tea was great. Return transfer to the hotel also included. we booked the tour on site in Bangkok.

Interesting day trip - Really interesting day out to see the remains of the ancient city with a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who explained the different buildings and helped us to understand the full history of the city. Boat ride back to Bangkok was lovely too.

An amazing learning experience - We really enjoyed seeing a bit more of the city of Bangkok as we drove out and especially from the river boat on the return journey. The UNESCO historic sites we visited were fascinating and very beautiful.
Our guide Donna and bus driver were fantastic!

Very happy with our tour - The tour guide Donna was wonderful, and the river cruise with a lunch buffet exceeded our expectations. The bus was air conditioned and we were given plenty of water. Lots of opportunities for photos.

Highly recommended - Fantastic tour and tour guide. First (the tour guide) speaks good English, he has a good sense of humour and he's very knowledgeable. What differentiates this Ayutthaya tour from the rest is the river cruise on the way back to Bangkok. Not only it avoids Bangkok's heavy traffic but it's also an excellent way to see another aspect of the city. Plus the buffet lunch was delicious. Would recommend.

Unesco Temple visit with cruise on Chao phraya - Our Driver pick us up from Hotel and bring us to the meeting point at River City Center and from there we board the bus with others for an hour drive to Ayutthaya town. Ms Donna was a cheerful guide with clear explanations about the Trip and brief history of the areas visited. The lunch on board the cruise was yummy and atmosphere pleasant on board.

Well organised tour - Compact tour that doesn't miss out on the main attractions. Hour travel time from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and another hour from Ayutthaya to the river. River cruise was lovely with a large spread of food.
