Ayutthaya, the ancient... - Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Siam, is well worth a visit, especially if you’ve seen the Bangkok temples in all their grandeur and sparkling beauty. The trip back us on a river boat; you get a delicious meal (included in the price) and can enjoy the views of the city.

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.

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!
