Truly private and worth the extra money. - This tour was worth the extra money. It was truly private with only the two of us on the tour. Getting picked up and dropped off at your hotel was the best. When you're done with this tour, you're tired an figuring out how to get home can't be fun. Our guide, First, was amazing. He was so knowledgable of the sights we saw and made each sight so interesting. One of the best things he did was left us alone after giving some background. It was nice to wander where we wanted and at our own pace without a guide saying move along like the bigger tours. The cruise ship ride back was very relaxing and the chef who prepared the buffet was very talented and made fantastic dishes with many being out of the ordinary. I liked it because I could try somethings I'd never had before. Have you ever had a banana flower? I can say I have. I'll always look for these private tours, knowing how wonderful they can be.

Our guide made this tour an experience to remember - Our guide, First, was punctual, knowledgeable and funny. We were picked up at the hotel and the guide explained what the tour will entail. We were concerned about the timing of the return because we had to catch an evening flight out of Bangkok. The guide immediately changed the return route where the van would take us directly to the airport instead of taking us back to the hotel - which alleviated our concerns about the notorious Bangkok traffic. The mini van ride in both directions was smooth, and so was the cruise. We visited the Summer Palace, the ancient temples of Ayutthaya and the Chao Sam Phraya Museum, each one a highlight in its own right. The guide, an Ayutthaya native, gave us not only the historic background but also sprinkled the explanations with his personal experiences and commentary which made the visit so much more relatable for all of us. I highly recommend this tour.
