Enjoyed this day - If you are not looking to see more than 2 temples, this is a lovely chilled day exploring the new city. Cindy was awesome and super informative. The team was punctual, provided water and fans to bear the heat. Just check the temples the tour covers are the actual temples you want to see. The temples are actually far away from each other so if the tour doesn’t explicitly say they will be taking you there, you won’t see it even in passing.

Excellent half day trip - Our tour guide Johnny was fenomenal! Such a well spoken, entertaining, funny guy with a excellent knowledge of Thai history and culture. Even though, Ayutthaya seems not that impressive (straight after visiting Angkor Wat) we had an amazing time on this trip!! Highly recommended!

Temples, a Street Market, and Sunset on the River! - This was an enjoyable tour to the north of Jakarta. The temple tours were fascinating, and a visit to a local street market was fun where I had the best spring rolls ever! All of this was followed by a beautiful sunset boat ride on the river. We had a great guide named Oh. She is one of the reasons that the tour was so good.

Afternoon Ride to Ayutthaya - Nice trip to Ayuttayah - good option to do it in the afternoon as the Morning Trips start between 6-7:30 am. Our guide Jom (Johnny) was very funny, friendly and helpful. Also a bis thanks to our driver Charming.

Fantastic experience capped off by sunset boat ride and very friendly host! - Overall, a fantastic experience. Host Johnny was superb in his communication and background/history of wider Bangkok as well as specific tour locations. Bus and facilities were clean and tidy, and water was provided. Three locations are fantastic, however boat ride and final temple definitely the highlight. Approx 1.5hr travel time to/from temples only main consideration, made a bit more pleasant by Johnny's history lessons and humour. Only other one was no food was provided, which was listed as an inclusion (water was) however each temple has food/drink stalls available. Temple facilities were clean and tidy and believe 5THB for toilet use. No wait time and our host paid for all entry. Smaller tour group was nice.

Good experience - Good trip but cold water would have been nice. Jonny was great and the driver was good as well. The temple at sunset was beautiful.

Missed sunset in Ayutthaya - A disappointing tour for us. The guide Johnny was excellent, and the sights in Ayutthaya are to behold. Unfortunately, the tour was overbooked for the number of guides assigned, and the only assigned guide, Johnny, was split covering those of us in the minivan and also a larger group on a separate bus. There was a second assigned tour guide "intern" who was very nice, but unfortunately did not have the experience or knowledge as Johnny and, therefore, spoke very little. Additionally, the river boat we boarded near the end of the tour broke down and we spent most of our boat ride bobbing in the water waiting for a second boat to come rescue us. By the time the second boat arrived, and we were taken to the final temple, sunset had already passed and our time to explore the final temple was shortened significantly. We have experienced many tours and know unplanned events happen. Additionally, we didn't fault Johnny because he did the best he could given the situation. However, in this case, it was disappointing there was no acknowledgement or follow up by the tour company.

Good time management, needs improvements in information about the sites visited. - The tour was well thought of, however, not enough information about the sites was provided, just basics. The part on the bout - the guide was in one of two boats, providing some explanation just to a few people around him. It would be nice if the guides would have a microphone so everybody could hear the talk.

Very uncomfortable riding - The tour guide was ok and the views were amazing. Unfortunately this travel agency has a poor organization and what’s worse, when the tour ended, they had a small van to return people to their dropping off points and there was not enough space for me. They didn’t have a seat, we were 4 in a 3 seating space at the back of the van. It was a very very bad 1.30 hs ride from the temples to BKK city. I recommend you find an agency that guarantees the seat you’ve paid for.
