Highlights
  • Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam) - Travel from Bangkok in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to your first stop in Ayutthaya, Wat Lokayasutha. This incredible temple is known for its giant reclining Buddha image, astoundingly one of the few structures left intact here.
  • Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Your next stop is Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, being part of the royal palace complex this is where royalty performed rituals. It is considered the most important temple of Ayutthaya.
  • Wat Mahathat - Then, visit Wat Mahathat Ayutthaya. One of the oldest and most significant temples in the history of Ayutthaya, it once housed the Buddha’s holy relic. Admire the famous Buddha head entwined within the roots of a Bodhi tree.
  • Wat Chaiwatthanaram - Last but not least, finish your trip at the grand, riverside Wat Chaiwattanaram. Marvel at its compelling architectural style, influenced by the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, as you wander around the monumental grounds.

great experience! - William was a great tour guide! we visit all the places that were mentioned in the tour and the lunch was in a delicious local restaurant. He made sure everyone knew the schedule for each place with the departures so everyone was back on the van on time to continue with the adventure. At the end of the tour he gave us lots of recommendations on how to move around, where to go next and tours that we would enjoy. Would highly recommend it 10/10!

Very well organized and structured trip. - Very well organized and structured trip. Visited four site in Ayutthaya with each being about 45 minutes divided 15 minutes guide introduction and 30 minutes free time which was a good balance. Long overlooking one of the temples was basic but pleasant with a couple of choices (I'm a picky eater but was fine). Guide was excellent. Group size I think was 16 with four no shows. One point, which I view as a positive is that the trip runs to time. Check in 7am to 7.20 and scheduled departure 7.30 ( we actually left 7.40). The point being don't be late.

Memorable experience - Great day exploring the Ayutthaya Temple ruins. There is so much history to uncover. Our tour guide Sam was a wealth of knowledge and made the experience really enjoyable. Like much at a local spot was delicious too.

Beautiful day in Ayutthaya - We are so glad we chose this tour, it was a beautiful experience and gave us the opportunity to learn more about Thai culture and visit some stunning places. Our guide, Paul, was great he taught us a lot about Thailand and the temples we visited. The pick up is very early in the morning around 7.30am and return to Bangkok around 2.30/3pm. This tour is a must to do if you are in Bangkok as it gives you the chance to see the beautiful Ayutthaya and its temples! Plenty of time to visit them and lunch included too!

Nice trip to the temples - Pickup was 10mins earlier than said and then brought us to a global collection point where we were joined with other minibusses. There were 22 people in our group, so wouldn't really call it small group =-) Our guide Paul was very funny and explained things very well, at each temple we had exactly enough free time to go around and take pictures. We were back in bangkok around 15h and they drop you at the main shopping mall.

Half day trip - This location is further out from Bangkok. This was part of a large group tour. The guide was good and informative. We decided it wasn't worth spending a half day to go to these temples. The lunch stop was terrible. Both of us didn't like the food and barley even ate it. If you go to these temples I would recommend not going on a tour that includes lunch.
