Great day out - This was an excellent day put the journey to Ayutthaya was relative easy in the bus the guide was very good but sometimes she did start talking before all guests arrived. The boat journey back was I think the highlight of the day seeing life on the river. Normally not a big fan of a buffet lunch this changed my mind the food was fresh replenish frequently and the selection of Thai and international was well balanced

A great day trip - Ayutthaya was amazing although getting soaked to the skin in a thunderstorm was not great! ( Not the tour company's fault!) The guide - Donna- was delightful and really knowledgeable. It would be worth making a longer visit to Ayutthaya as felt there were many things we did not see

Well worth it - The best way to start my solo visit to Bangkok. The pickup from my non-pickup listed hotel, bus trip to and river cruise back from the Ayutthaya Temples was professionally timed and run. Donna (tour guide) was exceptional and knowing we were in her home “town” made the experience even more moving. I totally recommend this as a must do.
