Best package all in one experience - We never thought it was possible to have a marketing plan whilst floating on a boat. Truly unique and enjoyable. They have markets with nice souvenirs and restaurants too with tasty foods we tried chicken Paneng.

Value for money! So much to see all in 1 day - A full day packed with a lot! You can choose a hotel pick up if your hotel is in the areas offered otherwise you can catch a grab for $22-26 Thai baht to the meeting point. It’s a 630am start as you leave the city and head to the Maekong railway market, Damnoen Saduak Floating market and then to the temples of Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Siam. The Railway market is a cool experience with the train passing by at slow speed inches away from you. The markets have some cool arts and crafts to purchase or enjoy a coffee at one of the many cafes. Once at the floating markets you bored a Sampan where they take you along the canals where you can stop and purchase food or arts and crafts. You can even have your photo taken with a python, eeek! The ancient city of Ayutthaya was built in 1350 and lasted for about 670 years belonging to the Ayutthaya empire until it was burnt to the ground under order of the Burmese King. The place has been declared a UNESCO heritage site. We also made a couple stops- a coconut factory and orchid farm and lunch was included. Great value! Be prepared to spend 10-12 hours from start to finish. Our guide “Bird” was funny and informative. So much knowledge to share. Thank you 🙏

All in - Great package if you have only one day to discover things out of Bangkok. Bird was an amazing guide. Worth to select this tour but count with 10 hours!

Fantastic and Lovely Experience - I enjoyed the floating market, the railway station and the shrines visit in Ayutthaya. The shuttle picked us up promptly on time and we were lucky that our entire tour group were on time. The tour guide was enthusiastic and gave super clear instructions. Lunch to us was good and we had fried rice, pad Thai, chicken curry, soup, cake and watermelon. Best part of the tour was that they provided bottled water on the bus and during lunch time. Travel time on bus was long but we had a good start as tour started 6am.

Stunning ruins - This tour was a great way to learn more about the history of Thailand, and the ruins we visited were stunning. Our guide, Bird, was very knowledgeable and very funny, and was able to answer any questions. This tour paired especially well with the walking tour of the main temples in Bangkok that we did the day before. Highly recommend!

Excellent all in one day tour - This was an excellent tour with Luke! The hotel pickup went smoothly, and we arrived at the railway around 8am and waited for the 8:30am train. Then, we made our way to the floating market, and arrived around 9:15 and did the boat tour for roughly 45 minutes. After a 2.5 hour bus ride, we had lunch around 1:30pm near Ayuthaya, and visited 3 temple areas thereafter. We were back around 7pm in Bangkok. It would have been earlier of there was no traffic but it seems traffic of Bangkok is inescapable.

Long day but worth it - Our guide Bird was excellent, all timings were accurate. Lunch was fine. More time needed at Ayutthaya as this felt a little rushed. The only negative was the quality of the bus, very little leg room and some passengers did not fit their legs behind the seats. Worth doing to see these sights in one day.

Endless day - We chose this excursion to see as many things as possible during the day. The morning went pretty well , the rail and floating market were nice to do. Our guide was very nice, but the round trip to Ayuttaya was endless, I regret choosing this excursion. Exhausting day

Very bad experience with Viator. - Tour operators neglected the responsibility, and missed the whole trip, and lunch that was supposed to include with the trip. As part of Viator Booking company did not have policies to protect customers.
