The Buddies Tour – Felt Like Hanging Out With Old Friends
Gulenay1,Apr 19, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00From the moment they picked us up at our hotel to the moment they dropped us back off, The Buddies Tour took care of everything. They genuinely listened to what we wanted and looked out for us all day — I could finally switch off and just enjoy myself. What makes them stand out is how effortlessly they balance being professional with being genuinely fun. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with friends you haven’t seen in a while. And they are so funny! I’d recommend The Buddies Tour to absolutely everyone. Don’t hesitate — just book it!
Local knowledge and history was a cut above

5.00This was an incredible tour with both guides very knowledgeable and provided a much more exciting tour that was more unscripted and so much fun. They knew historical facts and figures that made the tour even better while not just being a droning tour guide. Highly highly recommend!

5.00Was definitely worth the price, Nadeem and Art was a very funny tour guide and took me to an amazing local food spot. They also went above and beyond by taking me to a festival in the Ayutthya even though the tour was over I appreciate it very much.
