5.00Elena was extremely responsive in communicating with me via text, answering my questions thoroughly to create a perfect Ayutthaya day trip for two adults with six children, aged 5-17. Our tour guide, Jazzy, was amazing, providing a breadth of historical and virtual information with humor and joy that engaged all of us. Even the five year old was asking questions! Our lunch stop, Old City Coffee, recommended by Elena, reserved tables for us and were very patient with all of our questions regarding Thai cuisine, spicy levels, etc. The food was very fresh and artistically presented, while still maintaining budget-friendly prices. Our driver was very safe. He provided cold water bottles after each temple stop and even handed each of us ice-cold face wipes to use after our hikes amongst the ruins. Thanks to Elena’s research, she discovered a 40- minute boat tour around the city that was running a great promotion. We loved a chance to see the ruins and current city from the water, while resting our feet and enjoying the breeze. I recommend Elena, Jazzy and her touring company without reservation and hope to go on further excursions with them again!
