Well, where do I start? We met and from there it slowly declined. I'd been in Bangkok for 4 days. The hustle and bustle, expected. Started by get one of those Hop on hop off boat tickets. Around £3.50. Excellent value. Jumped off... 30 minutes in the market, next stop. So on and so forth from one end to the other in Iconsiam. Impressive. Many temples and markets along the way. On my last day I decided to do this tour as a wind down before going to Koh Samui. Upon getting on the bus, we were informed that there would be no boat trip, something had happened the day before. Unforeseen, I understand. We started by going to...a temple, I expected that , then to another. The Buddha. Ok. My frustration is rising. We then went to a market. De ja vu. Then yet another temple as a replacement for the boat trip. I understand that the incident was beyond their control, but I would suggest they find an alternative that is not more of the same. Just a bit of variety would have been nice.

Although the guide was cheerful and knowledgeable the whole tour lacked substance. The coach seat was broken and the AC patchy. Being given a bottle of water on the return journey was a sad gesture when that would have been much appreciated earlier during the tour. The first Temple we visited was colorful and interesting, the others were only viewed from the boat. The images shown on the tour promotion were misleading and bear no resemblance to the actual tour, especially the boat which was uncomfortable and nothing like the picture. Having young girls in the boat who were not staff members was inappropriate. Overall this was a waste of time and money!
our team building became better with this

Jira is a wise and sweet guide with lots of love for Thailand! We did tour with 9 people as a team building. Aged 25-39 We had the best time visiting temples and listening to the history alongside with the tour. Girls wore traditional Thai dress too :) Yhank you Jira for being so prepared and through!
Great Experience

It was a little hot walking down to the hotel for the tour pickup as the tour bus doesn't come to the individual hotels of customers. It took over an hour to get outside of Bangkok, but it was certainly worth it. My tour guide was very animated and engaging as he led us around three major pagoda temple areas followed by a sunset boat ride. Unlike several other temple areas that I visited, the temple areas were extremely old in age but still in good condition. I learned a lot from this tour!
Very enjoyable excursion with a knowledgeable guide, Johnny, who has a great sense of humor.

Johnny was very professional, answering all our questions, providing much history of the Ayutthaya city. The schedule worked well. The boat ride to the last temple was fun. The second boat scheduled was not available, but a replacement was quickly found, such that no time was lost.
Fun guide and informative!!

Our guide, Jom had great energy, the occasional salacious joke, and kept the group inclusive - he would wait for us to congregate before explaining about certain spots. He also kept everything going with a smile! Truly energetic and a wonderful trip to see temples you wouldn’t normally see in Bangkok. Would recommend to others seeking a getaway from the city life!
Gaito is wonderful! Recommended for those who want to get around Ayutthaya efficiently

The guide's older brother was very kind and I felt relieved just seeing his smiling face. Thai people's smiles are really nice. I was able to visit the main tourist spots in Ayutthaya at a good pace. It was a 45 minute boat ride, but looking at the restaurants and shops along the river reminded me of the way people lived in Ayutthaya in the past. Although the tour is in English, I think you can enjoy it as long as you have basic English skills.
