This is probably the best way to visit the area, with a coach ride up to the ruins and then a relaxing cruise with lunch on the way back. Our guide Donna, was very good, explaining the history of the area and making everyone just relax and enjoy. Plenty of free time to walk around the variouse ruins to take in everything without feeling Sheppard.
Donna made happy memories.

Donna was knowledgeable, friendly and caring. Ayutthaya was her home town - her stories of Thai Culture and Buddhism were inspiring. She looked after us very well. The cruise was relaxing and the buffet delicious. The commentary on the cruise ( by Donna ) was delicious. Will be a happy memory.
Avoid this one at all cost

Failed to pick us up from hotel as promised and I had to message many times to find out what was going on. Eventually I had to take a taxi to meet a coach full of others who had been collected. At one point someone from the company called me and asked to speak to the taxi driver. They had a long conversation on speaker phone ..in Thai..then staff member hung up without saying what was going on or speaking to me again. On my phone !! Very very bad manners. Just Rude. The day went off ok but on the cruise home , I stood up from lunch to find that my trousers were soaking wet from the hem to mid calf and the floor was flooded. Staff just shrugged and said burst pipe. My rucksack was also on the floor and it and its contents were soaking wet. Total failure of a day.
