5.00This is a great tour! A bit of the history of Thailand, visiting the palace grounds and a few different temples. Ending with lunch and a boat ride was just perfect. We had a large group with 2 vans. Our tour guide, Sasha, was the BEST! Very knowledgeable about all the sites, helpful from the day before all the way through our day. There was a lot of walking and Sasha helped us secure a golf cart at one location and made seating available at another site. She was so thoughtful and organized - able to keep our party together the whole time. It was a great adventure!

5.00Our guide was very good. He was energetic and knowledgeable. I think we spent exactly the right amount of time at each site. It was a lot to see in one day. The boat trip through the canals and river was really fun. It was great to see the temples and houses along the waterways.

5.00I had an amazing experience on the Bangkok Ayutthaya Temples with my family. From the moment we departed, everything was well-organized and smooth. The temples in Ayutthaya were absolutely stunning, each one rich with history and architectural beauty. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating stories that brought the ancient ruins to life.
