My friends and I had Ayutthaya tour with Tina. The city feels really calm and historic. Took some photos and then went on a relaxing boat ride along the river to see more of the old town. Tina made everything easy and relaxed. Just a nice, simple day exploring Ayutthaya.

I had this tour with my mom. We visited the temples, walked around the ruins, and went on a boat ride. Bee was friendly and made sure we didn’t have to rush. Tried some snacks along the way too. Simple and fun.

Ayutthaya’s temples have this quiet beauty that just pulls you in. Walking among the old ruins, you start to feel the weight of all that history around you. Hop on a boat and drift down the river the city slows down, everything feels peaceful. It’s an easy, relaxing way to see the temples, and honestly, it just feels right.

Annie made this trip so special. She’s kind, soft-spoken, and really knows how to read the group when to talk, when to let the quiet speak for itself. We explored ancient temples surrounded by trees and calm air, then took a slow boat ride watching the sun reflect on the water. It wasn’t just sightseeing it was a day that touched the heart.

The day was exceptionally well-organized and pleasant. Tina really excelled she was personable, approachable, and her anecdotes about the ruins genuinely enhanced the experience. The temples themselves were impressive, steeped in history and elegance. If I had to pick, the afternoon boat ride stood out as the highlight: smooth sailing along the river, a refreshing breeze, and ambient music set a relaxed atmosphere. Tina ensured every detail was handled efficiently, and by day’s end, I felt I’d gained meaningful insight into Thailand’s cultural heritage.

Our family joined the Ayutthaya private tour with Tina, and she was absolutely lovely! So kind and patient, always caring and attentive to everyone. She explained everything clearly and helped my parents walk around the temples safely. The van was comfy with cool air-conditioning and cold water just perfect for the hot day. The boat ride was our favorite part calm water, beautiful views, and a few laughs with Tina. Such a special family memory!
