5.00We really enjoyed this afternoon tour to Ayutthaya. The guide made sure we found the meeting point easily, which was very helpful. The lunch package was well thought out and more than enough. The small bus was nicely decorated and comfortable. Our guide’s English wasn’t perfect, but he told really interesting stories about everyday Thai life, society, and the history of the temples. Everything at the sights was well organized, and the temples we visited were great choices.
We enjoyed every moment

1.00The Viator booking was fine, it was the tour operator at fault. I had organised a pick up at the hotel, and the day before it got changed to a meeting point, the email went to Spam so I didn't get the chance. I'm wonder how many didn't make the trip? And they wont refund. Tour company Pattaya tour company, dont book with them
Awesome!

5.00Awesome private tour. So much deep history and amazing to walk amongst the ruins if this historical place. Our tour guide, Oat, was exceptional. His knowledge was incredible and he was really personable and funny. Lunch was delicious, Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai and definitely try the Papaya Salad! Oat knew all the best places to take photos and kept us ahead of the big tour groups so it wasn't crowded.
amazing experience

5.00What an awesome experience! Visited several places and tried a variety of authentic foods. My tour guide knew a lot about the history of the foods, culture, and Chinatown. Some of the places we off the beaten path, local establishments which made the experience even better. I even got to make my own Pattaya salad! I would recommend this tour everytime you come to Bangkok!
