5.00I had Cherry as my guide. She’s full of info and history. She made sure I enjoyed my experience by buying bread so I could feed the fish and turtle. She also got a musical toy for me too. The driver was also very nice and kind. They shared their snacks with me on what was not only a long drive, but also hot. Would recommend.
Great family day trip.

3.00This tour started out pretty frustrating because the night before last we emailed the Viator operator to confirm the 8:30 am time. When morning came we received a phone call through WhatsApp at 8:06 am and the tour guide yelling over the phone asking us where are we and he had been waiting for a while. Mind you this yelling charade continue when we met up with him at the hotel lobby before 8:30 schedule confirm time. We are not sure how Thailand tour guide operates but in the Western world regardless the customer is in the wrong, you should never yelling at your paying customer. The entire 10 hours we felt that our tour guide is the boss and we are just to follow him and listen to what he said. We had such a hard time understanding him due to is thick accent. We love all the history of Ayutthaya a d enjoy all the scenery, but the tour guide makes it hard to give this tour anything more than a 3 stars.
Our guide was very...

5.00I had a great experience visiting Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour was very well organized and everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Our guide, Tank, was excellent. He was very attentive and took the time to explain the history of the city in a clear and engaging way. You could really tell he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of Ayutthaya. It was a very interesting and enjoyable visit, and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of this beautiful place.
