5.00Was very flexible in pulling together a solid schedule and things to see/experience while we were in Ayutthaya. Great knowledge of history that provided good insights and perspectives about Thailand over the many centuries.

5.00The full day trip was rich experience, the tour guide Bonni, she was very active and helped everybody take pictures. The morning is a bit rush, because the Bangkok traffic is beyond worse. If you stay outside of the walking distance, better give half an hour cushion to your schedule.
A wonderful, highly informative and thought provoking tour. ur with a guide who clearly knew and loved

5.00Jeerawat was the perfect guide, giving us lots of information about the places we were visiting. It made me really interested to learn more about Thai history, which I did not expect. When we stopped for food, Jeerewat helped us choose food from the extensive menu, and the food was very tasty! I chose a meal for one, which came as 5 dishes. I thought it would be like Spanish tapas, but a MOUNTAIN of food was presented to me, all of which was delicious. The restaurant staff put the remaining food into "doggy bags" for me, so I was able to enjoy it again later.
An Enjoyable , Educative and Entertaining tour

5.00It was an above beyond tour, we were 6 people, and Mr. Marut an amazing guide, making all the extra miles to have our trip perfect. He shared historical details, showed hidden gems, and managed to reach places, where others cant. We have visited 4 temples and Summer Palace started at 8 am and reached back to Bangkok around 5 pm. It was an instensive and efficient trip. The mini van was very comfortable, the Driver also excellent, and they provided cold water also. The tour was extremelly well designed and organized. 10/11.
Awesome visit to the palace and temples!

Fern from Tripguru was...

5.00Fern from Tripguru was such a fun tour guide. Very expressive, funny, and easy to understand. She always offerwd to take pictures and got really great angles. She made the bus rides go by quickly with the deep history of Thai royalty and Buddhism. The tour moves fast, approximately 30-40 minutes at each stop so less in depth more broad overviews. It was very very hot so bring extra water or buy at each stop and the lightest weight appropriate clothing you can find.
Great attractions, bad guide.

2.00The experience was well worth it. The problem we had was the guide Marut’s English was atrocious so we were left guessing what was being said.
Excellent Tour
