Highly recommended - Fantastic tour and tour guide. First (the tour guide) speaks good English, he has a good sense of humour and he's very knowledgeable. What differentiates this Ayutthaya tour from the rest is the river cruise on the way back to Bangkok. Not only it avoids Bangkok's heavy traffic but it's also an excellent way to see another aspect of the city. Plus the buffet lunch was delicious. Would recommend.

Unesco Temple visit with cruise on Chao phraya - Our Driver pick us up from Hotel and bring us to the meeting point at River City Center and from there we board the bus with others for an hour drive to Ayutthaya town. Ms Donna was a cheerful guide with clear explanations about the Trip and brief history of the areas visited. The lunch on board the cruise was yummy and atmosphere pleasant on board.

Visit the temples - Magnificent place, it's a shame that we still exploit the elephants if not a nice guide who even offered my daughter a small elephant key.
Too bad French is not spoken6

Awesome temples - The Ayutthaya temples were great. Must see. Great experience and not too far from Bangkok.
Always wanted to see where the movie kixkboxer starring Jean Claude van damme was filmed.

Well organised tour - Compact tour that doesn't miss out on the main attractions. Hour travel time from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and another hour from Ayutthaya to the river. River cruise was lovely with a large spread of food.

Good view of history - Ancient city visitjng riins was interstjng.
Lunch on cruise was delicious.
Downside: Large bus group meant Waiting for others. Will do pruvate tour next time. Picked up.630 and didn't leave til 8. Very hot! Need to pay for toilets .. take small denominations of baht.
Hard to hear/understand guide. Take morning tea maybe & take water. They buy you 1 bottle there.
The cruise back was relaxing. Hot upstairs. But scenic. At lunch you join large table with others from cruise.
Finished on time back at hitel by 4pm. Wouldn't need any longer. Was good day.
