Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Well organised and worthwhile trip. Crowded and quirky. Very comfortable travel there and back with a knowledgeable and friendly guide.

    Beautiful tour with Wan, who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Ayutthaya and patiently answered all my questions. I recommend going for the tour that leaves early morning as a bit less hot and a bit less crowded.

    Only comment I'd point out is that we saw some elephants that were carrying passengers on the pavement. Given how hot the pavement is, one feels pity for these poor animals.

    Overall, left with a much better understanding of the culture and history of Thailand, thank you Wan!

    I had one full day in Bangkok and decided to try to find a private guide, so I didn't have to deal with a group tour schedule and could do the things that I wanted to on my own pace. I was paired with Gwen. I appreciated that she came a little early and we chatted before taking off about the things I wanted to prioritize seeing, what kind of commentary I would like for the tour, how long I wanted the tour to last, as well as any medical or dietary concerns. Her English is very easy to understand as well. She was especially helpful when I realized that my debit card went missing (I had accidentally left it in the ATM before her arrival), and when we could not find it or get the bank to retrieve it, she was so helpful in assisting me with finding a Western Union so funds sent to me could be accessed. We went to Wat Sa Ket (it's open earlier than the others) first, Temple of Emerald Buddha, Grand Palace, Temple of Reclining Buddha, had lunch at her recommended place (it was a small cafe but really lovely food), walked through a flower market, and then a walk through the artsy parts of Talat Noi. I thought it was a great mix of cultural, historic, and modern and I really loved the different forms of transportation that we took, ranging from taxi, Tuktuk, subway, to scooter taxis. Even with all of this I didn't use up the entire 8 hours, but I was pretty tired and ready for a long nap after a hot day of touring. I forgot to mention also, Gwen is a FANTASTIC iPhone photographer and I have a ton of really flattering and wonderful pictures throughout the day.

    If you're short on time, or you need a good introduction to Bangkok and how to get around as a solo who has never been there before, I'd strongly suggest booking a private guide - and especially look for Gwen!

    It was a fantastic trip and a great get away from Bangkok. It was a great hike and definitely a challenge for a beginner hiker. Make sure to wear full sleeves and trousers. Met some absolutely lovely people and your guide was really helpful. The only improvement would be for the guide to match the pace with the everyone so, if anyone needs help the guide can be there for you.

    This was a great trip. Our tour guide Pipop was great. He had lots to show and talk about. We never felt rushed. The elephant experience was a highlight as was swimming at the falls. We had an excellent lunch, better than some restaurants we have eaten at in Bangkok. Next time in Bangkok we would happily take a tour with Pipop again.

    We had an excellent trip with Suan going to the floating markets and train markets. Everything was very well organised and Suam was very happy, friendly and helpful. She went the extra mile. Would highly recommend this trip

    We took the tour on Aug 26 morning and our tour guide was the best. He helped us get immerse into Buddhism like any other and local culture. Perfect combo to explore Ayutthaya.
    Bus is not the most comfortable but still decent.
    Lunch was also not up to the Thai outstanding flavor levels but it was ok.

    DONT MISS THIS TOUR!
    It was awesome for all of the parts of this tour. The guide (I asked her name, but I couldn’t remember because it’s so thai-name, sorry for her…) has been keeping comfy distance with fully guidance of the history of temples and some personal time for only ourselves.
    The driver was super kind as well.
    Also ayutthaya was pretty impressive place with sense of war which was painful but important.

    Great trip. Be sure to bring cash for various admissions, hand sanitizer, a spare shirt, and an umbrella. The guide was super friendly and helpful. I was able to learn a lot in this tour and made some great memories.

    We were picked up from our hotel in an air-conditioned coach and drove about an hour with some commentary along the way. It was an interesting experience, but a very hot, humid day walking amongst the ruins. We visited a few other sights in the area before driving to the river where we boarded a boat which served a delicious buffet lunch and cruised back to Bangkok, viewing many interesting sights along the way.

    We had the pleasure of having Eddy as our tour guide for a day trip from Bangkok to Pattaya, and he truly exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, Eddy was incredibly detailed, ensuring that every aspect of our trip was well-planned and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were having fun at all times, tailoring the experience to our preferences. Eddy's knowledge of the area was impressive, and his friendly, engaging personality made the entire day unforgettable. If you're looking for a guide who genuinely cares about making your trip special, Eddy is the one to choose. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful tour. Our guide and driver were excellent. Rach went over and above - not only giving a lot of information but also making sure we had water, were safe and got the very best out of the tour. Highly recommend!

    The good thing in this your the tour guide and the peddalrboat . The only thing I love in this tour the peddleboat and the mango with rice sticky meal two. The train market is so silly to go there , and you find your self shooting pictures and images for train , I think is not worthy . I sug Parisgest to c immediatelyhange this destination to something else

    Johnny our guide made this trip truly memorable. Mekong railway is a sight to be seen, the ‘James Bond’ style boat round the floating market a true experience and Johnny’s knowledge and friendly manner helped us to make some amazing memories and his photography skills were brilliant too!!
