Private Tour: Ayutthaya Day Trip from Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand
Pack in a full day of culture, history and cuisine on a private tour to the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya. A private guide escorts you to one of Ayutthaya’s oldest markets, an elephant sanctuary and the scattered ruins of several iconic temples in the UNESCO-listed city. Enjoy food tastings of traditional specialties, and have lunch on a docked rice barge. Round-trip minivan transport from Bangkok hotels is included.
After pickup from your Bangkok hotel, get comfortable in your private minivan for the drive to the ancient capital of Ayutthaya. Your tour begins at one of Ayutthaya’s oldest markets where you'll sample traditional boat noodles from a local vendor, among other authentic bites.
Next, visit emblematic temples, such as Wat Yai Chai Mongkol with its 196-foot-tall (60-meter) stupa. See the ancient ruins of Buddha images at Wat Mahathat (Temple of the Great Relics), and stop by Ayutthaya’s most historically important temple, Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Then savor lunch aboard a docked rice barge on the Chao Phraya River.
In the afternoon, visit Ayutthaya Historical Park, home to Wat Chai Wattanaram, one of Ayutthaya's most renowned temples. Go behind the scenes of the production of roti sai mai to see how this spun sugar dessert is made and taste some yourself. Then discover another local snack at a temple market. Your day trip ends with return by private vehicle to Bangkok for hotel drop-off.
Our tour guide was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge to share. The food was amazing however there was too much for only two of us to eat. It would have been nice to have smaller portions. The temples where beautiful in this area.

Tour guide Bella was excellent. The ruins were really cool to see and learn the history behind it. The food part of the tour was amazing. We tried local spots with food exclusive to the city of Ayutthaya and got to see how their cotton candy was produced. Highly recommend this tour with the food included.

It was a great tour! Beside the beautiful visit of Ayutthaya, we also went though a daily immersion into Thai food culture. We felt like locals, we eat like locals and we experience Thailand like locals. It was definitely worth it!

We had an excellent day on the tour. Our tour guide, Joker, and his trainee, Tammy, were fabulous. The number of activities was perfect and their knowledge of the sites and ability to clearly communicate important facts was outstanding. Highly recommend both the tour and our tour guides.

Me and my friends have gone to Bangkok so many times, but we never realized that Ayutthaya was so close and a easy road trip away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. We were very lucky have Noom as our guide, he was very polite and professional, always taking care of our needs, Noom also takes great photos! Ayutthaya is a great excursion as it is one of the old capitals of Thailand the 2nd to be exact, it is also a UNESCO site, which makes it even more worthwhile to see. We booked this Ayutthaya day trip through Viator with Taste of Thailand so that we got to experience the local food as well as the monuments.

This tour was a great mix of food and temples, Jung was also a great tour guide! We were able to learn a ton about the culture of Thailand both through the viewing of the runes/temples and through the places we visited along the way. The sugar factory she brought us to was amazing to see, we even got to try to stretch the sugar ourselves and boy was it tough! We tried coconut ice cream, fried tofu, boat noodles and a variety of dishes at a thai restaurant overlooking the river at the very end of the tour. Overall a great experience.

Great tour. Our guide, Joker, arrived at our hotel on-time. Provided a very informative overview of the day on the drive to Ayutthaya. Food was excellent, just too much of it do not eat before going on this tour!. Saw local food markets and restaurants with different specialties. Visited three separate temple sites Joker provided an great information on each stop.

Excellent! Very well organized tour with a beautiful gastronomic experience. Our guide, Jum, was knowledgeable, kind, professional and polite. The selected places we visited were well chosen. We enjoyed it very much. Recommend it vividly.

The tour was great! Noom was our guide and was so knowledgeable about both the sites as well as any other questions we had about Thailand and his English was superb. _br/_ The mix of sites and tasting local foods was a great way to spend the day especially because it gave brief breaks from the heat.

The Taste of Thailand private tour of Ayutthaya was the perfect combination of two of my passions: food and history. Jum, our guide was a jewel. She guided us through the market in Ayutthaya and introduced us to many unique foods that we never would have found on our own. Between snacks and meals she guided us to the main cultural and historical sites and explained their significance. She also gave us a wonderful sense of Thai culture in our interactions with the merchants and vendors in the market and restaurants. It was a busy day and a great way to learn about Thai foods and the history of an amazing site. Bring your camera and appetite

Good for the most part
Review by: Michele M, December 2016
It was a long day but the golden Triangle was great. Our tour only had 6 people but 3 of them were always off shopping or looking around which put us off schedule and returning 2 hours later. I blame the tour guide for not enforcing the time better. He needed to be more in control.
Review by: Jerry, December 2016
Excellent tour! Jah was a wonderful tour guide. Not only did we see all the beautiful sites at Ayutthaya but she enhanced the journey with the food tasting aspect of the trip. She made the tour a great experience.

Jan was an excellent guide - good English speaking, polite and honest. Whilst she didn't know about everything in detail she tried her best to explain that she knew. Would highly recommend her. The tour was organized by Taste of Thailand tour and was well organized and on time.
Review by: mvjf_ramesh, December 2016
Jan from the taste of Thailand tour was energetic and understanding- was on time and humble. Her English speaking skills was good as well. Overall the tour was well organized. Would highly recommend her as a guide.
Review by: Jeremy G, December 2016
Wonderful experience with a friendly and informative guide. Maybe we were lucky but the temples were not crowded which allowed us to enjoy the atmosphere in peace. The restaurant was great and the food excellent. Taking a private tour allowed us to adjust the itinerary to suit our pace, well worth the cost.

This trip was amazing, the guide was knowledgeable, kind and cared to answer our questions and take us around
Review by: Tristan V, November 2016
Bella was an amazing tour guide! Taste of Thailand Food Tour provided about 10 separate stops at various markets and different views points of the old temples. Bella was very knowledgeable and provided more history about Ayutthaya than anticipated. We were escorted in a A/C Van with plenty of water and a very polite driver. Highly recommend.
