This tour was excellent. 5-star with respect to logistics, knowledge of the tour staff, quality of the itinerary and execution of the meal. The hotel pick-up and drop-off is a great bonus because it makes it so easy to go. All vehicles had air con. The tour guide had such an incredible amount of knowledge about every part of the tour and about Thailand in general. Everything was on time and the buffet lunch was well thought out and the variety was impressive. The reverence of the temples by the locals is awe inspiring. Please remember to be respectful at the temples. This tour accepts single people, which is nice because not all do. The only thing that took away from the experience was that some of the places had many tourists who did not seem to have the appropriate level of respect for these places. Many people wanted to take pictures of themselves at the temples, rather than the temples themselves. This can be overlooked though and you can really have the tour of a lifetime as I did.

We had a great time.
Review by: Nneka M, June 2018
I'm pretty easy going, so it's rare for me to have a bad time. This is the first time I've had a negative experience on a tour. Skip this company. They failed to pick me up, then caught an attitude when I called them out on it, even tried to make it seem as if it was my fault. The customer service desk spoke horrendous English, failed to give me a promised reimbursement for the taxi ride I had to take across town to meet the tour, and the guide was AWFUL. Other people on the tour had to actively move away from him because they were tired of hearing his voice. Moreover, too much time is wasted at the Summer Palace. The river cruise was alright but you could book that on your own.4

Amazing history.
Review by: Ole P, May 2018
This tour was great! Donna was such a great and enthusiastic guide, who knew her history. It was also fun to visit her childhood town and temple. You will visit Bang-Pa in Palace and the ruins of Ayuttahaya, which was amazing. Thanks also to the driver of the bus and for providing cold water and refereshing towels on a hot day. _br/_ The river cruise back to Bangkok made the whole trip great, with fantastic buffet and view to the city.

Ayutthaya Temples was an amazing site, reminded us of when we visited Pompeii. The river cruise was a relaxing way to return to Bangkok and a delicious buffet lunch.
Review by: Izabela F, May 2018
It is a great day trip from Bangkok. You will have the guide to walk you through Ayutthaya temples, as well as Kings summer palace. Unfortunately for us, the traffic on the way there was huge due to the Thai New Year and we had to rush through the temples. although this was known before I am surprised earlier departure was not organised. The coach we were travelling in was in a poor condition. When we boarded as the last hotel we hat to sit at the back where there were no speakers and could not hear anything what the guide was saying. and the overall state of it was a bit shame. _br/_ The cruise back to Bangkok was great, the buffet lunch provided was really great and the ship was big and spacious so you could sit on the upper deck and admire the views as well as all the BKK monuments from a river view. _br/_ Overall, the trip is great and worth going to. Ayutthaya is a place you don't want to miss!

Excellent trip, wasted a bit of time having to go from hotel pick up to central bus area for larger bus tour. Do a was very good. The cruise was the perfect way to end the frip and see Bangkok from the river. The buffet son the boat was very good.

Amazing Tour! I was picked up at my hotel on time, we were shuttled to their main office and boarded the bigger bus. Very popular tour! Highly Recommend! Ayutthaya Temples were Amazing and I Really Enjoyed It! Our tour guide was great, she knows a lot of history of everything. She deterred us to shop at certain places, she advised us to wait until we got to a certain stop, because it was much better shopping. I heard other people on the bus saying the vendors paid her commission after anyone in our group bought anything. But the prices were good, not different then the other shopping places. The River Cruise back was Awesome! Buffett Lunch on the Cruise was Amazing! GREAT FOOD!

Our tour guide was not good.....
Review by: amb723, April 2018
The 4 of us were so disappointed! too large of a group, forever to depart, old/uncomfortable bus, and we had a very hard time understanding the tour guide both due to her English level and malfunctioning mic. The biggest disappointment -only 30 minutes in Ayutthaya -time wasted at other stops.

Comprehensive tour of the temples and lazy ride back to Bangkok on the river.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: Paul G, April 2018
Although it was hot, the guide led us on a great tour through the interesting sights of Ayutthaya. After the warm day, the river cruise was a nice way to end the trip!
Review by: marit76, April 2018
I feel like all of the glowing reviews are a little misleading. You will spend almost no time at the Ayutthaya Temples, which is basically the entire point and the NAME of this tour. We spent less than 30 minutes at this beautiful site, in spite of the money and time invested to get there. Our guide spoke terrible English I say this with compassion, recognizing it is his second language, but we purchased this wanting and NEEDING an English speaking guide. There is NO information indicating how strict the dress code is at the Palace. All arms and legs need to be 100 covered, or you will be conned into buying clothing at the gift shop. You will spend hours on the bus. The river cruise is nice, the buffet is good, but these are not the main reasons we purchased this tour. Overall, the worst experience I have had with Viator. Would NOT recommend this to a friend or family member.

It was a great trip! They picked us up from the hotel on time, dropped us off at the meeting site so we can comfortably get on the bus. The bus ride was quite comfortable and the tour guide was experienced, knowledgeable and an excellent representation of Thai people i.e. friendly, kind, loves all living things, etc. with a great sense of humor. All the sites we visited reached beyond our expectations and the ferry ride at the end of the trip was a very memorable experience. I would have liked a bit more time at Ayutthaya ruins but overall, I'd recommend this tour to those who want to learn little bit of history of this beautiful country.
