Sam is an excellent guide, thorough and caring about everyone in the group. You learn a lot. It was very hot for us and he made sure we had plenty of water and access to the ac bus at all times. He takes pictures for us, he is super pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Very informative, lunch was very good.

This was a great tour, saw a good selection of temples with a very informative guide. Also a great photographer too! We had originally planned to do a trip by ourselves but doing a tour was definitely the best choice! great value as well. The lunch is decent!

Great experience. Our guide Paul, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the temples and gave us enough time to see the area.

Coach journey with about 24 people. Air conditioned coach, plenty of free cold water through the day...... Lovely lunch stop, great guide.... SAM is the BEST!!

Very easy tour and flexible if you want to sneak away for solo pictures. I only wish it was longer as the sights are incredible. The buffet was also fantastic!

This day tour exceeded all expectations! Our guide was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, engaging, and so patient with all of our questions. He did a wonderful job explaining the history and significance of everything we saw, which really brought the experience to life. The temples were stunning, a true highlight of the day, and the included lunch was delicious — a perfect way to recharge before the afternoon activities. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized experience!

AJ shared interesting historical information about the Ayutthaya temple ruins. I learned a lot about Thailand from AJ. He also shared insightful snapshots of his own traditional life in Thailand. Two free cold water bottles for each participant are much appreciated. Umbrellas are available in the bus to borrow.
The included buffet Thai lunch is authentic and delicious food.
Overall, AJ made the visit to Ayutthaya even more enjoyable and educational.
Must see!

I would high recommend this tour if you have a spare 9 hours of your time. The tour operator and bus driver were wonderful, as well as the people on tour with me. Booking online was simple, you will receive an email for the meeting point. The mini buffet style lunch which was delicious, as well as bottled water as the conditions were quite humid, these were all included in the price.The bus itself is comfortable. Overall hust an amazing experience. Thank you🙏

AJ was fabulous! Very knowledgeable. We ventured all over, reclining Buddha, ruins, Buddha in the tree!
David_G, Mar 2025
AJ was a very knowledgeable guide.
It was amazing to see the ancient temples with a history lesson from a knowledgeable person.
Charlotte_H, Mar 2025
On time, good value for money, amazing guide, good customer service when I was unwell and requested to make some changes.
Angela_H, Jan 2025
Paul, the guide, was humorous and knowledgeable, giving us background at four stops, and time to tour and shop. Minibus and group still provided small group feel at an economical price. Company Big Country hosted lunch at it’s restaurant and guide paid for all entrance fees.
Jairo_R, Jan 2025
Tour guide is very knowledgeable. Didn’t want to leave him because he gave so much information about history. He was very passionate about the country
Sameer_M, Jan 2025
The guide AJ was amazing. He had in depth knowledge and took care of everyone. There were many solo girls on the tour, so I didnt feel alone.
David_B, Jan 2025
Ayutthaya was very impressive and interesting overall. The tour was well-organized and fairly punctual. The bus was decent, the air conditioning worked, but some of the seats were a little broken. Lunch was quite tasty.
My only complaint was that it felt like we spent too much time in front of each site learning historical information, and then did not get enough time to explore the ruins. At the first site, we spent 25 of 45min talking, and only had 20min to explore the ruins. Our tour guide was very friendly and helpful, but the actual site visits could have been more interesting. I did feel that the tour was long enough and we got to see enough of Ayutthaya.
Gabriela_L, Jan 2025
I had a great time in this tour and felt very cared for by our guide, AJ. He knows so much about Thai culture, temples and history and his English is excellent! He is very patient and makes sure everyone is comfortable, a very kind and generous guy. Please mind that there are lots of temples to see and you might get tired. I wouldn't plan anything else on the day, I was knackered! Also use lots of sunscreen as they are open temples, so no shades. In general, I super recommend this tour!

I booked a morning tour with a different company, but a couple days before they informed me that they were only doing an afternoon one. I was flying out that night so I couldn’t do an afternoon tour. I signed up for this one last minute. A few hours later I got a message from the company telling me where to meet and even including photos of what to look for as well as the dress code (modest dress since it is a temple.) The guide AJ was upbeat and nice. I could tell he enjoyed talking about Thailand which he referred to as “my country.” We visited 3 temples before a delicious lunch at a local place then another temple after lunch. AJ gave us a time to meet after exploring each stop but we ended up being a little behind schedule which was fine because we learned a lot. There wasn’t a lot of time to shop which I was happy with but something to keep in mind if you book the tour. We arrived in Bangkok later than I expected but couldn’t really help it with traffic and it was New Year’s Eve. Overall a great day in Ayutthaya and seeing the Buddha in the tree which was what I wanted to see the most.

Our day started off with us arriving at the meeting point about one hour in advance and the tour representative searching for about half hour before telling us that our reservation was not with their tour company. He sent us to another tour nearby who told us the same thing and sent us somewhere else. We had to walk back and forth for another half hour only to end back up at the Groove meeting point with the first tour. He checked again and finally decided that we were with his tour and we boarded the bus. If we had not persisted, they would have left without us. When we got on the bus, all the seats were already taken so we were forced to sit at the back of the bus in very cramped seats (even though we were there one hour in advance and should have been able to choose our seats). The other part of the tour that I felt was lacking is the lunch. The food was not the best and the bathroom facilities at the lunch location was terrible. Despite this, we enjoyed walking around looking at the ruins. Although they all looked the same, so it began to feel repetitive. The guide William gave a lot of information on the temples and Bangkok.

Well organised tour. Our guide, Paul, was knowledgeable, engaging, humorous and we could understand him well. He was very passionate about making sure all went well for us, his guests and never once was unapproachable.
His knowledge was exceptional about Ayutthaya history.
The tour was very well organised with pick up from river city and drop off at national stadium. This made sure we all got back at reasonable hour - I like another tour we took earlier in the week which insisted they drop us all off at various hotels - added 3 hours onto end time due to Bangkok traffic. So gold star for that one on this tour. Made much more sense.
Lunch was nice.
Plenty of free time at the sites for pictures etc
Only thing I’d say was there was no communication before hand- I even wrote and asked a question but it was ignored.
You need to wear over knees and shoulders for this tour. Info not included on booking info and when you google Ayutthaya is says it’s relaxed on dress code- but it’s not. Luckily had emergency trousers and shirt in my bag!
Katarina_N, Feb 2024
The reason why I gave this 3 stars is the price. My group paid $15 more per person for the same experience as everyone else in the group we went with. Even though there is a price guarantee the others took a different tour group which happened to be the one that my group was placed with. So same EXACT EXPERIENCE but $15 more. So look online elsewhere.
The experience itself was good, the sites were different and unique. Also there were umbrellas at every site. I thought it was pricy for what I paid however had it been the other amount which the others paid ~ $35-40 USD it would have been worth it. It made the experience less desirable.

Our tour guide and driver were simply outstanding! They were very personable, attentive, patient and knowledgeable. Boeing, our guide, shared a rich history of everything, including personal anecdotes and he even sang the Thai national anthem. Mr. K, the driver, provided us with cold, bottled water and cold baby wipes after every stop, even adding a treat after one of the stops. The lunch included a wide selection of dishes and ours were great. The coconut smoothies were also delightful. Overall, great experience, and worth it. Highly recommend this excursion!
Felipe_A, Sep 2023
Amazing experience.
Uncle Sam (tour guide) went above and beyond to make this trip very memorable.
Recommend to request him if possible.
Lunch was very tasty.
If you are doing this tour try to book on the first or last Wednesday of the month.
You will be dropped off at MBK shopping mall at the end and enjoy a free Muay Tai
Fighting event.
David_T, Jul 2023
We saw 4 temple ruins, ate a large and tasty lunch, and appreciated our guide Paul's historical knowledge and fun sense of humor. The bus ride out and back was comfortable,and although we left earlier than we would have liked, by leaving early we avoided the traffic and especially the heat that would have come later in the day. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Belle découverte avec un petit groupe et un.guide sympathique. Journée trop courte, encore beaucoup de choses à voir. Sommes revenus à 15h
Jennyfer_S, Feb 2024
El bus no nos esperó ni 10 minutos y se fue, tuvimos que tomar un taxi para ir al primer templo. En general, Paul muy buen guía y muy atento.
