The tour guide was a NO SHOW and the phone number provided in the itinerary was a non-working number. We sent multiple email messages with no response. Ruined our day.

Bella took us on a private tour of Ayutthaya and it was the highlight of our time in Thailand. The ancient temples were amazing and Bella's knowledge of he area made everything come alive. The tour also included several stops to sample local food offerings. Everything was delicious and different from anything we had ever eaten before. Thanks, Bella, for the wonderful time we spent we spent with you. And thanks for the amazing photos you took of us along the way. We will remember our time with you for many years to come.

We experienced a wonderful day with our guide Sasa and driver. They were so knowledgable of the area and we had a really fun day. We experienced the local market, a number of the old wats and sites in the city and the food was great at every stop. Highly recommended!!
Camille W, May 2018
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.
Federico D, Feb 2018
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!

Best tour guide ever, thank you Yum. Great experience to not miss this tour well worth the money !

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.
Ronald_N, Apr 2017
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.
Marissa M, Feb 2017
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.
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.
Lee M, Feb 2017
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

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.
Gerald_A, Dec 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.
John_R, Dec 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.
John_R, Dec 2016
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.
Jeremy G, Dec 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.
Tristan V, Nov 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.

This trip was amazing, the guide was knowledgeable, kind and cared to answer our questions and take us around

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour.
Initially, there was a problem with our van and driver, who went missing. Our tour guide, Jum, tried her best to fix the problem and was able to get us a new van and driver. Due to Bangkok traffic, it took some time before the new van arrived and our tour had to start an hour later than scheduled. Jum, however, tried her best to make up for it so the food tour started at the hotel lobby while waiting for the van.
The rest of the tour went smoothly, although our other companions, my in-laws, could not visit three of the four temples as the weather was too hot for the not so young ones. Jum was very gracious and knowledgeable about the sights that she showed us. The food was good and plentiful, maybe too much for the us. We took home most of the sweets we got because we were too full to eat everything. I loved the Roti Sai Mai.
i recommend this tour especially for the ones who are okay with walking in the heat and are good eaters.

Great tour with visits of amazing World Heritage sites. Delicious food tour with our perfect guide BELLA!!
She is fun, witty and the best guide you can wish for! Thank you Bella for making our day a special one!
Samuel_C, Aug 2016
We were met by our tour guide Bella and taken on our exceptional tour of ancient Ayutthaya, a very informative and fantastic photo opportunities we also visited local markets and a floating restaurant for lunch we had an amazing day, with our knowledgeable and attentive guide.

I LOVED IT! Very good and complete experience. It is actually a food tour and it's very enjoyable. They pick you up from your hotel in a very large, clean and confortable vehicle. The tour guide was very knowledgeable regarding the sites and the food! Every site includes stops for a particular food, so do not eat breakfast that morning cause its a lot of food and IT'S ALL INCLUDED in the price. The tour was also flexible, the guide did not pressure me to stay in schedule and actually include an extra stop.

Turen var alt for dyr, da næsten halvdelen af tiden var kørsel og planen for dagen slet ikke blev fulgt.
De ting vi havde glædet os mest til, tog enten få minutter eller så oplevede vi det slet ikke. Ret skuffende..
Det var samtidig en smule sært, at vi blev proppet i kostumer og skulle rende rundt i dem hele dagen.
Det var ikke særlig komfortabelt og alt, alt for varmt.
Guiden var sød nok.
