Window into the culture of early Thailand

Steve_R, May 2024

Excellent venues that we're enhanced by our guide. The river ride was a wonderful ending and respite from a very hot day.

Nice trip. More time needed at temples

Stephane_K, May 2024

The tour was nice. Jon the guide was very enthusiastic and a really nice guy overall. The only issue is the length we stayed at the temple sites. Especially the last one which was the best we only sat for 30 mins which is far from enough.

Excellent tour

Patricia_D, Apr 2024

The boat ride and sunset view of Ayutthaya were the most memorable parts. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided excellent information.

Ayutthaya Temple visit & Sunset Boat Ride Experience

ShihKhieng_F, Apr 2024

An enriching part of Thai history during the Ayutthaya period that goes with each Temple visit & the experience of the sunset view by the River is a well organised trip despite being only a short one deservingly goes both to the guide Kit & the coordination work by the tour co Sun Leisureworld…👍👍👍

IT was great to have the...

louise_d, Apr 2024

IT was great to have the tour guide gube some history as to the different styles and temples, and it also works out cheaper to do a tour then visiting places individually. Absolutely owe inspiring

Worth visiting!

Marjorie_C, Apr 2024

Ayutthaya is beautiful! The highlight is the last temple. Only room for improvement is the AC in the van — it was hot!

Great tour!

Veselina_D, Apr 2024

Great tour! Our guide Jom was very funny, friendly and knowledgeable! The sightseeing was amazing! Definitely recommend it!

Wonderful experience done...

Francesco_V, Apr 2024

Wonderful experience done alone but met a lot of people new the Joy guide really knowledge about the thai story

Brilliant guide, totally worth it

Stellios_P, Apr 2024

Fantastic guide, Jom rocks. Great range of sights, travel not too long. Unesco temples, boat ride, even feeding the fish. Brilliant

A lovely afternoon exploring Ayutthaya

Jesse_O, Apr 2024

A well-organised and relaxed private tour. Our guide Nina was helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable. It was a hot day and she made sure our group always had access to cold mineral water. The temples were magnificent, and the river boat ride was a definite highlight. Overall an enjoyable experience - thank you!

Do ittttt!!!

Michelle_N, Apr 2024

Yes, yes, 100% yes book this trip!! I loved it. Jong, the guide, had the most beautiful Thai energy. The temples were stunning, authentic, and should not be missed. The pace and flow of the trip was perfect. Even the 1.5 hour bus ride each way is fine, just bring your earbuds. One note, it does get very hot in April.

Interesting place to visit

Carolyn_R, Apr 2024

The history of Ayutthaya and the temples visited was very interesting. The tour guide was very pleasant and our transport was very comfortable. The tour was well organized, however the tour group too large making it almost impossible to hear anything the guide was telling us. Although advertised as a sunset boat trip, the timing of the tour meant we were on our way back to Bangkok by the time the sun set.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Good morning, thanks for appreciating our service, what I have noticed that you mean to say that you did not do boat ride, we do sunset boat ride everyday in the tours, actually this is our highlight, pls write us if you have not experienced it. regards

Best way to see Ayuttaya

Anna_G, Apr 2024

The best part of the tour was Jom ("Johnny") who couldn't have been more knowledgable, funny, and hospitable. Ayutthaya actually contains hundreds of temples so this tour takes you to the highlights. Arriving to the last temple spot right as the sun was setting was the best part.

Everything is great...

Janet_L, Apr 2024

Everything is great except the airconditioning of the bus which is terrible and the charging port were not working at all. There is 2 Novotel closer to each other, we’re not able to catch up the meeting place because we end up going to a wrong novotel, its confusing for tourist. We have to ride in a motorcycle taxi without a helmet to catch up in Hilton Hotel, not really safe. Thanks for Jom for being a good tourist guide.

Nice tour close to Bangkok!

Mary_K, Apr 2024

The boat ride on the river at sunset was the highlight. Jom (our guide) was wonderful - full of energy and humor!

The afternoon tour was...

Antonio_V, Apr 2024

The afternoon tour was just enough time to see the temples. Jon the guide was trying hard under hot conditions and did a great job. I recommend this tour.

Stunning

Robert_P, Apr 2024

its a must to do activity while being in Bangkok. An area full of history, stunning views at sunset and fun charismatic guide.

Most interesting place and a splendid guide.

Yoni_I, Apr 2024

See below concerning the entire tour - including but not limited to the sunset - the visited place and the guide. Very much recommended.

Very unique experience

Carmen_A, Apr 2024

Very nice experience, mainly the boat trip with the sunset and the temples behind, was very unique. John was a great guide as well!

Beautiful ancient temples and a nice boat tour

Carina_Z, Mar 2024

Nice combination of boat tour and temple visits. The guide was very friendly and gave us important historic background information.
