3.00Very personalized tours. We were only 3 pardons. The very friendly guide, explained well., the only thing I didn't like, is that he took us to eat at a restaurant, he ate and then left and we had to pay for his food.

5.00We had a fantastic experience visiting Ayutthaya UNESCO with our guide Jack 🛕✨ He is very knowledgeable and brought the history and stories of Thailand to life in a clear and engaging way, answering all our questions. This is a must-do if you enjoy history and ancient civilizations. Jack also showed us the best spots for great photos, which made the visit even more special. What really stood out was his passion for sharing his culture, he made the whole experience meaningful. Jack is an amazing guide, and I truly wish him all the best 🙏✨
Excellent tour from Bangkok. Highly Recommend!

5.00Eddy was a excellent host on this iconic tour. At each stop he interjected excellent history along with shared stories of the inhabitants. Each stop was well timed and the tour itself was well worth the time.

5.00I had Cherry as my guide. She’s full of info and history. She made sure I enjoyed my experience by buying bread so I could feed the fish and turtle. She also got a musical toy for me too. The driver was also very nice and kind. They shared their snacks with me on what was not only a long drive, but also hot. Would recommend.
Great family day trip.
