5.00We had the spunkiest 65 year old lady in Thailand take us all over the magnificent city of Ayutthaya. We saw temples, palaces, and ancient city ruins. Our guide, Gen, taught us a lot about Theravada Buddhism, and we received blessings from a monk at one of the temples. We had a tiny group of 4 and got lots of great first hand knowledge and advice from our group leader. She was sharp, funny, and made our tour a great experience. We are grateful to have been able to take in so many cool historical sites in just half a day. Lunch was not included, but we ate at a very affordable and delicious spot with lots of great authentic Thai food half way through our journey. This tour is also very accommodating with pick up and drop off. Make sure you communicate your needs ahead of time, and be sure to arrive on time and ready to have an excellent time.
A journey into Thai history

4.00These are quite beautiful historic locations. We visited 4 historic sites on the morning and the palace in the afternoon. The palace is quite unnecessary in my view allowing greater time at the other sites
Great value, tour guide and time enough for all sites sho didn’t feel rushed.

5.00We were looking for a 5/7 hrs all inclusive tour knowing it’s an hr each way and this was perfect. Niranya Burchardt was a great guide, detailed where needed but also gave time for self exploration. We visited 6 spots (2 adjacent) and for me the old palace was the highlight. While lunch was additional cost, which we knew, the place Niranya took us too had great options for 1 or 2 and it was clean, tasty and the staff spoke good English too. Driver also good, as was early pickup. The only improvement could be with the pre tour paperwork for booking and insurance, as the first and second sets of links sent didn’t work. Fortunately the almost real time online customer service was great and those Links worked first time.
Great itinerary

5.00We visited the summer palace and four temples. Each temple is slightly different and all are very cool. Our guide Tank was helpful although he was not the most well versed in English. Gets the point across though.
Long but fun day

5.00We did the small group tour with 8 people. The. Smaller size was definitely preferable to the large bus tours, our guide was very nice and more than happy to take photos of each person on our tour whenever we wanted. Ayutthaya is interesting and worth a visit, though Bang Pa I felt like we could've skipped. Lunch was great. Be aware that it's a long day in the sun and super hot. Bring a fan and make use of the free umbrellas at some of the sites.
We had a wonderful time...

5.00We had a wonderful time with our guide Cherry, who was knowledgeable and funny. We got to see many beautiful temples, learn about them, and have free time to explore on our own as well. Overall a great day!
5-Star Temple Tour in Thailand – Highly Recommended!

5.00I recently took a fantastic temple tour in Thailand with guide Jerrawat and his driver – both were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience seamless. The itinerary hit all the highlights in one efficient day, with the perfect amount of time at each stop: enough guided explanation to appreciate the history and culture, plus plenty of free time for self-exploration and photos. The pacing felt just right – no rushing, no dragging.What stood out most was how convenient it was. I never could have planned or navigated this on my own – from transportation to insider tips, everything was handled effortlessly. Saw so much beautiful architecture, learned a ton, and had a memorable, stress-free day. If you're looking for a well-organized temple adventure in Thailand, book with Jerrawat – you won't be disappointed!
it was a very nice day...
