Educational, informative, interesting, comfortable - We really enjoyed it all, the guide is super, the car is big and comfortable, we studied Ayutaya in a comfortable rhythm for us, it was really cool not to depend on anyone. The guide is super professional, excellent English, lots of interesting stories you won't read on Wikipedia, easy to serve information.

Great guide and well planned tour - We had a wonderful trip to Ayuthaya, thanks to our guide Tanya. She kept telling us all about Thailand history, kingdoms, temples and so on thru out the trip. We got lucky as we got a private tour with a guide (I thot I had booked a group tour). Tanya explained well about the palace, ruined temples and the various kings. Thanks also to WanderSiam and Trip advisor for making this a memorable trip for us.

If you’re visiting Ayutthaya, this tour is a must - Had an amazing day exploring Ayutthaya! The tour was well-paced, giving us plenty of time to visit the 5 main sites without feeling rushed. Our guide, Piya, was incredible – like a walking encyclopedia of Thai history, sharing stories and cultural facts that really brought the ruins to life.

Amazing Ayutthaya - Absolutely fantastic day in Ayutthaya with Mrs. Wan and her driver. The car was spotless, cool, and super comfy. She’s an amazing guide and her English was fluent. Wan was full of fascinating stories and local knowledge that brought the history to life. Lunch at the local restaurant she recommended was delicious and great value. If you’re visiting Ayutthaya, book Mrs. Wan — you won’t regret it! 🌟

Great experience! - Our guide Pat and our driver Joe were amazing. Pat was super knowledgeable, funny and made the whole experience a joy. Even though it was super hot, we were able to enjoy all of the sites we had that day and enjoy a great lunch spot with the other people in the group. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you can request Pat

A great day out - Had a fantastic day with Pat as our tour guide. Organisation and pick up was excellent and the transport was lovely (as was the driver). We were with two other people, so a small tour, and were taken to 6 places in total with a delicious lunch stop half way. Pat was very knowledgeable, funny and friendly and gave us lots of information. He also knows all the best photo spots and takes great pics! Overall a fun day out.
