Not a waste of life 😁 - Bangkok can be a little overwhelming at times! This is a super tour to get out of the smog. Clearly the places seen in photos are of historical interest. Transport was clean and comfortable with plenty of leg space. Air Con was controllable for each seat. Our driver (Mr Charming - and charming he is) was super. Totally unfazed by turning a bus in the space required ordinarily by a car! 🤣 If you can… ask for Jum (aka Johnnie) to be your tour guide. He is brilliant. 👍 A masters student in tourism he hosts tours along side his studies at uni. Knowledgeable, excellent command of English (and differing senses of humour) and really super funny. He is self deprecating but in a charming way. I’ll never forget the 5 prime Buddhist covenants! 🤣 I cannot recommend him more highly. He had us all laughing. He made the tour. 🥰

Would do again! - This tour was AMAZING! Our guide Jira was so sweet and kind! She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Ayutthaya and Thailand! Not only did we get a great tour but jira is a mini professional photographer posing you for the best photos! Loved the suprise traditional Thai dance on the boat and we even fed the catfish during the river tour! I would do the tour over again just to see Jira again she embodied the kindness of the Thai people :)

Excellent guide (Jom) and beautiful sites - The tour included the most important sites in the city. The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and explain the most important facts. He then gave us time at every visited point to explore by ourselves. The only issue that we experienced was a 1-hour late pick up from our hotel and bad miscommunication with the tour company.

Lucky - The trip was all in all very good. Lucky is a very nice tour guide, gladly again. The agreements about who meets when, where , were a bit confusing but quite funny....asking helps. We would recommend this booking to anyone. The food was also good, but too little to get full.

Sunset tour - It was ok, we met at the pickup hotel (Sheraton) and there was a small van that took us to Ayutthaya. We saw 2 or 3 sites there, ruins of the old city and temples. The guide did minimal explanation of the sites. Then the van took us to a pier in Ayutthaya, where we boarded a traditional boat that went down the river as we watched the sunset. That was the most enjoyable part. There was a small traditional dance performance on the boat (but not like the fancy picture that's advertised on viator, lol). The boat dropped us off at a waterfront restaurant for dinner. Dinner was good, lots of food choices, served in traditional plates. I think they had modified the dishes to fit the typical tourist tastes. I don't blame them but we had to ask for extra chili LOL. Overall, the restaurant was nice. Then the van picked us up and drove back to Bangkok, dropping people off either at their hotels or at the pick up location. We left around 13:30 and we were back around 20:00.

Disappointing and obvious lack of preparation by tour operator - First of all, the tour started late. The bus was very late. On our way to our destination, the bus got into trouble with foul smelling tires. We were all coughing and suffered respiratory issues. The ride was very slow and we have to make a stop. I demand a refund. Precious time was wasted. We missed the highlights as everything was being rushed.

Terrible guide, waste of time. - Guide had zero knowledge, zero ability to lead a group, or anything. Total waste of money and a whole day in Thailand. Would like a refund.

After paying extra for... - After paying extra for pickup from my hotel, and confirming pickup the night before via WhatsApp, they never showed up. After calls stating that, they told me driver is en route and second story was that driver was in an accident. They then told me I should take a cab to the beginning of the activity, and it would be covered by the guide. The guide had nothing to do with driver not showing up and I knew that I would have to pay taxi. Finally, by the time this occurred the tour began. I called Viatour and told them I want a refund
