Great for all levels of interest and experience - I had the pleasure of attending the monkey/temple tour on Jan 31. It was headed by Aoi, who did an excellent job of showing us monkeys as well as telling us details about the architecture and relics. Her English skills were very strong, and her knowledge is unmatched.

Time and money well spent with Bond - Our tour guide Bond was so knowledgeable about the history of the temples (he has a background in history) and was such a joy to be around. He was also able to talk to us about the incredible birds around the temples and answer our questions about the culture. Highly recommend this tour.

Lovely experience - The city of Ayutthaya was beautiful, though very hot especially under the sun. Each historical location did however have umbrellas to protect from the sun which was helpful. Jimmy was a kind tour guide, took us to a nice lunch spot where the pad thai was delicious. Would recommend tour if you’re interested in me at info about the history of Thailand

Fab day with lots learned - Great trip, the pickup location was easy to find, air conditioned and had a toilet. Our guide CoCo was lovely and informative. We worried that each site would be rushed, but there was enough time for information and individual exploration. Each site had good toilets and umbrellas for hot or rainy days Lunch was a bit chaotic despite preordering, and was not very hot. The tour bus was OK but it got very hot in the middle of the day All in all a fabulous day and would recommend as a day trip with lots to see, which would have been hard to do from Bangkok totally independently

Nice but could be improved - Nice excursion, useful transfer from the hotel. Good explanation from the guide, but could give more initial context for those who don't know Thailand history. The restaurant was fine but they should give participants a choice to go and eat elsewhere.
