- Damnoen Saduak - The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located in the Damnoen Saduak district of Ratchaburi province, is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) southwest of Bangkok, Thailand. It has become a major tourist attraction, drawing both domestic and international visitors, and is often regarded as the most famous floating market.
- Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam) - Wat Lokayasutharam is believed to have been constructed in the mid-Ayutthaya period during the reign of King Nakharintharathirat Father Sam Chao Phraya, around 1995. This temple features the largest reclining Buddha image on the island of Ayutthaya, housed in an outdoor brick structure measuring 42 meters in length and 8 meters in height. The head faces north, with the face turned west and Phrabath facing south.
- Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Wat Phra Si Sanphet, known as the “Temple of the Holy, Splendid Omniscient,” was the most sacred temple on the grounds of the old Royal Palace in Thailand’s ancient capital of Ayutthaya until the city was completely destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. It was the most magnificent and beautiful temple in the capital and served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.
- Wat Mahathat - Wat Mahathat, located in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province, is one of the temples in the Ayutthaya Historical Park. Wat Mahathat was a significant temple during the Ayutthaya period as it housed the city’s relics and served as the residence of the patriarch. This temple was consistently maintained until it was destroyed and abandoned after the second time.

Good itinerary- in a short time - Excellent trip, although a little spoilt as the communication prior was poor, as in non-existent. I nearly cancelled, but this was the itinerary I wanted. Yes, a long day, and we expected it and had no real problems over that.
Guide was good. We had a great in-depth look at the market and Temples. Good stops as needed.
Nice food at lunch, buffet to cover all.

Friendly guide & Driver. Great trip! - Bobo was a great tour guide throughout our trip. Driver drove safely and was also friendly and helpful. Offered around some local delicacies to try. Bobo was informative when stopping at each of the temples.

101 tour activity if you are in BKK - Unexpectedly great experiences including admission fees, lunch buffet and guide Phillip who is exceptionally knowledgeable, cheerful, humorous, helpful along the journey and of course the whole trip was wonderful and get to know Thailand culture history way better if you don’t have enough time and you can consider the compact trip that goes all spots in one day

Wonderful experiences - This was a great trip. Our tour guide Jokey was amazing! We forgot a souvenir in the bus and he made sure we received it in our hotel. We would totally recommend this trip.

Good Tour - The best part of the tour was the floating market by the time we got to the temples, I was hot and tired. The guide was very knowledgeable. I would recommend taking the tour.

Great tour, very complete, but you see 3 temples not 4 in Ayutthaya - This is a very complete tour and very long day (we were picked up at 06:00 a.m. and returned at MBK Center at 07:05 p.m.). Our guide William gave us a lot of information and our driver, Mr. Thai, drove very safely. We have bad luck, as the highway was flooded due to heavy rain during the night, and it took us nearly 4 hours to arrive to the railway Mae Klong market, so we arrive at 09:45 a.m. and both trains at 08:30 a.m. and 09:00 a.m. were already gone, and there was no time to wait for the next one, at 11:10 a.m. We stayed there until 10:15 a.m. and went to the Orchid Farm (this is a turist trap that should be avoided) and, then, we went to the floating market (from 10:50 a.m. to 11:50 a.m.), including a half an hour ride on a boat. We had lunch from 02:20 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and, then, went to visit 3 Ayutthaya temples. One thing we did not like is that in the Viator description says that you see 4 temples at Ayutthaya, but you see only 3: Wat Maha That (from 3:05 p.m. to 04:00 p.m.), Wat Phra Sri Sanphet (from 04:10 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and Wat Lakayasutharam (from 05:10 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.), but you do not see the Wat Chaiwatthanaram temple.

May bus hours. Mainly is a bus tour - Nice tour, good guide, bad and slow bus, too much time inside de bus (2 + 0,5 + 3,5 +2) in the same day. Train is nice to see the market only, Hanoi train is much better, here is very slow (more safe) but only for tourists. The floating market is nice but again very touristic, no locals trading. Ayutthaya is very good and very interesting. At the middle of the afternoon we are so tire that we didn't see properly. Do a tour to Ayutthaya only. Much less bus and road

a concentrated tour for those who do not have much time - Punctual Service. Also interesting is the short stop at the coconut processing company. Unfortunately, being a concentrated tour, very fast afternoon visit to Ayutthaya where we visited only two of the most important sites, the Third party just a photo stop for proximity to the toilets before leaving for Bangkok. If you have time, better do two separate tours: train market + floating market one morning and Ayatthaya another day.

Terrible tour. Do not... - Terrible tour. Do not book. Stuck us two English speakers with an entire group and the guide did not say much. Cramped bus. Stops could have been much shorter

Just very ordinary. The... - Just very ordinary. The tour guide was somehow not so clear that I and other participants need to look him up for the departure.
Thailand doesn’t sound cheap anymore. Same does the tipping culture. When something seems ok in a group tour in the Eastern Europe and North Africa, it’s not happening anymore in Thailand.
