Private 9-hour Ayutthaya day trip from Bangkok with an English-speaking driver, Bang Pa-In, Wat Mahathat, and Viharn Pra Mongkolborpit.

“Driver arrived on time and thoughtfully brought a cooler full of bottled water for us to drink throughout the day. He dropped us off in the parking lots of any of the temples we wanted to see, and stopped for lunch at our requested restaurant. On the ride back, he gave us both individually wrapped refreshing cloths and more water, which was so welcome after a long hot day in Ayutthaya. My friend lost an earring in the car, and we messaged him with a photo asking if he could find it. He graciously brought it back to our hotel the next day - thank you so much Mr. Thana!!!”

“I am trying to be objective and rate this a 3 because I think it could be a better tour under different circumstances. I would probably give it a 2 for my experience. The positive points - you definitely see a different part of Thailand and experience some good history. The negative points - first, they do NOT pick you up as stated.
