Your tour will begin when you meet your guide at 12 PM at one of the pickup points. You’ll start by visiting Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya, one of Thailand’s most visited temples.

After this, you’ll delve into the country’s history with a visit to Chao Sam Phraya Museum, where you’ll have the chance to explore a wide variety of golden artifacts, Buddha images, wooden door panels, and other treasures. Your day will end watching a spectacular sunset back at Wat Chaiwatthanaram temple before riding a long-tail boat to see the sights of the island city and to witness the locals’ lifestyles in action. If you’re lucky, you may even see an elephant or two along the way.

We highly recommend this private full-day tour and especially having Scott as your tour guide - he’s passionate about his country and sharing his knowledge and this had a positive influence on our experience. Scott communicated well before and during the tour and pick-up and drop-off from our hotel was seamless. The variety of experiences (temple, Viceroy estate, river cruise, local food market) makes the tour well worth it and the order of activities (active [temple, Viceroy estate] to relaxing [river cruise, local food market]) is a big plus on how well the tour is organized. Again, this tour is a fantastic option for a day tour if you’re staying in Bangkok.

I booked this tour last minute in December and I was not disappointed. The guide, Bimp, was very friendly and taught the group all about Thai and Buddhist culture. I was a solo traveller and I found the tour to be interesting, and I met some lovely people. 100% recommend booking this tour!
