The day trip was wonderful, it starts nice and early but we were back before 4pm so we had a whole evening to ourselves which was wonderful. It is a hot day so be sure to wear hats and sunscreen. The day started with a 1.5h ish drive to the Ayutthaya and then we toured three sites which took us to about 11 am; from there we drove another 1h ish to the boat where we had a surprisingly good buffet lunch and river tour. The guide Ms. Donna was amazing, so funny and cheery and she constantly kept everyone engaged.

Happy with the tour and our guide Donna. Remember to dress appropriately as you will visit temples. Buffet is nice and ~90 min cruise back is nice. Highly recommended to cross couple of aspects from the to-do list (temples in the north, river tour, etc.).

Great trip, good value for money and highly recommended. Our (parttime) guide, "the school teacher" gave excellent information during the whole day. The morning cruise on the river was beautiful, and both (light) breakfast and the lunch was of high quality. Temples and palace very impressive, enough time to walk around, take pictures, get explanation etc. Do not hesitate, just book :-)
