It was a great trip to Ayutthaya. It is a long drive to the monkeys but it was really nice to see them up close. Ayutthaya itself is impressive and a guide who knows so much to tell makes it even more perfect. The tour is expensive but I think you get a much better (and more personal) experience this way.

Our guide was really great in explaining every detail, taking us around and also accompanying us in no-turistic activity such as monk pray and other things we were interested doing. Amazing experience!

What a great day trip to Ayutthaya and Lopburi! Beautiful temples and lots of fascinating history. Our guide was superb! Transportation is also comfortable and private 👍🏾

The trip was fantastic! Got to see the monkey temple and walk one of the temples in the traditional wear. Highly recommend this tour. Such a great way to explore Thailand!

it was basically a private tour we saw very few other tourists the whole time. they were amazing with our young kids as well.
