Great tour guide and transportation driver. Beautiful areas to see and beautiful river boat ride. Thanks for the good time!!!
The Ayutthaya sunset tour was enjoyable, and Oil was an excellent guide who was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the trip. However, the communication from the company could be improved. A simple booking confirmation message would go a long way in providing reassurance, especially when the reservation is made through a third-party provider. Better communication before the tour would make the overall experience even better.
Amazing trip with a well knowledgeable tour guide. Always worth visiting for a cultural experience. Jx
Oli is the best tour guide. The place is very interesting and beautiful
Oil was an excellent guide! We loved your dedication, very good information. He even supported us to get into the bathrooms that you have to pay for! Thank you very much Oil
Great tour, highly recommended, our guide, Oi was amazing!
We chose this excursion for the announced program, but unfortunately several important points were not respected. The excursion indicated a pick-up at 10am, but we were not picked up until 1pm. As a result, we were not able to visit the market, which only takes place in the morning. In addition, the sunset over the temple – a highlight of the program – was not possible due to too high a water level, we were told. However, we were only informed of this cancellation at the time of our pick-up. Despite these inconveniences, the day was pleasant. The temples visited were beautiful and our guide was interesting, professional and spoke very good French. In summary: a great experience, but a pity that the announced program was not respected and that unfeasible things were not communicated earlier.
Very well organized. Our tour guide Ken was very kind and provided historical background on every place we visited. Highly recommend.
Great experience! Mr Kean a great guide , excellent organization and explanation!!! Definitely a great way to explore the historic site
The tour itself was really good and it was great to learn about the history from experienced guides. Lunch was pretty simple. Pity about the terrible booking experience and meeting point experience. Tour operator was giving the wrong instructions about the meeting point, and seemed really disorganised. Communication was really poor causing a lot of frustration and confusion. While I enjoyed the tour itself, I wouldn’t book with this tour operator again.
