Ayutthaya Ancient City
Description
The Ayutthaya Experience takes you through the historical wonders of Thailand's ancient capital. Ayutthaya is dotted with ruins and grand temples, surrounded by the Chao Phraya, Pa Sak and Lop Buri Rivers. Explore Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand. See sights such as, Wat Mahathat to encounter the famous Buddha head covered in tree roots. Admire beautiful remnants of murals left behind on the temple ruins. Pay a visit to Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the holiest temple with the old Royal Palace. Witness the iconic three chedis or bell-shaped pagodas. Next see Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, with its towering stupa and golden statues. Encounter rows of seated Buddhas in bright, saffron robes. Venture to Wat Chaiwatthanaram, my favourite temple with its unique Cambodian-style architecture. Here you can put on a traditional Thai outfit for a unique photo opportunity.

We had the family on visit for a first time ever in Bangkok and did 4 tours with Nikki and his assistant Yui. First of all for private tours with guide and van it’s very nicely priced and they give great service. I did all this 20 times as we live here but for the family I had planned out some custom trips so they could see a large variety that had cultural, historical and religious significance but also fun. So Nikki organized it just the way I wanted and my family enjoyed it like never before so of course thank you Nike and let’s not forget Yui who did 3 out of 4 tours with us as a guide and handles everything perfectly. Super experience for all, including me and my wife who did it also for the first time with Nikki tours and will recommend him to everyone who asks us or comes to visit us in Thailand. It’s worth it, it’s exciting, meaningful and makes you happy 😃 that’s Nikki Tours. Thanks Nikki and Yui and see you again. Erwin 🙏🏻
We experienced a wonderful multi-day tour through Ayutthaya and the surrounding region. The organization was excellent, and the itinerary was varied and perfectly coordinated. We were especially impressed by the depth of insight into the history, culture, and local life. Our tour guide Nikki was first-class: extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, and always friendly and attentive. With great passion and a sense of humor, he brought the historical sites to life. This tour was a true highlight of our trip and highly recommended.
Excellent. Nikki is thoughtful, knowledgeable, friendly, and considerate. He was prompt, helpful, and offered choices to fit our desires
Very professional and friendly tour to Ayutthaya, the guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Will be highly recommended. Beautiful new van and nice driver.
Hem was an excellent tour guide - super knowledgeable, vibed well with our pace and took us for lunch for the best meal that we had our entire trip. I highly recommend this particular tour for a quick getaway from bustling Bangkok to get some insights into ancient history and a quieter country side.
Nikki is a very professional guide. He has a great knowledge of Ayuttaya history in particular and Thailand in particular. Flexible in the schedule and order of the sites to visit. Also in the design of the visit. Very good English.
I had an amazing day trip to Ayutthaya with Nikki. He was incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable, organizing every aspect of the tour with great attention to detail. Nikki's explanations of the historical sites and stories were engaging and thorough, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a well-spent day in Thailand. I would definitely contact him again for my next trip to Bangkok. A fantastic guide and an unforgettable trip!
Tell u frankly Nikki was far superior beyond our expectations.. his historic knowledge, time efficiency and communication skills par excellence. As we were free lancing Bangkok after our trip to Laos...decided to find a guide so we could do Ayuthya as hadn't visited this part of Thailand and also to recap sites of Bangkok as was going there after 18 years. It was difficult no doubt to find one with English skills as our interest beind in history n culture. Nikki was quick in answering our mails and clearing all our doubts n we booked him...his rates a bit high but wouldn't discount..booked 2 full day tours... One for Ayuthya and other Bangkok city tour. Also helped us find a driver to drop us to the airport.All the best Nikki you have a bright future
My family and I had the most incredible time on our Bangkok tours. They were perfect and adaptable at suiting our family needs. We were able to do everything we wanted in our few days. We had other tours booked at our onward destination but they just did not compare to how great these tours were. The best tour guides in Thailand! Thank you for making our holiday so special for us.
Nikki made of our first trip to Thailand a wonderful experience. We booked him for two different tours, one in Bangkok and the other to Ayutthaya. We absolutely loved both!!! He took us to the very best spots, was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. We truly appreciated his insights and overall service. He’s always on time, extra friendly and a great photographer. I would totally recommend him.
