Private​ Ayutthaya​ World​ Heritage​ Site​ with​ Food​ Tasting​​

0700 tour: hotel pickup, Railway market, coconut sugar farm, floating market, Ayutthaya, hotel drop. Our tour guide Ms. Lek and driver Bung V were amazing! Ms. Lek is very knowledgeable about Thailand history and culture, as well as day to day life in the modern city. Bung was punctual, safe on the road, and accommodating to our needs (stops for eating and stops for potty). Communication was great as well, even when I wrongfully inserted my phone number, Lek reached out to my hotel to ensure message about pickup arrived. Such an easy way to experience province life outside of Bangkok!

Scott the tour guide and Mr. Bangwee the driver were the perfect duo to show us the highlights of the Railway Market, Floating Market, and Ayutthaya. My husband and I decided to kick off our first full day in Thailand with this tour and it did not disappoint. From pick up to drop off Scott and Mr. Bangwee always made sure we were well taken care of. It was all about the details that made this tour so memorable. We always had cold water on hand, I would think about being thirsty but before I could ask about more water, a fresh bottle of cold water was already waiting for me in the car. The car was comfortable and clean and Scott always offered cool moist towelettes to refresh ourselves and help beat the heat. Timing was always perfect for pick up to the next location, Mr. Bangwee always showed up right on time making sure we were never waiting much in the heat. Snacks were provided throughout the trip and each one came with a nice story or fun fact to help us appreciate and enjoy what we were eating even more. Aside from what felt like extra perks of the tour (Scott and Mr.Bangwee’s attentiveness) the content of the tour was well planned and informational. I’ve been on plenty of tours and it felt like this particular tour was perfectly curated. Each stop was allocated just the right amount of time to explore and each associated description/information provided by Scott at each stop was the perfect amount of information to keep me engaged. I find that some other tours either provide too much information that I become bored or they don’t provide enough information and I feel like I’m not getting what I paid for. But this tour was the perfect balance. I even asked additional questions and Scott always had an answer. Scott was genuinely interested in sharing Thai culture and history with us that it felt less like a paid tour but more like a friend that is excited to show you around. I learned so much that when I took a different tour the next day with a different company I began to notice things Scott brought up from the day before that wasn’t a highlighted fun fact by the other tour guide. This is a must do tour. If I had to pick the 2 most memorable experiences of the tour it would be 1) guided Buddha offering and 2) eating boat noodle soup at the floating market. All moments of the tour were great, but those two experiences were unexpected which made it most memorable. Overall, this tour was quite possibly the best tour I’ve ever been on and highly recommend to anyone. There aren’t enough words to describe how much I enjoyed this tour and there aren’t enough words I could use to compliment Scott and Mr. Bangwee. Thanks for such a great tour!

We did the Private Excursion to Floating Market and Ayutthaya World Heritage Site with the earlier time to also experience the railway market. Our guide was Time and he was incredible! If you can do one tour I would highly recommend taking this tour. If you are a foodie you will enjoy lots of Ayutthaya local food. Times knowledge of the history was amazing because he was able to help us connect Thai history especially if you do this tour after visiting the Grand Palace and national Museum of Bangkok. Time realized we were big into photography and showed us some exclusive spots for taking pictures few tourists visited. If you can request him as your guide you will have a fun filled day with food and history ☺️
