The Ultimate Ancient city of Ayutthaya Private Day Trip

Ayutthaya was incredible to see, and Piyaporn was very knowledgable about each ruin and the overall history of the site. On top of that, she was very kind, answered all of our questions, and had a great sense of humor. Piyaporn was also very accommodating when it came to picking me and my friends up at separate hotels in the morning, and she was super helpful when it came to translating our lunch orders. We learned so much from our day trip to Ayutthaya and could not recommend a better guide!

Polly is a very knowledgeable guide. She was adorable and thoughtful with us during the whole experience. She also recommended a great restaurant to have lunch at and we had a very good day thanks to her. Thank you!

We spent the day with Ms. Polly, an excellent tour guide, and Mr. Pop, an impeccable driver. They picked us up at the hotel with a cool, new black car. Polly made the trip very enjoyable explaining all sort of details from Bangkok and the regions we were going through. One of the first things she said was that she would probably be able to answer 99% of the questions and then Google the 1% left: we bombarded her with questions all day and she was able to answer 100% of them! She was also very attentive from the get go: I asked a question at the beginning of the trip, she answered something related and we discussed for 15 on some other topic. Then, when there was some (natural) silence during the trip she remembered that she hadn’t answered my original question and answered it proactively, showing how much she was involved instead of just passively waiting during the trip to Ayutthaya! The trip was very well planned out, very beautiful and diverse visits of temples and nature. The driver was always waiting at the perfect spot, we never had to wait for him, we felt treated like royalty! Polly also has a good English so it was easy to follow her explanations, even with her covid mask. Polly was always proactively explaining the history of Ayutthaya and Thailand more broadly, and answering all our questions with patience and good humor. We were then brought for lunch to a place that felt a bit touristy, but not too much, with good river views and had some time on our own. Polly kindly shifted the trip 1h because I asked her to see the sunset in Ayutthaya, which we got lucky (she mentioned it can’t be seen some days because of fog) and got to enjoy! That meant we came back during the night. The driver still felt super safe and calm. I was very tired, but my partner and, particularly, Polly were not, and she kept answering all our questions and explaining more and more interesting things until the very last minute! Finally, Polly made lots and lots of great pictures, and she knew where to take particularly-beautiful ones. After the trip, she sent them all on Whatsapp. I asked her to send them to Google Photos and she kindly redid it all again twice, as there was an initial tech problem. I had already paid her and everything, yet she still went the extra mile. Before the trip we were concerned we had spent too much money, as it indeed is a bit pricey, but after an exceptional day with Polly, we think it was totally worth it!
