Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the former capital of Siam, Ayutthaya is one of Thailand’s most important historical destinations. It offers a completely different atmosphere from Bangkok — peaceful, open, and rich in architectural beauty.

Ayutthaya is a sacred site. All visitors must adhere to a respectful dress code. Shoulders and knees must be covered (no tank tops, shorts, or mini-skirts). Lightweight, breathable clothing is highly recommended due to the heat.

Yes! Because you have a private van, this tour is incredibly family-friendly. The van can drop you off very close to the temple entrances, minimizing walking distances compared to large bus tours. You can also take A/C breaks in the van whenever needed.

The walking is moderate and mostly on flat ground. However, the terrain around the ruins can be uneven, and the sun can be intense. Comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen are a must.

Absolutely. While our sample itinerary covers the absolute highlights, this is a private tour. If you have a specific temple you want to see, just let your guide know on the morning of the tour.

Meals are not included so you have complete freedom to choose what you want to eat! Your guide will happily suggest fantastic local spots that fit your budget and tastes.

For this specific tour we will pick you up directly from your hotel in Bangkok and also bring you back to the hotel in the evening.

Customer Feedbacks

  • We took the Day Trip Journey to Ayutthaya and the Add-On Package with the Rice Farm. We always prefer engaging activities instead of doing too many guided tours through temples, etc. The experience on the rice farm was exactly what we were hoping for. We gained insights into rice farming and how people live while having fun with them and working in the actual rice field. This was definitely our highlight. We can recommend the add-on for everyone who likes to have an immersive experience. Apart from that, we also enjoyed the rest of the tour as well. A big surprise was the elephant bathing.

  • My husband booked this tour for surprising our wedding anniversary. Although I am Thai, I have never thought travelling along the river is such a fascinating experience. We have been in Bangkok so many times but only the city side. This is the first we travelled by boat. We got picked up from our hotel which is super convenient. The sunset in the Chao Praya River is amazing. Unfortunately, we booked the evening tour which was not very long. I wish we had more time and book a longer tour to see other side of Bangkok. I will definitely book this tour again when we visit Bangkok. If you are looking for unforgettable experience, we recommend this!

  • 上次来曼谷玩偶然间定了这艘游船，很私密，适合小家游，大概不超过五人吧。本以为跟国内游船差不多，玩了之后必须力荐。老板娘很赞，泰国本地人，还帮我们额外定了岛上的自行车🚲，水陆皆宜，尤其是孩子玩的非常开心。下次来曼谷还找老板娘噢么么哒

  • Uns hat die Bangkok Tour sehr gut gefallen. Unser Guide war sehr freundlich und hat sich gut ausgekannt. Besonders hat uns gefallen, dass die Tour sehr abwechslungsreich war und wir Bangkok in seiner Vielfalt in einer einzigen Tour kennenlernen konnten. Besonders empfehlenswert ist die Tour, wenn man – so wie wir – nur wenige Tage in Bangkok ist, da man in kurzer Zeit sehr viel sehen kann.
