Traveler reviews
Temples with Coco
Coco our guide made the day for us. She was so kind and new a lot background to all the temples. She’s very funny and every now and then we had a really good laugh. In the end she even made sure that we got into the right underground line back to our hotel. The tour itself is very interesting if you’re a bit into the history of the country itself. And if your not, you’ll get curious. To be fair, after the third temple you’ve seen it and you don’t really need to get into the fourth and fifth one. But that’s not a big deal, in our case Coco asked us if we wanted to go inside the last two temples or not. So you can decide whether you want to go or not. This is very important because you have to pay for the temple entrances. It’s not pre paid with the tour. The hight of admission fee is different for each temple but somewhere between 50 & 100 baht per person. Our group was very cool and definitely not to big. We were seven guests plus Coco. The trip was really a full day, meeting in the morning worked out very well and the day felt shorter than it was. Coco took us to a very nice little restaurant by the river for lunch, which you pay by yourself.
Super informative tour!!!
Jon the guide and the driver Mr Pong were very accommodating and kind! Please book it if you like to learn history!!! When the company asked me to change my chosen schedule I was a bit concerned if they would cancel because my schedule in Bangkok was already compromised but thankfully they were able to do the chosen date and time that I booked originally, I ended up being the only one on this tour. Jon was very very knowledgeable, he shared a lot of information with me which I think that’s what I liked the most of this tour, I love knowing about the history and customs of the places I visit and probably this has been one of my favorite tours ever. He answered to all the questions I had about Thailand, thai people, plants, animals, food, Buddhism and of course Ayutthaya. He even made sure to offer taking pictures of me in every spot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me! The car was clean and Mr Pong was always cleaning it! it smelled a little bit of humidity inside but it was very clean and well maintained, the AC was on during the whole trip and they kept insisting on opening and closing the door for me. We did a couple of breaks in between which was very much appreciated as it was really hot and I’m not used to it. The seatbelts were working which is always good. For lunch we went to a local restaurant and Jon thankfully was able to order something vegan for me, stir fried vegetables, mushrooms and tofu with a side of rice, it was really yummy and nutritious after standing in the sun for several hours. I will make sure to book more tours with this company whenever I get back to Thailand, khob kuhn ka!!!
Good introduction at a reasonable pace
We had a great day hitting the high points of Ayutthaya and the surrounding area. The pacing was very reasonable and our guide, Coconut, was very knowledgeable. She had a good sense of humor and her explanations were helpful and her feel for the group's dynamics was solid. King was an excellent driver who was very attentive to the group's timings. Overall the experience was a pleasant way to cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. I recommend you consider this tour for an initial dive into the Ayutthaya period of Thai history.
An Amazing Trip Back in Time
The best way to spend an extra day in Bangkok! The vibrant Thai history and culture were brought to life with stories about each incredible location, and every place was so unique and photogenic. Coco was an amazing and informative guide/pro photographer and made this an 11/10 tour. There was so much to see, but the pacing was just right and never felt overwhelming, with plenty of free time to explore. The lunch stop was also a cute little spot right on the river with some delicious authentic food...highly recommend the stir-fried snakehead! Would do this again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend to any and all who enjoy taking a trip back in tme and getting immersed in an incredibly rich culture.
Lovly day!
It was a very lovely day, and our guide, Coconut, was also really great. Additionally , she is a very good photographer. I highly recommend her to everyone.
