Incredible ruins.

My husband and I recently travelled to Bangkok for five days. After a few days of visiting temples and historical sites in Bangkok we did a day trip to the Ayutthaya, a UNESCO world site and one of the previous capitals of Siam. Aey and Mr. Sulin from MAM Holidays were amazing. Aey shared her wealth of knowledge with us while Mr. Sulin ensured we travelled safely to and from our destination. Seeing the remains of the temples left after the wars with the Burmese was truly amazing. In particular, the highlights included the Reclining Buddha, the Royal Palace with its magnificent stupas and the Wat Mahathat temple grounds with the infamous Buddha head tangled in the roots of a body tree. I would definitely recommend a day trip to Ayutthaya and MAM Holiday Tours. Ask for Aey..

So happy that we booked this tour...

So happy that we booked this tour! Our Guide Khun Aey was FABULOUS! She is much organized, knowledgeable and personable... The best tour we have joined so far. I highly recommend this tour to learn more about the Ancient capital of Thailand. There were a total of 5 stops, so a lot to see, but so happy we did see what we did. The highlights were definitely Wat Mahathat, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet and Bang Pa-In Royal Palace. The lunch at Wat Phra Sri Sanphet was really good too! If you wish to learn more about Ayutthaya then this is a must do tour..

Instagrammable Ayutthaya

We saw all of the highlights of each of the temple ruins, but started in the morning with visiting the Royal Summer Palace complex for the royal family today. The best part was our guide, Phacharakrit Wichitwarakul whose nickame is "Kit." He unfolded the stories so that we could understand and experience very best during our Private Ayutthaya Day Tour - including how Kit took pictures of us with Instagramable settings!.

Comfortable and on point tour

The personal touch and individual pace of the tour There was a lot to take in but it was all nicely tailored to our interest and time constraints. The tour managed to indulge us in a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant and took care of all our entrance fees to the venues. Our tour guide Joy was well informed and kept the conversation informative and exciting. Thank you Viator. Keep up the good work.

Horrible guide

The tour itself was ok, but the guide, jackie, not so much. Throughout the day i noticed he was smelling some plastic bottle that smelled like a strong vicky vaporub. Later he told me it was a "thai medicine" for when you are tired, so basically a legal high. On the ride back he was snorting it every 30 seconds, to the point the car was smelling like it after 15min. And then he started talking a lot about bars, girls, massages, really unprofessional and disgusting!!!.

A must while in Bangkok!

Outstanding experience! Our tour guide Benjamat and our driver took us on a beautiful adventure that included the summer palace and Ayutthaya. Along the way we had lunch and the opportunity to see the ancient capital of Siam. Transportation was private and clean with cold bottles of water and flower offerings provided as you continued..

Fantastic Experience

A fantastic trip with a very skilled and careful driver and Aey, the best possible guide. She was so knowledgeable and made it her mission to make me feel comfortable. I learnt so much about Thai history and even Bangkok. I really recommend to start the trip at 7 or 8 am, as the morning is the most peaceful time in Ayutthaya..
