Compact tour that doesn't miss out on the main attractions. Hour travel time from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and another hour from Ayutthaya to the river. River cruise was lovely with a large spread of food.

Absolutely amazing day! Start to finish! Guide was excellent. Ruins were fascinating. Lunch buffet was huge and cruise back was so much better than a bus.

The Ayutthaya temples were great. Must see. Great experience and not too far from Bangkok. Always wanted to see where the movie kixkboxer starring Jean Claude van damme was filmed.
