Step back into the ancient capital of Thailand on a full day in Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Six temples across one day — the great stupas, the Buddha head held in tree roots, the three royal pagodas and a pagoda you climb for the view over the old city.

Good to know
If it rains: Tours run in the rain. The markets, temples, the Death Railway and the museums are not affected by weather. If one activity is genuinely unsafe on the day — swimming at the waterfall in heavy rain, bamboo rafting, or the firefly boat — your guide will replace it with another stop or refund that part of the day. We only call off the whole trip if the roads or conditions make travelling unsafe, and then you get a full refund.
Cancellation: Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your pickup time — you get a full refund. Cancellations less than 24 hours before pickup, or not turning up on the day, are not refunded. If we cancel for any reason, you always get a full refund.
Pickup zone: Sukhumvit 1–24, Sathorn, Silom, Pratunam, Phetchaburi, Chinatown and the Khao San Road area. Pickup times are estimates based on weekday traffic.
Children: 5–10 pay the child price. Under 5 come free, but still take a seat in the van — please include them when you book.
