Susan - Thailand - 2025-07-01

"This was my parents’ first trip to Thailand, even though I’ve visited several times before. We had dreamed of seeing the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and it was even more beautiful than we imagined. I booked the private tour so my elderly parents could enjoy everything at a comfortable pace. The guide was calm, patient, and never rushed us. The van was brand new, spacious, and equipped with umbrellas and a wheelchair (which we used for free!). Booking this kind of private service made everything so much easier for my parents — they felt relaxed the whole time. Thank you to our lovely guide and kind driver for making this such a memorable day!"

"Ayutthaya was HOT… and rainy! We booked a full-day tour and yes, it was exhausting — but totally worth it. Our guide was amazing! Super chill, didn’t rush us, and even showed us some hidden photo spots I wouldn’t have found on my own Our driver was also great — brand new car, cold A/C, snacks on board, cold towels, and even umbrellas when the rain hit. Honestly, I felt very well taken care of. Tiring day, but full of cool moments. Highly recommend if you want a smooth trip in comfort"
Ayutthaya’s Heritage: Boat Ride & Elephant Bathing Adventure [Private Tour]

Münche - Germany - 2025-05-12

"Wir hatten einen wundervollen Tagesausflug nach Ayutthaya mit Oriental Escape. Die Kinder waren begeistert – besonders die Bootsfahrt auf dem Fluss war für sie ein echtes Highlight! Die historischen Tempel waren beeindruckend, und unser Reiseleiter hat alles auf eine kindgerechte und spannende Weise erklärt. Ein besonderes Erlebnis war das Beobachten der Elefanten beim Baden – ein Moment, den unsere Kinder sicher nie vergessen werden. Die Organisation war perfekt, der Fahrer sehr freundlich und das Fahrzeug komfortabel und sauber. Diese Tour ist absolut empfehlenswert für Familien mit Kindern – sie bietet eine perfekte Mischung aus Kultur, Natur und entspanntem Spaß. Vielen Dank an das Oriental Escape-Team für diesen unvergesslichen Tag!"

"My mom and I had the best day ever with Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Belt. They gave us a first class and memorable experience where we felt very taken care of! Mr. Rabbit is so talented, knowledgeable, warm, and genuine, as well as an amazing photographer. He is truly an exceptional guide and an amazing person; we felt like we were out touring with an old friend! Mr. Belt was a very kind and skilled driver. He always helped us in and out of the van and supplied us with cold drinks and towels throughout the day. If we can someday return to Thailand, we would love to book another tour with them both! "

"Even though the weather was hot, I really enjoyed this tour. We booked a relaxed, no-rush private tour. Personally, I like taking photos and am not very interested in history, so the guide helped me find some secret photography spots where there weren't many people. The lunch was good; I'm satisfied. I give it 5 stars."
