My family of 6 was well taken care of

This was a really great experience, especially since my 4 teenagers can sometimes lose interest fast. Not this time! The day had just enough enough switching of activities to keep everyone happy as we didn't stay in any one place (or boat) too long. The van they picked us up in couldn't have been nicer - I mean it was first class! At the floating market, the canal boat ride we took before we switched to a paddle boat for the floating market was really nice - we enjoyed seeing the different 'neighborhoods' and we saw several huge monitor lizards. I do feel like going with With Locals made the experience better than most of those I have done with Get Your Guide or Viator. It was the little things like Piyaporn taking the initiative to grab things for us at the floating market (that she paid for) like bananas fried in coconut milk, coconut ice cream, mango sticky rice, etc. She would just grab something and say "Try this!". Or the cold wet towels when we got back in the van at the end of the day to head home. And the super nice driver we had. And I'm not sure if it happens on every booking, but we also got to make a quick stop (on the canal tour) at a property with some amazing old Chinese boats and some of the most beautiful large Thai carvings I have seen since arriving. I wasn't sure if driving an hour and half from Bangkok would be worth it but it totally was. I've never seen anything like the floating market and when you couple that with canal tour, the railway market and coconut farm - it was a total yes for us. And I would absolutely book with With Locals again.

Polly is THE BEST!!

Polly was the absolute best tour guide we could have picked for a full day private tour guide experience to Ayutthaya. Here's why: 1) Great communication starting with the booking details and throughout the tour itself. 2) Had all the details sorted out and was very organized, and even brought us snacks and water! 3) Incredible knowledge and passion for sharing Thai culture and history and information about Thai-style Buddhism. 4) SUPER caring and kind - Polly went out of her way to help us with a cell phone issue we encountered (that had nothing to do with the tour) - we can't thank her enough for this <3 She also made sure we were comfortable and customized the private tour experience for us. 5) Took lots of pictures throughout the tour - some of which are my favorites from my whole vacation. 6) Made us feel like we were seeing added cool stuff - some of the little tucked away details and spots not all tour guides bring people to. 7) Provided opportunities for us to respectfully participate in several little activities at the temples. 8) Comfy private car and driver. I assumed we'd just be in a taxi, but we actually had a driver for the day. 9) Prepared with digital maps, illustrations, and photographs to enhance our knowledge as she taught us about aspects of Thai history and culture. 10) Very professional. The day was-well-planned and she was really prepared down the every detail. When I go back to Thailand, I will 100% book another tour with Polly. She gets our highest recommendation - our time with her was one of the highlights of an amazing trip to Thailand.

A fantastic day out.

We had a realy fantastic day out toghether with Piyaporn. She was a very nice person and know the area and the people. We are glad we choose to get a personal guide that only have focus to teach us about what we experience. We have a big comfortable van with a good driver for us self. Well worth the money.
