I ordered the shared departure transfer and ended up getting a private transfer. The driver actually came to my location in a Benz. But considering how they have completely messed up my other half day tour (temple tour), I believe they were trying to redeem themselves. Note readers - triple check with the tour company for pick up location for each of your tours (I booked multiple with the same tour company) if you are located outside of their pick up area.

I felt our time spent at the actual Ayutthaya ruin sites were too short. I felt really rushed during the entire trip. For those who are actually interested in seeing the ruins, I'd advise you to choose something else. The river cruise was also unimpressive. I'd rather take the ferry in Bangkok because there was really nothing interesting to see on the way back.

There were to 4 parts to this trip. The first part was a visit to a local market. Frankly I didn't really need to go on a tour to see this as I've walked through enough markets in Bangkok already. Part 2 was the ox cart ride. I didn't really enjoy this part because it was clearly a very touristy thing to do. The ox was pulling the cart rather slowly and it was very dusty the entire way. Our ox cart "driver" was on his cellphone the entire time. Part 3 was when we actually went inside to the Khao Yai National Park to see the waterfall. There really isn't much to see on the way to the waterfall (no wildlife) and the waterfall was less than impressive since I went during the dry season. Then the finale was the elephant ride. That experience alone made up for the majority of the tour. For the price I paid, I don't think this was worth it. I think I'd rather pay half the price and just get the elephant ride somewhere else.
