VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

It is a worthwhile tour for anyone interested in Thai culture.

A brief explanation was given and then you were on your own to explore the area. Spending about 30-45 minutes was long enough to see it all.

History lesson with delicious food and great river tour..

Really good day learning about Ayutthaya and how the capitol of Siam was sacked and looted. Lots to see. Dont miss Buddha in the ficus tree. Finish off with a delicious lunch while cruising down the Chao Phrom river.

Nice tour to visit places in one day

Overall, I was very happy with this tour.
The tour had about 25 people, and we've visited Summer Palace, Ayutthaya, and have taken a cruise back to the city.
The guide was very knowledgable and entertaining, and we had fun tour with him.
Ayutthaya is a must visit place, and I'm glad that I took a guided tour. The guide provided us the history and the meaning of the places, and that have enhanced the experience.
The cruise was good as well, and I think it's a very good idea to take the cruise back to the city so that we do not have to worry about the traffic. Along the river cruise, I could see other temples and buildings, and sitting on the top deck was very relaxing.

Beautiful day

Very good the guide and very good Ayuttaya and the river cruise.

This place is amazing. You can see ruins from the old days. The view is so sad yet so beautiful.
Definitely a must do.

One day tour

I only had one full day free for sightseeing and the full day Ayutthaya up by road and back by boat was a great option for me. You can never go wrong with a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We stopped at some temples (you can see a lot of the ruins just from driving around the coach) but I liked the Wat Mahathat visit the best since we got to explore on our own. The cruise back and the waiting buffet lunch was very welcome after a full morning. The cruise was a bit too long but you can just hang out at the top deck see a lot of Bangkok landmarks along the way.

We saw so much on this tour. My favorite was the Wat Mahathat - loved that we were left alone to explore around the ruins. Giant reclining Buddha was cool, too. Cruise was surprisingly good too. I'd say it was too long but hanging out at the top deck was very relaxing, just sat there taking in the breeze except when I needed to get up every once in a while to take photos :p. Early morning start but enough time to nap in the coach! :D

The local tour Operator pick us up from the city hotel as schedule.

great trip

this was a great tour and the guide was one of the best i have had very informative

Wonderful guide.

A very beautiful day out to a beautiful set of ruins - and a lovely trip back on the boat

My day trip in Bangkok was to Ancient Ayutthaya with river cruise, it was fantastic. Informative, well organised and *** was so friendly. I saw so much and enjoyed the day immensely. I have recommended this tour already to all my travelling friends.

The trip was fantastic, transport clean and spacious, timing of the tour and stops were exceptional and Donna was a great guide.

A really good trip with a mix of ruined and in use temples. Then the palace which is a great place to wander around.
The river cruise was excellant with real good food

the tour was very good the lunch on board the boat was also excellent . good value for the money definitely would recommend it

This trip was the highlight of my time in Bangkok. The tour guide, Donna, was wonderful, knowledgeable, and always ready to snap individual pictures for everyone in the group whenever there was a good photo opportunity. It was wonderful to get outside of Bangkok for a day and take in some of the countryside. I was picked up on time from my hotel, and we were bused to the central meeting point where we met the coach. The trip up by coach was relaxing and comfortable (and the driver was non-terrifying, which is always a plus in Bangkok!). We stopped first at the summer palace, then at Ayutthaya ruins, then another temple, and finally at the huge reclining Buddha, where we also went to a small local market, before traveling to board our boat back to the city. The short stop at the small market was actually welcome, as the prices were reasonable, and it was nice to relax for a little bit with a fresh coconut. There was free water in glasses with the buffet dinner on board, no bottled water offered elsewhere, but it was easy enough to buy at most of the stops (for ~10 Baht). The tour did offer iced towels which was very refreshing in the heat. I was also pleased that they offered a choice of three different vegetarian meals to the vegetarians, so you didn't have to pick and choose your way through the buffet. Donna also personally showed me what items were vegetarian on the buffet.

Overall, excellent value for the money, and a wonderful tour. Highly recommended.

Our Tour Guide was excellent and made the day. He introduced us to our fellow travellers, explaining things of interest on the way, cared for our needs and was humorous. The tour was a lovely mixture of ancient and modern. Lunch on board was excellent and the cruise back to Bangkok was so relaxing.

beautiful - great day, lovely cruise and food and great acnient ruins. very knoweldgable and fun tour guide

Fantastic

Good guide, value for money, excellent - the only downside was seeing the Elephants chained - so sad. We spent a small fortune feeding them.

The trip got reversed so we did the cruise first and was bussed back. No big deal as it was a lovely trip and the river cruise was very relaxing.
