VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Tour was maybe a little ambitious, trying to cover a lot in one day. In summertime, the tour duration could be extended to fully make use of sunlight. Time spent at Dover beach was only 20 mins, and I would have liked to go up to the cliffs. At Greenwich, just a short explanation of the history, and no visit to the observatory. However, Leeds Castle and Canterbury were good, and the food at the Canterbury restaurant was alright (baked potatoes and dessert). Our tour guide Margo was friendly, welcoming and helpful. However, if she had used the mike on the bus, would have been helpful, instead of asking us to plug in the earphones to hear her. Overall, alright if you want a quick tour of Southeast England.

We found the tour very tiring. We were hurried along by the tour director when it was not necessary ( especially to the river to catch the ferry) and had to wait for 30 or more minutes once we arrived. The meal at the Three Tuns Hotel was disgustingly awful. The worst fish and chips we have had in our long lives.. We were told we would have bread and butter with it which did not materiallise.and may have been the best part of the meal. Walking from the coach to the hotel was quite a distance and then back again to the cathederal. We enjoyed Leeds castle and the Canterbury Cathederal but found it all too much for one day.

Did not think that the tour guide was very responsive to peoples needs
one lady was sick and he did not try to help her much at all! Also made last minute decisions re plans at the end and some people were left stranded.
