VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

Great trip, very nostalgic if you know the story of the death railway ( not the film) a long day but well worth it. Good food stop as well.

Was picked up on time by a courteous staff. The bus was clean and fairly new. Sam our tour guide was knowledgeable and went out of his way to help us. Great tour.

Great full day experience!!! We loved the whole trip! Very worth the price as there is so much you get to do!! Loved the train ride, pay the few dollars extra and upgrade to "VIP", it was worth it!

A great day but be prepared for an early start and late return. We found the museum to be very interesting but would have liked to have had more time to walk in the beautifully kept cemetery. We felt very rushed. Definitely a worth while day trip. Thank you.

The day was good and well organised. The hotel pick up was efficient. The guide was very pleasant and informative. The driver was good. The coach clean and comfortable. The itinerary was good, though would have appreciated more time in the memorial gardens. The museum was good and informative. The train journey was good, though we were not keen on the refreshments which we considered not ideal for tourists. As regards the buffet that too wasn't worth risking. There were lots of comfort breaks and opportunities for purchasi additional drinks. The day was really good and much appreciated.

Good full day tour. Take your time in the museum if you don't already know the full history of the building of the railroad. It is well documented there and will make the train ride more meaningful.
Lunch was good. Tour guide was knowable.

Overall good experience except the train ride was too long....

I found your site very easy to use and it was easy to book the tour that I wanted. I received the booking confirmation quickly.

One of the best tours we have been on tour guide and driver best ever

The fast boat ride would appeal to some but should be an option. I would have preferred to get extra time at the museum, which we had to race through in the one hour provided. Couldn't get to the Ceme<x>tary at all.
Transport was comfortable and guide was very good.

A very special trip - very poignant at times but beautifully organised with a rail trip at the end to die for. The only problem and its a logistical one is the long long journey back.

yes i would recommend you to other people i found the site info was very good nn ***

Although the all scenery that I encountered were beautiful and amazing, one day trip is not long enough to enjoy the place. I think that at least 3 days are necessary to enjoy around there. Otherwise, the journey time from Bangkok occupies too much in the itinerary.

excellent day and well organised

We had a great time on this tour. It was a long trip but well worth the effort. The guide was really friendly and very informative. Couldn't fault it.

For a 1 day tour too much driving was involved.

Fantastic trip-outstanding value for money. Trip is a full day excursion from 6.15 am to 8.00 pm but with time to see all of the points of interest. Highly recommended with a great lunch.

Very nice trip and well organised. It is really worthy, the view, things to see, the lunch, it was ok.

We know that time was very limited, given the travelling to & from Bangkok, however perhaps a little more time to see the museum & ceme<x>tary would be good. Apart from that, an excellent tour! Many thanks!

Very interesting tour to the north of Thailand. Background information is provided about the region's history. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Enjoyed the day immensley. Both driver and guide were easy going, friendly and professional with plenty of time to do the looking around.

Only video taken.

Thanks again guys, but perhaps make it a little cooler next time. (Joking)

The guide was excellent and competent. The tour very interesting and emotional, and on the train we had dreamy landscapes; the journey of 90 mins has flown .... I got more than I expected! Next tour with your organization. Thanks!

Guide was excellent and was able to tell us quite a bit about Thai culture as well. It is a pity the train trip is for so long but I can understand given that it ends at some of the more original structures. The return trip ending in a traffic jam was a negative.

I really enjoyed the tour to the River Kwai, enjoyed the boat ride to the bridge, walking over the bridge and also loved the Death Railway ride. The old train went fast. The Museum and Cemetery were both very interesting - I wish I had had more time at them. Overall, I would love to do the tour again and discover more things. The lunch at the lovely restaurant was really special also. We also travelled throughout the day in a large comfortable coach with air conditioning. Thankyou very much.

we realy enjoyed this tour and told everyone about it in our hotel. the guide was excellant very patience and understanding, first time visitors in a new country they made us feel very welcome thank you very much, we have no photos yet

The most interesting part (for me) was the visit to the museum. The train journey was a bit of a waste of time, as we didn't really see either cuttings or jungle to give us an idea of what the workers had to endure.

Tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Good food. Ran at a good pace. Fully recommend

Good value for money.I would certainly useCity Discovery Tripswhen I next travel overseas.
