TripADeal Reviews

This the first experience with Trip a deal and love it

Wowww, where do I start. From touchdown in Calgary and meeting our tour guide Laura, was the most fantastic, informative, fun, scenic tour that I could have imagined….Canada is beautiful, and exceeded all my expectations. The 2nd part was boarding the Kongingsdam in Vancouver for a breathtaking 7 day Alaska cruise….very port was exceptionally beautiful. So very happy that I got the opportunity to see that part of the world.

This was our first time with TripADeal, very happy with the company, well organised and tour guide are all professional. Very happy with the tour, but a rush, especially in Beijing, overall are all good. Highly recommended.

A brilliant, caring and knowledgeable Tour Leader in Brenden Miles. An excellent driver, Adam. The stay at the resort in Sukau with its three cruises along the river was an absolute highlight.

The guides were informative and the tour inclusions were of a great standard. Ha Long Bay was a highlight. Tips for improvement - it would be great if accommodation could be provided closer to the main tourist centres; also in the information provided about the trip, it would be good to include information about tipping the boat crew as an extra where the Ha Long Bay cruise is included in the itinerary - I had only anticipated tipping for the Trip a Deal guide/driver so it was lucky we had extra cash on us.

We loved the trip, only criticism was spiraling stairs on boat, hotel in Seim Reap was poor standard in accom and breakfast. Everything was well organised and on time We met a lovely group of people We loved cruising down the Meekong

We went on an added boat ride on Lake Brienz to pass the time and it was magical. The hotels were in great locations, breakfasts were great.

Staff were all amazing. Outstanding customer service. Food was exceptional All tours were informative Our tour guides were also amazing. So much fun My only suggestion would maybe be some sort of entertainment on board although we did have one show that was amazing My only complaint would be the lunch on the day we flew out. We were giving lunch at a motel and allowed access to the facilities for the afternoon. Pool and pool bar were amazing. The lunch was pretty ordinary.

This is my third TripADeal holiday and the organisation this time was amazing. In particular, there were 3 buses on this trip and the buses were staggered and didn't all arrive at the same time at the hotels. Our Tour Director, Christopher McPhee, went into the hotels and collected our room keys before we got off the bus and gave them to us which meant that there were not crowds of people in the hotel foyers waiting to receive their room allocation and keys. This didn't happen on my last trip, Beauty of the Balkans, and it was very chaotic but this time, it was very civilised and appreciated. The places were visited were beautiful and the rest stops were always at interesting places not just roadside petrol stations like I experienced in the past. Again very much appreciated.

Started at Kuching and each day built a higher level of experience than the previous one which was a huge positive for a first time trip a deal traveller.

We loved the excellent guides with us on our journeys. They were personable, funny and attended to all our needs, nothing was too much trouble. The Ha Long Bay cruise and the Angkor Wat tour were our 2 main highlights

Mark from Heritage Tours was amazingly knowledgeable! He shared plenty of history and stories from the regions we travelled through. The food and accomodation were top notch. We loved every minute of this holiday and shared it with lovely people.

From pickup at the airport to the comfort of the hotels, the guides and their experience and all the sights we saw as well as free time, it was a great experience and I highly recommend this tour. Nothing to fault.

Guides were great(Sean Beijing & David Shanghai), Juneyao airlines were excellent, all the hotels were 5 stars except one in Wuxi which was still nice just getting a bit old. all the attractions Great wall , Tiananmen Square ,Forbidden city etc were amazing. Maybe let go of the optional Maglev train ride and have a full day in shanghai city at leisure then into the optional night cruise. The trip was well worth the money and would highly recommend doing. If you don't have some degree of basic fitness then the 10 day tour may be difficult and you can become a burden on the rest of the group, you will average 20000 steps per day at a reasonable pace.

All aspects of Switzerland were covered on this tour with the ease of transportation you would only expect from the Swiss. In my free time the half fare card helped me save on transport for my own little adventures. I loved that my luggage was transported for me every day. It was seamless with such an experienced and dedicated tour leader making sure everyone got their best experience. One of the many hotels was a little unsatisfactory, but all others were fantastic. Location of all hotels was amazing. Could easily survive on a budget, eating from the co op/ supermarkets as they have a wide range of ready to go hot and cold meals, or splurge with a vast array of restaurants and cuisines. This was my second time on this tour and still loved it just as much.

This trip was absolutely fantastic and the organisation was flawless. I loved the service of transporting our luggage to each hotel for us. The accomodation was all well located, the facilities at the Grand Hotel Suisse in Montreux, the Hotel Walter au Lac in Lugano and Hotel Drei Konige in Lucerne were particularly comfortable. The male reception staff members at The Hotel Alexander were terrific, so polite and helpful. I did all of the optional add on tours, all were well run and organised. The JungFrau and Matterhorn, whilst obviously both unique, had similar experiences in terms of travel, and ice cave features, I would have loved to have had an optional of something different such as a cooking class. The trip was fairly hectic and the travel to St Moritz was a long day leaving us no time to explore the town, I would have preferred to skip St Moritz and spend an extra day in Lugano. An extra day in Montreux would also have been nice. Our tour leader Paul, was exceptional. His knowledge, enthusiasm, organisational skills and fun and unflappable temperament made the trip all the more enjoyable.

Riding in the balloons in Cappadocia Turkey

After 30yrs of waiting so visit Istanbul my dream came true. I could have spent more days as there's one highlight after another, to mention one would be an insult to all the others. Can one highlight Ephesus and omit Hagia Sophia, Cappadocia, Pergamon. I loved it all

The tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable. The food was nice. The tour was planned well. The transport was comfortable.

seeing the countries, the driver and tour guide worked well together. The bus was great. only problem was hearing and finding the water bottles that kept falling on the floor as nowhere to put them. NO pouch or net.

We loved our trip. Three nights in each location worked really well. Each location was fabulous and different. Would highly recommend Victoria Falls, safari's at Ivory Tree Game Lodge, the Rovos Luxury Train and Cape Town.

Just hope each city can stay at least two nights.

This Tour was unforgettable & exceeded my expectations. It was my childhood dream to visit and experience Africa & I could not have asked for more. I have only recently returned, so everything is still fresh in my mind. My highlights start with the crew & the camaraderie of our group. Goodness was our tour guide & from the beginning to the end she looked after us with love, care & humour. She gave us clear daily activity information always delivered with a smile, and she was a magnificent cook! There was always a plentiful supply. We loved her quirky ways & her laughter. Thank you, Goodness, you are missed. Our driver, Vince, drove us safely to each accommodation, often hundreds of kilometres of rough roads. He always had a beaming smile & a laugh and was a great dancer! Thank you, Vince. Z was the assistant and we loved his cheeky smile & ‘high 5s’. He was always ready with his arm to help the ‘oldies’ out of the bus. Z was very knowledgeable about any topic relating to the tour and he was a terrific helper in the kitchen. Thank you, Z, may you be successful with your training. Now, for our wonderful group. From strangers to friends, we shared each experience with excitement & awe. We helped eachother when help was needed, we shared in the meal prep & wash up with good humour. It was all a pleasure not a task. We laughed over the road rutting & humps! It’s so good when community can come together & take care of eachother. We were an older demographic so we became aware of each other’s needs. I miss you all! Tour highlights - Fish River Canyon, Dune 45, the local guides - eg Naukluft National Park , the Quiver Tree Forest, Etosha Game Drive, Chobe Game Drive, cruises, canoeing, glamping, flight over Victoria Falls, sunrises & sunsets, being serenaded - beautiful! Witnessing a leopard & lioness up close - wonderful! Some suggestions for improvement: -My only suggestion re the itinerary is a 2 night stay particularly on Day 12 ( Etosha National Park - Kavango River). A long drive then another long one the next day. Time for a bit of rest for both crew & clients. Sometimes we’d arrive at accommodation in the dark but given the activities & long kms I guess this is unavoidable. I’m also not sure that the trip to the hot springs in Ai-Ais in Namibia was necessary on a busy day. - Accomodation. Excellent. Some could be tweaked a little & checking in could be slow, but I was v happy with it overall. - Pre departure information Excellent. ( Is it possible in the brochure we were sent to give a clearer instruction about luggage - that it wasn’t going into separate individual compartments, rather one big storage area. I had worried a lot that my rather bulging wheelie case wasn’t going to fit!).

Good airlines selection, the hotel rooms are clean and spacious, tour guides are friendly and funny. We've arrived the hotel on day 2 at 1:20 am and we've to leave the hotel at 8 am, this schedule could be improved in the future.

Almost everything went smoothly. Our guides were excellent. Most accom was very good.

The whole trip was amazing. Everything we could have hoped to see. Our guide, Mustafa, was incredible the way he looked after us, so knowledgeable, had obvious empathy for the children in the street wherever we went, and, went above and beyond to assist one of our group when she had to go to hospital. We cannot speak highly enough of his role.

Park hotel Tokyo excellent Cruise fantastic

Total holiday was great. Deny the local guide made it most enjoyable. Only improvement would be to have two whole days at Shangri-la Rasa Ria Resort.

We were fortunate to have an excellent Tour Guide in Kurt, and driver Kardi. Kurt was courteous, caring and his local knowledge of all the selected sights and of Borneo, in general, was well delivered with a great sense of humour. Overall the whole package was well organised and while, with 28 people in the group, the folks were a happy bunch that engaged and interacted with each other. A highlight for us was the optional extra village farm visit to Kilulu. With just two of us and Kurt. Our guide, Lyn, walked us through a rubber plantation and paddy fields where we met a lovely 94 year old lady working her paddy fields and some sleepy water buffalos. This visit was special - we were treated to a welcoming and farewell song and dance routine performed by local students. Then, a wonderfully prepared dinner and an opportunity to get hands on with the stir fry. This was our first TripAdeal and we hope to sign-up for more tours.

Beautifully organised with professional guides. Hotels were great and tours were awesome. Itinerary changed at times and would have appreciated knowing this in advance with an updated itinerary emailed to me. River Cruise in Shanghai was a perfect last evening event

I enjoyed most of the places. The tour guides were friendly, honest, highly knowledgeable, helpful and respectable and with good sense of humour. They were Forest, Rocky and Jojo. I would like to thank Jojo in helping me when i was not feeling well. Thank you for your great help and support. I highly recommend Trip aDeal. Its really a Good deal! Highly recommended Warriors of China tour.

loved accommodation/ Tour Guide Laura was sensational.

Loved the Tours. Our amazing Guide Sunny looked after us so well. Very informative and knowledgeable. We saw so many amazing things. I was very impressed with the Itinerary on this Trip. India was such an interesting and colourful place to visit. This Tour really captured the History and vibrant colour of this place. We are so glad we extended our Tour to include Varanasi , as this was probably my favourite place.

Loved everything about the trip, was so full. Highlight was seeing a leopard in a tree with its kill, how they climb a tree at the height it was at, with a whole feast was jaw dropping.

Loved the people, hotels staff and above all the you guide and the bus driver. Quality of the hotels and cruise were below average with exception the reed hotel

We loved the itinerary for this trip, our tour guide Kara Franklin was so friendly and really took care of all our needs. Our Driver Nathan was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about Canada, Him and Kara worked well together. The bus was always kept clean as well. The only thing was one of the first hotels didnt have a lift which made it hard carrying our luggage's up. Most hotels were clean and comfortable. I felt we saw so much of Yellowstone, Canada and Alaska . Maybe some of the stops were a bit rushed, but I realise we had a lot of Km's we had to cover. Overall we loved the trip and our group was fantastic to travel with. The only thing I didn't like was the 7 hr wait at LAX airport before getting on to our 15hr flight home to Sydney.

This was the best value for money holiday that I have taken. We visited wonderful historical areas and experienced the culture of India.our tour guide was very knowledgeable One suggest would be visit is visit shops where you feel compelled to by local products. The highlights was the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the Red Fort and the wonder wonderful we ate.

This was a great trip full of amazing experiences. The animals, night cruise in the jungle and the Mari Mari cultural village were all highlights. We had a great group of people and our guide Paul was informative, organised and had a great sense of humour! Highly recommended.

Accommodation and food were all very good Each section of the holiday was very good The only hiccup was slight confusion at our airport pick up but no big deal The highlight of the whole experience was Quan Pham (mr Q) our guide He was extremely organised knowledgeable humorous and very friendly and helpful He made the experience so memorable and enjoyable I can thoroughly recommend this holiday

Hotels were excellent. Everything promised was as stated and superb. Tour guides brilliant and knowledgeable. Free time was excellent and timely. I have no suggestions for improvement

Loved the varieties of the trip and our tour guide was full of information

It was so much more lay back than our last trip loved the things we did & our guide Brendon & driver Adam were amazing , all our group were great & Brendon went above & beyond to try to make sure we got to see as many animals as possible thank you for our amazing trip Brett & Lesley.

The trip was so smooth and well organised with the exception of the hotel in Johannesburg which had changed names (Raddison to Destiny) and did not manage the transfer process well (making us wait for some hours to access our rooms). This was not Trip a Deal's fault I don't believe as the rest of the trip was perfect. Sebatana game reserve was a perfect place to base, and the staff and facilities (with the exception of internet access) was exceptional. Food was amazing, program was great. We did miss seeing some of the Big 5, but that was just bad luck - they are wild animals when all said and done. Loved the experience so much we are already planning a return visit.

Outstanding tour guides! Forest and Jojo were so helpful and informative. We couldn’t ask for better guides. The accommodation was a real surprise- large luxurious rooms with comfy beds. Breakfast buffets were all a bit different and we really loved trying different foods. Although there were also western options. Coffee was good and service amazing. We loved the food and there were opportunities to try authentic meals and treats. I would have liked a tour of the silk factory and pearl farm - rather than just the shops & education museum or table set up. There were opportunities to purchase things and some were a little too pushy - but it’s understandable. Didn’t get seats together on our flights - not great for a 10hour flight. Overall, we would recommend this trip. Exceeded our expectations- such good value!

Loved everything, great deal, great places to visit, great hotels, guides and worth every single cent. I liked the Great wall, the Silk factory, the Pearl factory, the Tea factory.

Thank you, Trip a Deal🙏🏼, for the most unforgettable experiences and the best tour groups that feel like family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend.

Good guide. Professional. Helpful. Available. Good driver. Good sized group which got on well. Very good hotels. Visit to Columbo could have been enhansed by offering an evening tour? Maldives very good finish to trip.

Very happy with how everything was run and ut all ran smoothly. We got to see some great sites. Only issue Some of the restaurants we get taken too are pricey compared to local ones

Guide was very knowledgeable and fun. Lisa took us to places and gave us great ideas and suggestions. 4.5 stars

Great itinerary and excellent value for money if you’re after an action-packed trip. Be prepared for lots of early starts, walking and climbing, so a reasonable level of fitness is required. The tour guides were fantastic, especially Edwardo in Peru- knowledgeable, organised, patient and thoughtful. Hotels were generally good and well located, although some could have been better planned around flight times. For example, arriving in Lima at 11pm and then travelling almost an hour to the hotel before leaving at 5am seemed unnecessary; a hotel closer to the airport would have made much more sense. Some domestic flights, such as a 9am departure instead of 6am, would also have been preferable. The Amazon accommodation at Ikam was a standout, with great food, activities and an excellent local guide, Yuri. Overall, a fantastic and memorable trip with just a few opportunities to improve the logistics.

It was the best organised holiday in our lifetime, all tour leaders were great with lots of knowledge and care specially Ecco in Beijing and Ivy in Shanghai. We learned a lot in very short time about China because of all great tour leaders we have already told our family and friends how much we enjoyed this trip and we are planning to go to China and other countries with the Trip a Deal again. China was amazing country with amazing people. Thanks a lot to Trip a Deal which we had chance to see a wonderful country with limited budget. Best regards, Angel & George Abramian

Extremely well organised, many excellent activities, brilliant tour guide

It was wonderful to see what South Korea has achieved since the war and to hear more about the life of Koreans from our excellent guide, Lisa Hong. Lisa made history fun and excelled herself in every way. Hotels were good and the optional tours, especially to the DMZ, were really worth doing. I didn't get to love Korean food. It was good to see that Korea was very different to the many other Asian countries I have visited. The only negative was Jetstar International, where the comfort, food and service was poor. I know it's a cheap option but I would prefer to pay more and enjoy some comfort.

I really enjoyed the whole holiday and was very impressed with the organisation of the trip. I did all the optional extra trips which were well worth it and feel it enhanced the whole experience

The tour was well organised and the leader Tom Pham was excellent with his knowledge and helpfulness. Good variety of activities and options given if did not want to attend.

An absolute breathtaking experience. Loved every moment! Didn’t want it to end.

It was an amazing holiday and would be happy to recommend it to others. The team from Nomad were extra helpful and provided a memorable experience for us. The hotel in Cape Town was very average - I would suggest the Garden Court Victoria Junction is a better option. There are two days of very long travel. An extra night in Maun after the Okavango Delta Glamping would be a good idea, the Crocodile Camp Hotel there was excellent, perhaps fill in the afternoon with a trip to the markets.

Our trip was so amazing and well organised. As soon as we catch our plane to landings to different airports it was so good. From the airports our tour guides are all waiting for us to take us to our Hotels and on the coach we're given instructions and introduction to what city we're going. It was so good all our tourists guides for this trip. Our first guide from Beijing is Forrest Song, wow very intelligent and smart, and from Xi'an we Rocky was also very good and intelligent and the last we had is JOJO from Shanghai wow she's so good and very very down to earth. Jojo was so caring and listened to our needs Can't complain about our trip we're so Blessed having this 3 Beautiful guides who treated us family as soon as we landed... We are looking for another Trip a Deal Holiday soon....Thank you trip a Deal well done!!!

Opulent India was a fantastic introduction to some of India’s top locations, with the luxury of staying in some of India’s best hotels. I can’t fault this trip. Particular thanks and acknowledgment goes to our guide (Brahm) and driver (Chandra) who ensured that our experience was perfectly curated, insightful and safe. The only negative was flying Malaysia Airlines which was uncomfortable and budget range.

Loved everything from our group, upgraded hotel accomodation sights, guide, driver and assistant excellent. Everything was a highlight. Truly memorable experience.

Great locations Helpful guides Echo, Lily and Ivy

Love everything every minute of it. Well organised team. Great tour guys. Very friendly and helpful. More of our free time to walk around will be appreciated. Well deserved Well done.

Loved everything about this trip

Exceptional experience with our trekking guide Suraj and our porters Roshan, Hari, and Balram. Despite the monsoon season, flash floodings and devastating landslides in Nepal - our guides ensured we had fun and a safe passage throughout our journey. Truly a fun adventure meeting the best people, eating delicious food and sightseeing wonderful views. Despite not being able to finish ABC - I will come back with this company in future because they were able to accomodate all the changes in plans and give us a wonderful time.

Maldives was spectacular, island facilities accommodation and island activities were all beyond our expectation.. The island was more than what we expected. All transfers were easy and effortless. Service was very friendly and the food options were very enjoyable. Singapore was also very easy. Well organised and also enjoyable.

The whole experience was amazing. Country side and sights were not disappointing.

Great holiday, fabulous easy, friendly, tour guide Dominic. Loved the places we visited, the variety was just right, travel time was never to long with a little bit of free time to relax or explore more. The pace was great. Most accommodation was good and needless to say 3 night at the Hilton in KK topped it off.

We loved every minute of our trip and there were many highlights! A Bull Elephant on our 1st river cruise, Mt Kinabalu, and every day delivered a new experience. Our guide Kurt Douglas was an absolute legend.

Great value for money, chillaxing and beautiful place!

My highlights were the people of Borneo, who are very friendly and helpful. Our guide, Kurt, was very knowledgeable regarding all things Borneo, especially its fauna, flora and diverse culture. Seeing the Bornean Sunbears was a special treat. Learning about the shared history of Borneo and Australia in the Second World War was probably the most heartrending experience of the entire experience.

Second time to India - returning to show my son. It was how I remembered it - unreal. Great guides. The tour is fun with others. No issues with being hassled or scammed. It’s all negative press. Forget what you see on the internet - it’s no worse than going to Bali. Would recommend staying longer and doing Jodhpur and Udairpur. Easy and cheap to organise transport on Viator etc. Use local Tiuk Tuk to get around. Can also be pre booked.

Despite it being the tail end of the monsoon season the trip was fabulous. We were unable to complete the circuit due to poor track conditions but the section to Poon Hill return was fabulous. Very scenic and it was lovely going through the small villages and getting a glimpse into their everyday lives. Lots of farms and farm animals, as well as shrines & tea houses and schools. The add on to Chitwan NP was brilliant and would highly recommend everyone to do it. Food and accommodation was great and the guide and Sherpas were very helpful and had our safety utmost. Alternate travel plans were arranged seamlessly. Our lift from the airport did not arrive, which was disappointing and stressful but the Nepalese were very helpful in solving this issue for us.

From the first contact with our tour guide in Hanoi until departure for return in Siem Reap, the tour went smoothly. Add on tours were well organised, always entertaining, and were geared to the grouo enjoying local customs and colour. Accommodation and included breakfast and other meals meant we could enjoy local delicacies. The Ha Long boat cruise was scenically stunning, and tai chi on the deck in the early morning was a lovely way to start the day. The Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge with a cable car ride up and down the mountain were a stand out for spectacular scenery and novel 'theme park' attractions. Siem Reap and the visit to Angkor Wat with its centuries of history was fascinating: so tranquil and incredibly atmospheric.

The accomodation was excellent. Our guide was exceptional. He was always considerate, provided information each afternoon of the following day, plenty of bathroom stops and was very informative. Highlights included the elephant safari, our free day in Galle, all activities, and the food.

Most of the hotels were very good. The tour through the mountains was so lovely n the places we visited although we did spend a lot of time in the bus.

The Wellness retreat was very restorative - daily massage, Ayurveda treatments, yoga and meditation. All provided in a beautiful location.

Our guide Dominic was sensational, a great guide. Our tour group was a great group of people who got along very well. This was the first group holiday my husband and myself had ever been on and we really enjoyed it. We are looking forward to another TripADeal holiday.

Well what a marvellous trip ! Trip A Deal do it well. Met others that had been on previous Trip A Deal tours they also raved about your tours. The Tour guides were excellent, the Tour Guide, Eirini, that travelled with us from London to Venice was Exceptional, knowledge, organisational skills, communication & sense of humour ✅️✅️✅️. I'm already promoting Trip A Deal to anyone that will listen & believe I will take advantage of offers again,when Im next able to travel. THANK YOU.

Our trip was great!! It was our first Euro summer and we love the places we went to! We got engaged during this trip, in Alberobello :) We loved our tour leaders and made friends with the others on our tour :) I do wish it was a longer trip.

The places were amazing. People in the group were friendly and most importantly, our tour guide was fantastic. He goes above and beyond for us. His name is Kenta. Thank you Kenta for making my holiday a memorable one. I highly recommend Kenta to anyone. Thank you

We had an amazing trip which was well organised and went like clock work. Our tour guide Grazia was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for her. Our whole group had nothing but praise for her. Every town we visited was a highlight as we were experiencing a new country and its history.

We love the Beijing Experience. Our Tour Guide Angel was amazing. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. 5 star to her. But the only let down in our Beijing experience was the photographers, was kind of a ripoff (he said something with the price and later didn’t fulfilled what was agreed). Overall the Beijing experience was amazing thanks to our tour guide Angel and to our amazing driver. Shanghai was okay. Our tour guide Summer was not as amazing as our tour guide in Beijing.

Loved the scenery in Namibia. Loved the game drives in Etosha and the Okavango Delta. Loved Victoria Falls.

Great tour guide - Phyllis. Very well organised. Saw a lot in a short time. Accomodation was well placed & clean. A good mix of wildlife & cultire

Three weeks of highlights, culture, food scenic sights and friendship. From Sa Pa; Hanoi to Saigon. We were a small group 16; lovely people we made connections. 3 guides, all excellent they gave us the best experiences and help when needed. Vietnamese are kind, patient and honest. Hotels in central position, easy to walk to highlights and enjoy local food and shopping. Would love to go back again.

It was such an amazing experience. The safari was right up to expectation, accommodation, food were all amazing, so many animals. Then to have the break at the very end in Zanzibar- was right point!!! I would highly recommend this trip!!!

I really thought the various tour guides were very good and helped make decisions on the ground much easier to navigate.

This trip delivered on nearly everything. We had great animal interactions and saw the top 5 wild animals in Borneo. The guide we had was experienced, knowledgeable and went the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience and remained safe throughout our travels. The one thing that could be changed is the first hotel we stayed at In Sandakan was only average, We had friends staying in the Ormond and for a few hundred dollars the Ormond would have been a much better introduction to Sandakan and Borneo.

The all inclusive Best of Japan cruise was fantastic, from the JAL flights direct from Sydney to the accommodation at Park Hotel in Tokyo and the Celebrity Millennium Cruise. The cruise itinerary was excellent and the ship itself although Celebrities oldest ship it was great, staff, food entertainment were all good. We were able to plan our own site seeing in Tokyo and all the ports of call, which meant we saw all the sites we wanted to either by public transport or organised tours. The only downside was the tome of year we chose, summer heat and humidity in Japan meant it wasn’t all that pleasant walking around. Japan and it’s people and beautiful loved our trip

The Ha Long Bay trip was really lovely and also the trip to Pu Luong. Our guide Garvan was absolutely fantastic.

Exceptional places to visit Sharm el Sheikh was a very pleasant surprise

Excellent holiday, excellent experience excellent guide, excellent value, highly recommended to other travellers.

The cruise was very professional run and the ports of call were varied and very interesting.

The Best of Borneo trip was excellent value for money. Accommodation choices ranged from Satisfactory (Sandakan) to superb (Hilton @ Kota Kinabalu). Sarah, our local guide, was excellent. We loved her enthusiasm and fun, her depth of knowledge which she freely shared and her constant consideration for everyone on the tour. Food choices throughout the tour were satisfactory with plenty of variety and good quality although the constant buffet style and actual dishes at meals became a little too predictable at times. (This was a minor issue for us though.) Highlights - Undoubtedly the animals, both orphaned and in the wild. Particularly loved all 3 of the river cruises. Found the 'bat cave' totally fascinating. The Mari Mari cultural village was superb. Enjoyed the distinction between the wildlife portion of the tour and the city section at the end. Appreciated the balance between organised activities and free time to explore on our own. Lowlight - The last group meal together at the wedding venue. Perhaps the lowest quality food for the entire tour.

ENTABENI WILDSIDE was a massive highlight the staff accomodation food guide and safari's this whole trip including Victoria Falls met way above our expectations!!!

Very efficiently run, good company, good trip leaders. Perhaps the trip leaders were a little too enthusiastic with organizing feasts which sometimes happened twice a day. I wonder what happens to the waste food, and there was plenty of it.

All i wanted to see from this tour was Orang-utans in the wild, not behind a cage. This tour exceeded my expectations as I got to experience so much more wildlife up close. To witness more than 20 elephants crossing the river was unbelievable. Our tour guide Michael was fantastic and passionate about his country, conservation, nature and wildlife. Thanks also to our wonderful driver Mohammed. The itinerary was perfect going from jungle to river to ocean. It was perfectly paced and did not feel rushed. There was enough free time as well as included activities. I loved the 2 days staying at the river lodge and the 3 boat trips where i saw the Borneo Big 5. The meals included were awesome, I never felt hungry. Accomodation was great and I loved how it was so varied. It would have been nice to have had a tour of the Sabah tea Plantation especially as we were staying there or given a talk and samples of tea. This was my first Trip A deal and will definitely not be my last. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our tour guide Kristina Love was outstanding! She was interesting, funny, smart, kind and geniune. Her knowledge gave a very good insight into each country and she also had good suggestions and was very helpful.

Ba na Hill was the best.
