TripADeal Reviews

Oh. My. God. What a fantastic, life changing trip! This was a bucket list experience for my mum and I and we could not have wished for a better experience. Above all our tour guides were incredible, knowledgeable, talented, caring and went above and beyond! The co-ordination, timings, accommodation, food and experiences were exceptional. Thank you!!!!! There were quite a few early starts and you need to be prepared to go, go, go most days! I think an extra day relaxing at the Red Sea and an extra day at The Dead Sea would be ideal and 6 days in Jordan vs 4 days would be amazing to see more! Having a written list of optional extra tours and the COST of extra excursions would make it easier to plan and budget and know what you’ve paid for. We had the most amazing trip - HUGE THX TO TRIP A DEAL AND ESPECIALLY OUR GUIDES!

Can’t beat this trip for value for money. Very busy itinerary so we could pack as much as possible in each day. Don’t expect too much resting or sleep ins, you have long days with lots of walking at times (which is great because you don’t want to waste a minute !) Alice Ji in Beijing was great, a very sweet lady who made her group feel welcome and safe. The Great Wall was surreal. We did some of the optional extras, & they were worth it. The Shanghai leg was fabulous, as was our guide Terry. His knowledge and attention to detail was exceptional. Accommodation was very good, as were the buffet breakfasts. We flew Juneyao Airlines, and they were quite good. Expect to be tired at the end of the 10 days, but such a ‘good’ tired ! Highly recommended!

Fantastic trip overall! Plenty of activities and enough downtime! Definitely recommend the additional safari package offered at the lodge. Guides were super fun and knowledgeable. All staff were extremely friendly and made us all feel like family!

We loved the amount of inclusions and optional tours. The sights we saw were fantastic. Our tour guides worked so hard to make everything seamless and enjoyable. The accommodation was excellent and exceeded our expectations. We will defiantly be using Trip A Deal in the future.

Had fantastic experience in Shanghai . All the optional tours are marvellous especially the acrobatic show, really enjoyed it. Wish we had more free time to roam around but it's understandable due to the traffic. Maybe next time a food trip tour to different Chinese cuisine in different regions of China, region's specialities. The tripadeal tour price is a real good value for money for the airfares, hotel accommodation with the spread of buffet breakfasts, bus tours with a fluent English speaking guides, Alice Ji in Beijing and Terry in Shanghai . Although trip a deal would only give details about your trip in 4 weeks before departure date.

The accomodations were beautiful and spacious, tour guides were very knowledgeable- especially Amanda who was absolutely amazing. The tours were interesting and fun, we enjoyed the whole trip.

The terracotta worries

Loved the Mekong cruise and the overnight Halong bay cruise. The staff on the Mekong cruise were excellent. The guide on Mekong (Cambodia part) and Hoi A guide were excellent. Enjoyed our meals on the cruises. More info on Siem Reap for our free time would have been helpful as we in hindsight should have visited more of Ankor Wat. More time at Chi chi tunnels as that was very rushed. Buses very comfortable. Nice pace. Ships right group size.

A sensational holiday with so many highlights. Firstly a big thank you to our Tour Leader Ivan. His knowledge, guidance and humour made a great experience even more memorable. Along with our drivers Kire and Dan who were professional and safe at all times. Each country had its highlights and the contrasts between them built as we went along. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour. It was our 3rd TAD tour and won't be our last. Excellent value for money !!

Wonders of Japan was a diverse trip and exactly what a wanted, a bit of Cities and a bit of the Countryside. I enjoyed all of the places we saw and stayed at. Unfortunately with tours the timeline does not always allow you to have more time at certain places. I enjoyed Tokyo Tower, Shibuya Crossing, Fish Market, China Town. I loved the village of Shirakawa-go and the Edo period town of Takayama. As far as improvements, I felt our accommodation in Tokyo was too far out of the main part of Tokyo, the accommodation it self was excellent. Most of the other accommodation were in good locations, but 2 of the hotel rooms were extremely small with hardly any space for our luggage. Our tour guide Grace was lovely and our coach driver (sorry cannot spell his name) was excellent, we all felt safe.

My partner and I absolutely loved our travel experience on the Vietnam Mountain Discovery trip. In terms of the itinerary, it was excellent. The variety in locations, the destinations and views we got to see were second to none. The food organised on the tour as well as the flexibility we had to stop and try new local foods was outstanding. We are young travellers that were really keen to see the Ha Giang loop and it was perfect. The combination of our amazing tour guide, Vung Nguyen, the itinerary, the accommodation and the amount of free time we got to have on this trip was perfect, it really ticked a lot of boxes for us. We really enjoyed the option to have free days in Hanoi for our first & last day of the trip too. Can't rate this trip enough, it was simply excellent. Our tour guide, Vung Nguyen, was amazing - couldn't give him a big enough wrap, his knowledge, passion, friendliness and welcoming feel for Vietnam was so good and made the trip so much better. We loved the trip and couldn't recommend it enough.

Our guide Tom was the hightlight, he always had a smile and absolutely nothing was too much trouble.

We highly recommend Tripadeal for seniors over 70s we had a fantastic time in china transportation was excellent and the hotel accommodation exceed our expectations the rooms are clean bright and comfortable with a great breakfast selection our guides JoJo and Jimmy treated us like family Well done to all the Tripadeal team We look forward to booking another trip !

The whole trip was wonderful for us...as first time travellers to Vietnam everything was great to see. The trip to the mountain areas was what I enjoyed most.

This was our very first trip a Deal holiday , and I’ve gotta say it was ****** awesome. Everything was perfect. The guides the organisation the accommodation, the quality of tours were outstanding. All of our guides were top notch. Knowledge, their English, fun and accomodating. Not only did we have the most fabulous time we made 18 new friends. The group of people we were with could not have been better which made the whole experience even better so thank you TripADeal you do a great job.

I loved all of the wonderful icons that we visited, the tour guide and the coach driver were amazing, the Accommodation was fantastic and well located. I researched itineraries across all of the companies and TripADeal best of Japan was the one that covered the important things for me.

People were great, guide was great pulong was my highlight,a few more days would have topped the cake

This is our second trip a deal tour and we will be booking Egypt & Jordan soon. The whole experience with Trip a Deal is outstanding. The booking process, updates and helpful instructions prior to leaving . The tour guides we had in India- Rocky and Bharat were amazing. Seriously these guys and the guides we had on previous China trip were the icing on the cake. Everyone loved them. Tours, motels & meals were great. We cannot wait for our next trip a deal tour - and there will be many more. We recommended trip a deal tour my sister and our friends who have also done tours with you - they also loved it. Well done to you!!!!!! In the below tour guide rating you need to ad outstanding.

Loved the whole trip, but would have liked to have had more time in the Forbidden City and Tian’anmen Square, the couple of hours is not enough.

A huge thank you to our wonderful tour guide, Ayumi, and our driver, Mikami-san, for making our Japan trip such a memorable experience. Ayumi was fantastic – knowledgeable, friendly, caring and always happy to help. Her passion for Japan and its culture made every day enjoyable and special. Mikami-san was equally wonderful, always professional, reliable and ensuring we travelled safely and comfortably. They made an excellent team and went above and beyond our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and driver. Thank you both for your kindness, dedication and for making our journey through Japan truly unforgettable!

With Cyclone Champi bearing down, our tour leader " Pearce" kept us informed and reassured throughout, and at no time was I concerned. Pearce was extremely professional and available at all times on our Whatsapp group, which he assisted to set up fot those who required assistance. As a first time TripADeal traveller, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service and the accommodation, both of which surpassed expectations. See you in July 2027

For a short trip was just a tast to come back for more.

We loved and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our Tour Director, Lara Lee, was excellent—knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and with a great sense of humour. Our driver, Mr Lim, was also excellent and provided a smooth ride throughout the trip. We also appreciated Mr Kim, who accompanied us and made sure no one was left behind. The weather was unexpected, with rain in both Seoul and Busan, but it did not take away from our experience. The highlight for us was Busan. What a vibrant, exciting city, with so much to see and do. We also found the centrally located accommodation very convenient. Suggestion, abit extra time at the markets would be great, to allow people to have a quick lunch and browse around. Overall, it was a tremendously enjoyable and memorable trip.

Our 3 guides were excellent. Long days, a little more free time would’ve been great. Otherwise a fantastic trip!!

Loved, loved, loved our South Korean Grandeur trip. Transfer to and from airports were all super organised and timely. Accommodation were all excellent - just one little matter that the air conditioning units were set too hot. Beds comfortable, and facilities all above standard. Meals (breakfasts mainly) were excellent buffet style. But our guide and bus driver were the true jewels of our adventure. Both highly proficient and professional. Our guide,Lara was highly knowledgeable with a good grasp of English. She mixed history with local knowledge and a great sense of humour made her very interesting to listen to. She also peppered some longer bus days with media which was well received. Loved this high energy tour!

The autumn landscapes were a highlight, as was the history of SK. We loved the Korean food. The tour guide Lara was outstanding giving us comprehensive overviews on each day of the tour. She also improvised the itinerary on days of rain to ensure we had a complete overview of each location.

Lara the tour guide was fabulous. Great at sharing stories and spoke English very well. We loved the outdoor activities, hiking, cable cars, markets, towers and historic places (museums, tomb hills, cultural villages). Probably could have seen one or two less temples but did enjoy them all. Jeju Island was a highlight, particularly the volcanic summit hike and the diver women museum. Busan cultural villages were also highlights. Travel with Cathay Pacific was easy.

We enjoyed the schedule and guides. With the highlights being Ha Long Bay, Hoi An and Siem Reap.

Our 3 travel guides were amazing and looked out for us really well. The Great Wall, pandas and terracotta warriors were the highlights and all the rest were really good too. Accommodation was excellent. Thank you Trip-a-deal

The trekking company was first class from welcoming management, the excellent guides to the amazing porters. Everything was seamless and hassle free allowing us to focus on enjoying our hiking and the spectacular views and experiences it gave us. We were looked after at every mealtime and every tea break and had the best of accommodation on offer.

Very enjoyable, well managed by excellent leader Cesar. Highlights were the Northern Lights Accomodation good generally located centrally Meals provided good we quality

Everything about this trip was fantastic, the Jungle was great, the beach and the mountain. My only suggestion is that the food was nice just no variety, every meal that was provided was the same, sweet and sour fish, beef with ginger, and chicken and rice. Some more variety and more Malaysian food would be nice.

For the tour to Egypt it covered all the important sites. The experienced guide, Ali was very knowledgeable 7 helpful

Loved Angkor Wok and the guide who was attentive to our every need. The hospitality and insight into this beautiful country continued until the end of the trip when we were expected to fend for ourself for the last few days before departing to Australia.

We really enjoyed all of the places we visited in Japan, and the itinerary was very interesting. It was also good to have some free days to do our own thing. Kito our tour guide was really good and very entertaining and informative. Our bus driver was very friendly and professional with transporting our group.

I loved it all, although the hustle and bustle became a little overwhelming at times when trying to your bearings. The Japanese people are very polite and helpful. Fortunate to have travelled with a fantastic group. First time with Trip A Deal. Communication and assistance was excellent.

The Guide Vung was great. Good knowledge, patient, good English. Hotels were very good. Buses were very good. There is a lot of saddle time with some days getting very long on the bus. Some room for improvement, maybe an extra day, to reduce the daily time on the road.

I loved the Galapagos Islands the most because of the animals. Everything after that was a lovely bonus - so many highlights. Rainbow mountain, Iguazu falls

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days in Japan 😀 Our guide, Grace, was the perfect host. She thought of every detail such as checking if we had our passports, phones, charges etc and frequently asking if anyone needed the bathroom. Her commentary while travelling in the bus was very interesting and she was always ready to listen. Her professional attitude helped make our group become friends. Our driver was also excellent and we always felt safe. I loved the two hotels that had thermal spring baths … especially the one at Matsumoto. Nice balance of cities, nature and shrines. The optional tours were a good way to keep the trip affordable. Thank you Trip a Deal.

Our Guide, Jay, assistant and bus driver Nush and Dham were excellent, so friendly , welcoming and knowledgeable and really went out of their way to help us. The coach we travelled in very nice and clean, The places we visited and tourist sights were wonderful, my highlight the safari at Sigiaria. Accomadation also very comfortable. Epic hotel hotel had a few issues, a bit of work needs to done there. Overall it was an amazing holiday, other than a few storms, but also kind of made it.

Loved the tours and the optional ones which were offered Our guide - Grace Takata was the best She was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and rhe endless questions we asked

Pro: I loved the variety of places we visited. Con: Should list ALL the optional tours so they can be factored into budgets.

The itinerary was well thought out.

Borneo is an amazing destination and the Trip a Deal itinerary is really good value for money. Accommodation after Sandakan was outstanding. Loved the Borneo Natural Sukau Bilit Resort. The wildlife river cruises along the Kinabatangan River were great, lots of monkeys, birds and crocs - unfortunately the elephants were shy but still so much to see. Snorkeling on Manukan Island was also fantastic with an abundance of fish to see.

We had the best time. The tour guides were amazing! We loved Harry in Shanghai and Sabrina in Beijing, they were so full of knowledge, funny and easy going. We were recommended the trip and have recommended it to family who are looking to book soon. It was a great holiday

Very well organised tour of a difficult area to access on your own Hotels were better than expected and mostly 2 night stays which is a bonus Our tour guide Donny was exceptional- very thorough and went out of his way to assist everyone and ensure the trip was easy going and informative Great part of the world to visit if you’re keen on natural beauty and a laid back tourism destination

The itinerary covered all the places we had identified as "must see" in the two islands visited. We were lucky to have a group that got on very well together, were punctual and had no mobility problems which is always a concern with a group of 38 pax. Our tour leader, Kito, was truly excellent; his English was outstanding with no difficulty understanding him and his vocabulary was extraordinary, a great sense of humour too which he adapted to the group. Kito also organised two very good additional optional tours to the itinerary at reasonable cost. Our driver, Aizawa, was also excellent providing a very comfortable ride, smooth with no harsh braking or acceleration and always anticipating traffic ahead. He always acknowledged everyone when getting on and off the bus. We're sure you hear this all the time, and we were lucky with just the one change of flight in Taipei, but others on the tour had up to 3 stops en route. We know it adds to the cost but how much more does a direct flight cost? Perhaps it could be an option you offer.

Xian Warriors, Great Wall, Shanghai Bund and cruise and Acrobat show

Our trip to Vietnam was well organised and we felt well looked after from the moment we first contacted Tripadeal. Accommodation was great and tour guides made it a trip to remember with optional activities. We will definitely choose Tripadeal for another holiday. Only improvement would be to offer the same length "5 star" holiday with a longer stay in Hoi An and no stay in Pu Luong. Whilst the resort at Pu Luong was nice, the bus ride to get to/from took some time, but appreciate that this may have been a highlight for some.

We loved everything about our holiday . All of our guides were amazing and when I wasn’t well Lucky and Mickey stepped up and really helped us and that made it so much easier for us. We hope to return one day.

The food and scenery. Great wall was majestic even on a rainy day. Forbidden City was beautiful and a historical master piece. Our Shanghai tour guide "Joe" was friendly, funny and informative.

Excellet guide and driver. Very good hotels and included activities.

Our tour guide Brendan Miles, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, passionate, interesting and nothing was to much trouble. He has an unbelievable eye for finding animals/birds in nature and sharing everything with us. He seems to have a fantastic friendly relationship with other guides in the Orangutang sanctuary, boat drivers and staff at the eco lodge and Mari Mari village and everywhere we went. He shared his knowledge and stories with us and had our attention from the start and all through our tour. He suggested books for us to read as well as educating us on the Sandakan death march, (most of us bought the books) which are excellent. I think his attention to detail and interesting stories/history made us all bond and the group were all excellent. Some of the people in our group have been on other Trip a Deals and have all agreed this was the best yet. My husband myself and another friend are going on another Trip a Deal next year to Egypt, Turkey and Jordan and if we have a tour guide as interesting as Brendan we will have another fantastic time.

Well planned and all our guides were absolutely amazing nothing was any trouble for them.

Amazing holiday. Loved Sri Lanka, loved the Maldives. One of the best holidays we have done

Highlights Well organised Variety of activities Good accommodation Good guides Good transport Value for money Suggestions for improvements Extra day in Luang Prabang

We loved every moment. We were greeted by King who totally spoilt us all. We had an amazing group (something you cannot control). We would recommend the whole trip to anyone. The only slight negative would be in some places you only had an hour to explore. As I am coeliac and needed guides advice this usually took up 30-45 minutes to have something to eat as I couldn’t just grab something off the street vendors. Talking about being Coeliac King made me a little card with my disease explained which was a godsend throughout the whole trip. Lily was beautiful and KC also good. We were definitely spoilt with King though ! Thank you for an awesome experience and we will definitely be using TripADeal again. Looking at Canada Alaska for 2028.

My holiday was amazing! From the time I arrived in Vietnam until the time I left Cambodia the tour guides were there to greet and send off. The holiday far exceeded my expectations. I saw so much and enjoyed every moment. I am now looking at booking another holiday through Trip A Deal to China.

We had a wonderful time in Vietnam seeing many beautiful places, Dat our guide was amazing nothing was an issue & our group we travelled with where also amazing.

Yoyo was a great tour guide. She was very enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and informative. The hotels were quite good with nice breakfasts. The location of the last hotel was not suitable due to the bus not being able to park outside the hotel. This led to us all having to walk an excessive distance with our cases. This was made worse by heavy rain when we were leaving which would have left us and our luggage wet for the trip home had we not insisted that we would not walk in the rain. Fortunately taxis were arranged to get us to the bus. Hiroshima and the nearby island were very good, however the time at the museum was too short, especially given the large crowds. Otherwise, while some timings may have been tight, we realise this was necessary to fit so much in.

From researching to landing back in Sydney was a very pleasing experience. The Booking process and staff were excellent. I travelled as part of a group of 6 with my wife and 4 close friends, and I am sure we all agree this experience was outstanding. Our flights were as planned and hassle free. When we arrived in Sri Lanka, we were greeted by our Tour Guide Gamini Jayasuriya and instantly made a friend. Gamini and his team always gave their utmost care and attention to us and our fellow passengers. Gamini with his excellent knowledge of all things Sri Lankin, from its History to Diverse Religions, local information of where to eat and purchase our trinkets or supplies, to Botanical information, Native Wildlife and Sri Lankin traditions. He did this with extreme Pride of his beloved country, enthusiasm to enlighten us and looking after us to the ultimate level. We had a WhatsApp group to keep us informed and linked together with each other. Some itinerary changes were made to suit poor weather or local community traditions (full moon holiday) and these always benefitted our experience. BIG THANKS to Gamini. Our Coach Driver: Asoka was an absolute genius to maneuver our coach on some very unforgiving roads and some traffic conditions that we have never encountered before. He greeted us with a smile and a little flower every morning and left us at the end of the journey with a handshake and a hug. Our Bus Boy: Denth (although 22years of age) always greeted us with the biggest smile. I am sure he was enjoying his tasks of loading and unloading our luggage, helping us on and off the coach and giving us a spotless coach every time we got on. Our Trip was described as "Luxury Sri Lanka" and our coach and accommodation were definitely Luxurious. The different styles and type of Motels were varied and complimentary to their location. All the staff, amenities and meals were also of a very high standard. Our friendly, co-operative fellow passengers were all amazing people, who had their own stories to tell, and this made us all comfortable around each other so a big THANKS to you all and SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL in the future. All this has led us to having the most wonderful experience and itching to research, book and have more Trip a Deal Holidays.

The guides and drivers were great. Information was always easy to understand and follow.

We loved everything about our holiday. The accommodations were amazing, our guide and assistant were awesome. The experiences we had and the extra excursions were unforgettable. My family asked when we got home what my favorite part was and I couldn’t pick, so I just said everything.

First tour with TripaDeal, and it won’t be the last! Tour guide Hito was fantastic - fun, good humoured, knowledgeable and caring. Bus driver Aizawa san did a great job getting us around. Itinerary was interesting, showing us a great deal of Japan’s treasures.

I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in going to India. The tour itinerary and our knowledgeable and friendly guide, Anil, made navigating the chaos that is India a breeze. The days were packed with activities, making the most of our time and money.

The hotels were fabulous and the tour had some great highlights The guide - Gamini - was incredible and had great knowledge and was very organised and made sure it all ran incredibly smoothly Got to see a leopard in the wild!!

The group was wonderful to travel with and the guides were very knowledgeable. Nina and Ivy especially were very passionate about their jobs and excellent tour guides, keeping us informed and had a wonderful sense of humour The highlight of the trip would be the terracotta Warriors and the panda With a big I would recommend name tags for whole trip, it’s very hard to remember everyone’s names

After 40 years of travelling independently, this was our first guided tour, and a good introduction to Japan. We loved Kyoto, Hiroshima and exploring Tokyo. We would have liked more time in Kyoto and Osaka, fewer stops in Oita Prefecture, and greater use of the bullet train to reduce some of the longer bus journeys. Overall, it was a memorable trip, made even more enjoyable by our entertaining guide, Kito.

Great variety of activities and fabulous accommodation. Well paced holiday, particularly loved the Kandalama Hotel and the Tea Factory.

Great itinerary, pace was perfect got into accommodation in enough time to look around and shower etc. Local guides and porters were amazing, they took great care of our every need, couldn't thank them enough. Disappointed the hot springs were not an option, but had a lovely extra day at Pokhara.

The whole holiday was amazing. Haytham was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Would recommend this tour.

Our tour guides were amazing, the group size and people in it were awesome and we all got along so well, the weather was fantastic, the food was delicious and the sights were breathtaking! We loved our trip to Vietnam! We did all the optional extra activities, which made our trip busy and sometimes tiring but well worth the early morning alarms!

It was our first Trip A Deal experience. Honestly, we could not fault it. From our flight with Vietnam Airlines to transfers, hotels, and fabulous tour guides. All went so seamlessly and the guides went above and beyond. The Halong Bay boat was fabulous. Looking forward to our next Trip a Deal experience!

Our tour guide JoJo excelled and would rate her the best we have ever had over many years of travel/tours. The main tourist attractions were well worth seeing but JoJo’s real insights into Chinese life were priceless. Accomodation was of a high standard as was the overall organisation in China. Thank you also in order for our bus driver. Overall, an excellent tour.

Spend extra time at some excursions like the important ones. Had to rush through them eg Hiroshima Memorial and some of the villages.. Less time at Nara deer park . Tour advertised as 11 days but 3 were travelling days.

Our trip confirmed Borneo is one of the MUST visit countries in the World. We were lucky enough to see elephants, crocs, proboscus monkeys and orangutang in the wild as well as so many other species, along with controlled close encounters in sanctuaries. The itinerary was a perfect blend of activities and free time. What we didn't know or expect was the WW11 history of the Forced Marches. This was both fascinating and very emotional. Our guide Brendan was beyond amazing. His knowledge of wildlife, war history and passions for the environment and shared stories made so many of the experiences relevant. While some of the accommodation was not brilliant it was all very acceptable and finished with the best. I would definitely recommend a couple of extra days at the Shangri la - or more would have Benn better. Great tour - thanks Trip a Deal

Loved all your guides NINA, ROCKY and IVY. Loved their stories and experience and being able to make the most of our days. Loved all tours, especially Terracotta Warriors. Bullet train was great!! Loved the local lunches…..too much food. Improved by not so many hard sell tours eg silk factory, Chinese medicine, Jade factory etc etc. We did buy silk and Chinese medicine.

What I loved: Everything was so well organized from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole experience so smooth. Hotels were clean, comfortable and in great locations. Loved how we got a perfect mix of culture, food, and modern Korea.

Our driver and cook

Being our first time in Japan, this was a great taster as to what this country has to offer. It is hard to pin point a highlight as there was so many things to see and do. There is alot of travelling on the bus with your tour group. We had a fantastic tour guide that shared in depth history stories, helped us recite Japanese greetings and made jokes. Miyaki was a great host who kept us entertained. One thing to mention also, is there were a couple of us who left passports at our last known location, when contacted Miyaki went out of his way to ensure these were retrieved in quick succession. He gave great service and made himself available to us if we ever needed help! A quick tip for newbies to Japan, don't eat and drink while walking. Although it's not illegal, the locals don't do it. I witnessed a local stop, take out her food, take a bite, put it back in her backpack, then continued walking. I found this fascinating but loved the idea as the streets are very clean. No rodents, stray cats or dogs. I wished this was adopted in my home country!! During the trip there is a fair bit of touring in the bus however it was nice to get off your feet and to see abit of the countryside too. I was amazed by how many tunnels we drove through as the areas we travelled were full of beautiful mountains. Although it cannot be helped, when we arrived to Mt Fuji, it was covered by thick fog and wasn't able to see much at all however just being in the vicinity was amazing. Mid way through the tour I started getting confused as to where I was because the hotel stays were only 1 night and then bus ride to the next location. I would've liked to stay in Kyoto more then 1 night therefore would suggest passengers to lengthen their stay in Osaka and return to Kyoto once the tour has ended to explore more. All in all, we were satisfied with the tour overall and got a good idea of where we would stay when we return! If I could make a small suggestion - some ear pieces and mic for tour guide so everyone can hear the guide when walking as the streets aren't geared for big groups. Thanks Trip a deal for a fantastic tour!!

Well organised. Airport greeting smooth. First nights' accommodation was good, would have liked to spend more time there. Local farm lunch very nice, canoe and tractor ride probably nor necessary but good to support local people. Sigiriya hotel and stay great. Good accommodation and view. Enjoyed the elephant safari. Massage organised by guide was very worthwhile. Tea plantation enjoyable, would like a high tea. The elephant orphanage was also good. The tsunami museum on the last day was very moving and worthwhile. The river ride was not particularly enjoyable. Maybe more time in Negombo. Our transit motel was satisfactory, the food was very good.

A great trip for me and my two younger companions. TripaDeal were able to accommodate us so that we could be in adjoining rooms/apartments at every stage, which I really appreciated, and the guide and driver were terrific in accommodating any particular needs we had. Itinerary was excellent! First day out from Sandakan was extremely full and a bit daunting I admit, especially as we were all acclimatising to the humidity, but there was nothing in that first day I would have wanted to skip, and thereafter, the balance of activities, rest and travel was perfect. Loved the boat cruises! Thanks to all. Improvements - a pre-departure session (in the written material, perhaps) on the use of Malaysian toilets (eg Westerners, take your own toilet paper and learn how to dispose of it properly!) would have been really useful! I think our guide was too shy to go into it, or perhaps he just didnt realise what the differences were between Malaysian and Western approaches to toilets, especially for women.

This was the most amazing holiday that i think i have ever had. Each day we visited pinch me locations and were surrounded by history and amazing sights. Both our guides were amazing. At all times we all felt very safe in Egypt and Jordan - tourists need to go back to these areas. Accommodation was largely OK although food at the Sheraton Sharma was at times below par. Highlights of the tour included the balloon flight at Luxor, the visit to Abu Simbel, snorkelling at Sharm El Sheikh, Petra, and spending a night in the desert at Wadi Rum. The Helnan Dreamland was very comfortable and definitively a safe location but was not near any shops. The Nile cruise on the large boat was excellent and the food outstanding. More time needs to be spent in Jordan, it is an outstanding country and you really need more time in Petra and at Wadi Rum. The need for early morning starts needs to be spelt out in the itinerary. It also should state about the large amount of walking so that expectations are rea; i walked over 115km on the trip. I particularly felt the walk to the Treasury at Petra extremely taxing as it was over 2km downhill and i have a bad knee. I managed everything but would have taken the buggy down and back if i had known. The fights with Emirates were excellent. Cairo Air is also OK for internal flights. All buses were very comfortable. All in all this tour was filled with so many pinch me and bucket list moments.

loved the country, our travelling group and the tour guide Vaneet, our highlights were the Taj Mahal, visited sites and the food

Just completed Vietnam for 2 and highly recommend this for all ages. Started in Hanoi and moved on to Halong Bay which is out of this world and so much fun. Followed by Ninh Binh (photo included) finished our trip in Pu Luong Nature Reserve, incredible history of this country. Our Tour Guide Zoom was extraordinary and he made the trip 'perfect" and so did our bus driver as it is not easy getting around streets/roads of Vietnam.

Terrific planning by trip a deal. Excellent choice of venues and optional activities. Great guide ‘Zoom’ who was very knowledgeable and professional and thoroughly prepared. Fun group and brilliant food.

A wonderful relaxing stay, great food, drinks and excellent snorkeling. Room was comfortable. Staff were excellent. Flights there and back are a bit of a haul, and we didn't arrive til after midnight for the first night, so if we went again we'd do the 7 days, not just 5.

It was our 1st Trip A Deal trip and 1st time to Vietnam, it was an experience seeing a different part of the world. seeing the different food and ways of life was amazing, going to different cities was interesting. the big bridge was a fantastic place to visit, it was to have a group of people from all over Australia to meet.

Absolutely loved our Japan Discovery trip. Our guide Yumi was so attentive and funny. Loved all the spots we visited and how organised everything was.

This tour was exceptionally well organised and provided a great insight to wildlife in Borneo. The wildlife destinations were really an opportunity to get an insight into the incredible diversity of the animals and ecology of Boneo. The balance between visits to particular wildlife locations and free time was just right. especially for the age demographic of the participants on the tour which arranged between 50 and 85. The tour guide, Brendan was an outstanding person with his detailed knowledge of both flora and fauna of the region. In addition to this he had a very good understanding of the English language as it is used by Australians. Because of the isolation of some of the nature accommodation all meals were provided, which was greatly appreciated. Having the last three days of the tour staying at the Kota Kinabalu Hilton Hotel was an excellent venue to recover from the tour and prepare for your departure to Australia.

Great experience viewing wildlife and learning about Borneo as a country

It was so good that we did not have to think about anything. Everything was done for us.

Excellent value for money, it was nice to sit back while someone else worried about the schedule and the driving, also not having to queue for the entry tickets and hotel check-ins . The tour guides were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly

Great tour guide - Hung

Can highly recommend this trip The tour was fantastic., the destinations were magical.The guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to show us the local culture. The ease of booking etc was very easy. All information needed was given. Great value for money. Improvements I would suggest - accommodation should not be rated as 5* as our 5* is a lot different and people were expecting that, more information for optional tours and the airport transfer in Singapore and the accommodation.

What an excellent trip! The guide Roland was lovely, experienced and knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his job. The itinerary was as advertised. The accommodation was mixed, some a lot more basic than others but completely fine especially given the locations, and the cost of the trip. Some hotels were above and beyond expectations, so overall happy. I’m vegan and I was catered for at every location with a smile and without having to ask. Definitely recommend, with the slightest caveat that some of the jungle experiences are probably not for everyone as they are not 5 star, but absolutely awesome experiences overall.

Itinerary and accommodation met expectations. Guides and bus driver very competent ( Mr Ngoc and Mr Bing). Mountain scenery spectacular. Value for money.

We fell in love with Japan. The sites we visited were great and our tour guide Hiro was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend the tour to our friends and family.

The trip was amazing and we LOVED it. From the hustle and bustle of the streets in Hanoi to the amazing overnight cruise at Ha Long bay to the calming atmosphere of Pu Luong. If there was anything that we would change, it would be another day/night in Ninh Binh. Thank you so much for these amazing deals that you offer. I have been telling everyone to book a trip with TripaDeal.
