TripADeal Reviews

Our trip was exceptionally well organised from start to finish — the excursions, tour guides, accommodation, transport, and overall coordination were all excellent. We were fortunate to have four tour guides throughout the journey: Annie, Rocky, Seesee, and David. Each of them was absolutely lovely, informative, and highly knowledgeable about the places we visited. They always made everyone feel safe, looked after the group very well, and brought so much fun and positive energy to the experience. Special mention to Annie and Seesee for their amazing singing talents which made the trip even more memorable! China is an incredibly beautiful country. Every place we visited was unique and unforgettable. Thank you for such a wonderful and stress-free travel experience. Highly recommended! Good value for money!!

Great tour and guide Andre with driver Bob Japan is such a beautiful place and so are the people..

The second part of the tour was much nicer than the first part. I'm very glad that we did the tour from Sofia to Zagreb rather than from Zagreb to Sofia, as the places we visited and the accommodation got better as we went, not worse. Fotini as our guide & Robert as our driver both did a fantastic job and made the tour very enjoyable.

Lived all of it

We had a most amazing tour guide "Ben". He was very knowledgeable and speaks clear English. He found us a vegan restaurant in the hussy buzzy area of Asakusa markets in Tokyo. The tour bus driver was very patient and drove us around the country safely. A special thanks to the driver. We loved our trip. The hotels were very good and located in convenient places.

Our tour guide Star who was wonderful and could not do enough for us. Loved the tour but would have liked two days in certain places where we did not get enough time to explore. The hotels were all great. Our group of 22 people was perfect as we did not feel overcrowded on the bus. We all managed a window seat. Will definitely do more trip a deal holidays. Thank you.

Our two main guides ( mia and serena) where both exceptional the othes anna and summer where also grrat but as a groupp we were able to form a bond with mia and serena. I was presently suprised with the excellent accomodation considering the cost of the tour. Overall the proffesional attitude on the tour with the rigjt amount of frirndly banter will llead me to recomend this to others

We loved the location,food and the staff were amazing

the guide Dip the nepalese people the scenery the cleanliness of the country we felt very safe all of the time unique opportunities unexpected delights

Selected sightseeing were fantastic. Tour guides Rainbow, Jim at Beijing and KC and Tom were very helpful and knowledgeable looking after individually with their needs.

I loved it all but would have liked one more night in Jeju Island which would only extend the trip by one extra day. Do not take any nights away though. Our guide, Heni, was superb. She was knowledgeable, passionate about her country, very informative and just an absolutely delightful person. She was very helpful and very well organised. Our hotels were really good. Not a bad one amongst them. Well done. Maybe name badges for the first couple of days would be a good idea. Our driver, Mr Shin (spelling ??) was very good. A really safe and competent driver

Well organized trip. Ivy (Shanghai) and Nina (Beijing) were wonderful guides the best!! Both very helpful and full of knowledge

My highlights was the Great Wall and the terracotta warriors

2026 We have had an awesome trip on the “Best of Japan” package with our guide Edna who was fantastic and we can highly recommend. She ensured we saw the best of everything possible, gave excellent recommendations for food and restaurants and things to do in our free time. She was very knowledgeable and made each day interesting and enjoyable. She took great care of us whatever with whatever we needed and was always helpful, positive and approachable. All our accommodation was excellent and comfortable while being close to all the attractions.This is our first TripaDeal and we look forward to our next adventure with them.

The Great Wall of China Nice and friendly tour guides The bullet train Shanghai night lights

Me and my husband loved everything, enjoyed all the different places, excellent itineraries, well planned and changed my overall experience/ expectations of China. And special mention to our tour guides Tracy in Beijing, she works so hard to keep the group well informed, very friendly and excellent English, we had Maria in Xi’an, very nice young lady and tried her very best , we had Jojo in Shanghai, speaks excellent English, very friendly, very helpful in everything. I can say Jojo and Tracy are our best tour guides of all the travels we’ve been around. Thank you very much to TripADeal.

Food, facilities, clarity of program.

The holiday was fantastic. It exceeded my expectations. The guides were organised, friendly and knowledgeable. The service everywhere was amazing, from restaurants to hotels to the coach drivers. Really can't rate this highly enough.

Hoi an was the very lay back city and nice and quite. A extra day would be good

We had the best time, it was great that all the people on our tour were Australians so not only was the tour awesome we also made new friends.. and the tour guides were fabulous they were very knowledgeable and helpful, our first guide King was so much fun and helpful it was a shame we couldn’t have had him the whole tour, but the others were really good as well.

We loved our Borneo experience in May '26. We were very lucky to see the beautiful Borneo elephants, crocodiles, proboscis monkeys, orang-utans, hornbills and countless other native fauna and flora. Our tour guide Che Che was absolutely the best... going above and beyond to make our holiday so memorable. The people of Borneo are so friendly and we felt safe everywhere we went. We experienced confronting moments especially in Sandakan but also joyful moments , snorkelling, swimming, photographing all the wonderful sights and generally meeting really lovely fellow travellers. TAD enthusiasts!!! We loved every minute and highly recommend this trip.

Another superb TripaDeal experience! From the moment we left until we arrived back home everything was tremendous! Our guide for the tour, Ngoc, is easily one of TripsDeals finest assets! An outstanding fellow and consummate guide. Ngoc was the key to making the trip a truly memorable experience. His knowledge and wisdom shone through and his translation skills were unbeatable. The scenery in the north of Vietnam beggars belief! Having traveled extensively during my career I have seen some extraordinary landscapes and sights but nothing even close to the areas around Ha Giang, Dong Van and Cao Bang. Breathtaking doesn’t even com close to adequately describing it. The whole area is an absolute ’must do’ when one visits Vietnam. I have another TripaDeal adventure to Malaysia in September and have zero doubt it’s going to be another amazing trip!

Everything was well organized, we had a terrific Tour Director, Danielle. Accommodation was excellent, bus driver was excellent and the cruise was fantastic.

The guides were knowledgeable and ensured everyone knew what was happening during their time with us. Chris in Beijing was fabulous, ensuring we were aware of the history of all the sites we visited.

Loved the accomodation and flexibility of activities. We had a good mix of travellers in our group which made it fun. I liked the opportunity to do additional activities that weren’t on our agenda

Loved the Rocky’s The bus tour and stops Catherine was an excellent guide I also loved Ketchikan in Alaska

Enjoyed everything

We loved the visits to wildlife sanctuaries, the river cruises, our guide Roger, our bus driver Eppy, and learning more about the war history.

We loved every place we.visited . Carole our guide , keith the bus driver ,every phone call to trip a dead were professional, taken with care . We would definitely book again

Our coach guide Laura was fantastic. She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and looked after us so well. It was a seamless journey and we would recommend it.

We had a great time on our tour in Vietnam. Sights and experiences were amazing. Our guide Tam was terrific, very informative, helpful and friendly.

Southern Japan Discovery - highly recommended. This was our first visit to Japan and it was a wonderful experience. We were really well looked after by our guide, Dragon, and our driver, Abe-San. Dragon was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we all had the best experience possible. We took the opportunity to do all available optional activities and this added depth to our experiences. Abe-San was an excellent driver and luggage wrangler and we always felt safe in his care.

Overall, very good. Quite hard physically for older people but positively challenging. Guide Wheny very good.

Ha Long Bay was magical, spending an overnight on the boat & the little trips to the bay for a dip in the warm water, magical! Hoi An, Danang was also adventurous and beautiful. The ride through the Mekong river, the old town, ride up in the cable car to Ba Na hills was amazing. Cambodia was interesting the the people were lovely. A clean city and less traffic hazzles. Angkor Wat was a highlight especially the sunrise over the old ruins. Absolutely enjoyed our holiday, even though it was hot and sticky. The people in Vietnam and Cambodia were very hospitable and our accommodations were of high standards and clean. Our tour guides Son, Annie, Betty, Huan and Bora were excellent. They went the extra mile to assist us with questions we had and also assisted us at the ATM and money exchange. We would have been lost without them.

Organized all the time great work with our tour guide and captain

The holiday package was well balanced and made the best of the time we had to explore Sri Lanka and The Maldives. Our guide in Sri Lanka was excellent, and helped us to understand the country, its people , some of its customs, and its history. The route through Sri Lanka gave us a good snapshot of some of the geographic wonders the country has to offer. The time we spent in The Maldives was an excellent way to relax, swim, snorkel (we don't dive) and socialise with the small group we were travelling with. All of our accommodation was top class and the provided meals were excellent. This trip compared very favourably with previous TripaDeal small group holidays we have undertaken. We haven't any recommendations for improvement.

We loved the trip. The tour guide Carole n driver Keith were fantastic. Made it very memorable. Highly recommended.

All flights on time the whole way. Excellent tour guides throughout. All accommodation was very good. Tour guide in Kruger, Bea, had exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm. Tour guide, Symphie, in Cape Town was also knowledgeable, very informative, personable, patient and flexible due to weather conditions

Highlights - History of the Sandakan Death March and the visitation to the camp sites and memorial gardens were very moving. The visit to the cultural village and learning about the indigenous way of life and culture. Seeing the wild life in their natural environment. Lowlights - Other than the Hilton stay which was excellent, the remaining hotel accommodation was very basic. However, the staff at all hotels were very friendly, kind and accommodating. Suggestions for improvement - allow options to upgrade to better rooms in the hotels. I would have been happy to pay a bit more to have that alternative. I would like to make special mention of our tour guide Roger and the driver Eppie. They were absolutely brilliant!

The group I travelled with were accomodating, interested and were engaged travellers which makes a trip so much more enjoyable. The guide Garv, was knowledgeable, was proud of his Country and supported the different tour members needs going over and above what would be required. In sone respects he made the tour.

I really enjoyed the coumerant fishing . Fish markets , the dinner with the maiko a highlight . The boat rides were a nice change from the hustle & bustle of the cities . Hirohito J was a very professional & informative tour guide . We were very impressed with his ability & enthusiasm. A bonus for your company. The bus drivers were very friendly & safe drivers . Overall the itinerary covered all the important sites of Japan even the short trip on the bullet train .

Kruger National Park was a once in a lifetime expierience, the accomodation at Mulawa while simple in its setup was great, staff 10/10, food 10/10, overall great! Conversion rates AUD to the SA Rand meant prices were so good, took a pile of cash with us and couldnt spend it! There were no negatives but be warned there is a lot of travel time involved and like Australian winter, warm days cold nights, couple of frosty trips back to the resort after day trips in our open top vehicle but overall probably one of the best trips we have ever been on!

We had an amazing holiday to Canada and Alaska. The Canada Tour was well paced with a good mix of sightseeing, travel and free time. Laura is an amazing guide. Her local know and service are incredible. The cruise with Holland America was also great. We were a little worried about the accommodation going into this but ended up loving our windowed stateroom. Thank you TripADeal for making this possible.

TripAdeal Tanzania & Zanzibar May 2026 We had 4 people on our trip and 4 of us were friends now we have a new bestie as we all got along so well. The bucket list trip to see the animals in the Serengeti National Park was achieved in abundance. The trip was well organised from the first night when we were picked up from the airport Kilamajaro. The driver/guide was a very competent driver, the jeep was comfortable and could handle any bump in the road. We felt safe at all times. The accommodation was fantastic we hardly touched our luggage. We stayed close to nature most nights and heard animals in the forest. The food was excellent and we had plenty with a picnic box for lunch on safari trips. Early starts and good night's sleep everywhere. The trip was absolutely awesome.

Our guide Mam was fantastic. She was full of knowledge and helped everybody out if they didn’t know what was going on. She showed us so many wonderful places and where to eat and I would do another guy tall with her any day she was fantastic. Highly recommend her.

Terracotta warriors The Great Wall

The guides were excellent.

I loved the culture and people of Borneo. The oranatangs and other monkeys like the proboscis monkey's 🐒 were great. A highlight was the cultural day at Mari Mari Cultural village. Very informative and a bit of fun along the way. Our tour leader Roger was a highlight. Very knowledgeable and a friendly approachable person. Can't thank him enough. Our bus driver Eppy was also brilliant and apart from his excellent driving he also kept us hydrated with water regularly. Both Roger and Eppy are quality people and an asset to your company. The food was great and there was plenty to eat. You were never hungry. Thanks for the great trip TripADeal Regards Shane & Alice

We loved all of it, our guides were great and funny. Faye is amazing and so knowledgeable. I have recommended this trip to friends and will be going back again. It was such a differant place tuen i imagined and wuld love to have spent more time at the highlights rather then shopping. In all thanks for a great trip and will be booking again soon. Thanks so much.

Fantastic itinerary, we loved every part of the holiday. Accommodation was very good at both the Muluwa Lodge and The Hyde in Cape Town

I loved the bus tour of Calgary Lake Louise and Banff. Beautiful scenery lots of snow on mountains

My first trip with Trip a Deal and could not be happier. Wonderful value for money with so much packed into the 17 days also allowing free time to explore at leisure. Will certainly be booking with Trip a deal again

This was amazing! Saw the big 5 and the great migration!the people were so humble and friendly! Our tour guide joseph went above and beyond making it such a memorable and smooth experience. I hope that you could include a tour of a local school and maybe let future travellers know that school equipment is a wonderful resource that the children need . We are so privileged here and any small pen paper is so valuable to them

The destinations in the tour were on my wish list and the tour guides were knowledgeable and throughout the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone wishing to see these highlights of China and encourage anyone to take up the optional activities as they add to the overall experience.

The tour was go go go from the moment we landed. Excellent content of tours and guides with a fabulous group on the bus.

Absolutely loved our trip to Japan from pick up at the airport to drop off at the airport. Everything went wonderfully smooth thanks to Bob our driver and the wonderful Andre our guide. He made sure that we saw everything we could as well as the offered extras that were available to do and well worth it. Would have loved an extra day in Beppu, instead of just the one night. A lot to see and explore there. The cleanliness everywhere we went, the accommodation, the food and the amazing history of this beautiful country is fabulous. I would certainly recommend this trip to anybody thinking of going to Japan.

Good weather and a great guide. Ibis hotel not as good as the others.

The trip was excellent value allowing us to see the amazing sights in a compact and well organised way. Accommodation was good and coaches were modern and comfortable. Guides were great. Patient and helpful .

Good tours of the places of interest en-route. Lunch restaurants (at own cost) tended to have the same fixed menu, were overpriced, some added extra costs onto quoted price & none would accept card payments. Quite limited or no commentary when passing points of interest - eg: A Kings Palace.

Alaskan cruise

Every spot was a WOW moment. I loved the fact we didn't have to take our bags on our train journeys. Well organised and Paul was great looking after us all. Most importantly the trains were fantastic. Loved it all.

Very happy with our trip to Alaska The booking experience with trip a deal was very good, had to issues. Great value for money

Can't speak highly enough of the Tour Guides and Drivers during the tours for the three regions visited. Accommodation was better than expected but some could have been closer to the city centers, the Great Wall and Warriors were spectacular. Couldn't believe the infrastructure both existing and in progress and surprised at the greenery (especially the Roses for kilometers dividing the traffic directions and lanes) Highly recommend this tour.

Our very first Trip a Deal holiday and we loved it! Our guide Chi-Chi was amazing, as was our driver Mamat. So many memorable moments, but the highlight had to be sighting the pygmy/Borneo elephants on the forth, and final, of our river cruises. Food was plentiful and delicious, especially the fruit! (Remember, you don't HAVE to eat the rice provided at most meals!!) Accommodation improved as the tour progressed, but all hotels were clean and provided everything that was needed.

‘Best of Borneo’, I’d do it again tomorrow. I went for the wildlife and it was amazing. There are only two places in the world where you can see Orangutans in the wild and Borneo is one of them. The other amazing animal endemic to Borneo is the Proboscis Monkey. I could observe them for hours. A well rounded tour. Our guide Roland gave us a great insight into the country. The most moving experience was learning about the Sandakan Death March. Many meals were included on this tour, accomodation went from good to excellent and there was a lot to see and do. For me definitely a five star holiday.

It was a very well organised itinerary, everything ran smoothly & efficiently. Our guide Andre was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble & our driver Bob was a star. Accommodation was great, no complaints from me! The optional activities were great too

Accomodation was amazing and the entire experience was fantastic, Highly recommended

The Great Wall, The warriors, loved the Gardens, the Night Cruise, travelling on high speed train, the shows in the different districts. The Acrobatic especially. Food was plentiful, and inexpensive. We had Great Guides, that looked after us well, and had great knowledge of the History. Hotels were of high quality.

The trip was the right amount of activity and free time. The additional activities arranged by the tour leader were excellent and much appreciated. The hotels were lovely, some quaint. Switzerland is very expensive for food, even tap water on the table in a restaurant comes with a charge.

The guides were so professional and tried to give us the best experience we possibly could have . they picked the perfect time of day to see the places of interest so that we were not standing in long ques and the visibility was maximised due to weather.the whole itinerary was amazing

Very action packed. Great tour guides. Very interesting.

Trains of Switzerland was a most fabulous trip. The sights were exquisite. A most recommended trip for all. Very well organised, all trains booked in a carriage of our own in many instances. Accommodation 4/5 star. Our guide Paul was very organised and everything ran very smoothly and had us on time, every time. There is a little bit of walking from the train station to beautiful accommodation occasionally. But a walk after a train ride was welcome. It was one of the best trips I have experienced. Thank you Trip A Deal.

We absolutely LOVED our Sri Lanka and Maldives holiday. The bus was new, our Sri Lankan tour guide, Harsha was phenomenal, and went over and above constantly. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient, fun and had a great sense of humour. The sights and experiences exceeded our expectations, and Harsha accommodated extra activity requests! The elephant safari was absolutely fantastic, and the Sigiriya Rock climb was amazing. The Maldives were beautiful and a much welcomed time of relaxation, snorkelling, swimming, eating and drinking of cocktails! We definitely recommend this trip as a wonderful experience and holiday! 🤩

We were very pleased with our tour over all. The land portion was highlighted by excellent contributions from our Guide Corey and driver Pat.

The number one highlight was to land the wonderful tour guide Jo Jo. She was amazing with her knowledge, skill and care. I can't fault anything really about the tour, the organisation of the tour was on par everyday and we had a wonderful time. China was an absolute wonderful destination, we loved it.

China is an under appreciated destination with its natural beauty and welcoming attitude to visitors. We have used Trip a Deal twice for travel to China as well as other trips and we are in the throws of planning our next holiday to the Silk Road.

Highlight of my trip was the Great Wall of China, the terracotta warriors & the the food in Suzhou & Hangzhou.

The trip was well organised with knowledgeable guides, we were kept well informed about daily activities and what we were to see.

Travel Guide KC and Jason did an excellent service for us.

We loved our holiday. Japan is a wonderful place to visit. Beautiful people, scenery and much history. We tried food that we haven't had before and enjoyed the whole experience.

Both guides Jessica and John were excellent. Trip covered key highlights well.

Every thing was great 👍 Lee was fantastic 👏 I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Will definitely 💯 use you again, and tell my friends about your great service. We are not home yet Da Nang is great, and thank you for planning our trip home to Perth..Lois Hester.

We really had a great time. All tour guides, Bruce, D bounce and Kelvin were so good, efficient and helpful. We were able to visit all the historical places and had a great advantures. Our group were great and made this trip even better. We suggest to put two days for shoppings.

I loved the content of the tour. I like to immerse myself in the culture and everyday life of a country. We were so well looked after by all the guides who were knowledgeable and ever so efficient. Special mention to Leo in Beijing and Billy from Suzhou all the way to Shanghai. You may not realise what treasures you have in them but they made travelling so easy and they had a great sense of humour. I just don’t know how they do it! The bus drivers were very skilful and they had very long days - just brilliant. Thank you to you all.

I was very happy how organised all our tour guides was. Always on time, always very helpful and they would do anything to help you. Very happy with the whole tour. Loved every thing about it. It was a very good experience, I will recommend TripAdeal to my family and friends.

I loved how organised it was. The guides were most excellent. Totttaly enjoyed my first Tour experience.

Our guide was cultured, humorous and delightful Driver was safe and flexible re stopping and parking generous size bus Size of our group was 15 - perfect number Hotels were varied and interesting

We loved it all except I feel we went to too many Cultural Villages as they are pretty much all the same. We loved visiting the DMZ & the national park in Sokcho were our highlights. As there may be a need to fill in a day maybe more free time would be welcomed. Our tour guide Jun was outstanding he was informative & helped everyone in any way needed. He was very considerate & caring.

China is an amazing country to visit, clean, friendly and safe. The modern seamlessly blends with ancient wonders. The gardens are glorious, with tree lined walking paths through flower meadows and along the numerous waterways. China is also a shopper’s paradise. The tour was well organised and our tour guides; Nina, Jack and Jessie went over and above to care for us and ensure we had a wonderful experience. The Warriors of China tour gave us a taste of China. We are already planning our next visit, either the Heart of China or Treasures of China’s Silk Road.

The trip was fantastic. Very well organised snd we saw many interesting sites and features. The food, the country and the people were great.

Holiday was great. Well organised Fantastic guides. Nina, Jessie and Jack. The optional tours were great I thoroughly enjoyed the food And plenty of food at breakfast Hotels are working hard to cater for westerners.

Great holiday we saw so much in our 20 days, great tour guides very informative & we learnt so much about the history, culture & way of life in Vietnam. We had so many great experiences & memories, trip a deal was great, hotels were nice, & clean the guides gave us recommendations where to eat & things to do in our spare time. A beautiful country & people will definitely return.

Flo, the tour guide was fantastic, ample food and good accommodation. The activities were well planned and safe! Great trip, highly recommended.

The tour was well organised, the guides were good and knowledgeable, the hotels were good. All in all, a great trip!

Loved everything Great tour leaders and we were really were looked after Great tour group so many memories and laughs

not much room for improvement as our tour guide explained so much to us we felt that we were emersed into the whole experience

Our holiday was perfect Well planned and tour guides were outstanding so knowledgable friendly which made our experience so memorable Our tour guide was Lori Holland America zaandam. Was great aswell

We loved all full itinerary including all the optional tours Zhangiajie & Guilin experience was very good.

With the price of the trip we were a bit skeptical but was absolutely amazed how well organised and the amount of activities it included. The Great Wall was incredible and the forbidden city was eye opening. A huge thanks to our tour guides Summer and Vicky who did a fabulous job. I have highly recommended this trip to friends and family who will be coming next year!
