TripADeal Reviews

I LOVED Sebatana Private Reserve as a WHOLE! From the moment the mini bus drove up to the tall impressive front gate that rotated around a large column, then drove through to the reserve where impalas, giraffes, zebras and sable antelopes abounded, to the next large gate to the Lodges area, I was in awe! Next the Lodge buildings started to appear, first Rhino Lodge, then The Curio Shop, The Spa & Gym, next came the accommodation Chalets with African thatched rooves. Just how I imagined! There were Nyala antelope grazing near the Chalets, Vervet monkeys in the trees. I walked through the welcome arch into Lion Lodge past a lounge area downstairs to an outside unlit log fire near the inviting blue pool. A tinkling creek ran behind the Lodge with Impala grazing and baboons cavorting! Wow! Everyone was given a welcome drink and sat around the log fire to be greeted by the Manager. I was on Cloud 9! Every day that followed more than fulfilled my dreams. Exciting Safaris looking for The Big 5, of which I saw 4 (more than once) - elephant, rhino, lioness and Cape buffalo - even though no leopard sighting, I saw a CHEETAH! Countless zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, warthogs and a few hippos! The food was delicious, the Lodge staff friendly and professional, the Guides’ knowledge, passion and skills were phenomenal! I had the BEST African holiday I could have hoped for! Thank you Trip-a-Deal!! 🙏🏻

Highlights were the accomodation (especially in Whistler) and the excellent tour guide Kirk & driver Warren. They both really made it an excellent tour. For us personally, we would prefer 2 nights in each town but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Flight times & connections were ok. Cruise (our first ever) was better than we could have imagined. Would (and already have) recommend to others

This was our first group travel experience and were fortunate to be travelling with a group of like minded travellers who between the nine of us the group have visted almost 150 countries. As for suggestions: 1. The visit to Anuradhapura was probaby somewhat rushed to fully appreciate the full extent of the area. 2. Jaffna. We understand why the government wishes to open up this area for tourism. However, a three night stopover could possibly be cut to two nights unless somewhing worthwhile was added to fill in the time spent there. A possible soption could be to include a day tour to Delft island which has some interesting features. 3. The visit to Kandy was far to short and is best summarised as "now you see it and now you don't". A positive element was the Hotel Suisse whichis far more appealing than the likes of the Hilton & Sheraton style hotels which are somewhat sterile and pretty similar to what is offer anywhere else in the world. Our group wanted to experience more of the local culture/customs. 4. The Blackpool hotel at Nuwara Eliya was an absolute waste of time and could quite easily be excised from the program and the time reallocated to the likes of Anurhapura and/or Kandy 5. The Pinnacle at Ella was rated as one of the better options by our group. 6. Time allocated to visiting Galle which has a great deal to offer was far too short. 7. The optional cooking class at Sonja's restaurant was well received by those who attended. However, the necessity to travel over an hour in each direction to the venue was a waste of time. 8. EKHO Surf provided an opportunity to have a rest prior to leaving for the return trip. We made our own arrangements to visit the Lunuganga Estate but most of the group where looking for "Something to do". 8. Hilton Hotel provided a safe environment but as mentioned earlier did not provide accommodation which reflects the local culture. A possible option would be the likes of the Galle Face where we stayed for a few extra days after the tour had finished. 9. Your tour pricing structure needs to be more flexible accommodate people. not living in the main departure points [Melbourne, Sydney, etc]. In our case living in Canberra is was far more cost effective to excise the airfare component of the tour package and make our own arrangements.

The schedule was great, two nights at most places. Sights and highlights of mountains, villages and working people was great. Halong bay was superb and really delivered. Visit and boat ride at The waterfall and views from the temple were unreal. Meo Vac was terribly disappointing. Lili chai Village was non eventful so disappointing also. Just a walk down a street with no one in it isn’t worth the stop.

We loved touring Galipoli and the sights of Istanbul. We would have loved an extra day to seeing more of Istanbul and a day of rest in the middle of the trip with optional activities. We found we were on the bus for extra long periods. We were disappointed that we were unable to do a balloon flight. We were told at the start of the trip that we had 2 days allocated for the optional balloon flight. It wasn’t until midday the day before the flight for the first day was cancelled and were told that the 2nd day hadn’t been booked and we weren’t able to privately book. We were extremely disappointed that this wasn’t conveyed to us at the start. The second day had flights go up and it was fully booked out. Our host also didn’t help me join the what’s app group as our eSIM phone no was different to our Australian number. He told me that he didn’t have a solution so we received no communication for the trip. I don’t know why he couldn’t email the information to us. We also felt the group (38) was too many for the group.

Visits to National Parks to see various wildlife. Too many nights in Jaffna, not enough in Kandy. Remove one night from Jaffna and add to Kandy. No nights required in Bentota, remove and add time to Colombo.

The Rocky Mountaineer was amazing and worth every cent to go Gold Class. Staff Service, food, comfy seat and view were all spectacular. The local Guide from Calgary to the Train had excellent local knowledge which I appreciated. However she did not take feedback well. The 2 nights we had in Canmore were at a nice Hotel which was situated on the train line. People from our bus that were placed in rooms on that side had no sleep for 2 nights. This was mentioned to the Guide who flicked us off and said 'Oh I got used to that'. There were plenty of Motels further away from the line that I'm sure would be better options. The Cruise was also an amazing experience. It was well organised with cruising and shore excursions nicely spaced. Plenty of food options all of which again, were amazing. Staff on board were always polite, professional and helpful. My cabin with a window was very roomy and there was always a view. Plenty to do on the ship which was well kept. Guest Services were helpful and we were informed of processes in a timely manner.

A wonderful holiday. A great group, excellent guides and a fabulous trip. Well organised and not too rushed with 2-3 night stays. Excellent optional tours and experiences. Great food.

An amazing itinerary that was jam packed with memorable experiences. Highlight was how much could fit into the trip as well as the Galápagos extension. Improvements would be less early morning flights, a better hotel in Rio as it was a bit under par compared to the others used on the trip. Although its location was great. The sugarloaf mountain tour in Rion should also be reviewed as it states it includes a city tour but only visits the cathedral. Suggest to either replace with just sugarloaf tour or include one that covers more of the city.

The sites we visited were great. Sightseeing on the way to and from these sites was excellent too. Vietnam is a beautiful place and the people were courteous and helpful. The first leading guide was very good too. He called himself Bobby 1. It took him a little while to adjust to the older folk and he did great job describing places along the way and at the destination too. The Ha Long boat trip was memorable in a good way. Sapa was cool and nice too and Nam the guide too took to us and we took to him. Finally Saigon, excellent and most enjoyable. Hang, the guide was extraordinary. She planned every detail and laid it out for us to follow as we pleased. Wonderful guides all three.

The trip was excellent and very well organised - even the weather!!! Dat Nguyen was our tour guide and he was excellent. We took the upgraded accommodation option and that was so well worth it - not only was the accommodation excellent - so was the food - in particular the Pan Pacific Hanoi. My only suggestion to improve the tour from our point of view is - maybe have only 2 nights at Pu Luong instead of 3 as we feel that the sights we saw could have been condensed easily and maybe the 3rd night could be spent at a different location between there and Hanoi. We do feel that Trip a Deal could have booked direct flights to and from Hanoi (instead of stops at Ho Chi Minh) as this made very long trips to and from Vietnam - Day 1 we did not arrive at our hotel until 10:30pm which was 1:30am (Aust time) Overall - a fantastic trip and not too rushed - time to relax and enjoy the local culture. Excellent value for money.

The trip was very well organised with a great amount of tours and free time to explore on your own. The tour leader was great with knowledge about Italy and always willing to help with suggestions. The bus was well maintained and comfortable. The accommodation could be closer to town and most would be 2/3 star at best. Photos attached of the bathroom at one of the accommodation and the standard that is unexpectable. Val was a great tour leader fun, and very helpful to all.

We were happy with most things but thought we could have more ‘shopping’ time at the local markets. Too many temples and mosques. We had some long days and didn’t get to some towns until late. Highlight was the Taj Mahal. And we did that early in the morning which was a good idea. Guides were good. Maldives with the over water bungalow was a great way to finish holiday.

Our guide and bus driver were excellent, making our tour enjoyable through seamless execution and a great knowledge of the Balkans. We were however, extremely disappointed in the first optional excursion in Budva Montenegro. The bot was dangerously overloaded and cut short because the boat couldn't access certain parts of the river that were described as the highlight of the trip. The only other feedback I can offer is addressing the lack of basic infection control measures such as asking infected people to wear a mask and use hand sanitizer.

The Beijing part of the holiday was awful. Our guide, Vanessa, seemed totally focused on what deals she could make on the side, changing the schedule around to fit. For example, most of us chose to do the option on the first day of seeing the Pandas and the Summer Palace. Vanessa deferred the Palace to another day so we could get back to the motel for massages she had organised. Vanessa tried pressuring me, for three days in a row, into doing one of the options that I wasn't interested in. Her badgering me made me angry and upset. Honestly, I wanted to come home. I was very disappointed that the most important part of the whole trip for me,, seeing The Great Wall, and we were only there for one hour. The Shanghai part of the trip was great. Our guide, Ivy, was so good, She constantly went out of her way to keep us informed about what we were seeing, making the holiday much more interesting for us all. Ivy kept us entertained and amused through the longer drives. Ivy is the reason I will continue to talk about my holiday and recommend it to family and friends. I thought the China Discovery Tour was great, a nice way to learn about this country and value for money. However, Vanessa needs to change her attitude and priorities, and put the person who has paid for the holiday ahead of her profiteering.

The experience was made more memorable because of our tour guide, Miguel, who was not only professional, knowledgeable and had a very chill or relaxed demeanour but mainly his very high EQ. He looked after everyone (young and old) like a mother hen. And because of that, the tension of moving from one spot to another - always hurrying to ensure we do not miss the ferry ride, for example became less apparent and more enjoyable for us to take in the views, the experience and meet new friends along the way. for improvements...... one minor detail could be regarding food, or at least, give us a heads up (in the itinerary) that if the location of the next destination is isolated, let us know, give us alternatives (along with possible costs) way in advance. Again, very minor improvements. fortunately, we have a very good tour guide who resolved the issue. for the free days or free time - perhaps suggest areas to visit (and rank them in priority). Local tour guides are a wealth of knowledge but if you can't hear them because there's 39 people crowding him/her, then some would switch off. Compare that to those with a mic or those who are in other tours with an earphone. I'm not saying that we should wear earpieces and the guide use a headset with a mic but maybe find a compromise. Overall, we highly recommend this tour and tripAdeal!!! We are already in the process of organising our next tour with said agency. Thank you once again.

A beautifully organised Vietnam adventure What a fun, beautiful adventure. From start to finish this trip was so well organised. The transfer with the Singapore add-on was really appreciated, the hotels were comfortable and good quality, and all the flights, transport and activities ran smoothly. A special mention goes to the transfer driver in Singapore, who went above and beyond. I left my phone in his car when he dropped me at the airport, and he came back and searched the airport until he found me running around in a panic. I was so grateful and relieved. When there was some confusion over my first add-on night in Ho Chi Minh City, the hotel staff and the person on the Trip A Deal emergency WhatsApp line were calm and caring, and they quickly helped sort out the misunderstanding. It was reassuring to know that help was there when I needed it. The itinerary was a lovely way to explore the country, with a great balance of down time, optional activities and suggested activities. The suggestions took the stress out of working out what to do on arrival in each new town. In Hoi An, the suggested activity of two meals and a lantern boat ride was a real highlight and one of my favourite memories of the trip. The theme park in Hoi An wasn't really for me. The bridge and garden were beautiful, but I didn't need to spend that much time there. Luckily there was a beer festival on, so I still found something to enjoy. I loved the cooking class. The two chef teachers were hospitable and friendly, and they taught us so much. What made the trip extra special was the tour guides. Tom in Hoi An was especially amazing. He was funny, incredibly thoughtful and caring, and he always seemed to know what his tour family wanted and needed. He went above and beyond for all of us and it was very much appreciated. Another highlight was the boat trip on Ha Long Bay. The staff showed wonderful hospitality, the food was amazing, the facilities were comfortable and everyone was so friendly. They made an already stunning place even more special. Vietnam is a beautiful country with loving, friendly, generous people, great food and breathtaking landscapes. I'd highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking about it.

Great hotels throughout. Clean and tidy rooms and keys available on arrival. No forms to fill in. Coach was always very clean. Water freely available. Guide was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Excellent itinerary. Guide was very knowledgeable on all places we visited. Improvements could include free time at a beach for swimming. Jeu Jeu island diving women was not very good. The show was not interesting. Too many steps to the beach and the show was women in wet suits paddling out and diving underwater for less than 20 seconds. No seafood caught. Just waving and a bit of singing. A non event ! Vietnam airline was poor. All 4 flights were delayed up to 3 hours. Food was ok but no snacks between meals on any flights. Wouldn’t fly with them again. Overall very good trip which was made very enjoyable by the guide the other people and the good land transfers and coach.

Mostly the organisation was good, we had a few negative issues that could be improved to enhance the overall experience. On the positive side the timing of the trip was excellent and to plan. On the negative side we were in Istanbul at 5:30 am on the first day, very tired and grubby from or flights, then confronted with a wait until 2pm for entry to our room (this was a waste of a day for us and not a good start). We had a similar experience at the end of our trip with a flight booked for 1:40 am, we tried to make the most of this time however the remote location of the hotel and the traveling time variation from the city to the hotel or airport reduced the options available for this time resulting a long time waiting to get to the airport. The sites we visited where great, the guid had great knowledge keep the group on time and informed. The time on the yacht was a highlight, we enjoyed this part of the trip with little pressure and lots to see and do. The day driving to Cappadocia was too big, but it was understood that we had to achieve our time in Cappadocia. This phase of the trip was also great, with the accommodation and day trip all good. It was noted that the cost of the extra options for jeep rides and balloon rides were very inflated from prices if booked privately, it is understood that they is time and other people in organising these events but the difference could not be justified. The group of people we had on the trip turned out to be great everyone was considerate and had similar interests. This added to the success of the trip.

There were 6 of us in our group we felt the hotels were awful except one the reed in Vietnam was lovely . 4 of us at one stage we’re going to stay elsewhere in Hanoi the hotel we could have gone to was at a much higher level of comfort and was only 100.00 per night so we wonder how you cost this when ours was less than $50 for two people Our guide was useless in Vietnam he fell asleep all the time we had to wake him up to ask questions he didn’t volunteer information he’s clearly over it none of us tipped him . He and his driver constantly put us at risk driving on back roads to save the toll we found out from another group who had not traveled some route as us to the same end point and got there faster . India the hotels are not anywhere close to a place where a female can feel safe to go out your captive in the hotel . Come on trip a deal you can do better

What an amazing experience! 🌏❤️ This was the perfect way to travel, especially for our first overseas trip. Everything was so well organised and arranged perfectly to accommodate us throughout the journey. Our tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, with clear communication throughout the whole trip. Some of our personal highlights were Ba Na Hills, the overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay, shopping and exploring the local markets, and of course the incredible Angkor Wat. 🇻🇳🇰🇭 We were also really impressed with the hotels and their locations. Our tour leader always made sure the group stopped at clean restaurants and bathrooms along the way, which was greatly appreciated. The air-conditioned buses were definitely a favourite, especially with how hot it was! 🥵😂 Cold bottled water was also always provided by the guides, which was such a thoughtful touch. The only thing I would recommend to TripADeal is choosing hotels that are a little closer to the city centre, especially in Hanoi, as this would make exploring the city more convenient. Other than that, everything was fantastic! We had an amazing time, enjoyed incredible food, met wonderful people, shared plenty of laughs and created memories that we’ll treasure for years to come. A huge thank you to TripADeal and all the guides and staff for making our first overseas adventure such a smooth, fun and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Quality of accommodation was excellent. Our guide, Adham was very knowledgeable and personable, nothing was a problem for him. Transport was comfortable and reliable. Time at each place of interest was suitable - and flexible to accommodate the tour group.

Overall the trip was very good. although India was very noisy and dirty, it was better than we thought. Sri Lanka was much better and we enjoyed both. The people of both countries were very friendly and helpful. The tour leaders we in general happy to help and were very accommodating. nicely finished with the Maldives. nice small group who blended very well. This is our 2nd tripadeal and we are considering our next destination at the moment. Already have recommended you guys to others. well done. Cheers Wayne

Provided a good overview of South Korea.

I loved the tour very much. The accommodation in Souel and all the places we stayed were perfect. An extra day in Souel would have been better as there was so much to see and do. I thought the tour was one of the best. The guide Jen was fantastic. Helpful. Kind. Always there the check everything was ok. Always on time and our tour all thought the same snout him. 10 out of 10.

Firstly, our tour guide Mimi Lee was fabulous. Knowledgable, patient, friendly, approachable and very passionate about show casing Korea. Highlights for us: The central location of the IBIS hotel. It was great that it was walking distance to alot of places within Seoul. Loved staying there. Really enjoyed our visit to Jeonju. Our trip to Busan was also a highlight. The cable car ride across Songda River was fabulous. We really enjoyed everything about Busan. The length of time of the tour was enough for us...perfect introduction to Korea....allowing us to now branch out to explore it again for ourselves. The tour bus driver we should also mention... we felt very safe with Mr Hong behind the wheel. The bus was always stocked with water and very clean. Extremely happy with the tour and its cost and where we taken. You can't please everyone, but I felt this tour did its utmost best to be a real crowd pleaser.

I arrived in Lima before the rest of the group. I expected to receive transport and other information on joining the group at the Lima Airport hotel. However, I got no support whatsoever from the Lima contact. I got no communication from them about my trip. I had to walk around the hotel asking people if they were on the tour, literally, to find out anything about what was organised. No message was left for me at the hotel. Talk about feeling neglected! I rang their 24/7 contact number, they did not answer the phone. I found someone at breakfast the next day who told me the transfer was leaving in 10 minutes, luckily I had already packed! On my approaching return to Lima I contacted them again as I had no communication from them re transport. I was told that I was not 'on their list'. They apparently googled the hotel and told me 'apparently the hotel has a shuttle bus, here's the hotel phone number if you have a problem'. They hadn't even contacted the hotel! I hope they weren't paid for this 'support' as it was non existent ! The Peru guide Ruben was hopeless, he spent so much time talking at Pisac we only had 10 minutes to look at the site. He even started talking about the causes of WWII, I kid you not! He spoke for over 25 minutes at Otallyumbo until I challenged him to explain the site so I could go and look at it. He replied that he couldn't talk to us in the van, which was rubbish! On the other hand Frankie, the guide in Quito was outstanding, the whole group was impressed! Organised, background information delivered in the van, allowing more time to explore the site, polite, nothing too much trouble....excellent! I would suggest staying longer at Galápagos Islands as cost of entry $US200 deserved more time there.

The whole trip was great. We really enjoyed Ninh Binh & Ha Long Bay. The food was incredibly good throughout the trip. Our guides were excellent - particularly the guide for Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh (Ha Nam). The itinerary was really good - a range of things to see, visit and experience.

Our guide, Mostafa, in Egypt was excellent. He genuinely cared for everyone and looked after the elderly. I feel that the optional Abu Simbel part of the trip could be made part of it so that you could fly in and out of there to save a very long uncomfortable day for everyone. I wasn't as happy with Jordan. Our guide, Daniel, made a couple of the younger women very uncomfortable with personal questions and giving one of them a gift. He didn't look after the elderly and at one time some of them got lost because he took off and we were flat out keeping up with him. He was also very arrogant and ordered us around like school kids. When we arrived at Wadi Rum where we were told we would have 5 star accommodation, we walked into a room with heat blaring back at us and the stench of sewerage. The air con had not been turned on. When we went on the Jeep tour two of the women were nearly thrown out the back when our young driver planted his foot. There was no guard rail on the end of the seat to stop them from sliding. At the Dead Sea the water has dropped significantly and the beach is very dangerous to get down to. Add the mud and rocks and it was very uncomfortable. Overall it was a memorable trip and I will be recommending it to other people.

An Excellent China Experience with TripADeal Our group of 12 friends and family recently travelled to China with TripADeal on their 10-day package, visiting Beijing for four days and Shanghai for five days. We had an absolutely wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed every day of our trip. The package included international airfare, hotel accommodation and transportation within China. Considering the very reasonable price of the package, the quality of the accommodation, transportation and overall facilities was, in our experience, comparable to a much more expensive holiday. It was excellent value for money. Our Beijing Tour Guide – King I would especially like to acknowledge our Beijing tour guide, Mr. King. I have travelled to many countries around the world, often without a tour guide. However, China was our first visit, and the language barrier made having an experienced local guide particularly valuable. King was exceptional. He looked after every detail of our tour with great care. At the beginning of every bus journey, he would carefully count all 12 members of our group to make sure everyone was present. If someone was running late, he would patiently wait rather than leaving anyone behind. He explained each attraction clearly, organised our visits efficiently and made sure we arrived at every destination on time and returned safely. As we are a group of Muslim travellers, finding suitable halal food could have been challenging. King went above and beyond to organise appropriate meals for us. He even arranged excellent Mongolian food that was halal, fresh and absolutely delicious. We were genuinely impressed by the quality and variety of the food he organised. I would happily give five-star feedback to King. In my opinion, he is a tremendous asset to TripADeal. I would also like to thank his co-guide, Orange, who was wonderful throughout the trip. She helped take our photographs and videos and constantly kept an eye on the group, making sure everyone was accounted for before the bus departed. Her care and attention were greatly appreciated. Our Shanghai Tour Guide – Sunny In Shanghai, we were fortunate to have Sunny as our tour guide. Sunny was kind, patient, organised and extremely dedicated. She explained every place we visited in great detail and made sure the itinerary ran smoothly. Her patience, professionalism and devotion to looking after our group made our Shanghai experience even more enjoyable. I sincerely appreciate the effort and time Sunny gave us during our stay. She is also a wonderful asset to TripADeal, and I wish her every success in the future. Thank You, TripADeal! Overall, this was an enjoyable, memorable and wonderful China experience for all 12 of us. A special thank you to TripADeal for organising such a comprehensive package at such an affordable price, and especially to King, Orange and Sunny for their outstanding care and professionalism. We would strongly recommend TripADeal’s China package to Australians who are considering visiting China. For our group, it was an unforgettable journey, and we are very grateful for the wonderful memories we brought home with. Thank you Dr Sufian Habib Melbourne Australia

The people we traveled with; the country we traveled in and the tour guides we had.

We enjoyed everything. The guides were all excellent, everything went to schedule. The buses for our transport were clean and had great drivers. Accommodation was exceptional everywhere we stayed. The only suggestion we would have is to do some spot checks of service and maintenance at Ebino Eco Resort at Pu Luong. It was a lovely place to stay, however some of the tour group experienced maintenance issues in their rooms. We had a malfunctioning air conditioner which was replaced with a new one on our third day. Overall it was a wonderful holiday and we are already looking at what our next tripadeal tour might be.

Loved every minute of it and wouldn’t change a thing! We were taken to all the amazing sights and our tour leader Laura had so much knowledge about all of our travels. Hotels were amazing and in fantastic locations.

We had a fabulous guide and driver. The group was not too large and everywhere we were taken was amazing. We do suggest that hotels are closer to the towns to allow dinner options rather than having to find transport and somewhere to eat. Our guide did give us ideas but at the end of a long day many of us opted to either skip dinner or use the hotel restaurant (often expensive). We were unable to do a pre-paid 4wD safari however our guide was able to get us a balloon flight that was amazing. We will seek a refund for the prepaid tour though.,

Amazing staff. Brilliant excursions. Fantastic tour guide. Could not have chosen better. Exceptional value for money. Thoroughly recommend the whole experience.

Great tour guide, plenty of time built into each day to enjoy different stops, excellent accommodation, plenty to see and do.

We went to some fantastic destinations within in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, but unfortunately the hotels were too far out from the City centres to allow us to fully appreciate or experience these wonderful destinations fully. Our Guide in Spain and portugal, Rosa Militano was excellent,she was so knowledgeable and helpful, she went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a positive experience. There was too muchtime spent on the Coach, some times unnecessarily. My recommendation would be to travel between Barcelona and Madrid via fast rail instead of over six hours on a coach. The first "Bus" that collected us from Tangier was not fit for purpose, not enough seats for the 38 of us and it couldn't fit our luggage in without is being stacked in the aisl etc. To tripadeals credit, once made aware of the issue they resolved the issue overnight and had a Coach waiting for us the next morning. The advertised Moroccan restaurant dinners (2) were extremely dissapointing, definately not a tradional Moroccn dinner from a roof top retauarnt, there was only a view of what could only be described as "no view" and the meals were no more than a pub meal, the comments from the group was that of " perhaps these are relatives of the Moroccan Tour guide" The size of the group was too large (38) and the age group too wide. The tour is definatly not for children, we all tried to include the 14 year old on our tour but if was obvious he was not enjoying the tour. I understand it s difficult for Tripadeal to put limitations on age, fitness level etc but it really is something that needs to be monitored more closely. The flights also ned to be booked in a more practical manner, allowing only 1 hour between connecting flights at Dubai Airport was never going to work................our flight with Emirates was delayed by just over an hour so therefore we hade to spend over 8 hours witing for a connecting flight home. A minimum of 3 hours between connecting flights shold be considered. In all, we had a good trip but that was due to our Guide, Rosa and the people we connected with on the tour.

Our Pinnacle Africa guide Richard was outstanding, he was very organised and was very determined for us to see all of the animals on our bucket list. The food and accommodations were of very high quality and all of the staff were amazing. We loved Uganda and will recommend it to anyone interested in going to Africa. Most of the experiences exceeded our expectations. Our chimpanzee trekking we found a group of 30 chimpanzees within 40 minutes, they were very vocal and active, coming close enough to touch (not that we did). The trackers found a family of gorillas with some babies and of course the silverback and some adult females, about 14 all together. in Rushaga sector of Bwindi within an hour of our trek. We observed them for an hour, eating and playing close enough we could have touched them. Our stay at the Buffalo Safari lodge was unbelievable, we saw a hippo, elephants and water bucks walk through the resort! Our guide, Richard found the ever elusive leopard in Queen Elizabeth National Park along with lions and many other animals and birds. There were a couple of visits we did which we were uninterested in such as the salt mines in Katwe, it was very dirty and the smell was horrible, was sulphuric. Also a visit to the Kasoga community. Kasoga community itinerary noted we would witness traditional canoe making demonstrations and see the crafts being made, we saw neither. We thought it was cute that the local children seemed fascinated by us and wanted to hold our hands but at the end, the community guide was not happy with our tip stating there were at least 20 children with us and the tip was not enough to buy them all ice creams. We found the tour very boring and the guide and children's expectations further soured the visit. Overall though we loved the tour, the country, the people, animals, it was an amazing experience!

All of our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and were very accommodating, especially Tien in the north. I loved everything we did. Each part was interesting and fun. We were fortunate enough to have a fabulous tour group and experienced wonderful times with them all.

Tour group Leader Sithu was awesome, very clear in his speaking, communications and informative etc, bus driver and assistant were excellent too. Accomodation really great and a surprise how spacious, clean the rooms were. Sightseeing was great, liked the hike up the big hill in Sigirya and the Elephant orphanage. Last 2 days by the pool at the Pullman really sealed the awesome trip. My second trip a deal trip and will be booking another.

We recently returned from an incredible trip to Africa, a destination that had been a lifelong dream of mine. Experiencing the rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and remarkable wildlife exceeded every expectation. The entire journey was filled with unforgettable "wow" moments, and every day brought a new sense of wonder through spectacular scenery, exciting adventures, and amazing wildlife encounters. Some highlights of our experience included: •A very well-planned and organised itinerary. •The accommodation selections were comfortable and well located.. •Smooth and efficient transfers and tour arrangements throughout the trip. •Safari experiences and activities that exceeded our expectations and created lifelong memories. •An excellent guide and driver who enhanced our overall experience. •Outstanding value for money. The only suggestion for improvement would be to have air conditioning in the vehicle, which would have made the journey perfect. Martinette Miral

Loved the tour! Excellent trip around the highlights of the country! The only thing I would suggest is hotels closer to spots we can walk to and explore independently in the evenings and early mornings.

We had mixed feelings about our trip. Sri Lanka was amazing and we saw lots of spectacular places. Our tour seemed quite unorganised in some parts, and our guide was not a particularly good communicator which did become frustrating. The driver and his assistant were both outstanding, and definitely worth their weight in gold. Accommodation was mixed, but all in all great value for money.

The trip overall was well organised as far as sightseeing went and the hotel accommodation was reasonable generally. Only three issues being the guide in Vietnam could hardly speak English and simply wasn't interested in making any effort, the Howard Plaza The Fern Agra was poor accommodation, and lastly and most importantly your instructions on visa and meeting locations for Vietnam are totally out of date. i.e. you are not allowed to meet at pillar 10 and havent been able to do so for around 2 years according to the airports guards who told me off.

We loved that we got to see so many parts of Europe as it was our first time. Our guise Phillpe was wonderful. I found the hotels on this trip much better quality than previous Tripadeals. Unfortunately it was out first cruise and we found the ship overwhelming with so many people.

Fantastic holiday. Great guides and choice of activities and venues. Possibly could be suggestions for free time activities. There could be a fitness rating on some of the activities.

Loved the mountains, waterfalls and the villages we walked through. We were lucky with the weather too, not much rain. The accomodation was great . The tour guide Hung was good and his local knowledge was invaluable . No suggestions for improvements , the tour went very well for me .

This was an amazing trip so many highlights, historic sites hidden gems and magical scenery. I really enjoyed the balance of planned activities and leisure time.. The tour guide Nicola was absolutely incredible. He went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after and comfortable. My feedback would be to perhaps better research and communicate places where there may be limited availability for those with dietary restrictions. It would also be useful to have a coach that had Wi-Fi available

The trip was very good but too much time travelling by bus we did all up 3 full days on a bus my suggestion would be to travel overnight sleep on the bus then you can have the full day to sightsee and if you want to sleep then you have that option when you get to the hotel the tour guides were excellent especially hung and som the hotels were very good and the breakfast was great

We LOVED Turkiye! Our guide Oscar guide was an excellent human being. His extensive knowledge and deep understanding of the world’s cultures, religions, history, and geography made our journey through Turkiye truly meaningful. We are still in awe of his extensive vocabulary and his endless patience. The tour was very comprehensive and we were grateful to see so much of the country, even though some days were very long. The bus was comfortable. The hotels were beautiful. It would have been more convenient to be in the centre of Istanbul. 36 people was a lot to coordinate but Oscar kept everyone on track.

Tours off cruise were great Loved the Rocky Mountaineer Gold line experience

The animals were amazing. Safari Guide was great Very knowledgeable. Loved Victoria Falls but not enough time there. TripADeal communication prior to, and during the trip was poor. When we arrived in Johannesburg there was no one there to pick us up. No communication what time we would be picked up from our hotel the following day. Throughout the trip the times and agenda for the day very unclear. Our driver in Victoria Falls had not been informed of meal inclusions etc. There was a BBQ in the itinerary for one day but no one had any knowledge of it or whether a meal was actually included as per the original itinerary. Overall the communication was extremely poor. It was impossible to get information about an optional helicopter ride prior to the trip and was unable to book this prior. Information re visas required and cash requirement for trip not provided or unclear. Overall I enjoyed the trip but would have been better prepared if I had all the necessary information provided The optional cruise at the safari was a waste of money. The cruise in Victoria falls was excellent

Loved the holiday! Slovenia was amazing and my favourite destination in Croatia was Dubrovnik. Maybe an improvement would be to streamline the checking procedure at every hotel. In general the accommodation options were good and mostly central. Accommodation in Sarajevo and Dubrovnik were excellent. Tour guide was very kind and went out of his way to look after everyone

Overall, we loved holiday! We loved Ha Long Bay cruise and activities. We loved Hoi An. Our tour guides were all very helpful, knowledgable and amazing. The members in our tour group were all lovely. The accommodation at Hanoi (The Chalcedony) was not to the standard that we were sold (definitely not 4 star) and not near as good as all the other accommodations. It was not nice and disappointing considering we had to spend several nights there. The staff service was less than impressive, and the room was average (small, water pressure issues, toilet blockages). I think the only positive from this accommodation was the breakfast buffet. The second time that we stayed there, there was no window to the outdoors, however, the window that we did have was to the hallway which is not ideal or private! The toilet had blockage issues on numerous occasions (which we informed reception about) however, we ended up having to unblock it ourselves. The blockage issue was also a problem for other members in our tour group. Our thoughts regarding this accommodation were shared by several members in our tour group. I would suggest that alternative accommodation be used in the future. The accommodation at HCMC was very nice, however, it would have been better if it was closer to the city/markets etc. The junk boat accommodation was nice and the staff were so lovely! However, we were given 2 single beds in our room. As husband and wife, we would have liked to have had a double bed. The accommodation in Ninh Binh (The Reed) was exceptional. Our flight was from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur with a 2 hour stop over. Due to the flight from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur (KL) taking longer than expected (beyond our control), we missed our connecting flight to Hoi Chi Min City (HCMC) along with 5 other Trip A Deal (TAD) members. We were all forced to stay 1 night in KL with only the clothes we were wearing and the carry on bag that we had with us. The stress of this situation at KL including having to rush to complete a visa to stay in KL was not what we wanted to start our holiday with. The airline paid and arranged for our accommodation in KL and transfers, meals etc, however, because of the delay, we missed 1 night in HVMC and our tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels and free time in HCMC. We were able to book another tour with TAD, however, we had to pay $40 each. I do believe that this was unreasonable given that we have no control over the flight booking or the stop over duration. I would suggest that the stop over time in KL be increased to avoid this issue. Malaysia Airlines was very good, the service was great, the meals on board were good and the seating was comfortable. We would fly with them again.

Well managed and an interesting itinerary. The variety was good for a relatively short duration trip. Very well looked after by our tour guide.

Fabulous holiday, everyting worked together seamlessly and the tour guides were fabulous - friendly and knowledgeable. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to eliminate one of the two long bus days - Saigon-Phnom Penh and Phnom Penh-Siem Reap (acknowledging that the first has an optional flight). It would have worked better with a flight Saigon-Siem Reap and them bus back to Phnom Penh.

We enjoyed seeing the sights, the colour, friendly people, a terrific group of fellow travellers. We were not impressed with some of our guides, Chandra who was with us in the Golden Triangle was good and Sibil at the end of the tour was good. The guide at Varanasi was ordinary, the itinerary says we would visit temples, we got a glimpse of the tops of them over a brick wall. The itinerary says we wouid visit a tea plantation and a vegetable farm in Thekaddy, we got to walk briefly in a tea crop and no mention of the vegetable farm until I asked Sibil about it. He then explained the farmers and the tea plantations are not accepting visitors because of the weather events. If that is the case then it should not be on the itinerary and an alternative should be organised. We rely on value for money and expect to receive what the itinerary says and quite often we don’t get that value. In addition the Optional tours are overpriced and are often disappointing. We did the additional Safari in Ranthambone for $80 per person and had a dreadful driver and guide who said nothing to us as they sped around the nominated route. It took 1.5 hours to actually get there. We saw a few deers and peacocks and we appreciate seeing wildlife is the luck of the draw. Because they were so bad we did not go on the Safari the next morning and missed out on seeing a Tiger. Group members said that drive was excellent with great guides. Our choice not to go so we missed out but the poor service was a factor. We were lucky enough see the Pilgrims walking to visit Ganesha’s Temple, and to witness the generosity of the people in supplying rest stops, food and drink to the Pilgrims. We felt grateful and humbled to witness the kindness and generosity. The Alepeppy Boat experience was wonderful and two nights would have made it just perfect. We visited Greenpark Spices in Thekkady an interesting experience with lots of information. However the promised drink of Cocoa with spices did not eventuate (disappointing). We were not given an itemised invoice for our purchases and some items were not labeled correctly and we were lucky to get them through customs. One lady who landed in Melbourne had hers confiscated. It would be beneficial for TAD to mention that on the itinerary. The bus we travelled in was noisy with a constant loud squeaking which drove us mad and was not conducive to a relaxing experience. Please ensure the transport is acceptable. We paid for Premium accomodation which we felt was not up to par quite often, the Fern Eco hotels were below par, old and seedy, how hard is it to be given a bath mat and hand towels. Service in the Restaurants in all Hotels was slow and frustrating, if one ordered an entree it arrived with the main course and was then wasted. Asking to sign the bill to be billed to the room was at least a frustrating half hour wait. Staff training is essential to be able to settle accounts promptly and accurately. The Non Premium group were given superior board to us at Alepeppy, that’s not fair and right as we paid the Premium. We did enjoy our journey and are glad we went. We did Ultimate South America and Galapagos with TAD in June and had the most wonderful holiday. India left a little to be desired as mentioned. We are doing The Best of Japan late this month so we hope that is an amazing experience. Then Patagonia and Antartica in Feb. pS best visits The Taj Mahal and Mysore Palace

All the added daily side tours were excellent and tour guides were extremely helpful and informative.

Loved all the cities we went to very different each one. Tour guides were so organised and informative very passionate about their country. People were lovely Hotels were central and very comfortable. Booked all the additional activities which were varied and great.

From start to finish the whole vacation and experience was excellent. Communication and information before the vacation was excellent. The guides, the accommodation, the transport to and from the airports and hotels was first class. Hotels were super. Breakfasts fit for a king (and Queen) Lunches on the tours were delicious. The guides were so good arranging every small detail and supporting us 24hours a day. We will recommend the company at every opportunity.

We recently returned from our five-star Vietnam trip with the Cambodia extension and had an absolutely fantastic time. The accommodation throughout was excellent — beautiful, spacious rooms in very centrally located hotels, making it easy to explore during our free time. The itinerary offered a wonderful mix of culture, history, scenery, food and local experiences. All of our guides were fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A special mention must go to Tam, our wonderful guide in Central Vietnam and Hoi An. She was warm, knowledgeable and great fun, and really made this part of the trip extra special. We were also incredibly lucky with our fellow travellers. Everyone was lovely, and by the end of the trip our group really felt like one big extended family, with lots of laughs and wonderful memories shared along the way. One of our absolute highlights was a motorbike food tour we organised ourselves in Saigon. Riding on the back of motorbikes through the city and eating at local food spots was such a fun and authentic experience — definitely unforgettable! The Cambodia extension was a great addition and a wonderful way to finish the trip. Overall, a fabulous, well-organised holiday with excellent accommodation, wonderful guides, great company and so many memorable experiences. We would definitely recommend it!

Amazing scenery and informative tour guide. Accommodation was great. Nothing was too much trouble for the tour guide and the bus driver was amazing. Extra tours were great value. The tour guide was passionate about his country and texted all members of the group to make sure we were home safely. Plenty of sight seeing but not overly exhausting

This was a great trip. A real look at Sri Lanka. We had a great tour guide in Thila who was very knowledgeable about all aspects of his country from the history to the flora and fauna. The accommodation was excellent as was the bus and driver. It was relaxing in so far as the accommodation was mostly outside of the towns so we were limited to eating hotel food at a higher price and in places no where to go on your own to explore but always beautiful swimming pools to while away the time.

All fantastic!

Warriors of China Trip. Spending more time at the attractions with more personal free exploring and less at the warehouse factory visits. No free time at the Terracotta Army, which was billed as the main event of this trip was very rushed and was particuly disapointing not being able to wonder and read the history at our own pace.

The trip was very good value. The tour guide and driver were very professional. The local guides were informative. The bus was modern and very comfortable. The locations visited in Bosnia Slovenia and Croatia were beautiful.. The restaurants in those countries were very good value for money. The hotels varied between three and four stars were clean and of a standard that you would expect of hotels of that rating..

The trip was wonderful from start to finish. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country. Our guide Suneth was excellent. His knowledge was excellent. The hotels were magnificent. Food was excellent. Right mix of tours and rest time. We had a great group of people which made it even more fun. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to visit Sri Lanka.

We absolutely loved our holiday in Nepal. The beautiful landscapes, wildlife and people were incredible, and it was such an eye-opening experience. One of the biggest highlights was our guide, sushil and our drivers. They went above and beyond for us, explaining so much about Nepal and showing us things that weren’t even part of the tour. We also felt very lucky to have them looking after us, especially with the flooding and road damage during our trip. The wildlife safari was another amazing highlight, along with getting to experience the culture and see so many different parts of Nepal. There honestly isn’t much we would change. We had an amazing experience and would 100% return to Nepal one day

Michael our guide was excellent. The Nile river cruise on the smaller boat was very worthwhile particularly when we could tailor our visits to suit the team’s needs and the hot weather for shore visits.

The Luxury Sri Lanka trip was great and we would highly recommend it. We stayed at 5 Star hotels everywhere we went. The breakfast at all hotels was great with amazing choices of both Sri Lankan and Western food. Additionally, all the daily activities were well chosen and interesting. Most importantly, the trip was not to hectic.

Optional Safari tour. Kaudulla Excellent driver throughout Sallat Beautiful hotels. Good food

We loved the longer time allowed between changing flights this time as we were able to find our way around without any stress. Last time (to China) we almost missed our connecting flight due to running from one flight to another - very stressful! This trip to Japan was so well planned and organised beginning with the flights, arrival to our guide waiting for us, bus trips, accommodation, sights seen, information given and a fantastic guide and bus driver. Ben and Mr Shige were just the best! Ben gave us great information about every tour he took us on and Mr Shige ensured we got to places safely and on time. Both were so caring, inclusive and looked out for our group at all times - we couldn’t speak more highly of them both. Japan was such a beautiful country and the people so respectful. I would highly recommend this trip to those thinking of going to Japan as we saw so much in our 14 days of travel.

I love the itinerary in puro. The tour guide is responsible and knowledgeable.

Our Alaska and Canada holiday was exceptionally well organised from start to finish. The communication throughout the booking process and during the trip was excellent, ensuring we were always well informed and prepared. A special mention goes to our tour guide, Cheryl, who made the coach portion of the journey both enjoyable and memorable. Her knowledge of the destinations, local history, and culture was outstanding, and she shared information in a fun, engaging, and entertaining way. Her enthusiasm and friendly personality added so much to the overall experience. We would also like to commend our coach driver, who demonstrated remarkable skill and professionalism throughout the tour. Navigating and parking the coach in some very challenging and precarious locations was no easy task, yet it was handled with confidence and expertise, making us feel safe and comfortable at all times. The Holland America cruise through the Inside Passage was absolutely amazing and a true highlight of the trip. The breathtaking scenery, wonderful onboard experience, excellent service, and opportunities to witness the beauty of Alaska made it an unforgettable part of our holiday. Overall, this was a fantastic trip that exceeded our expectations. We would happily recommend TripADeal to family and friends and look forward to travelling with them again in the future.

Everything was good - maybe too full for me but not for the rest of the people

Our tour guide Silvia, and a great group of fellow travellers made this a trip of a lifetime! Silvia genuinely cared about everyone.

Everything was well organized, with the best guides

This trip taught me a lot about Vietnam’s history, thank to the incredible tour guides: Hang, Tu and Steve—their knowledge was extensive and gave a considered approach to time when considering the movement from one location to another. I didn’t feel lectured, laughed at the dad jokes (I thought mine were bad!) and appreciated the guidance, punctuality and amazing friendliness and flexible approach.

Everything was so organised. Everything went smooth. Our tour leader Thanasis was the best man we could have.

The whole experience was amazing. The value for money was incredible. Valencia Travel in Peru gave exceptional service, and I particularly wish to complement their tour guide, Rene Aragon, who went over and above to deliver an efficient and enjoyable experience. I would give him an 11/10 for his efforts and personality. Unfortunately, h had to leave us mid-way through the Peru section due a death in his family, which was sad for all the tour group, as we loved his approach. All the other tour guides were very good and provided great support. We enjoyed all the sights and experiences and felt these could not have been improved on. The quality of the hotels was excellent throughout Peru. I particularly enjoyed the town of Cuzco, the Amazon tour and Iguazu Falls. The Savoy Hotel in Buenos Aires was adequate, but the rooms were tired and needed upgrading. The Windsor Plaza in Rio was in a great location, but again the standard was not as good as the Peru accommodation. It's worth mentioning that most of the hotels and showers over a bath, rather than a walk-in shower, which poses some degree of risk of access for the more elderly with mobility issues. Latam airlines were also exceptionally good throughout and could not be faulted. The only minor issue was with the Argentinian airline, who limited our baggage allowance to 15kg, which restricted us for the rest of the trip. The additional tours offered were all of high quality and good value, and we utilised a few of these. This is our second Tripa Deal experience, and we have loved every one, so much so, that we have recommended that friends consider booking with your company. We hope to undertake more Tripa Deal tours in the future.

Great value comprehensive bus tour of Japan. Japanese national Silvia (English speaking) and her skilled and careful driver were amazing. Many ticks on my bucket list. Only improvement suggestion would be to have an introduction party on the first night to get to know other guests. Thanx to Silvia.

The planned land itinerary covered stunning areas of natural beauty, giving a wonderful overall "feel" of the vastness of the Rockies and National Parks. Our tour guide Lori and coach driver David were great. Although a lot of kms were covered, the tour never felt rushed and plenty of comfort stops were included. The HAL Cruise was excellent, great ship, staff and ports of call with tours all went extremely well and offered value for money. Direct flights with Air Canada from Brisbane made for seamless travel.

This trip far exceeded my expectations! We saw and did so much, and our guide Dom was exceptional (knowledgeable and absolutely hilarious). Highlights for me were being able to see the great work being done in animal sanctuaries (sun bears, orangutan and proboscis monkeys), the Kinabatangan River cruises to spot birds and wildlife, a very posh stay at the Hilton in Kota Kinabalu and, despite the heart breaking deforestation for palm oil plantations, seeing some really beautiful jungle.

Loved our first trip to India. The trip was well organized with amazing hotels, comfortable coaches and an excellent tour guide who was able to cater to individual needs. The highlight for me was the Taj Mahal- surreal!

My highlights are The Great Pyramid, the history of the Egypt in general, the Nile cruise, the desert safari and the Red Sea reefs. Also museums and temples. All are amazing! All meals are delicious!! Our tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly! Thank you Excellent hotels and resorts were bit away from the city centre, which was not convenient for people who don’t use Uber.

Holiday was great. Guides were terrific. Liked the variety of activities and pace.

Azerbaijan, is a modern city with great food. Georgia, The Caucasus Mountains were absolutely breathtaking , and has a very in depth history. Armenia , the people are super friendly lots to see a pretty country. A little bit more free time. We paid by a deposit and paid the rest 3 months before departure great for not paying all up front.

We enjoyed the entire holiday. We had a different highlight each day and glad we did the optional extra tours. In particular the Maiko Dinner was a fantastic experience. The incredible landscape was beautiful and Hiroshama Peace Memorial Park was very moving. The food amazing. Accommodation very comfortable. And of cause we would not have enjoyed it so much without having Ben as our fun, informative, nothing was any trouble tour guide accompanied by Mr Shige driving us safely around Japan.

Too many highlights to mention, a couple of days were tiring due to the distances travelled. A good group of people and the guide Ben was excellent and his colleague who drove was excellent. Overall 7.5/8

Trek in Nepal, the amazing local guides, so much experience and knowledge. Also love the value for money from TAD. Everyday was interesting and an adventure, all planned to perfection. Truely a awesome experience.

Tour Guide in Egypt was 5 Stars, going out of the way in every aspect.

Great Safaris both in Botswana and Zimbabwe. We saw the Big 5 and had very passionate and knowlegdeable guides. The accommodation was great and suitable for each enviroment which added to the experience. Victoria Falls were amazing absolutely spectacular! The African people are friendly and warm and have great english! Its African time when your in Africa......Chilled!!

We absolutely enjoyed our Best of Japan trip! Our Tour guide was Ben & we can’t speak highly enough of him- nothing was too hard for him & he always went the extra mile to make our trip exceptional. Our driver, Mr Shige‘s driving skills were top class & he kept us safe on our travels. Each day was action packed- stunning palaces, old villages, beautiful gardens restaurant recommendations (always delicious!)

Beautiful holiday! Our guide, Cong, was truly wonderful and did an outstanding job. I would also like to mention our driver, who was exceptionally polite, thoughtful, and caring throughout the trip. Cong explained everything with great clarity, shared fascinating knowledge about every city we visited, and spoke excellent English, making it easy and enjoyable for everyone to follow along. We also appreciated having plenty of free time on most days, which gave us the opportunity to relax, explore independently, and enjoy each destination at our own pace. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that we will remember fondly.

A great trip, full of variety, room to explore on your own and fantastic/knowledgeable and experienced local guides. Not a relaxing holiday, but brilliantly packed with new experiences, 6 destinations in 15 days, and new friendships formed with our travel ‘families’.

My son and I really enjoyed the variety of activities on the itinerary. Matsumoto was our favourite destination and having a day to explore the town was a wonderful experience of discovery. The ability to have time for leisure activities also enabled person choice and freedom of additional options. The additional tours were a highlight and I felt that visiting Hiroshima was a significant historical component to learn from. MIYAKI was very thoughtful and worked with us personally, to assist us with our individual needs. He was very knowledgeable and honest, giving much of his personal time to support the different needs of the various tour members. We were very lucky to have MIYAKI as our tour guide and I hope to have him again in my next trip to Japan with Trip a Deal. I will definitely be booking another trip with this company, as I have travelled with two other travel companies and have never experienced such a profess and rewarding trip before. I just want to thank MIYAKI again, as he was very dedicated to ensuring we were safe and happy. Thank you!

The coach travel was very comfortable and the accommodation in most places was very good! i would have loved a little more time in each location but with the distance to be covered in the short duration, that would not have been possible the cruise was a beautiful experience! everything was well organised and the entertainment, in particular, was topnotch!! i was at most of the World Stage events + all the night bands!! danced and sang especially with the BB King All Star band:) Service was great, despite the volume of passengers and the staff were ever smiling and accommodated our requests!! too many videos and pictures, so only giving you 3

Miyaki our tour guide was amazing! He was professional, respectful, kind and funny. Our hotels were beautiful, clean and all had self service laundries.

The tour in itself seemed seamless although I know that a lot of logistics and back-office work happen to make this as safe and comfortable as it can be. The highlight for me was definitely cruising the fjords surrounded by massive lush mountains and endless waterfalls. And the fact that we were given a full day use of the hotel just before a gruelling 23 hour flight home was an added bonus! Thank you Tripadeal - with the all the extras, care factor and well-thought of itineraries it's no wonder I (amongst many in my group) booked another tour this year and the next. You must be doing something amazing -👍❤️
