TripADeal Reviews

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!

The whole experience was wonderful. Our tour guide, Kara, and bus driver Ben were extremely knowledgeable and so much fun! The places we saw were mind blowing. Maybe try to start the journey closer to Yellowstone and not Seattle and maybe go to Mount Rushmore which would have been close.

It was well planned & easy to follow the itinerary. Guide & driver were excellent

The memorial

This was our first overseas trip apart from a cruise to NZ years ago so nothing to compare with and we loved it - Highlights were 1. Tuscany 2. Cinque Terre 3. Venice & absolutely loved Jesolo. It was really nice staying for 3-4 nights in the same hotel and doing the day trips. Nice to tick main sights off the list but didn’t really enjoy Rome - far too busy! Great time of year (May) to go would have been unbearable in mid summer. The optional lunches in Florence & Bologna were lovely (Florence best)

Overall great value for money. 2 longish days on the bus at the end of the land tour, but sightseeing, tour guide (Lori) and cruise were all exceptional.

Excellent trip with great driver, Warren and guide Alina, who both went above and beyond. Great excursions. No improvement needed.

I loved getting into the countryside to experience the nomad pastoral life in the steppes and the desert. The landscape features like Flaming Rocks; Limestone cliffs, Desert sand dunes, Orkhan waterfalls and the cabin camp accommodation;. Our drivers and guide were lovely men- very considerate skilful driving and the guide excellent and fun to be with; the nomad family visits showcased simple homes and lifestyle but gave a real insight into the challenges of their life and strength of culture. The camel ride- fun. Eagle hunter great photo opportunity. our group of 9 was great as we got on well and not unwieldy. Brilliant adventure!

Norway was our highlight Lots of free time Would have liked more time in Bergen Probably should say that it is so expensive compared to Australia for meals and drink

The two guides were amazing. They were caring and nothing was too much to ask. The opportunity to walk on the glass bridge at Zhangjiajie was memorable. City walks at Chingqing was breathtaking. Korean bbq lunch was great - good tasty meal.

Ease of booking. Communication from Trip a Deal including important information place tickets etc. Group of travellers were amazing and became a special family almost instantly. Choice of tours especially Halong Bay was perfect. Hotel quality was exceptional. Local guides very personal and knowledgeable in particular Som in Siem Reip. Perfect holiday without a problem. Greatly appreciate your excellence Trip a Deal. Job well done. Thank you.

Busan the highlight. Jeju a bit of a let down. Seoul good, DMZ very good, Sokcho very good. For me, a little too much shopping free time overall but probably suits the women. Guide and driver excellent. Logistics excellent.

Overall the trip was extremely enjoyable and exceeded expectations. Our Tour director (Alina Kouvchinova )provided great support and insights into the various locations and historical events associated with the places we visited. Her knowledge and insight made the journey one to remember. Warren Woodward (Wozza) our coach driver went out of his way to make the journey safe and accommodating with his time outside of his daily responsibilities.

Very knowledgeable guides, quality hotels and great organisation.

The destination of Canada and USA / Alaska was amazing and provided daily highlights. The cruise was excellent with Holland America. What made the trip even better was our tour guide Alina and our bus driver Warren. They both had amazingly positive attitudes which set the tone for the trip. Alina’s organisation and doing extra things like games on the bus, providing home made tea each day and taste testing for various local products was great. We have been on several organised tours and Alina was the best tour guide we have ever had.

Loved everything. The scenery was great, the activities were excellent. The trip was well organised. Could not have been any better.

It was a dream ( bucket list ) come true. Alaskan cruise was amazing , The tour prior to the cruise was very educational with beautiful scenery and memories which will last a lifetime time. Thank you TAD.

Great value. Opened my eyes to the advances China has made on all fronts. Excellent guides… Robert and Walker.

Awesome tour guide and driver, tour was perfect

This was our first holiday organised as a tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the ease of the holiday and the fact things were planned for us. We were apart of an amazing group of people that made our trip even more enjoyable. We also enjoyed having time to do our own thing. We felt an extra day in Ho Chi Minh would have been great. The option of coconut boat rides in Hoi An and floating village in Siem Reap would have been great. Overall we had a great holiday and hope to book another trip soon.

The tour guides Jolie and Seven were both excellent. They were both knowledgeable, organised and approachable. Seven in particular was a really lovely person who we really enjoyed having as a guide, the whole group thought he was great. I'd be very happy to do another tour with him. Both drivers (Beijing and Shanghai) were very safe and skilled drivers. Suzhou was beautiful and it would have been nice to spend more time there.

Fantastic country to visit, so much to see and do. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and offered so much information on where to eat and where to shop. We loved to see the difference between the busy cities and the relaxed Ha Long Bay and Hanoi.

This was our first holiday overseas and were not confident to organise all the transport, accommodation and sightseeing in a foreign country. TripADeal organised everything which provided us a less stressful holiday allowing us to immerse ourselves in the experience of Italy. The guide for the trip, Thomas, was very patient and knowledgeable. He organised the sightseeing and ongoing narrative during the trip. The highlights were the medieval towns were visited and Rome where we visited the Colesseum and other amazing historic places.

Loved the add on to visit singapore, the ease of using your vouchers were easy and problem free. The tour was seamless with all details covered to make a stress free holiday. Tour guides were mainly really helpful and insightful, with great knowledge of their countr. Phany Hang was particulary wonderful as he had a lot of insightful knowledge to tell at all the sites we visited and on trips on buses, looking at the country and lives of the people. Interesting tidbits on every day life and history of Cambodia. We had a fantstic time. Thankyou.

I loved the great wall, not many people say that i have walked the wall.

Our TripADeal Incredible China Tour was truly the trip of a lifetime! Every part of the journey was wonderfully organised, filled with amazing sights, fascinating history, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and unforgettable experiences. A huge and heartfelt thank you to our incredible guides who made this adventure so special. JoJo in Beijing was absolutely amazing — so knowledgeable, caring, enthusiastic, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of her beautiful city. She made every moment exciting and memorable, and her warmth and energy were appreciated by everyone in the group. For the remainder of the tour, Peter was simply fantastic. He kept everything running perfectly smoothly and always made sure everyone was happy and comfortable. His sense of humour was the absolute best and brought so much laughter and fun to our days — he truly made the trip even more enjoyable. And of course, a very special thank you to all of our drivers, who navigated us safely and comfortably throughout the entire journey. Their professionalism and care were greatly appreciated every single day. This tour exceeded all expectations and left us with wonderful memories and new friendships. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough — thank you TripADeal, JoJo, Peter, and all the team for an unforgettable adventure through China!

Having Kat as a tour guide was exceptional. She made the whole trip fun , exciting, hassle free and lots of laughs and entertainment, overall a very genuine attentive kind person.she tended to everyones individual needs making a whole 12 days one of the experiences....felt like a part of the family. Sites and activities were amazing.....with a tour guide like Kat can't go wrong

The organisation of the trip was exemplary and the itinerary perfect.

The trip was magnificent from start to finish. The hotels were excellent, all 5 star, with great facilities and restaurants. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, approachable and accommodating. The driver and other staff member were also excellent. The upgrade in The Maldives was spectacular and an incredible experience.

Well paced and ticked all my bucket lists as far as animal encounters. Sarah was a wonderful guide and her sense of humour was perfect for an Aussie group. Level of fitness challenged some but it was perfect for me. Perhaps rating fitness required could help some to make better decisions. Food was excellent and accommodation styles ranged from standard to luxury. I’ll certainly be doing trip a deal again. Many of fellow travelers have done multiple trips so was able to get some good tips for further travel. Flights were well paced and instructions were good in support of getting to airports. Big 👍 from me

Great driver and tour guide really ensured that this tour did absolute justice to a fabulous itinerary

We just completed the 5-Star Jewels of The Nile. We highly recommend this trip. The experience and effort gone into providing an amazing experience for the entire group was incredible. Our tour guide Hamesh was fantastic, he worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this trip amazing, his Egyptian history and cultural knowledge was excellent. Hamesh was easy going and flexible with our itinerary, working hard to accommodate everyone. High recommend!

An interesting and varied tour with an excellent guide (Sarah, Borneo Travels) on a comfortable bus with a very safe driver (Mr Wan) and great accomodation.
