TripADeal Reviews

Tour guide was amazing. Accomodation was first class

The guide, Mackay was very interesting and informative.

Our guide Sarah was excellent

Overall a great trip to give you a highlight of the two countries.

What an absolute amazing holiday. The mountains tour was simply beautiful. The scenery, the people, the food…all fantastic. The tour was very well organized with enough down time to rest and explore the towns. Our tour guide, Hiep, was the best! So friendly, knowledgeable, funny and patient. I will definitely use trip a deal for future holidays.

It was amazing our tour guides were brilliant and the whole trip was perfect

We had the best guide ever. Ben talked and explained everything along the way. He was always available to talk to either when all together or on our free time. Our drivers were fantastic as there were some mountainous curvy drives. Although we had long days, we most definitely covered a lot of Taiwan. It was great to travel on other modes of transport, trains and a cruise on Sun Moon Lake. Stops were made enough for toilet stops and to stretch our legs.

Location of hotels were central and in general very comfortable. Tour guide knowledge was excellent! History of each district and landmarks was incredible.

It was everything I could ask for apart from sunburn, woul definitely book again. Our host Michael was a delight and the driver and his spotter, were a delight. Trying to download photos but don't know why it won't download them 😕

Excellent guide - Ben. Nil improvement necessary.

Great guide and really good hotels. Itinerary also very good.

I thought everything was perfect it was our first trip a deal tour and I’m sure we will travel again with your company ! Our tour hide and bus driver were fabulous and I must say I was so pleasantly surprised with hotels the quality was amazing for the price ! I’d have loved a later start each travel day just an hour later would have made it much easier everyone said the same thing But this trip has been fabulous so thanks so very much **

We had the absolute pleasure of having Tim as our tour guide on our recent holiday to Vietnam, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Tim was incredibly kind, patient, and always made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. His knowledge of Vietnam—its history, culture, and hidden gems—was outstanding and added so much depth to every part of the journey. What really set Tim apart was his ability to bring the group together. He made us feel less like tourists and more like a family travelling together, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best possible experience. Thanks to Tim, our trip wasn’t just a holiday—it was something truly special that we’ll always remember. We feel very lucky to have had him as our guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Vietnam.

1. level of accommodation at the first three destinations was under standard, the Hilton at Kota was great 2. tour guide Sara was fantastic, however she did not take into account everyones vote for any changes to certain spots 3. food options were limited in the more rural places

Fabulous trip…. Saw so much and got to Machu Picchu, life long dream. Tour guide, Claudio was fantastic, as were all the staff from Valencia Travel. So well organised, caring and knowledgeable. So many highlights … Rainbow Mountain, soaking in hot springs at Aguas Callientes, visiting the families on the floating islands on Lake Titicaca. A whirlwind trip, early starts most mornings, and probably would have liked a free afternoon now and then, but overall highly recommend this trip.

To start off we had three great tour guides, a fun group of Aussies and the hotels were excellent. There is no doubt that places like the Hoi An river lantern cruise and markets were a stand out, as of cause was Ha Long bay, both the on ship experience and the incredible caves. The three-hour cruise at Ninh Binh on the tiny four-person bamboo boats was fun and going through those caves was breath taking. Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels was an eye opener as was the war museum in Saigon. The Golden Bridge (Cầu Vàng) and the Sun World Ba Na Hills theme park in Da Nang was a lot of fun. All in all we had a marvellous time, thank you Trip a Deal.

Temples, climbing volcano’s, snorkeling with a couple turtles and a shark. Our guide was great. He was always looking out for us. I felt really safe.

First time using TripaDeal excellent pick up at the airport was easy, drop off easy. Time our tour guide was excellent also our driver, nothing was too difficult for him and he was always available to help in any way. Food was amazing and plenty of it. We learned so much about Vietnam from Tim. Thank you TripaDeal.

We found our Sri Lankan guide (Eric) to be very good and extremely helpful for any questions we had. The hotels we stayed at were all amazing. Our highlight was the elephant safari

The 3 guides were brilliant….. The information they provided made the trip because they explained very well the history and the future of Vietnam. In Hanoi perhaps a trip to the Ho Chi Minh memorial might be a good idea to add ? He was after all a very big player in the history of Vietnam. We drove passed because I asked. It was very good to see and I think all tourist’s would enjoy that. So good that our guide Zoom could adjust and do a drive by… A big thank you to Zoom !!!!!

Anzac Day ceremonies were unforgettable

Loved the variety of activities and tours. Hotels were comfortable and well located. Our guide Mimi was very knowledgeable and caring. Good value for money.

Going to Gallipoli, being present remembering the sacrifice of our Australians.

Loved Sth Korea. Very clean country. Loved the beautiful countryside and mountains. I hadn't planned on doing the DMZ but changed my mind and glad I did as I enjoyed the day. For the ladies Korea has lots of reasonably priced beauty products. Our tour leader Lara was lovely and knowledgeable on the history of Korea and our driver Mr Lim did a good job getting us safely around the country. The hotels were also very good, no complaints there. I highly recommend seeing South Korea.

We enjoyed the whole trip, the elephant safari and the views all along the trip were highlights. Our guide Chabby was excellent his knowledge was encyclopedic. We had a group of 16, which was the ideal size. The Maldives was a more relaxing experience on a beautiful island.

The trip was full of seeing the highlights of both Japan and South Korea. There were probably lots of other sights to see but we saw everything the itinerary noted. The tour guides were both very knowledgeable of their country and explained a lot of history to us. Both tour guides were different in their own right, although the Japan tour guide Yusuke gave recommendations about where to eat etc.. it would 've been extremely difficult to do the same in South Korea because there are soo many food options to choose from. Great value and I recommend this trip.

Paul the guide was excellent

Our tour guide Gift and his driver Casper were the absolute best 100% of the time. The scenery and animals were amazing, and so many of them even though it was wet season. There are a lot of long days due to driving to get to all of the places but it is worth it. Border crossings were always fun, seeing what food would be taken!

Highlights:- getting up to level 5 Mt Fuji and visiting Hiroshima. Overall very interesting trip. I like to observe us much as possible from the varity and makes of cars to looking at flora.

great group and tour. Marriot in Mulu was exceptional

Mt Fuji was definitely my highlight. We were there on a perfect day and went to the fifth station. To see it up close and personal was amazing. Followed by Hiroshima where I learnt a bit more about it that I didn’t know. Hakones outdoor sculpture museum was another highlight for me. Beautiful gardens and amazing sculptures. Geisha dinner was great although expensive. The rest of trip was a bonus. The trip was value for money. We met some lovely people . It would be good to have name tags until we got to know people. Also would be great to have a final dinner with everyone included in the price to say goodbye. Otherwise we were very happy. The Japanese are lovely people and an amazing culture. I can’t seem to upload a photo so sorry about that. Jason our guide was great.

Loved all the places we visited, our driver and guide (Sujith) were amazing. Some days can be long however we are covering a lot of ground. I feel like you really need at least 2 days in one place so you can take it all in and explore. Food was great, people warm and friendly! 4 days in Maldives at the end was a perfect way to relax after Sri Lanka. This tour is value for money, you don't have to think too much and you get a true sense of Sri Lanka through the guides. Sujith/ Obama enjoyed sharing his country, the history and traditions with us. He really made the trip special.

Loved it, seeing the Pygmy elephants was the highlight for us. Dom and Matt where excellent.

The tour gave us a good overview of Malaysia and how all the different cultures have come to this country and retained their original heritage but added a Malay flavour on top. Travelling in different regions of the country showed us the beautiful places Malaysia has to offer for travellers and tourists. The Magical Malaysia tour was well planned and our guide Gerald Ramesh was just fantastic, he went above and beyond what is expected from a guide, he made sure eveonye was included everywhere we went and his knowledge and history of Malaysia was truely impressive. This was our first trip with an organised tour as we usually organise our own travel but we enjoyed not having to worry about anything as it was all organised by TripaDeal so we simply enjoyed the experience, we are now looking at doing another TripaDeal tour later on this year.

Our guide Kentaro was excellent nothing was too much trouble for him & I loved his daily weather report & tips. The itinerary was excellent, I’ve recommended this trip to all my friends, loved it.

Halong Bay boat trip was great due to evwryone joining in Karaoke. It let everyone get to know one another Bana Hills was great as too was AngkorWat

Communication and organization - excellent! Fantastic value for money - lovely tour guides, bus was spotless and driver was excellent! Accommodation and meals - excellent! Sightseeing excellent!

Our guide Dom was amazing and really made the trip 5 star.

The accomodation was excellent. We enjoyed all aspects of our tour, except for the visits to the commercial tourist businesses. Eg wood shop, mask making business etc. Other historical visits were very interesting. Our guide Lakmal, was very informative and gave very wise advice to keep us all out of trouble.

Well organised. Our Guide was excellent - her care, knowledge and compsure could not be faulted.

We had a great trip. We enjoyed being in a small group of 20 people which was the perfect amount of people. The people in our group were great, everyone had a great time and there was plenty of time to do your own thing if you wanted to and you didn’t choose to do the optional activities. We did the optional activities which were fantastic and provided an opportunity to see key areas and icons of Vietnam. The trip was well organised and accommodation was great. The tour guides we had were amazing and very knowledgeable, nothing was a hassle. The guides looked after us very well and provided excellent recommendations for food, drinks and sites during free time. This was our first group tour and we truly loved every moment. Will certainly recommend Trip a Deal. We already have another trip planned in November. Thanks Trip a Deal Jason & Catherine

The accommodation was first class. Our guide Johnny was fantastic. The time at each place was right and the sights seen were beautiful.

This was my first trip a deal trip and I loved it. It was busy and very full on some days but worth it in the end. Our guide Tako was amazing!! Goes above and beyond. I will definitely do another trip a deal

This was my first experience of holidaying with TripADeal and I have come home with nothing but good memories of the group and the exceptional performance of our Tour Leader, Bus Driver and Assistant. The Tour Leader, Danny, was in part historian, sociologist and the imparter of wisdom. The itinerary included all the areas that gave a rounded summary of the various regions of Sri Lanka. The hotel accommodation was exceptional.

Very well planned ! Saw so many things

The booking and payment process was seamless. Great communication as our booking changed before we travelled. Flights were great and transfers were very good. Resort was 5 star, accomodation beautiful clean and well maintained. Food and service was amazing. Highlights were the service from the staff and the beautiful location. The resort was stunning and the location perfect.

Our guide Kito and our driver were excellent, can not fault them. They were so helpful and wanted everyone to see as much as possible so went out of their way to ensure it happened. The whole programme was well organised. The blend of tour time, travel time and our own time was very appropriate and ensured we had a good time. The group on our tour were fabulous and we all got on well. We highly recommend this to everyone of our friends.

Loved the Sri Lanka and Maldives luxury trip I was worried I would not get to see much of Sri Lanka but we managed to see a lot and got to experience a good mixture of nature.,culture and sights. The Maldives was sensational and a perfect way to end the trip. We had a small group which made the trip perfect and our tour guide Angelo,Driver D and tour assistant Kamahl were fabulous and ensured we had the best time and were safe throughout our journey

Fantastic organisation of all aspects by Tripadeal. Guides outstanding especially Tan Tran and Jon Doh. So supportive and informative with humour and kindness

Loved Taipei , Dumplings , scenery & people

My first Trip A Deal. Well planned itinerary to cover major tourist attractions. Very crowded. Taroko Gorge the highlight. Pleased to be able to enter despite walks still closed, only walked to temple. Superlative leader nickname Pork Chop added a lot to the trip. We knew every detail for each day and a preview for next day. Appreciated all the bathroom and meal stops. PC helped with ordering delicious ocal food at markets and all queries. Excellent drivers. Loved the 4711's. Great company. Very well organised trip from initial booking. Most efficient check ins and hotels locations within few minutes walk to food places. Thanks for a great trip.

Great holiday with great service and accommodation.

A wonderful and well considered itinerary. Finishing off at the Maldives was a perfect finish to a great holiday. We found the couple of 2 x night stopovers were at the right time and accommodation all good quality. Highlights were seeing the elephants in their natural and safe environment along with the walk through Horton Plains.

Our holiday was so well planned from the very first phone call. The accommodation was amazing and the tours were well organised. All Tour Guides were outstanding and could not be more helpful. The destination was amazing.

4.5 stars. Was amazing. Staff friendly and efficient. Weather was soo hot. Flights and all information was excellent Pleased with communication.

Highlights were Table Mountain, Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park. In Maun we organised ourselves to go to Elephant Haven. I suggest this be added as an optional as was a graet experin ce

great guides food and experiences. Accommodation was excellent

The trip was fantastic, our guide Sam, was easy to talk too and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Lovely hotels, some early mornings and big days on the bus, this had to happen because of the distance. Would recommend this trip.

The guide and fellow travellers.

Everything went very smoothly All accommodation was good. Mishra, our guide was possibly the main contributor to the success of the tour. Nothing was ever a problem for him . His information on India and the places we were visiting was excellent. He always had things in place. Best guide ever. All places visited met our expectations but the Taj Majal is ultimately the highlight. Tripadeal offer a remarkable tour for the cost. The only down side was the extreme heat. In hindsight we should have paid extra to go in the cooler months. Great driver on bus who navigated India's chaotic traffic very well. As for the additional tours that were on offer some days being so long they could not be appreciated due to the fairly packed days of sightseeing. Will recommend the tour and hopefully do Tripadeal again soon.

We had an absolutely amazing time exploring Vietnam! Our journey through the north—Sapa, Hanoi, and Halong Bay—was unforgettable, made even more special by our guide Tam. He was calm and placid, knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help, which really enhanced our experience. The coach drivers also deserve a mention for being safe and reliable throughout the trip. In Hoi An, our guide Mot brought great energy with his humor and friendliness. Each destination had something unique to offer: the breathtaking scenery of Sapa, the colorful charm of Hoi An, and the rich culture of Ninh Binh and Hue. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were incredibly busy, full of constant scooter traffic, but that added to their vibrant atmosphere. Despite the hustle and bustle, both cities had fantastic food, with plenty of great restaurants to enjoy local cuisine. The food was delicious, affordable, and always a highlight. Our hotels were clean, comfortable, and of excellent quality. We also opted for some extra activities, which were well worth it and added even more fun to the trip. We also traveled with a wonderful group—18 of us in total from 3 countries—and everyone got along so well. By the end of the trip, it felt like more than just a tour group, and we’ve come away with some truly special, lifelong friendships. Although the weather was hot and humid, it didn’t take away from what was truly a fantastic and memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour! Ultimate Vietnam!

All accomodation, the itinerary was great. Felt like we even had time to relax and time to do things we wanted to do as well.

We loved most things about our holiday. Our tour guide Brendan was full of knowledge and he really looked like he enjoyed his work and getting to know the people on the tour. The river cruise was just awesome and we were very happy with the accommodation that we stayed in.

We had an excellent trip. This was our first with Tripadeal but we will definitely do more. Our guides were all very good but must point out that Huy Nguyen in Hanoi was exceptional. We were happy with all the hotels. Ha Long Bay could be 2 nights stay and perhaps Hoi An an extra night as there is so much to see and can't do it all in a short time. Our trip was so well organised, thank you.

I loved all the tours, the guides were very knowledgeable at every stop. Tony our guide in Hanoi, Lam in Ho Chi Minh and Sam in Siem Reap were fantastic, very happy personality and helpful answering any questions we had.

Loved every minute! Roger was an amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge and very approachable, friendly demeanour.

The group we traveled with were excellent.Tour guides very experienced and knowledgeable. Saw some amazing and very emotional sites.

We traveled with a great group of people which really enhanced our experience. Our tour guide Duc was just fantastic couldn’t do enough for us, very caring and attentive. Bus driver also very good. Particularly enjoyed Halong Bay and Pu Long beautiful countryside.

Such great value for money our 2 for 1 holiday of Borneo. Great knowledgeable guide - Roger Rajah made this an exceptional experience Terrific bus driver - Asri kept us safe on the long drives The wildlife was sensational ... Got to see Borneo's Big 5 The places we visited were so diversified, interesting, emotional, beautiful, so enjoyable. Accommodation ranged from 2.5 to 5 star - all centrally located, clean and safe with 5 star service throughout Included Meals exceeded our expectations

Our tour was absolutely AMAZING! Bobby our tour guide was the loveliest, knowledgeable, respectful, helpful, friendly and most wonderful guide we could have ever wished for! The bus travel & the driver were fabulous. The variety of things to do blew us in the tour away! Accomodation, buffet breakfast s & other foods we ate was excellent. I would & have already done so, recommended tripadeal to all my family, friends & co-workers! I would not hesitate to go on another tripadeal tour, well done Tripadeal!!😃🥰❤️👌👍👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you!

Guide, Driver and Hotels were sensational! We were well looked after and India was a cultural whirlwind! Would liked to have squeezed a few more sights into each city’s itinerary, but it would be hard to trade in the time spent in the afternoons at the magnificent Oberoi Hotels. Can’t praise our guide, Prishant enough. He was knowledgeable and took care of our every need and really made the experience. The bus and driver were first class. A complete holiday.

Great value. Awesome guide in Japan, Silvia - she was 5 stars alone (Please pass on rating to Sylvia as I know the entire tour group was especially impressed with her dedication, knowledge and enthusiasm.

Fantastic country to visit- loved it. Our guide and Driver made it the best trip possible

River cruises, food was amazing, accomodation was great and our tour guide Brendan was brilliant!

This was an amazing trip. Everything was excellent - accommodation, organisation, information, activities and the most fabulous tour guide, Udi. He was incredible, friendly, knowledgeable and so willing to please. He made us relax even more knowing we were in great hands. The Maldives was out of this world. A real paradise and a fabulously beautiful place. Loved it!

The staff at Lion Lodge made the holiday. From the moment we arrived to when we departed they did everything they could to make sure we had the best time. The food was amazing and definitely 5 star. Patrick,Jerry and Joyce in the bar were amazing. Elise was a stand out especially her wonderful laugh. Janique our guide could not do enough to make sure we saw as many animals as we could.

The guides we had were amazing . Well organised tour with great accomodation

Excellent tour guide, friendly and most knowledgeable. Great bunch of friendly travellers.

Great trip outline. Lovely guide. Fab bus driver and support person. Only 18 on the tour and all really nice people. Excursions and national parks we visited were excellent - saw lots of wildlife including elephants! The people of Sri Lanka were so friendly and kind. Beautiful food, mountainous areas awesome. Would have liked southern beaches and Galle to be included in trip but not so.

All of the places and sites we saw were fantastic. We had an amazing tour guide Roy who was extremely knowledgeable, so kind and thoughtful. Our first tour trip and it was easy and we met some lovely people and had a lot of fun together .

Dedicated tour guide & driver Good itinerary Interesting places Nice hotel

We had a fantastic time. Our guide in Sri Lanka, Jay, was very knowledgeable and accomadated everyones requests. Our drive, Anu, and his offsider, Chala, were also very helpful and kind. Inthe Maldives we had a wonderful butler, Thusara, who looked after all of our needs and requests. The rest of the staff were very friendly and polite, this made for a very relaxing and fun time.

I loved driving through the Japan Alps,I loved going to the Geisha show,although it was an optional it was well worth it.The tour was great,nothing more to suggest,I am glad we went at cherry blossom time,although it cost a bit more it was worth it,I actually enjoyed every minute of the Tripadeal tour,I would certainly recommend it to anybody I speak to

Great trip, was everything we expected. My wife and I had the best time touring Japan and the tour guide was excellent. Can’t recommend it enough, great value for money!

The Taj Mahal was my highlight as it was a bucket list item for me. The bus driver Satya was outstanding considering the mayhem that is Indian traffic. All in our group agreed we felt very safe during the trip due to his prowess.

It was great group to travel with and we liked the guide, bus driver and ‘water man’. The hotels were good, though it may have been good to experience one of the traditional palaces, now hotels. Personally we like a bit more time to explore each place, but this suited us well because we had two granddaughters with us. So that there were no decisions to make was perfect for us.

markets and nature areas

Excellent. Good group size (29). Guide James excellent and was our driver (Mr Won?) The program itself was well thought out with reasonable bus travel between locations...maximum 2 hrs one leg...Accommodation ranged from satisfactory to excellent and while the 5 start Hilton at the end was an absolute treat some of the eco offerings were equally as good in different ways

Loved the culture and the people

Our guide was amazing. Kento. Loved it all.

The tour guide Kento & bus driver Tukka were exceptionally professional & could not do enough to help enjoy our tour of Japan. We highly recommend them as they are the most professional tool guide operators I have ever met. The itinerary was exceptionally good. We saw everything at the to guide the tool advertised and they were very satisfied and happy with what was offered..

I got to tick off 3 bucket list ….. Halong bay Tunnels Killing fields - 51 st Memorial Day

Julie our guide was excellent. People who we met in our tour group were all friendly & fun to travel with. Coach & coach driver were excellent. Standard of the hotels we stayed in was excellent. South Korea is a fantastic place to visit. Loved the places we saw & experiences we engaged in. Everything was well organised. We thought the tour pace suited us well.

The luxury Sri Lanka trip was amazing! Our family had the best time exploring the beautiful culture, activities and sights that Sri Lanka has to offer, and the tour group of 20, was a lovely group of people, with not an issue from start to finish. Our guide Dulip Fernandez was brilliant and helped us navigate the aspects of the trip, in a way that only a local with deep knowledge of the country could. He was an extremely good guide, and we appreciated his expertise and good humor.

I loved our holiday with Trip a deal. It was full of information, lovely locations, good accommodation.Everything I wanted to see. Our guide,Kenta was fantastic, he went out of our way to make our trip so enjoyable. Our driver Tucker was a fabulous safe driver and very friendly and jovial. I also think it was excellent value for money. Thank you very much for a once in a lifetime experience.

Amazing !! Our guide Grace made the whole experience even better.

My expectations were far exceeded !! Clermont our guide was brilliant , We only had one meal together as a group which everyone really enjoyed, adding a few more ( arriving/ departing ??) would have been great even if at an added cost or possibly as an optional extra.

I enjoyed the tour very much. I had great company in my neighbours from my home village. There were many highlights: Halong Bay, although it was a bit disappointing due to the large numbers of boats and tourists; Mekong River Delta Tour; Hoi An markets; Chu Chi Tunnels and of course Angor Wat. We had two very professional guides: Mr Nam and Mr Tung. Mr Nam went an extra mile to ensure we had the experience of Train Street with a train. Jennifer could learn a lot from these two young men. Suggestion: it was a very hot day when we visited Angor Wat. I was very glad to get back to the bus. Perhaps an earlier starting time of the visit would have made it more comfortable. (The lunch provided was excellent although the local vendors were very pushy) The logistics of the tour were great. Great organisation of tours, buses, tuk-tuks etc. Very impressive! Many thanks to Trip a Deal. I would highly recommend it.

Cherry blossom was very beautiful in South Korea. The tour guide (Lara) was very friendly & helpful. The driver (Mr Lim) was very on time and professional.
