TripADeal Reviews

Fabulous trip loved the boat cruise in Ha Long Bay fun crew too

Our Sri Lanka tour was truly wonderful. The accommodation was out of this world and made us feel like royalty. Each hotel just got better and better. Seeing the elephants, especially the little baby ones, in the national park were a special highlight. Our tour director, Dan, was exceptional. He went out of his way to make our holiday special. His love of Sri Lanka made us love it too. There were only 8 of us on the tour which made it much more personal. The Horton Plains trek was very challenging though for me as a 73 year old. The Maldives were truly beautiful and relaxing. Loved our over the water bungalow. Really enjoyed snorking with the nurse sharks and turtles. The food was exceptional.

Yenrii the tour guide in Peru was amazing. Loved the following: Eco Amazonia Lodge jungle area, Cusco town, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and the Uros people, Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio and the Iguazu waterfalls. Improvement: A few people complained about the small size of the rooms in the Windsor Plaza Hotel in Rio

Loved the variety of spectacular landscape s. Loved the experiences and interactions with nomadic families. Loved the live stocks roaming free on the land, camel, horses, yaks, cows, cashmere goats and sheep. Loved the history and culture it offers. Guide spoke very good English, can understand everything she said. She is passionate, organised and solve issues quickly if any arise. Drivers are very experienced, managed the off-road tracks with confidence. Kept us safe for the whole trip. Overall, an excellent and enjoyable tour, however must be prepared for the low height of the door to the Ger and the short beds in some Ger. Will definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Variety, iconic sites, smooth transitions, good guides, history.

Well organised tour with hotel and airport transfers with excellent supporting guides.

Fantastic trip! This was our first time on an organised group tour and it exceeded our expectations. Very well organised, informative guides, particularly our guide in Beijing, Bill who was incredibly entertaining, informative and friendly. The hotels were very comfortable and the pace of the tour whilst non-stop did not feel rushed. The optional tours were worthwhile as they enabled us to see and experience more of the cities without needing to organise anything ourselves. Overall the tour was exceptional value for money. Looking forward to doing another!

The Capetown winery day was a stand out. The accommodation was all great, especially in Capetown. The guides at Capetown (Jeremy) and at Victoria Falls (Kuta) were amazing and very knowledgeable. I loved the two and a half days of Safari in Kruger and Chobe. Saw all the animals except for a rhino in the wild. The Zambezi sunset cruise was a stand out. Helicopter over Victoria Falls was awesome. The only suggestion is for a bigger bus for the trip from Sabonani Resort to Johannesburg. 6 hours is a long time on a small bus. It would have been great to make that a internal flight.

great flights great hotels resort was 5 star staff always helpful

We generally loved it all and mostly the fact we weren’t on the run every day. We like to relax a bit more than others and because we were in places 2, 3 and 4 nights made it easier. 2 nights in Cameron Highlands was enough though. Our tour guide Gerald was very good and the hotels we stayed in were all good and except for Strawberry Resort well located. A very enjoyable trip and we will hopefully book another one soon.

We loved it all with 2 major highlights being the Taj Mahal and Ganges River experience. Everything ram very smoothly with time, guides, transport etc

Sarah our tour guide was great. Accommodation was good. The itinerary was excellent

Had a great time and learnt a lot from tour guides, especially from Nam in Hanoi , only let down was the removal of ventolin inhaler, vicks inhaler and 10000000 vnd from my bag through four zipped compartments in my room while at Reed hotel, I should had used room safe. Would recommend your company and tour to anyone, Kind regards Mike

Well organised trip plan, tour guide has lots of knowledge of Vietnam's history. Interesting place to go. If the company arrange direct flight to and back it will be save time on traveling.

Absolutely loved TripADeal, our tour leaders Sandi and Darren were Absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable and lovely. My highlight was climbing The Great Wall. The accommodation was wonderful, clean , fantastic. Breakfasts were huge. China Southern were wonderful, food on the outbound sector ex Australia was the best airline food I've had. The coach was big, clean and the driver lovely. The itinerary was wonderful. Perfect Yasmin steffe and David Pollock

Our best TripADeal holiday (out of the 4 we have done) was, without a doubt, The Ultimate South American Adventure. Latam Airlines Premium Economy was more than comfortable (booked direct through Latam) The entire itinerary was well organised and the two guides : Oscar in Peru and Roberto in Rio de Janeiro need a mention for their knowledge of the places visited and their respect and attention to our group 🙏 though it was a small group tour of 14. I prefer the small groups as we get to know each other and 25 days together brings us closer. My next trip with TripADeal is China in October ❤️

Just completed our 15 day Mongolian Adventure holiday. Was a fantastic trip. Ulzii was our tour guide, from Travel Buddies and she was excellent. Her knowledge was vast and her English very easy to understand. She was very relaxed and gave us lots of time to enjoy each stop. We had 13 people on our tour and we all got on so well. A lovely group to travel with and it made our trip so much more memorable. We travelled by 2 4wd vans, swapping between the two vans every 2 days so everyone got to travel with Ulzii, our guide who traveled in the same van. This worked for us. The home stay was lovely. The family so welcoming. The amenities there are basic but that is what we expected so no issues. Every day we had a new location to discover. While there were days of long off road driving, due to the changing scenery and spotting of animals, the days went quickly. We traveled mid June and experienced all 4 seasons. Temperatures of 33 degrees at the Khongor Sand Dunes then 2 days later snow and a high of 8 degrees in Central Mongolia. It rained occasionally but we were spoilt as it only rained when it did not impact us (night time or while driving). Accommodation was in Ger's which were very spacious and comfortable. Shared bathroom facilities were close by and clean. This is a holiday for those that want to experience nature and learn of a countries history. A place that is different to the normal holiday. I highly recommend it.

Loved the great wall but would like longer there. Took too long to get through security for Tiananmen square. Spent too much time shopping not enough on tours but other than that it was fantastic

Overall the holiday to Egypt and Jordan was good. We booked the luxury tour and that is what we expected. Flights, tour guides, attractions were all good and organised. Communication from tour guides was through WhatsApp otherwise we would have had no idea as we had multiple guides through the tour. 5 Star hotels in Egypt are self rated. Yes they were great hotels but the biggest disappointment was that every hotel we had was the base accomodation for that hotel. Would expect this from a mid range holiday not luxury. As it was low season every hotel was basically empty so upgrading rooms would have been better. The luxury Nile cruise was extremely overrated. Yes luxury boat we only 10 guests and again the base rooms. Service on the boat was poor, we pretty much had to defend for ourselves, only getting service when asked and the manager of the boat was unapproachable. Another disappointment is that when out on tours and options for lunch we were always taken to the restaurants that the guides had organised. Given customers options would be better and appreciated.

We shared this holiday as a family mum, dad and two teenage sons 16 & 20. The highlights of our trip were the unforgettable overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay, the stunning Pu Luong resort, and experiencing the incredible history and culture of this beautiful country. The food included was second to none and we never went hungry! What truly made this trip such a standout experience, though, was our wonderful guide, Tam. His warmth, knowledge, advice, and ability to share so much information — all while keeping us laughing along the way — made the journey what it was. Tam was a huge part of making this trip the incredible success and memorable experience that it became. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Do yourself a favour and book!

Superb tour. Excellent excursions with first class tour Guide. Roland is an exceptional guide, with in depth knowledge, insights and a wicked sense of humour. Hotels were outstanding apart from first night in Sandarkan. I actually expected that standard of hotel for the duration of the trip given what we paid. Borneo needs more visitors to support the preservation of the rainforest. It's mind-blowing to see the huge palm oil plantations that have destroyed much of the stunning rainforest. This was our first trip a deal tour, we are definitely booking more. The booking, payment, flight confirmation, documentation is excellent.

Loved the visits to the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, Shanghai by night, the lakes and the boat rides and it was great travelling on the bullet train. Loved being looked after by Emely and Robin… great guides. Accommodation and transports were great. Food was great. Impressed by the organisation of the trip, no complaints, only praise. Also impressed by TripaDeal’s costumer service.

Tour Guide was amazing as first time travelers the transfers and pick up and drop off to airport were excellent. One rowing boat experience would’ve been enough, the lady three nights in the one motel at the end was a little bit too much two nights would’ve been perfect. and then finishing with one night in a different location would’ve been better.

From start to finish we were very impressed with communication, the itinerary and value for money! Our Tour guide Lucky was the best. He offered us lots of options for activities outside of the planned itinerary, taught us Vietnamese every day and had amazing knowledge of his country! Would recommend this holiday package to everyone as this trip was a great introduction to Vietnam. We are looking forward to our next trip a deal tour of Vietnam in the future.

We had a wonderful time on this Mongolia tour. The scenery was spectacular, and the sights and activities were great. My only criticism was that there was quite a lot of free time built into the itinerary. While some downtime was appreciated, I felt there were opportunities to include more sightseeing or cultural activities in some locations. Overall, this was a memorable trip that gave me a great introduction to Mongolia, and I would happily recommend it to others.

Our guide Surjit/obama made this trip something truly magical. We loved the itinerary and traditional meals. The hotels were wonderful. Our group was great. Everything was amazing. As we all arrived around midnight a lazy day in Colombo would have been great.

Loved Hanoi city Really enjoyed Coffee train experience lunch and rickshaw which was optional extra. Great market shopping Loved Ha Long bay boat cruise drinks and dinner, fantastic experience Ninh binh restaurant food was lovely and we were fortunate to see a concert and lantern market., while we were there. Encourage to add this to your as was amazing Great value for money

I didn't actually get to enjoy the holiday due to out of control circumstances. But I am so appreciative of the assistance provided by both Trip A Deal - in particular Mitch T & the team from Nomad Africa Tours & Safaris - Cézanne & Anneliese went above & beyond to assist with my transfers back to Australia & played an important role in my mental & physical health & safety. I highly recommend both organisations. I will definitely be booking my next experience with Trip A Deal !!!

Our Japan Discovery trip was very good, highlights were Mt Fuji which we had a beautiful day to view. Hotels were clean but a little on the small side. Our tour guide was pleasant but I think he could have been a bit more helpful in telling us what we could do on our free days .

Highlights was our tour Guide Bahama, he was amazing, thoughtful, caring and wanted us to be happy and enjoy every minute of Sri Lanka! And yes he achieved this, I couldn’t pick one particular moment that was a highlight because every minute was awesome! I will be back

We really appreciate the hard work and excellence provided by our two tour guides Rogin and Jack. And also our bus drivers and all involved in the background to make everything smooth and pleasant.

Aiko was an excellent tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and well organised. The drivers were professional and ensured we travelled safely throughout the tour. The bus rides were consistently smooth and comfortable, making the journey very enjoyable. While the overall hotel experience was good, the breakfast options for vegetarians were quite limited. Offering a greater variety of vegetarian dishes would enhance the experience for future guests.

We had a great time! We went in the winter so the weather was nice and the animals were active. The safari trips were great. The jeeps are comfortable and the guides very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the optional scenic panoramic drive from Kruger National Park. It was beautiful. The time in Capetown was really nice and again the optional day along the coast was great.

Loved Shanghai. Inner Mongolia was ordinary. Accommodation was all very good. Would have been good to fly directly out of Brisbane. We were told we had to fly out of Sydney only to meet a number of people on our tour who flew out of Brisbane. This added another 2 days to our trip. Otherwise a great value holiday. Thank you

Absolutely loved this trip. It’s unavoidable but the he roads were below very poor so it became uncomfortable in the drives between camps. Accommodation excellent Some adjustment due to the tipping cultures Guides very knowledgeable Food excellent Could not fault this trip . Would highly recommend .

It was all amazing. Very well organised. Thanks

I loved everything about the trip. It was amazing.

The guides were great, particularly Bill during the Beijing leg. Loved the mix of old and new new cultures. Would like some other optional inclusions including Disneyland . We dod do Disneyland but missed out of the train and market.

Our trip was booked because of the price & itinerary. China was, to be honest, not on our priority list of places to visit. We are so glad we went. Tour guides in Beijing & in Shanghai were fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly & helpful with places to eat & shop & with local insights on where to go whenever they were asked with free evenings Drivers were champions of the very busy roads. Highlights, obviously the Great Wall- absolutely amazing. Era acrobatic show was mind blowing. Bullet train-WOW. We can honestly say that we did all the additional tours & are so glad we did. Shanghai & Beijing are clean, safe & modern cities, totally different of what we had expected. Personally the tour was a brilliant snippet of ancient, post war & possible future of China. We would definitely go to China again.

Our guide Udi was awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Our driver was incredible. Loved the wildlife and mix of tents and hotels. Food was great and options provided to check out options in towns was wondetful. Fabulous scenery.

I loved everything in this tour and very well planned too. The only thing I want to suggest, please arrange to provide more options for vegetarians like us in the breakfasts in the hotels. Apart from that tour was fantastic and we are looking forward to next one now.

Loved all the visited places in all regions. We loved Dragon’s ( our tour guide ) extreme knowledge passion and friendliness . We cannot compliment him enough. We recommend this trip to anyone who is a first timer in visiting Japan . We will definitely be back. Thank you

We really enjoyed Vietnam. The tour ran like clockwork. The luxury accommodation and tour extension were really worth the upgrade. Tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating with special needs of some of the guests.( which I hope was appreciated) The tour did recommend a moderate fitness level and this was definitely the case to truly enjoy the full trip, which we did. We traveled with another couple of friends and this really enhanced our trip as well. It was very fun and great value for the price

The tour was well organised, guides where exceptional, day tours great, would like to have spent more time at som and and less at others. Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors were the highlights. Nina and Serena our guides couldn't do enough for us,.

We loved everything about our holiday, our guides were so easy to understand and helped us out whenever we needed it, great hotels, comfortable buses. One of our best experiences ,,,

Our accommodations were amazing as was Dan, our guide in Sri Lanka. Everything went completely smoothly and enjoyed all the places we visited in Sri Lanka. The Maldives couldn’t have been any better. My only suggestion would be to add a day extra on the Sri Lankan trip and stay at Ella so the travel wasn’t as long between Nuwara Eliya – Galle. It was a very long day of n the bus and Ella looked like a great place to stop.

Loved the Great Wall Loved the whole trip the guides Were amazing great value For the money I would go on another Trip with the company

We loved it all the places we had been, the activities that we shared and how our guides guided us and how their shared the histories of both the Shanghai and Beijing to us. The guides were friendly and funny and made our trips interesting. Our group were all good, cooperative and no problems were happened during the trips. I left my 2 Samsung tablets during our last security check in Shanghai for Beijing and with the help of Robin and Serena I had recovered it. There was incident that my friend left his wallet in Starbucks and that was recovered too with the help of our guides We’re already looking for our next adventure. Thanking you so much for the experience.

We loved all of the Japan experience, the vibrancy of Tokyo, the beauty of the countryside we saw on our way to other places, the wonderful temples and shrines. The hotels we stayed at were pretty good, and the bus we travelled on was excellent. Our guide Yusuke was wonderful. His knowledge of the history, geography and culture of Japan was excellent, and his enthusiasm for the experience of his guests was a joy. Thank you TripADeal.

Everything was well organised and all the details were provided in advance. Our tour guide was great - very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire tour. As a local, he shared a wealth of knowledge and insights, which made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. The tour was great value for money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get a taste of what Japan has to offer.

The tour was good. The show performance in Ulanqab, Mongolia was great. It was beyond our expectations.

I would like to acknowledge the team at Trip-a-Deal for their prompt, professional and friendly assistance when I brought my old passport instead of my new one. After flying from Adelaide to Sydney only to go through customs and realise my mistake, my travelling partner had to go ahead whilst I had to stay overnight in Sydney. A couple of frantic phone calls later, the wonderful team were able to rebook my flights for the next day and my son took a red eye from Adelaide to bring me my new passport. I was now able to join the tour within 24 hours. Upon my arrival in Sandakan, a lovely guide, James, and a driver met me at the airport to my surprise. I really thought I would have to make my own way to the hotel! They then took me straight to the Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary and to see the sun bears. I was thrilled, as I thought I would miss this part and it was the main reason for my choice of travel. I cannot thank Trip a Deal enough for their help and attention to my situation. We went on to have the best trip. Michael, our tour guide, was the best! His knowledge and passion for the beautiful country of Borneo was infectious and we were all captivated by the stories and history. The highlight was the river cruises to find the Pygmy elephants, which chose not to make an appearance sadly. The Kinabatangan River is stunning and we learned so much about the wildlife we did see and came away with an appreciation and fascination for so much more. The whole trip was well planned, we did so much but still had some down time which we needed. We were glad we added the extra 2 nights at the end to stay at the stunning Shangri La Resort in Kota Kinabalu. I highly recommend this trip. Amazing value for money. My friend and I are now looking at our next Trip a Deal holiday!

Great trip - breathtaking scenery and fantastic tour guide

Bana Hill and Golden bridge, Ho chi min war tunnels. Gluten free meals were difficult with language barriers.

The entire trip was very well coordinated. Our Canada tour guide Laura Freeman, being a local, was amazing. Her local knowledge was next level and personality, just lovely. 15 out of 10 for Laura. The Alaskan cruise on the Koningsdam was magnificent. The ship & its staff was amazing.

Overall the trip was amazing, such beautiful scenery. Zoom our tour guide was awesome. Accomodation was of good quality. More water needed of first day as very hot & humid. Would definiately book with tripadeal again.

the Rocky Mountains, especially the Jasper Park adventure. The accommodation in the Rockies was 5 star The cruise was definitely first class

The whole holiday was well planned and executed, I liked everything about it, a suggestion for the Inner Mongolia, could have included an optional tour of a Wind Turbine with info on China's green energy industry. The guides King and John were great and made our tour group a family by the end of the trip. Good fun and helpful.

The beautiful locations through Canada and Alaska. Loved the Glacier- Lake Louise - Banff - Skagway The accommodations were really neat and comfortable. Laura and Jay were great and informative Overall AWESOME

Everything was so perfect the guides were very informative and extremely helpful and always courteous. The drivers were exceptional anyone who can drive in those conditions deserves a medal. As usual TripADeal comes up trumps.

Superbly-organised, great accommodation (especially the Hilton in KK), outstanding tour guide. Safe driver, comfortable coach. Great value for money. Would have liked a tour of tea factory and do tea tasting at Sabah Tea. That would probably have led to more sales for their shop too. A little more variety in the meals would be beneficial too, I think. This was our first tour, and we will be back for another one soon! Thank you TripaDeal

We really enjoyed the 10 days of China. Specially Serena and Robin our tour guides are excellent. They both supported us whenever, wherever they can. Explained everything in details. Serena helped us to order food etc Can’t thank enough both One issues was, we had a late flight from Beijing to Shanghai and flight got delayed, when we checked in it was 5.30 in the morning. Which the flight was scheduled little bit early

Great well organised trip covering major tourist attractions & cultural highlights, fast paced but great value for money overall!

Stress that the tour is a walking and step climbing holiday. You can not have any significant ankle, knee or hip problems. Similarly no significant lung or heart disease. Take your own toilet paper and sanitiser with you.Not supplied in the public loos. Most of them are the infamous squatter!!! China esim probably required. Cash works just about everwhere as well as Alipay. It was a great holiday. Everything worked like a swiss watch. Great guides. Friendly locals.

We ticked off many things from our bucket list, highlights being The Great Wall and Wuling Mountain. The landscape was beautiful. Each guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The days were long but manageable. Consistent times for lunch and dinner would have been appreciated but the itinerary was too full at times for this to happen.

Our group of 8 enjoyed every moment of the tour. China is an incredible country with so much history and so much to see. The tour was very well organised with excellent guides, who spoke very good English, were well informed, humourous and took well care of the whole group and were patient and always willing to help with any of our requests. A shout out to Celery and Echo, our fabulous guides. With so much packed into the tour, be prepared for a hectic time of early starts and not much free time. The hotels were good and the breakfasts provided were huge and had both Chinese and western offerings. Most hotels are away from the city centre, so you do spend time on the bus getting to each location. The buses are very comfortable with aircon, so enjoy the scenery while listening to your guide. Highlights: Walking the Great Wall, the immensity of it is mind blowing; The Terracotta Warriors; The greenery in Beijing and blue skies; The food!; The many friendly people. Improvements: A little more free time We hope to go back to see more of this beautiful country. Thank you. Diane

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, especially what we got for the price. The tours and guides allowed us to have insight into the people, culture and environment of China. The Great Wall and The Terracotta Warriors were amazing. We had a great group for our tour and our guides, Leo, Richard and Ivy were incredible. Definitely can recommend this trip.

It was a great holiday, very well organised and very busy. But I do think the tipping , which is mandatory, should be included in the trip cost. The guides are very forward when asking for their mandatory tips.

Excellent guides. All 3 knew an awful lot about their country. Very impressive!

We really enjoyed this trip, but the two massive highlights were Ha Long Bay Tour and Ba Na Hill Tour! The tour guides were very helpful, experienced and a joy to learn from. Food was delicious with the option to choose, transportation was a breeze and well organised and the hotels were 4 - 5 stars!!!! We overall really did enjoy our time in Vietnam and Cambodia, however one suggestion we have is minimising the amount of temple tours, to potentially have some days where we see more scenery. Temples were beautiful but I think we missed out on seeing nature. Highly recommend this trip through TripADeal :)

The diversity of activities. The order of of the activities was well thought out. The guide Rowland was informative and entertaining. He genuinely cared for the group.

Excellent tour guide. Tour was well organised. Some accommodation excellent, others below par.

Stayed at some really nice hotels. The tour guide Sujee was excellent lots of local knowledge and well organised. Loved the safari’s and travelling up to the tea country. Also appreciated some down time during the trip and being able to enjoy the lovely facilities of the hotels. Would definitely recommend this tour

Bus - good Hotel - from poor to excellent Breakfast - good Destination’s - most were enjoyable Yalla National Park - exceptional, highlight of trip

The absolute highlight of our trip was our host Duc. He introduced us to his Vietnam so we felt immersed and comfortable from the very start. The first stage of our trip was a beautiful introduction to Hanoi, Ha Long and Pu Luong with a mix of energetic activity and relaxing, and good food everywhere we went. We could easily have gone home happy after this but we also booked the extension. The extension trip was a contrast with the coastal atmosphere of Hoi An, and the eye opening Ba Na Hills optional activity, then the bustling city life of Ho Chi Minh, but it made us feel like we had experienced as much of Vietnam as we could.

The itinerary was great and some of the guides were fantastic other were too focussed on upselling the options. Our tour group were awesome which made the whole experience better. The cruise was very average , I am not sure who set the schedule but wasting a whole day doing nothing on a boat sitting in one place is dumb. A better way to do it would be to sail and give people a day In chongquin to explore at the end. Spending hours at an airport is also a complete waste of time in China. The tour guide seemed happy to dump us at an airport with hours to spare or waste a whole day around travel without any sightseeing . The last thing I will say is that every tour guide except one only concentrated on the tour highlights not once did they explain sights as the bus was driving along which would have been easy to do Don’t get me wrong the above are feedback and we loved the trip to China. And the sights were amazing Craig

we had a great time , would love to have a little more free time at the resorts first day - but overwise a lot to do in a short a mount of time

The entire trip was amazing. The Great Wall was a dream come true. I loved Shanghai, such a modern vibrant city . So well organised. Value for money +++++++Southern China Airlines were excellent. Our tour guides were excellent. Alice In Beijing gave 200 percent of herself.She is such a advocate for the service . Professional, informative , caring, helpful and ensured we all learnt about the Cities in China we visited .

The holiday was well organized it went very smoothly our stay at Singapore and the Maldives were ones to remember

Scenery, sights and tour leaders were all great. A few small number in the group complained about one tour leader in Xian but we thought she was terrific. Only thing would have been to get some earlier train rides as we seemed to arrive at hotels very late in the night on a few occasions and then had early starts the next morning.

Our South American holiday was excellent, and the inclusions were fantastic value. The Galapagos Islands and Peru were the highlight and our tour guides on these sections were outstanding. In Peru we had Willington (Velencia Travel) and his knowledge and organisation skills were incredible. We did not need the other local guides provided in Peru and felt the extra tipping for these guides was excessive. The additional activities offered were all outstanding however we prepaid these activities prior to leaving Australia through TripAdeal and we found generally that they were cheaper to purchase once on site.

It was as advertised. The guide went out of her way to add value to our experience

We recently returned from TripADeal’s China tour visiting the Great Wall and the Terracotta Warriors, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. From the outset, communication was excellent, with regular and clear updates via email. Even when we had a small hiccup departing Perth—leaving 2.5 hours late and missing our connection to Beijing—both TripADeal and Cathay Pacific handled the situation exceptionally well. Cathay Pacific was incredibly organised, providing accommodation, meals, and a new flight the following morning. We truly couldn’t fault their service at all. Using the TripADeal emergency contact number, I was able to quickly notify them that we wouldn’t be arriving on time. The communication and support we received were outstanding, with updates passed on to all relevant parties. Being able to connect via WhatsApp was also a huge plus and made the whole process seamless and reassuring. When we finally arrived at the hotel, the staff went above and beyond, contacting our tour guide, who promptly arranged transport so we could meet up with the group. Everything worked out perfectly, and from that point on, the trip ran very smoothly. The tour itself was fantastic. Our guides were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also highly humorous, bringing so much energy and laughter to each day. Travelling with a great group of fellow Australians and New Zealanders added to the fun, and we shared many laughs along the way. The highlights, from walking the Great Wall to seeing the Terracotta Warriors, were unforgettable, and the cuisine throughout the trip was delicious. This was our first experience with TripADeal, and it certainly won’t be our last. We’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with them!

Ankor Watt was a fascinating destination. Overall very interesting.

I went with my partner & we really enjoyed everything. Ending at the Maldives was the best thing. We could just relax for 4 days.

The small group was great, the locations and hotels were good. I loved the energy of Dong Van. We think the buses should be fitted with working seat belts - most of our were broken. Water on board would be great if kept in esky on ice. It would be even better to reduce plastics by carrying a water dispenser and ensuring everyone has a metal or glass bottle. Phone charging points would be nice but our guide did have a charging bank. Many hotels had no black tea eg English breakfast and we couldn’t find in the shops so that could be valuable. I encourage our guide to continue English language and pronunciation lessons as there were many times when I couldn’t be understood and it took us all several days to pick on some unusual pronunciations

We thoroughly enjoyed Kruger National Park. Having lions walk alongside our truck was just remarkable along with seeing Leopards, Impala, Elephants, etc. The Chobe National Park was another great opportunity to view more wild life and the river cruise was amazing - relaxing while being close to the animals along the waters edge. The Zambezi Sunset River Cruise was a luxury vessel with comfortable seating and great views. Well organised with the odd small exception.

Hotels were great Food was terrific Great group of fellow travellers to enjoy the trip with Guides were great

Pretty much everything. 35 great people on our tour, with an unflappable guide Filip who just delivered on every front. Together with our driver Slavic we felt safe and the priority in this tour. The TAD tour was a pretty comprehensive package of iconic locations along with a few less known out of the way places, we expected this and it delivered. The camaraderie on our bus, humour and the interaction between the group and guide was key to its success. Accommodation was also excellent. Additional guides in many of the locations made the visits a feature, with a lot of background and history shared. For us visiting the sites on our journey is only part of the even, learning from knowledgable guides is essential. Overall we lived every aspect of the Beauty of the Balkans tour…

Loved it all. Great to see some iconic places. Could have include a few more evening especially in Sri Lanka as difficult to know where to go, epically when staying at locations where there were no choices except resort. Transport was comfortable, guides were great and knowledgeable Would have been good to be aware of what places were for stops to get lunch when travelling in Sri Lanka I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to visit this area if the world

Japan is a beautiful, green country. The ride from bottom to top was mainly thru mountainous country and was done at an exceedingly slow pace. The cities were great but nothing beat our travels thru the mountains. Japan and its people live to a different beat of the drum and it was so refreshing. So was the air and the drinking water. A major highlight was out tour guide. Nothing was too much for her. She worked so hard to meet our needs. Almost like a mother hen!! She was a highlight and I think the whole group agreed. Our driver was calm, very proficient and his driving was so smooth. Japan, the tour and tour operators could not have been better!~!

The guides King, Rocky and JZ were amazing. We were a group of 9 they were always very friendly and helpful. The itinerary was excellent and hotels amazing. We all would go back again. We suggest giving the link for the online entry into China before hand as there were delays and frustration at the airport trying to submit the entry cards.

Well organised Great guides Great accommodation Travel good Fabulous experiences

The entire tour was excellent. The accommodation was luxurious. We are so happy that we were able to stay at the best hotels in Sri Lanka. We loved the range of the hotels- resort style, vintage tea factory turned Hotel, double tree by Hilton etc We really liked our tour guide Arch, the Driver and the Tour assistant. Arch was very professional, provided educational information, answered all of our questions and was very nice. He was organised and did the Tour very well. Every day that we entered the boss that Tour assistant gave us a different flower. When it was someone’s birthday, the Tour assistant decorated the bus with balloons and Happy birthday decorations. We got to learn a lot about Sri Lanka. We got to learn about the history, art, society and its different industries like the tea . We have already recommended this Tour to our friends.

Elephant safari and history

The balance between exploring days and free days was perfect to be able to get the most out of my 8 days.

Standing on the great wall, visiting the site of the terracotta warriors and Tiananmen square were all inseparable for me, [simply awesome and expiring], Shanghai by night river cruise also is a must do, as was the cook it yourself hot pot lunch. The only negative for me was that some of the hotel included breakfasts were more on the cold side, [apart from the eggs which were always hot], coffee was more on the warm side too rather than hot. This is not a complaint by any means, [just stating the obvious], as did other members on our tour.

The trip was well organised. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the holiday from Copenhagen to the beautiful Norwegian fjords. We loved Stockholm and Helsinki. Ferry trips were great as was the train journey. We would have preferred extra time in Copenhagen and Oslo.

It was incredible journey full of excursions, visiting historic and modern sites, parks, museums. The highlight was Great Wall of China, though i love every single place we visited. Our tour guides were amazing! They were ambassadors for their country and shared with us many interesting facts and stories. They looked after our group very well. The whole tour was beyond expectations. And now I strongly recommend this tour to all my friends and colleagues. Thank you so much, Trip a Deal! It was absolutely wonderful tour!!!
