TripADeal Reviews

Thought it was very good value. Everything was well organised and our guides very knowledgeable. There were 2 groups at the same time and I think our group, the red group, had a much better deal than the green group. My only criticism of the guides was that the one in Armenia concentrated far too much on religion and it seemed we learned not so much about history and daily life. The Georgian guide and driver (Maia Kiladze and Koba Kavteladze) were excellent, going above and beyond the call of duty. Especially loved the Media area in Georgia but also thought Baku was a surprisingly nice place.

Ken Toro was excellent. His knowledge, adaptability and availability was a highlight. Having more time at the hiroshima memorial would have been great.

I sensational holiday. On the first day of the Safari and I was so overwhelmed with our much I saw - everything I dreamt and more. Ole our tour was so informative with both the Animals, Birds and Plants, and the People. Ole was so patient, and he loved the People, and the land. We saw his growing up home and the proud tradition of his Tribe. Lions, Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Impala, Antelope, WartHog, Giraffe, Elephant, Baboon, Monkeys, Buffalo, Ostrich, Mongoose, Hyenas, Rhinoceros, Cheetah, Leopard, Hippodrome, Crocodile, Hartebeest (antelope), Topi, Thomson Gazelle, Grant Gazelle, Orribi, Cobra snake, Secretary Bird, Flamingo, Vultures, lizard, etc

Seeing so much of Japan was amazing. We loved the excursions but also the flexibility to explore on our own. Our highlight was the Geisha experience in Kyoto. Kentaro, our guide and Aizawa, our bus driver were exceptional. They went out of their way to be helpful, offer suggestions and make the trip an amazing experience.

This was our first time booking with trip a deal and it won't be our last. Everything was organised from flights,accommodation and some meals provided too. Our tour guides were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We were on the go non stop seeing so many places and things in these spectacular cities. The hotels were of a high quality and on our down days we could do extra activities or lay low. The choice was ours without any pressure. It also helped that we travelled with a amazing group of people. If you want a hassle free holiday where it is all organised for you, i highly recommend booking via trip a deal. You wont be disappointed. Thankyou

We absolutely loved our time in Japan. This is our second Trip a deal and it did not disappoint. The itinerary was excellent. (we saw and did SO much). Our tour guide Kentaro was outstanding. So knowledgeable, fun, kind, passionate, thoughtful and positive. He ensured we all had a great time and kept up his energy and enthusiasm throughout the trip. He was skilled at managing 40 people, giving clear information regarding timing, meeting spots and accomodating group and individual needs. Where required, he adjusted timing and the order of the day's activities to ensure we had the best possible experience. He was very generous with his time when sharing extra tips about places to eat, shops to purchase special items and local information at each destination. He clearly wanted to ensure that everyone had the best possible experience. At each destination he shared the local foods to try and what was a speciality in each place. He also gave recommendations for eating and shopping. The extra optional activities were fantastic and gave everyone the option of doing their own thing or joining a tour. We could contact him at any time, with questions, help with any concerns or recommendations for eating and shopping. The bus driver Aizawa was amazing. He was an excellent driver and we could see that he was clearly experienced as he navigated a range of traffic conditions. He was always mindful of rest/bathroom and eating stops and worked with Kentaro on the best places to have breaks along the way. We were on time for all activities due to his attention to time, the road and traffic conditions. We felt safe at all times. He navigating busy traffic and mountain areas ensuring a smooth ride at all times. (He even made a map of our journey with details of all the distances, places we visited and significant landmarks. (A special keep sake) Highlights of the holiday were vast. We loved the fast paced Tokyo and Osaka. The lights, busy intersections, endless shops and eating places were incredible. Kyoto station was a must! An unexpected surprise and a WOW factor! We loved Hiroshima. Such a moving experience visiting the peace park and museum. Mt Fuji and Mt Aso were really memorable too. The bullet train was very exciting! Loved that experience. We visited a number of castles and shrines and they were all interesting and memorable for different reasons. The rich history, beauty and cultural significance was evident and special experience. The thousand tori gates at Kyoto was very beautiful and a special place for photos. Kyoto by the Sea (optional tour day) was great. We loved the cable cars and the boat experience feeding the seagulls and eagles was unexpected and a real highlight. We also really enjoyed the optional Maiko dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and having the opportunity to spend time with a Maiko and ask her questions was very special. We even had the opportunity to play a traditional game with her. We LOVED the food! So many different things to try. The ramen is a must! I think we ate gyoza every day and the okonomiyaki in Osaka and Hiroshima were so delicious too. Japan gave us so many delicious options for food. We did not look to eat other cuisines as there was always something new to try. The only change I would suggest is a minimum of two nights at Osaka. I definitely could have had another whole day there. We will definitely return to Japan and after going on this tour feel confident that we could navigate this amazing country ourselves. We would spend more time in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima. We saw a lot, but know there is so much more to see. Next time . . .

The trip was excellent overall and very well organised - from meeting us the first time to dropping us off at the airport for our flight home. We had the best driver Aizawa and guide Kentaro. Everything ran smoothly with their guidance and we felt safe and well supported. We had enough time exploring places ourselves. Accommodation and breakfasts were overall very good. Can’t fault anything and we would recommend this trip to everyone. Thanks again Kentaro and Aizawa - amazing effort from you both. Happy customers Dirk and Elsa

Halong Bay experience was out of this world, the junk boat accommodation, meals, staff, walking through a cave, row boat through a cave, climbing steep steps to a lookout, onboard entertainment, morning t’ai chi on the deck, a highlight of the adventure.

Loved Korea we had the best tour guide Jun so he could not do more for all of us the tour was excellent glad I had this adventure would recommend to all my friends

I loved the small group, I couldn't have asked for better travel buddies. All of the local guides were very helpful, informative and professional. We had some tricky weather to negotiate, and our guide sorted everything out efficiently. I added the Everest flight and am very glad I did- spectacular. The tour was very diverse and a great introduction to Nepal.

every destination visited had its own highlights that we discovered. The tours offered were also great.

We absolutely loved our tour guide. Jose was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and really made our trip outstanding. Trip a deal had people meet us at each stage of our journey to help ensure we checked into our flights correctly and easily. The Inca trail was amazing and the food was second to none. We felt spoilt. Our hotel accommodation was always of a high standard also. I would definitely recommend this trip.

We had a lovely trip. The group we had made the trip even better but Thanasis our guide was by far the best. He gave us local recommendations, he made the trip so easy any questions we had, he answered straight away and if he didn’t know he would find out and get back to us so quickly.

Great holiday with lots of siteseeing and visiting incredible places. Great wall for the highlight

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Provided a good overview of South Korea.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All fantastic!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everything was well organized, with the best guides

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This tour covered a lot of ground from the Warriors, Forbidden City, Shanghai's skyscrapers, Yangtze River Cruise was amazing the ship & staff great. So many interesting sights & experiences. A good sized group of friendly Aussies from Melbourne, Tassie & Adelaide. Our Tour guides were so important to navigate us through some language issues, but locals were happy to meet us. Countryside is amazing blend of old & new from Bullocks in the rivers to Bullet Trains speeding past. Cityscapes to countryside from the comfort of travelling at 245kph+ on Bullet Trains.

The trip was very well organised, we had an amazing guide and everything went according to the schedule. There were no hidden costs as all additional events were clearly identified prior to departure from Australia. There were many highlights including the overnight cruise on Howlong Bay and the 3 days in Minh Binh.

The itinerary was well-paced, comprehensive (we saw all the key sites in each stop), and the tour guides were all fantastic! Accommodation was also very good

This was my first trip with TripaDeal and was very happy with the organisation of flights, hotels etc. The best thing is that it was all done for me:)

I loved my first Trip a Deal Adventure. Having travelled extensively around South East Asia, I can say that Hayashi is the best tour guide I have encountered in 20 years! 5 stars to him for his excellent english, knowledge of the history of Japan, easy going manner and cultural tips. I was happy with seeing so much of the countryside as well as cities, but would have liked another day in Hiroshima, as it was hard to read and absorb much at the crowded museum. A brilliant idea to fly into Tokyo and out of Fukuoka, as it saved time doubling back, and we were able to see many smaller towns. The modular bathrooms were too small for europeans and Australians, but everything was squeaky clean. The Japanese were unfailingly polite and respectful; our country has much to learn from them. I particularly enjoyed the fascinating wasabi farm/business, the Hells of Beppu (loved the footbath in the geothermal hot springs) and the Aso Volcanic museum in the giant crater at Kyushu towards the end of our trip. Congratulations on a varied and well planned itinerary. Susan Henderson.

First trip a deal I’ve done that was actually a small group. The previous 2 were 35 plus. The guides were good, as were the group we were with. The North of Vietnam is awesome, highly recommend this itinerary.

We love China we got to see so much on this trip the culture the history the people the food it was amazing

The trip was well organized, great coaches with plenty of room. Our guide, driver and helper were terrific, our guide Anil was very knowledgeable and gave us a good insight to everywhere we visited, nothing was too rushed. Hotels we’re good with good food options.. The size of the group was great. Very enjoyable holiday will definitely use your company again.

Brendan our guide was amazing! All places we visited were really interesting and enjoyable. Vegetarian meals were really good, the family were over the bones in chicken but realise this is the way they serve, maybe a little more variety too meals, apart from chicken and rice and sweet and sour fish! We loved seeing the animals living freely in jungle! Overall a great experience for the family!

Our guide Pham Zoom was a fantastic source of information. He provided so much history, humility and humour to our trip. The skill of our bus driver Mr Truong was fantastic, we never felt unsafe on the roads. What a legend. One of my highlights was the time spent in Hanoi. What a crazy, wonderful city. And the people of Vietnam are just so lovely, even wth the language barrier they went out of their way to welcome us. The countryside was beautiful and our swim at the waterfall delightful. Our fellow passengers on the tour also helped us enjoy the tour.Overall there were many highlights and I look forward to returning.

It was great experience for us given the first time we visited these three places. The highlights for us is the Taj Mahal which was stunning and the Maldives where we upgraded to the over the water villa which we greatly enjoyed. Both guides for Indi and Sri Lanka were knowledgeable and helpful. The people in our group was great and we got on really well and that also made the trip more enjoyable.

We had an amazing tour of these 3 incredible countries. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, our group of 24 were fantastic we all got on well. Almedin (Meme) our tour guide was wonderful, always obliging, extremely knowledgeable and a genuinely sincere person. He helped make it a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the beauty and culture of the Balkans!

I loved the Borneo Nature Park (2) accomodation and jungle cruise - the amount of wildlife was incredible. Brendan Miles our guide for the entire trip was incredible and I think he is the best guide I have had for any trip I have ever had. His knowledge of wildlife and the history of Borneo was extensive and his caring and kind demeanour with a great sense of humour made the journey fun and safe. He also went the extra mile for me by retrieving a lens cap I had dropped in the Bat Cave which was above and beyond anything I expected of him. I can't recommend him enough.

Three hotels in India was very good n felt so comfortable..Tagimahal was very impressive n Amber fort Agra fort were also great to see. The guide was so kind n professional in history. The transport time between the cities was so long 5-6 hours by bus though we understand traffic n road condition in India.

We loved knowing that all accommodation was organised and that we would be picked up from the airport. Our tour guide was there and organised our transport to our hotel. Most of the accommodation was great and all the organised lunches and dinners were awesome. Our timetable worked really well with us able to do all activities bar one due to flooding. I did feel we sent a lot of time in the coach, but I’m a motion sickness sufferer so I probably noticed it more than others. The whole trip was great, we really enjoyed it.

Loved our first day swim on the Emerald Coast Sardinia. What a lovely relaxing start after the long flight Sardinia surprised me. Enjoyed Olbia and the Shepherds Lunch was also a highlight The food and wine was excellent Now have a new favourite tipple -Vermentino Our guide Sylvia was so knowledgeable and showed so much passion and love for her country

Absolutely amazing! I was emotionally overwhelmed by India- it was an experience of a lifetime I will never forget. The sights, the smells & the guide Vineet were incredible! I still shed tears of emotion when reminiscing the fabulous visit to chanting & singing in the Sikh temple after the visit to the wonderful flower market. And being privileged to see the way they feed the people. I was speechless & so emotional at the Taj Mahal - magnificent! The accommodation was all brilliant & all day trips were amazing - so much put into such a short stay. Well done! Sri Lanka a complete contrast but just as wonderful. Especially the safari & seeing the love given to the elephants at the orphanage.I was in heaven at Sigiriya village & never thought I’d be a tea picker!! 😆 TAD you are great!

Loved the whole holiday to Vietnam & enjoyed the time with our fabulous guide & new friends we have made. Hanoi was a busy & great city to wander & explore.

The trip was so well organised with an excellent guide,driver and transport. Hans was informative, respectful and at times humorous and our driver was admired by all on tour. Our night at the mercure hotel and onsen experience so important a japan experience.
