What travelers are saying

"On the Go Tours has provided my mom and I with an outstanding experience from start to finish. The real star of the show though was our tour guide, Omar! Omar impressed our whole group with his extremely high level of knowledge, attentiveness to the group’s needs, and overall attention to detail. It is apparent that he has built many connections throughout the country and puts a great deal of effort into showing the best of what Morocco has to offer. His passions for history, biology, music, and language specifically shine through. He speaks beautiful English and all the local languages of Berber language, Moroccan Arabic, and French (as well as others such as German!). He loves answering questions and learning more to better his tour guide skill set. On top of all that he has a great sense of humour and is quite the showman when it comes to song and dance! This trip would not have been the same without Omar. 5 stars all the way! Beautiful, culturally enriching experience!"

What travelers are saying

"Oct 2019 - We have just returned from a 26 day 'Wendy Wu - Grand Tour of China' which was absolutely EXCELLENT!!! Our China holiday gave us an insight into a beautiful country, rich in history and tradition. We were extremely impressed with its clean and safe modern cities filled with beautiful helpful people. Our National Guide was Sam Gao who was very professional, his expert knowledge of history and facts on every city and region we visited was interesting and educational. Sam, together with the local guides, made the tour fun and a very enjoyable experience. The many activities, evening shows, meals and hotels were brilliant, and we had so much fun with the other members of our tour group. Thank you Wendy Wu & Sam, this was a fantastic holiday with fond memories that we will remember forever, and we will be recommending this Wendy Wu tour to all our friends. John & Elena"

What travelers are saying

"My husband and I recently booked a holiday via Planet Rail and what a good call that turned out to be. We gave Guy and the team little time to arrange the holiday as it was a fairly last minute decision by us to travel. Planet Rail found the right balance between being very helpful and friendly but also remaining professional. The customer service offered is personal and you definitely feel that it’s important to Planet Rail that they get your holiday right - and for us they most certainly did. Our holiday exceeded our expectations, and I don’t mind admitting that I am not always easy to please. The travel arrangements went without a hitch; the hotels we stayed in were spot on. Locations - breathtakingly beautiful - attention to detail was second to none. It can sometimes be unwise to recommend something as one persons delight is another’s displeasure - but in this instance I fail to see how anyone would not be impressed by the service offered by Planet Rail - I would book with them again in a heartbeat."
