What travelers are saying

"We had traveled with Ritz Tours for UAE/Dubai and Thailand (2/2023) and Brazil and Peru (8/2023) and many trips to various parts of China for the past several years. We enjoyed our trip to Eastern Europe coving six countries in May 2024. We are very please with our Tour Guide Mr. Wei Chen. Our original flight was delayed and cancelled eventually. We arrived at the destination about four hours late with delayed luggage. Our Tour Guide gave us instructions, text messages, and helped us join the whole group ASAP. That was much appreciated. He took excellent notes, gave us advance notices, and and arranged our visits to different palaces and castles with great details and "precise" timing. Besides showing us three movies on the bus related to our trip, he also offered a brief review of the countries and cities, and told interesting stories with a great sense of humor. We have booked another trip to Turkey in the near future. Thanks! T&T"

What travelers are saying

"This was the first organized tour my husband and I have ever joined, so we were not sure what to expect , but it turned out to be the best vacation we've ever had. The scenery and food were amazing. We stayed in beautiful hotels. Most of the riding was on paved bike paths so we hardly ever had to deal with car traffic. Our leaders, Andrea and Martin, were funny, informative , and so helpful. We are already planning to go back to Italy with VBT this summer."

What travelers are saying

"I've travelled with Intrepid in Vietnam, Morocco, Nepal and Egypt and had a brilliant time every time. The experience is better than most tours as you are in a small group that goes a bit more 'off the beaten track', and you don't get taken to endless shopping opportunites (i.e. a cousin's carpet shop). They also have higher ethics than most travel companies, they contribute to local charities and they avoid animal use (donkeys etc) where possible. The tour leaders we have had have all been wonderful, knowledgable and relaxed, with good english."

What travelers are saying

"Normally, I don't feel like writing reviews, but I felt compelled to do it for Athens Insiders. I made the decision to travel to Athens in the summer of 2012 in order to avoid the commotion that was predicted to result from the Queen's jubilee. As usual, my work kept me busy right up to the last minute, so I ran out of time to do anything fun for my week-long trip. I learned about this young group of tour guides for Athens and its vicinity from a friend. I had a wonderful experience. I got in touch with Daphne, who gave me email recommendations for Athens attractions to see, inquired about my preferences for local cuisine, and then devised an itinerary for my trip. In addition to visiting the typical suspects in Athens (Acropolis, etc.), I also chose to travel to Delhi and spend a night at a campground there. And I had a great time, honestly. We visited the attractions when there were few visitors and spent the busiest times outside of Athens rather than being herded around like cattle. I was taken to incredible tiny eateries (the well-known tavernas), marketplaces, and other regional shops."
