What travelers are saying

"I didn’t take this tour exactly, but made some changes based on my schedule and interests and travel dates. It was my first time in Southeast Asia and I was a traveling solo female. Liz my trip consultant and contact person was so helpful and responsive to any and all my concerns and questions. It was a trip of a lifetime. I can not gush enough about the itinerary and experiences. I am completely impressed with is company and this person. Ya ya in Chang Mai and Sam in Bangkok are top notch guides. The diving in Phuket was arranged with Siam diving, a small private boat not an over stuffed crowded one. It felt like we were the only people in the ocean. Goo, GO, GO!!!!"

What travelers are saying

"It was a memorable experience for me as all the guides went out of their way to make sure my experience was enjoyable and comfortable. Tom in Beijing made sure I saw the Quianlong Clock collection at the Imperial Palace museum. This was not part of the original tour. He also took me through the Beijing subway to show me how easy it is to get around. I will keep that in mind when I go back. It was beyond expectations. Thanks Tom. Mervyn in Xi’an made sure I did not miss breakfast and when the flight was delayed took me back to the hotel. I waited at the hotel instead of at the airport. Thanks, Mervyn. Yang shared with me the local food in Yangzhou. Brought me fresh fruit and took me to a local eatery to have the real Guilin rice noodle dish with soy milk. Thank you for sharing as it was meaningful to me. William in Shanghai was very personable and humorous. He was quick to point out the historical significance of the buildings on the Bund. I can’t wait until I can go back and have a closer look at other things now that I have been to the major attractions."

"My first trip to Italy was beyond my expectations. Alessio (Alma Italia Travel) is knowledgeable, accommodating, and his love for his country is apparent in how he guides guests through each exquisite destination. Alessio thoughtfully coordinates and plans out each day and is respectful of the guests requests for adjustments to the agenda or rest time to truly take in the beauty of Italy. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't long to return to Italy and breathe in that Tuscan air, sip on the rich olive oils and bright wines, and watch the sun rise and fall through the hills. I highly recommend booking your trip of a lifetime with Alma Italia. You'll be gifted a true authentic experience!"

What travelers are saying

"Lucy at Exotic Voyages planned the best honeymoon my wife and I could have asked for. She listened to what my wife and I wanted to do, and turned that into an unforgettable 10 day vacation. We went through 4 different itineraries before we landed on the final one. Lucy was always friendly and very quick to answer any questions we had. She took care of every detail, Visas, ground transportation, tours, etc. If you are planning on going to Vietnam, you MUST use Lucy and Exotic Voyages."

What travelers are saying

""Our trip with Greeking Me completely exceeded our expectations. In booking the trip, Nikos was able to to design our trip exactly to our specifications and it truly was just what we had hoped it would be. We had licensed tour guides for our visits to the Acropolis, ancient Corinth, Nafplio and Mycenae. All three were experts in their field and left no questions unanswered. They were friendly, helpful and we enjoyed our time with each of them. We met our tour leader, Vasiliki on our 2nd night and she, and our driver, Alex, would remain with us until we were dropped off at the airport. We could not not have asked for a better team. We became fast friends and shared many great times together. As we hit inclement weather at the end of our trip, Vasiliki revised our itinerary and added activities that she knew we would enjoy. We fell in love with the mountains of the Peloponnese and visited many of the tiny villages high in the mountains. Our driver, Alex, was from one of these villages, Vytina, and he was kind enough to show us his childhood home, took us for a walk through many beautiful streets and we had lunch at one of his favorite taverns. We all took an unplanned hike up the gorge to the Monastery of Prodomos. An exhilarating (and wet) hike uphill through beautiful forests and breathtaking views. Both of these days were a great part of our trip. The food and wine tasting tours were first rate and we enjoyed each one. Our favorite, however, was the time we spent with Dimitrius and his family at their organic farm and vineyard. After a cooking lesson for cheese bread, we drove up to his vineyards to see his crops. We returned back to his home and had a wonderful Greek feast prepared by his wife and daughter. Others “greats” of the tour: Kapsia caves, simply unbelievable Country cooking class at Arcadiani Agrotourism Collective Church of Agia Theodora What we remember most is the bond we formed with Vasiliki and Alex. They made our trip one we will never forget. They were caring, kind, personable and cared about our every need. Obviously we would recommend this trip to anyone. It was our first trip to Greece, but it won’t be our last.""

What travelers are saying

""After being presented different offers in the hotel we decided to book with this company at the recommendation of our receptionist Alex. We were picked up in a brand new minivan and together with 4 others we left for our Transylvania adventure. Soon we realized that we are in for a treat. Our guide Teo was amazing, took great care of us and got us in all the castles where he guided just the 6 of us. We had our own pace and we were never in a hurry. Every detail was checked to perfection and after returning to our hotel, all we can say is Thank you Eastern European Experience. You made this day trip wonderful. We will recommend this tour anytime.""
