Great Trip!
This tour ticked all the boxes and really felt like the trip of a lifetime. Egypt was better than I imagined and Jordan was amazing. Made new friends along the way too, which was great!
Amazing adventure
If you want to see the real Africa, then this is the way to do it. Local guides and drivers were fantastic, animals were incredible and it’s a seriously amazing experience!

I wanted to thank you for all your help with my Cuba trip and for staying in touch throughout the whole process. Your efforts were greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Best cruise ever!
What an awesome trip! We’d recommend this Antarctica cruise to anyone. It’s such a relaxing way to travel and when you add up all the inclusions we were very happy with the value.
Best holiday!
We will definitely be going back to Hawaii. It was so much fun and we loved staying at the Queen Kapiolani Hotel, great location. Big thanks for your recommendations and great deal.
