Wow ! what a week I have just had in Israel on the Biblical Trip. I travelled on my own and joined a group of 11 others who were all lovely and we soon become one big family. Out guide Hilick from Rent a Guide was brilliant, so informative on the history and politics of his country. On this trip I went to places I would not of gone to independently. Highly recommend this trip, now to decide where to next ! will definitely use bookmundi again, so glad you popped up on my google search.

I could describe in detail how magical Peru is. Instead, I can only say, go to Peru, do this tour. We had an amazing time. Trekking the Inca Trail was of course fantastic, but Colca Canyon, Arequipa and Cusco was amazing as well. Great itinerary. Great Guide. Peru is magical.

Our tour in Cambodia was spectacular. We were accompanied by a very knowledgeable tour guide. Expectations were surely met, and exceeded also. Would do it all again. 5 stars.
