Eastern Europe River cruise Trips

was an exceptionally amazing guide. He was kind, generous, caring, insightful, well-informed, incredibly well-organized, and a phenomenal resource throughout our trip and time together. He truly made the trip a very special experience for us. Unfortunately, there was one guest on the tour who was incredibly unpleasant in every respect and was particularly abusive to Viet. He dealt with that person as a true professional and as well as any human being possibly could (and certainly much better than I would / could). In summary, the trip was awesome and the company did a great job adjusting the itinerary in reaction to a severe typhoon that hit the center of Vietnam while we were there. I would gladly travel again with Luxury Gold, and in particular I would readily welcome the chance to again have as a guide in the future.

Loved every minute of our bike/barge of Provence. Great crew, we were well looked after and our guide Micala was very patient and took us on some beautiful rides. Highly recommend!

First, I was extremely pleased by the Local guides. They were upfront and clear about the whole process beginning with travel itinerary, help with the visa process, travel costs and so on. The agents were cordial, and always responded promptly during the pre travel phase of the journey. Once our tour started, I was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm of the guides to show everything possible at different sites. The guides as well as the driver were very friendly and helpful. The organization of the itinerary and the logistics were very well planned. All hotels, with the exceptionption of one, were very good. The only shortcoming that I can think of, was the food that was local thoroughout the journey. It lacked variety and there was no other option. However, this is not the fault of the travel agency since all restaurants served only local food. Overall, I can summarize that I had a great experience. The trip was very well planned, organized and successfully completed.

The organisation of our tour by Mandy Zhu was perfect. We were looked after throughout every section of the tour, met at destinations by very knowledgeable and friendly guides, who all spoke very good English, and driven in comfort by competent drivers. The whole team made us feel we were in good hands, and helped us learn and understand the history of the many places we visited. I would highly recommend Heziqing to anyone planning a customised tour through China. They were flexible to our requirements, and gave us good advice throughout.

We loved the bike/barge trip. The countryside in the south of France was beautiful. The crew and guide - Hugo were very helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The cabins are not big (an understatement) but they were sufficient as you are actually out all day. The food was better than we expected. My suggestions to make it better: The cycling on the first day around Avignon is too long, on the first day it could be 2 hours shorter. The ride through the Camargue to meet the boat further down river was unnecessary. We could have stayed on the boat and had a bit more of a relax after a 65km ride the day before. We dont agree with the gratuity at the end of the trip. Why is an additional payment required for them doing their job (dont get me wrong , i thought all the crew were brilliant, i just dont agree with gratuities)

I can't speak highly enough of the crew. They created a thoroughly enjoyable experience and genuinely cared about those of us travelling on board. I loved everything about the trip. There was plenty of activity to be had or rest if that was what was needed. Boating life was wonderful and of course the ultimate highlight the 3 Lochs - Ness, Oich and Lochy and the majestic environment which we had the absolute pleasure of walking with an experienced guide. Walking the length of The Great Glen Way was an option rather than a must. I took the option of resting or walking a shorter distance when needed. Scotland you certainly made my heart sing. Huge thanks and appreciation to the crew.
