Real traveler feedback from Local culture tours across South East Asia
Edward U. | Traveled in June
It was a perfect balanced tour that exceeded our expectations as we had not experienced a group tour until this one. Our tour director Lisa was excellent keeping the the tour on spot and giving great insight into wherever we traveled. Her communication was instrumental in keeping to tour on time and very enjoyable. From bus driver to local tour experts we appreciated their professionalism and knowledge they conveyed to us. We'd certainly highly recommend this tour for a great experience.

This trip provided a nice blend of celebrating the differences in Baltic states’ culture, the common history they all share, and the welcomed free time for further exploration and/or relaxation. I loved the medieval moments in time, Old Town vibes, and new found respect I developed for the Baltic people. Key highlights included a day visit to the unique Curonian Spit of Lithuania, Saaremaa island in Estonia, and the surprisingly amazing Baltic food!

Six country itinerary was excellent and tour director Greg Redfern was super excellent… trip logistics were so smooth and Greg’s knowledge of history and culture of each country was exceptional.

It would be impossible to have a favorite…. As much as I loved seeing all the old city centers as well as walled cities, cathedrals and palaces, I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know all the other members in our group! Some were from the US and others from Australia and Korea. The dinners where we were all together are some of my favorite memories!

Overall the tour was amazing and seeing Yellowstone with snow was a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour manager Katie kept us informed and provided suggestions and history of the visited areas. We covered alot of area but it didnt feel rushed. Thanks for a memorable tour!

This tour was a great way to experience Ireland at its best. You visit large cities of Dublin and Galway, and beautiful smaller towns such as Waterford, Kilkenny, Limerick and Sligo. The optional experiences were all fully worth the money. Ireland history is featured with visits to the Epic museum and Dunbrody famine ship, and the travel director is an expert in Irish history and culture. The bus was very comfortable, and luggage porterage was handled expertly. Breakfasts were full buffets with hot and cold options. We always had plenty of lunch options and included and optional dinners were very good. We had a full bus (around 45 people) but I feel everyone had a wonderful time and was able to participate in activities they wanted (shopping, quiet time, visiting with others, exploring historical sites, etc.).
