West Africa Local culture Trips

A superb trip giving an excellent insight into life in Mongolia. Truly unique experience that I thoroughly recommend. Wonderful country to visit offering expansive and diverse landscapes and a truly hospitable people. Tour leader was at all times superb in attending to our needs and requests. Thoroughly enjoyable and superb experience all round.

Tour manager was one of the best I've ever had. Please read your documents, especially about tipping and be prepared to tip in zlotys for local guides. The schedule was very busy if you did all of the excursions. Tour manager is pretty good at selling you on them, but all are not for everyone. The ones with dinner or lunch included were great, and the food was terrific! The tour of the Jewish and Communist quarters included a very long, loud harangue about Soviet Communism, was not worth it. The rest were great. They do involve a lot of walking, and a lot of stairs (down) in the salt mine. The Auschwitz and salt mine tours are stacked -- there are groups in front of and in back of you, so you really have to keep up. I enjoyed the tour very much and would recommend it for anyone interested in Poland during and since WWII.

It was a fabulous tour covering such a variety of places and events while also providing a few 2 or 3 night stays, meaning there were less days that required us to pack and move hotels.

This trip was so much better than I expected. This was my first “ bus tour” and I can’t say enough about how well organized and enjoyable it was. Our guide, was absolutely amazing. She not only was very knowledgeable and full of history and facts, she was fun and planned amazing outings. I would definitely take a Trafalgar tour again! Looking forward to it!

I didn't know quite what to expect on this tour of The Baltics but it was a truly memorable trip. A huge thankyou goes to our guide, Simona, who went above and beyond any ordinary guide duties. She delved into the history of each country with joy and enthusiasm. She looked after us always ensuring that we were safe and knew exactly what we were doing. Our accommodation was excellent throughout and the pace of the tour was just right. This tour comes highly recomeended.

Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Some of the ger camps were better than others. Didn’t like the really big, busy ones as they didn’t give the feel of really being away from it all. Understandably, some of the journeys were long but the days were broken up well by comfort/coffee/lunch stops/visits etc and I have to say our 4 drivers were magnificent. Our tour leader needed to be a bit more organised and we had to keep prompting him to be more proactive in keeping us updated and checking that the whole group were still together in busy areas. Not easy, I know, keeping a group of 15 people organised! However, he was a very pleasant and likeable chap.
