This tour was my first one internationally. I loved it. We spent alot of time on the bus and moving from hotel to hotel for 9 days. 1300 miles. It was alot with 46 people in one space. One person came on sick and everyone else got it. Despite that, the excursions were outstanding. The culture is amazing and the weather was phenomenal, which we found out was very unusual.
Totally amazing guide and driver. We had such a great time exploring the beautiful Cape Verde with this tour.
The cooking experience in a traditional home was a wonderful experience.
Our guide spoke awesome English and was so knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Highlights of Sri Lanka Tour, booked through Wendy Wu Tours Australia, and delivered through Aitken Spence Travel Services of Columbo, Sri Lanka. The hotels selected for our accommodation were generally of a high standard with good facilities and diligent staff. The restaurants selected for food provision were excellent and generally provided a great selection of Sri Lankan and European style dishes, catering to the diverse needs of our group. The sites visited, provided a great cross section of the best tourist attractions in Sri Lanka, and satisfied our desire to see what this beautiful destination has to offer. The services provided by our tour guide, Harsha Karunaratne, were of the highest standards. Harsha was very professional, diligent and caring, going far beyond reasonable expectations to ensure that each member of our tour group received the best Sri Lankan experience possible. Harsha's team consisting of Kumara (Security and Valet) and Bundoo (Bus Driver and Porter) were just wonderful. Negotiating Sri Lanka's back roads and busy city roads requires skill and attention to safety at all times, and Bundoo pulled it off brilliantly. Kumara made sure all the guests on the tour stayed safe and provided a great sense of fun and community during our travels. Harsha and his team's attention to detail was fantastic and helped make our stay in Sri Lanka exceptional.

Experience the best of Japan on the "Essential Japan and Hakone End Hiroshima" tour, a 10-day journey from Tokyo to Hiroshima. Seniors will appreciate the gentle pace as the group explores Kyoto, Gora, Kawaguchiko, and several other destinations. This sightseeing tour stands out for its harmonious blend of cultural sites and natural beauty, with all accommodations, transport, and meals included for a worry-free travel experience.
It was comprehensive, enjoyable, educational, exciting, thought-provoking, well managed, comfortable - in other words, everything one could want in a tour.
This tour was a great hybrid between going it completely on our own and a completely regimented tour group experience. Alessandra and the team made all of the hotel, transportation, and tour reservations and we just had to be at the right place at the right time. The events they suggested were great and hit all of the highlights we were interested in and more. There was plenty to do, but also some free time to explore on our own and relax.
Very good. Mongolia, an up and coming destination, is a unique place to see life and people for real. The vast size and openness of the country on display revealing the conditions and resilience of the people to continue traditional ways.
