The itinerary was spot on, giving us the chance to see the best of Turkey. Our guide, Mehmet, was really knowledgeable and engaging, while Ahmet, our driver, was always reliable. The hotels were very comfortable, and the traditional Turkish meals were a treat. I'd highly recommend Eskapas Travel!
Ramez is a really nice and kind person. He is really knowledgeable of the history of Egypt. We went to all of the most important sites and he explained all their history. The drivers and the security are great. We were made to feel safe and cared for. Ramez took into consideration our needs and made sure they were met. We had a lot of fun, and we were left with amazing knowledge about Ancient Egypt. I will probably recommend this tour and our guide to my friends and family.
This tour involved many great walks to experience the spectacular scenery, flora and fauna of New Zealand. Our minibus was comfortable for travelling in but it was also fun to use various types of water transportation. Our guide, Robbie, did a wonderful job of driving and guiding. He was always energetic, cheerful, patient and attentive to any needs. My fellow travellers were fun and supportive also! A great trip!

The transport and most accommodations were outstanding. The guides were all EXCELLENT, especially Jhon Chales, who bent over backwards to help all of us while dealing with an extremely demanding and unreasonable person in our group.
Excellent trip covering a wonderful variety of Ancient archaeological sites in Athens and the Pelopponese.
Good hotels throughout, friendly and competent guide and driver.
The tour took me and my son through the highlights of Egypt, with something new and exciting everyday. It was well organised. Our time on the Royal Viking boat was amazing, we had the same guide for 4 days. Emad was not only was he a wealth of knowledge concerning Ancient and modern Egypt, but he looked after us like family. The itinerary was great, but Emad made sure the trip was incredible, helping us in all aspects of travel and in everything Egyptian. He was generous and caring. Thank you!
Amazing experience. The country is beautiful, the program balances activities and free time, and shows you many less touristy aspects. Being in the crater of an active volcano and surfing on Red Island was incredible. And we had the best guide in the world. Thank you very much Gede!
I highly recommend this local travel specialist! We had a wonderful experience. Thinley was very accommodating to our needs- even last minute changes. Our guide, Lhab, was very knowledgeable and he and our drivers were delightful to spend time with. I cannot say enough good things.
Journeys: Iconic Thailand was a fabulous experience!!! We had the most wonderful tour guide (shout out to Natthanan Chai Yenklom--the very best!!!!) who looked after every detail and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for each person on the trip. I loved the varied activities--the home visit and cooking class in Chiang Mai; Ko Klang Island and Hong Island in Southern Thailand; and the amazing temples in Bangkok were particular highlights for me on the trip. I would do another National Geographic Journeys/G Adventures tour in the future!
