I find Bookmundi a trustworthy company - they have kept my deposit as travel credit since my trip was cancelled due to Covid more than 5 years ago - I'll be using this credit for a trip this year. I'd like to say a big 'Thank You' to Peter Adley for his patience and professionalism in helping me with booking a new tour.
