    great trip, organisation was good, khadar was wonderful, very informative but fun. He gave us good insight into the ancient and modern world of Jordan, with plenty of free time to explore. Highly recommend.

    Loved my China trip with Tom as tour guide. He can be very eccentric but he's a good guide who knows his way in China (local guide). With him and my group the days I spent in China were really enjoyable and fun! If you have any questions he knows the answers, especially if you got a special diet (vegetarian, vegan, no gluten) he can help communicate to the people there. After the tour I could travel China by myself (Chongqing, Shanghai) without any troubles and I enjoyed the cities and the country too! Be sure to have Alipay activated and a working VPN for China as most apps are blocked like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok too. If you want to know more about China I recommend RedNotes to get in touch with locals and learn more about the culture 🇨🇳❤️

    Amazing tour exploring the sights of India. Would not have been the same without Kush, the amazing tour guide. He was a highlight of the trip and went out of his way to make sure our every need was met.
