The best experience of my life, couldn’t recommend this holiday more. Our tour guides S and K made everything so much more amazing and never left anyone out. Everything was so organised and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Getting to know and helping the community, as well as experiencing such a unique culture I'd never before seen was my favourite moment. The program had the biggest impact on my view on the world, and just how different some places can be. My advice is definitely volunteer, since you're helping people who need it most, and it's an overall great experience.

All I can say is wow what an unforgettable 3 weeks spent in the most beautiful country. This will forever have a special place in my heart.

Although I travelled with 2 friends it can be quite daunting as a young girl to travel asia but all I can say is I’ve never felt as comfortable and safe. S our tour guide treated us as one of his own and really cared for our safety and well being throughout the entire 3 weeks. S really is a credit to your company and I can honestly say this trip wouldn’t have been the same without him. There really is no way to thank him enough for his witty personality which always made us laugh and for always being so kind hearted.

As well as S we had our two drivers Benz and Kit who without hesitation went above and beyond for us every single day. No matter what you asked of them they always did all they could to help us, as well as their subtle gestures of always watching out to make sure we were safe. S, Benz and Kit are 3 of the most selfless people I have ever come across in my life.

Throughout the 3 weeks of travelling the most scenic places we had such a laugh with all 3 of them and we really were like one big family. I made friends for life and I’m incredibly grateful for this experience. It really is a once in a lifetime trip and it’s quite hard to put into words how amazing it really is !

If your considering a trip like this whether alone or with friends or as a couple I couldn’t recommend this trip enough. I can’t speak for the rest of the tours but the Thailand tour exceeded all my expectations. I loved every minute!

My trip to Mexico was fantastic, a great itinerary that offered such a variety without feeling too busy or too much travel. A shoutout to our superb tour leader Vitor, so full of helpful knowledge and advice and just made our trip so fun. 5 stars all round 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our group leader Andre was amazing! So kind and friendly and made us feel so comfortable throughout the tour! My highlight was the snorkelling on Gili T, the turtles were surreal and the water was so clear, definitely a pinch me moment!

My trip to South Africa was made so much better thanks to Liezl. She has a wonderful way of sharing the history and culture of the area that keeps you engaged the entire time. She is a true professional and just a lovely person to spend the day with. Thank you, Momma!!!!
