The best experience of my life by a long way! Heart, S and Tony were all fantastic and helped make the trip a one in a life time opportunity. Seeing Thailand through their eyes and visiting places I would never have considered on my own showed me another side to the country! Would 100% recommend this to anyone considering solo travel and can't wait to book again. The people you meet, including the guides, become friends for life and I can't thank you enough!!

Amazing trip to South Africa 🇿🇦 with our even more amazing tour guide Liezl. This trip has been the perfect mix of culture, excitement, laughter and new experiences! I loved and will never forget the safaris! There is an option in Hlane Royal National Park to do a Rhino walk and I would 100% recommend! You get out the jeep and walk up close, definitely do it!!! And our group leader sets a very high standard. Liezl is kind, extremely caring, funny, organised and will do anything for her guests!! You need batteries, Liezl literally ran to get them for me!! You not happy with something, Liezl will take care of it!! Liezl will make sure you have the best trip ever but she sets the bar high now for other guides! Thankyou Liezl for everything, keep being you and never change!! Would 100% recommend this trip! You will not regret it and will make memories for a lifetime!!

I would recommend this tour (Vietnam) to anyone. Huy/Jackie is an excellent tour guide. The tour was really well organised with a great mix of activities. Huy loves his country and showing it to tourists.

It's not a history tour but Huy is also very knowledgeable about Vietnamese history. He was able to answer any questions that the group had.

The tour takes you down through Vietnam and moves fast but not too fast that you can't relax and enjoy it.

Thanks Huy for all the memories. Your country is amazing and I'll definitely come back.

*Just a heads up the cost of the trip is not all inclusive. There are add-ons along the way and you will need spending money to cover roughly two meals a day. You may need roughly an additional €250 spending money and another €150 to cover optional trips.*

A female volunteer teaches a group of children in a bright classroom in Bali.Indonesia

Meeting and getting to know all the other volunteers from over the world and getting to teach the grade 5s was my favorite moment. The impact my volunteering trip had on me was meeting the locals in Bali and learning about their culture and customs. Everyone is extremely welcoming and open to getting to know each other.

Just completed the 17 day adventure tour around NZ. It was amazing, I had the best time and met some lovely people along the way and made some lifelong friends. Selina, our travel leader, was amazing. She was so bubbly and energetic and really bought immense joy to the group. She worked really hard to ensure everything was planned and sorted for us to enjoy our days smoothly and thought of such fun ideas for the evenings. I feel like I’ve found a true friend in her, and was really good at including everyone in, ensuring nobody was left out. This whole adventure has been nothing but incredible and I will really miss it a lot, and all the people. Thank you.
