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!!!!

I honestly couldn’t recommend the Oz East Coast Adventure tour enough! It’s 28 days and it was such an amazing way to experience the East Coast of Australia, and I’ve made some incredible memories along the way. I travelled solo for the first time which was a bit daunting but I quickly settled in and realised most of the group of 20 were also solo travellers! We did also have 4 couples on the tour. A huge part of what made the experience so special was our tour leader, Tess. From day one, she made everyone feel so welcome, relaxed and included. She’s incredibly organised, knowledgeable and approachable, but also made the whole group feel like friends rather than just people on a tour. Tess genuinely went above and beyond for us. When I needed to visit a chemist during the trip, she actually stayed with me and made sure I was okay — such a small thing, but it meant a lot to me and really showed how much she cared about everyone in the group. By the end of the tour, I genuinely felt like I’d made a friend in Tess, rather than simply having had a tour leader. I’m so grateful for all the memories, laughs and experiences, and you should definitely book this trip if you're sitting on the fence.

Just back from the February tour had an amazing trip! This trip is such a great way to get an authentic taste of Thailand. You get to see sooo much of Thailand and the 3weeks are busy! I struggle to pick a favourite memory I guess erawan waterfalls, baby tiger and island hopping jump out. Nearly forgot the day at the elephant sanctuary #nochainsjustlove. Heart the tour guide is exceptional. He ensures everyone is getting what they want out of the holiday. As the oldest in the group I didn't wanna go out and go wild every night which wasn't a problem at all. This holiday literally has everything for couples, granny's like me (nickname from group), young singles to people wanting to experience the culture Thailand has to offer. Heart ensured although everyone came to Thailand for different reasons everyone left with a unique and different experience. Thank you heart. Anyone who isn't sure do book you won't regret it!!!!

India and Nepal are beautiful countries! There is so much to see and explore. It was an amazing trip and I felt in love with the culture of India and the beautiful mountains in Nepal!
