Reviews from travellers on this tour

Mrs Grace  

Full on and enjoyable

The tour was full on and enjoyable. The tour guide

The tour was full on and enjoyable. The tour guides in the triangle and Goa were first-rate. The hotels were very good and got better. We had help all along the way. Our only concern was the flights. With BA we could only print off the boarding passes 24 hours before the journey, at Goa that proved a little difficult.The internal flight tickets and their issue almost caused us a problem. We found we were a few kilos over and had to pay on the out flight, and we attempted to pay upfront from the Resort Rio. Had the tickets been with us at the outset we could have upgraded our luggage capacity in good time. Can we thank you for allowing this holiday to go ahead. It was a special 50 years celebration, and you allowed us to complete it, thank you again.
