Sri Lanka Classic Tour by BigIan279, 9 Jan 2018
Holiday Rating:

A lot of Good and a little Bad

During our two week holiday we stayed in 5 different locations four of which ranged from the fantastic to the very good, sadly one was clean but very basic and extremely difficult to get to. Although we had been to Sri Lanka before and traveled extensively, the car journeys this time seemed much longer and uncomfortable. But that is the price you pay for some of the most stunning scenery I have ever witnessed from Mountains to Jungle to Seashore ...

During our two week holiday we stayed in 5 different locations four of which ranged from the fantastic to the very good, sadly one was clean but very basic and extremely difficult to get to. Although we had been to Sri Lanka before and traveled extensively, the car journeys this time seemed much longer and uncomfortable. But that is the price you pay for some of the most stunning scenery I have ever witnessed from Mountains to Jungle to Seashore we saw the lot. Great Holiday.

Rating for tour operator:

Very efficient and seemed to have deep knowledge of Sri Lanka. Very communicative, I thought they'd understood our requirements, which in the main they did, but was let down on a few things.

Thank you for your feedback. I am delighted you had a lovely time but at the same time wish we had opted for a different accommodation style to the one guesthouse you have mentioned. I also wish I had been able to reduce journey times or try to tweak things so your journeys were more manageable but you are right sometimes these lovely places are very difficult to access. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Thank you and I apologise for the double beds when twin beds were requested. I had included this prerequisite when confirming the rooms initially but this doesn't seem to have been acknowledged by the hotels.

Laos in Luxury: Rural Focus by Mr RJS, 2 Jan 2018
Holiday Rating:

Lovely locals, stunning scenery and wonderful guides - superb itinerary.

We packed an enormous amount into a 12 night stay with a fabulous itinerary that included simply wonderful sites and experiences. We are a family of 4 with two children aged 12 and 10. The guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable with comfy cars and safe drivers. We questioned tours starting at 4.30am and 5am but were thrilled to be included in the offering of ‘alms’ to the Monks in Luang Prabang and watch the sunrise over the Mekong River ...

We packed an enormous amount into a 12 night stay with a fabulous itinerary that included simply wonderful sites and experiences. We are a family of 4 with two children aged 12 and 10. The guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable with comfy cars and safe drivers. We questioned tours starting at 4.30am and 5am but were thrilled to be included in the offering of ‘alms’ to the Monks in Luang Prabang and watch the sunrise over the Mekong River and Champasak from Wat Phou. Our guides arranged for us to meet locals in their houses and dine at very local ‘restaurants’. Lots of people rave about Luang Prabang and we will as well. Thank you to the lovely people of Laos with their gorgeous smiles, peaceful ways and terrific hospitality.

Delia at Fleewinter has designed or worked with her colleagues for five tours for us over the last couple of years which speaks for itself. Six locations in 12 days, we covered a lot and went from a temple visit to the airport so as not to waste a second. As the tours are tailor made with private guides you can tweak the itinerary as you go so although you do so much it is at your own speed which is fabulous.

Vietnam Culture & Coast: 2 Weeks by Jules , 1 Jan 2018

Awesome Vietnam!

We've had the most awesome two weeks travelling around Vietnam. Fleewinter provided us with the most incredible holiday. Our itinerary was perfect and covered a bit of everything you could possibly wish for in a holiday, including a few days to chill on a beach. The guides were fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, patient and helped bring us very close to the culture of a beautiful country.

Fleewinter were fantastic. Delia was incredibly helpful and her knowledge of Vietnam superb. Nothing was too much trouble and the fabulous organisation meant we could enjoy our holiday without a single worry as everything was organised so brilliantly. Fleewinter use the Vamoos app which held our full itinerary, maps together with local weather and information it was so easy to use and great to have. We wouldn't hesitate using Fleewinter again or recommending them to friends in the future.

Marrakech Riad Weekend by Brown family , 29 Dec 2017

An amazing family holiday in Morroco

We had a great holiday over Christmas. Stayed in a riad in Marrakesh. Beautiful city. Walked in the Atlas Mountains which was tremendous experience and we bought a rug! Then spent a week in Agadir. Faultless holiday!

Myanmar Highlights by N E Owen, 29 Dec 2017

A fabulous adventure that many of my friends now wish to emulate

The service from Fleewinter enables us to travel from one end of a country to the other, experiencing only the highlights. We are able to work in unison so that I feel that I have 'designed' the holiday myself but in reality the detail and timings that make things happen are all the work of the excellent Fleewinter agents. I would find it very difficult to trust my holiday budget to any other agent in the future. I think this is our fifth ...

Fleewinter were so friendly and excellent at organising each part of our holiday. Nothing was a problem for them and they gave us so much helpful info on what to see, do and where to eat.

One of the best holidays we've ever had

We head home tomorrow after one of the best holidays we have ever had. The island was paradise but what really made it was the choice of hotel. Shanti Maurice fitted us perfectly, the food , the facilities but most importantly the vibe.

The food and dining was first class, some excellent chefs.
