Undiscovered Destinations Traveller Reviews

Superb, certainly one of the best travelling experiences we've had over the past decade or so. We learned about 2500 years of Persian culture; we learned what a skewed view of Iran we tend to get from Western politicians and media. We are very impressed with Iranian people.

Everything -- with both Undiscovered Destinations and the local operator they use -- worked like clockwork, and it was great value for money.

Visiting Iran was very special. The people were very welcoming and friendly. There was obviously poverty but no begging. The great sites, Esfahan, Persepolis did not disappoint and wherever we went was interesting. I loved the stark countryside and jagged mountains. A wonderful experience.

The tour was well planned to provide us with a varied programme and we visited a good part of the country. I enjoyed the fact that we travelled only by coach and included was a short stay in a caravanserai. We had a very knowledgable guide/manager who was a delight to travel with.

We traveled to Malawi & Zambia with Undiscovered Destinations & the whole trip was a fabulous experience. We have no negative things to say about this trip just all positive comments. We would go again tomorrow!

Undiscovered destinations. We have been on three trips with this company in the last three years & every trip has exceeded expectations.

Well organised except for the problem with Malaysian Air

Impressed with staff and service

We covered a lot of territory in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, seeing an extraordinary range of mosques, madrassas and mausoleums which had been reclaimed from the ravages of time and invaders. Happily, we also learnt about modern times and experienced it as we moved through the various countries. The accommodation was mid-range as advertised, and the guides were excellent, though one was a bit lack-lustre. The group we travelled with were outstandingly agreeable, and I think we all contributed to each-other's enjoyment and belonging.

All aspects of our contact with them was efficient, and contact was prompt. The lasting issue I have, which nearly spoilt our trip, was the unnecessary difficulty of acquiring and Uzbekistan visa.

Following a race over sand dunes the vehicle crashed some 4 feet directly down; the vehicle was badly damaged and both passengers injured in one vehicle and one of the three passengers in the second vehicle. I spent most of the holiday with an injured back, in pain and with little help or sympathy from the company except from the cook. I'm still in pain some weeks after my return. I was shocked at the supposed environmental responsibility: we had small bottles of water which on one occasion at least were simply buried in a large black sack in the desert.

On return I was virtually called a liar "I do not accept your version of events" and had two very unpleasant letters in response to a complaint. Not a company I'd recommend to anyone.

The trip was outstanding in many ways. One came away having learnt a great deal about Laos and Cambodia and their history. The time spent in the jungle in Laos was amazing and by staying in a homestay one experienced first hand how the Laos/Cambodia people live.

Undiscovered Destinations is a very well run organisation. Any query is answered without delay even when on the trip itself. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone who wants to get off the beaten track and learn about the country they are visiting.

My husband and I travelled to Oman for a small group (8 clients ) cultural 4WD one week adventure starting and ending in Muscat. The itinerary was full with quite a lot of driving. However our guide was really interesting and very knowledgable about the history and customs of Oman so at no times were we bored. We travelled in 2 Land Cruisers that were very comfortable and had ample room for our luggage. We stayed in a variety of local accommodations which were all clean and with ensures. Lunches were prearranged by our guide in local restaurants and were excellent. Overall a great week. We have made new friends and discovered a fascinating country. We would travel with Undiscovered Destinations again and recommend them with our reservation.

Undiscovered Destinations were really good to deal with. One of the men in the office had actually been on the tour we booked so could really advise us. Our vouchers arrived on time, questions on what to pack etc were answered very promptly. The local representative was excellent. We would be hard pressed to find a fault with the holiday and will be booking again with them in the future.

We enjoyed a real taste of Laos and Cambodia, visiting the known tourist sites but also going off the beaten track,gaining a real insight into the people and their local traditions.We felt privileged to be welcomed into their villages, culture, schools and medical centres.

Undiscovered Destinations provided a wonderfully balanced itinerary which enabled us to see and explore the real Laos and Cambodia. The local representatives in each country were excellent.

Our trip started in Mandalay, went by boat to Bagan, car to Inle lake and flights to Ngapali Beach and Yangon. All was organised very well by our tour operator and the trip was vey enjoyable.

Our tour operator was Undiscovered Destinations'. They organised all aspects of the holiday very competently and at a competitive price.
