This was a great Trip fulfilled all expectations

This was a trip to Guinea Bissau little travelled to by foreign tourists. It was a well balanced itinerary taking in the culture, architecture, history customs and wildlife on the Bajos islands. Our guide Augusto was wonderful and brought his country to life by his expert knowledge. The drivers and boatmen were friendly and helpfu. Guinea Bissau is a poor country so it was not for the traveller who expected western standards. However, this was ...

This was a trip to Guinea Bissau little travelled to by foreign tourists. It was a well balanced itinerary taking in the culture, architecture, history customs and wildlife on the Bajos islands. Our guide Augusto was wonderful and brought his country to life by his expert knowledge. The drivers and boatmen were friendly and helpfu. Guinea Bissau is a poor country so it was not for the traveller who expected western standards. However, this was more than made up for by what we saw. By and large the food was excellent and the rooms were comfortable and most of all the warm heart of Africa was everywhere. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has the patience to put up with occasional delays, (we had none) or luxury

This has been mostly covered above. suffice it to say that everthing was very well organised with a comfortable mini bus and privately managed speed boats.

Myanmar is a wonderful destination for culture, scenery, cycling, trekking, visiting local villages and tribes and the people

Great trip with a good mix of activity - cycling and trekking. Enjoyed visits to local villages and would advocate homestays as a great way to get a feel for village life. Lots of culture and obviously the politics are interesting at the moment. Interesting to see the colonial heritage and its legacy to the country. Elephant conservation camp is a great idea which we hope is copied across the country where feasible. Myanmar still has the feel ...

Elephant conservation camp is a great idea which we hope is copied across the country where feasible. Myanmar still has the feel of the Far east before too much of the west has intruded. Would love to re visit the country

Very happy with their handling of our initial enquiry and the translation of our requirements for our trip in to the itinerary. If anything the reality of the trip was better than the written version!!

Fascinating insight into a wonderful country.

Desperately poor - one of the poorest country's I have experienced but we were able to get a very good idea of how the country is, and of its flora and fauna. To see all this we did have to cover vast distances but that was the nature of the trip and was well worth every minute and money spent.

Amazing

The trip covered a variety of places within Myanmar. The group was able to experience the historical sites, beautiful scenery and the most hospitable/ friendly people living there. It was great to also be able to participate in cycling, trekking and canoeing . A special treat was feeding and bathing the elephants and seeing them so well cared for in their retirement. Wonderful to stay overnight with the hill tribes and experience their way ...

It was great to also be able to participate in cycling, trekking and canoeing . A special treat was feeding and bathing the elephants and seeing them so well cared for in their retirement. Wonderful to stay overnight with the hill tribes and experience their way of life. Amazing sunsets . Splendid temples and stupas . Beautiful people. Crazy markets . Delicious food . All enjoyable. Look forward to returning there!

Far exceeded my expectations

A very professional company and a good itinerary allowing me to see a great deal of a fantastic country with excellent local guides. I would highly recommend both the destination and the tour operator.

Remote Madagascar adventure

Well organised and dedicated tour leader and drivers, fascinating country and people, but the 'pain for gain' ratio was a little on the high side

a really dedicated and knowledgeable tour leader and excellent drivers.The itinerary was changed and some of the bus journeys were too long

Undiscovered Destinations responded to this review on 26 Oct 2015:

Thank you for your feedback and comments. This trip was affected by some schedule changes from Air Madagascar which meant long drives on two days in a row, something that we try and avoid.
