Undiscovered Destinations Traveller Reviews

This was off the beaten track in a remote and glorious part of the world. The homestays in particular gave a whole different perspective on life in the area. The itinerary encompassed mountains, raging rivers, green valleys, alpine deserts, a life where herdsmen still roam, yak add to the landscape, a chance to spend a night in a simple yurt, plus a bit of comfort in Dushanbe and Bishkek. It kind of gave the feeling of travel as it must have been in the early days. Wonderful!

Living in South Africa, I had never heard of Undiscovered Destinations before. They will figure high on my list in future for unusual destinations .

I did a Pamir Highyway trip with Undiscovered Desinations. Great guides, route with stunning scenary, service, communictions etc. I have travelled extensively for many years and would put the guides in my top 5.

Undiscovered destinations ; helpful with the pre planning,flight recommendations etc; flexible with payments and bookings, reponded to emails within a short period of time.

Belarus, almost all important tourist places are covered. Comfortable trip with helpful driver, guide and good condition of vehicle made it very comfortable and enjoyable.

All querries answered promptly, helpful and very well managed and well planned trips and documents as per schedule.

Home stays in pensione type accommodation as well as hotel accommodation - comfortable and welcoming with great local cuisine visiting places outside the usual tourist route in Transylvania

Undiscovered destinations provide personalised service and have chosen a good local operator

Where to start? An amazing holiday to an amazing country. We did not know what to expect but found a country with a fascinating history, amazing landscapes and welcoming and friendly people. Our guide was superb with a wealth of knowledge and facts. The hotels and homestays exceed all our expectations. A great mix of the highlights and off the beaten track sights made this a holiday that we shall never forget.

Superb knowledge, excellent and helpful staff. Could not have asked for more.

16 day tour of Madagascar. Absolutely excellent guide and all drivers. Possibly slightly over ambitious in sheer distance and time spent travelling in attempt to cram in as much as possible. Very good accommodation, well organised.

Extremely helpful and capable, especially as I decided half way through to go to madagascar instead of ethiopia, they reorganised me cheerfully.

Amazing destination, exceeded all expectations. If you love archaeology this is a must-visit.

Excellent staff in the UK and on the ground in the Sudan. Will definitely be recommending this tour company to others.

A return visit to Uzbekistan but interesting to compare with two other Stan states. Worked well with three sets of guides and drivers but distances travelled by road (poor conditions in Uzbekistan) too long and tiring as were frequent border crossings, on foot. Otherwise an excellent trip, well worth some discomfort. Scenically, historically and culturally a fascinating area, still to emerge from the Russian sphere of influence which has been largely beneficial. A great destination, largely unspoilt with good hotels and very friendly people.

A very helpful and efficient company.

This was a 10 day trip to Haiti, visiting Port-au-Prince, Jacmel, Cap Haitien with thefantastic Citadelle. Haiti is great destination for the experienced traveller. The country has obviously suffered greatly throughout its history and is very poor and the infrastructure basic. But the people are friendly (speaking French helps) and there was no feeling of danger, although being sensible is always recommended. There are hardly any tourists there, the countryside is beautiful and there would be great hikes in the mountains. There are also nice beaches (although not near town centres!) around and also some interesting historical sites, particularly the Citadelle. The food was good, although it is quite expensive.

Undiscovered Destinations organise the bookinga and administration. Everything was handled very professionally, good work. Voyages Lumiere is the local operator in Haiti who run the tour, run by Jacqueline Labrom. The organisiation was generally good (apart from a few hiccups) and the guide also good. There hasn't been a culture of tourism in Haiti for a long time (Labadee excepted), and they a re still finding there feet. My feeling is that VL is probably the best around, they are experienced have the right contacts. Would recommend using them, either as an individual or as a ravel operator.
