Private tour across the Andes from Bolivia through Chile to Argentina

This adventure was always going to be very full-on, which is how we like our trips. I didn't count on getting bronchitis and ending up in hospital in Chile, however. The itinerary was quickly amended to avoid high altitude destinations as much as possible while still ensuring that we had a chance to enjoy interesting experiences. While obviously sad to have missed some of the original sites, the revised itinerary was the only sensible option ...

While obviously sad to have missed some of the original sites, the revised itinerary was the only sensible option under the circumstances.

Rating for tour operator:

I was extremely impressed how Undiscovered Destinations and their local team handled the situation (me being hospitalised in Chile), taking the stress out of the occasion and smoothing the way, rearranging the itinerary and booking new hotels, translating for me in my interactions with medical staff, and making sure I always had transport on hand, medicines and anything else I might need. Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept in touch with not just each other and me, but also the insurance company. I can't recommend them enough!

Interesting trip to less well know parts of Europe

Undiscovered Destinations: Hidden Europe tour. We toured the main tourist sites of Albania with a short trip into Kosovo and North Macedonia. The scenery in the mountains was superb, especially crossing Koman Lake and in Valbona. We saw some interesting monasteries, Roman ruins and lots of quaint towns.

Another fantastic trip

Great trip to see the sights of Jordan. Although a group tour we ended up being the only travellers so it was a very personal experience. The guide and driver were extremely helpful and accommodating and we were able to make a couple of tweaks to the itinerary to suit our needs and interests.

Visiting the spectacular, but little known archaeological sites of nothern Peru and seeing the stunning scenery of the Cordillera Blanca.

I travelled as a solo traveller with a driver and guide. The trip visited a number of ancient and very impressive pre-Incan archaeological sites and the museums housing the remarkable artefacts found there. We also visited some of the old cities of nothern Peru, such as Cajamarca. One of the high points came near the end, when we spent a day in the peerless mountain scenery of the Cordillera Blanca. It was a very varied and exciting trip.

Undiscovered Destinations does tours that reflect its name. I have travelled with them many times, precisely because their tours are very well conceived to show guests remarkable places that are little known.

Thank you for submitting such positive feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your visit to a lesser known part of Peru. We look forward to welcoming you on another Undiscovered Destinations trip in the future.

East Timor

An insightful and leisurely two-week tour of a remote, tropical island nation, topped by a total solar eclipse experience.

Superb coordination of tricky journeys

We travelled to Geneva by Eurostar and TGV via Paris., in the midst of industrial action across France.

Undiscovered Destinations (Tynemouth Travel) is based in the village of Tynemouth where we live and offers immense travel experience in a friendly and accessible way on our doorstep. They took incredibly good care of us throughout an anxious journey (due to strike) and return.

A fascinating trip in Central Asia

Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations.  The mosques and other buildings along the old Silk Road were spectacular. We learned a lot about the the history of Central Asia. So many civilizations passed through this region.

Oman - Desert to the Coast - Small Group Tour (organised by Undiscovered Destinations)

7 days travelling around the north of Oman with a small group. Muscat, turtles, forts, beautiful whaddi's, dhows, deserts, souks, abandoned villages, a "grand canyon", jaw dropping mosque, sunset cruises. I could go on - just a brilliant country if you fancy an adventurous, well organised trip - heartily recommend the country and the tour operator.
