Veloso put together a completely tailored holiday for 4 of us. Every element of the itinerary was excellent- hotels, lodges, transfers, flights and domestic operators in Chile.

Comprehensive 36 day tailor made tour of Gujarat & Rajastan

Under permanent sunny skies we explored the forts and palaces of Rajasthan, the temples of Gujarat and learnt about the textile traditions of the state.The cuisine and shopping were as attractive as the sights, the culture, and the hospitality we encountered everywhere. The driving provided extra excitement!

Veloso Tours have organised a number of very successful trips for us in South & Central America in the past 20 years or so and this tour provides assurance that their organisational skills can be applied to other Regions worldwide including India. In partnership with their local agents in New Delhi, Far Horizon Tours, Veloso designed and delivered a relatively complex programme which fully met all of our requirements and left us with many enjyable memories.

Magical Ecuador

We had a wonderful holiday in Ecuador organised by Veloso. We visited three very different parts of the country: the city of Quito, the rain forest and the Galápagos Islands. All three were special in their own way.

Celebration Tour of Costa Rica, Ecuadorian Amazon and the Galapagos

Holiday of a lifetime. The entire trip was organised beautifully. Service by the land agents worked like clockwork (maybe airport drop-offs were a bit early but understandable) The accommodation was good but El Remanso in Costa Rica is very special. Service in all of the hotels could not be faulted. The naturalist guides on the Amazon and on our Galápagos cruise were excellent and could answer all of our questions Staying at Napo Lodge on ...

Service in all of the hotels could not be faulted. The naturalist guides on the Amazon and on our Galápagos cruise were excellent and could answer all of our questions Staying at Napo Lodge on the Amazon is a must and the indigenous people shared their unique understanding of the forest and how this important area can be saved for future generations Our Cruising around the Galapagos on the Endemic was memorable. All staff were excellent and the ship with just 16 passengers was ideal A huge thank you to everyone concerned in making this holiday truly memorable

Great to be back travelling!

We are just back from 16 days travelling in Argentina and Brazil, organised by Veloso Tours. Booked in September 2019 and postponed twice because of the pandemic, Veloso were great at keeping us posted and reassured about our planned trip. Throughout the trip all guides were excellent, transport went to plan, and hotels had been thoughtfully chosen. Not our first trip with Veloso, and hopefully not the last - thoroughly recommended!

Rating for tour operator:

Veloso Tours go the extra mile to ensure that holidays run smoothly, are hugely knowledgeable about the areas they promote, and care about the enjoyment of their clients. We were amazed at how many of our guides told us how much they like working for Veloso and how caring they were of them throughout the pandemic. We were very impressed!

We travelled to Ecuador and The Galapagos Islands, Veloso Tours had been recommended to us by Delmar World Travel and after viewing the brochure and researching the area we decided to consult someone from Veloso Tours in conjunction with Delmar to help us make a plan. We talked about what we wanted from the holiday explaining our interests and what we would like to see. We toured Ecuador starting in Quito and the surrounding area including Otavalo market Papallacta Hot Springs and then travelled south along The Avenue of the volcanoes taking in the Devil's Nose Railway and on to the delightful city of Cuenca before continuing to Guayaquil and flying on to the Galapagos Islands . We were met by our guide and taken to our motor yacht The Beluga, all aspects of the cruise were excellent our excursions to various islands were amazing being able to view birds, land and marine life in such close proximity was special.

Rating for tour operator:

The Veloso team were extremely helpful and tailor made the holiday to meet our needs. We were very impressed by their organisation and the care that was taken in Ecuador and The Galapagos to deliver a splendid holiday. All guides and staff took great care of us and we would not hesitate to travel with them again. All hotels were carefully chosen and were of a high standard. Our guide/driver in mainland Ecuador Mauricio Baus was knowledgeable, interesting and helpful.
