What travelers are saying

"A really excellent trip. Interesting and varied itinerary with many highlights, although Hoi An, including the cookery class, and the Hạ Long Bay cruise are worthy of special mention. We - myself, my wife, our daughter and her partner - were expecting a group of up to 16.......it was just the 4 of us, so a private tour and our tour guide - Long - was just absolutely brilliant, not only with the daytime excursions, but recommending to us/taking us to/joining us at so many really good restaurants, introducing us to many culinary local pleasures. Thank you so much, Long!"

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

What travelers are saying

"We booked a National Geographic expedition Holland and Belgium by River. The promotional literature promised a 14-day deposit refund window. The “invoice” was marked “non-refundable” deposit. We completed the National Geographic Traveler Information. About 8 days later we received the “Travel Agreement” to be signed. We both approved and signed the National Geographic documents. A Cruise Line Travel agreement was enclosed but had no signature line. This document contained language which was unacceptable. We submitted the signed NatGeo documents. The following day we canceled the trip due to the unacceptable Cruise Line language. Cancellation was made 12 days after booking and no deposit was returned. We were told on the phone that the refund deadline was triggered by the 14 day window OR signatures on the Travel Agreement which ever came first. This was NEW information. To date, we have received NO refund of our $1000. We cancelled our trip within the advertised 14 day window."

What travelers are saying

"My friend and I had the privilege of working with Deepak at Gets Holidays to design a unique private tour that included the Goldent Triangle , Varanasi, Ranthambhore, Lucknow and Jodphur. The planning for our India visit was so nicely done that we asked to add Bhutan to our tour. The trips to both India and Bhutan could not have been better. They far exceeded all expectations. Every detail was perfect. We enjoyed door to door service for every activity and stop, and had outstanding local guides for each unique location. I really can’t emphasize enough the quality of care we had during this trip. The talent of our local guides should really be highlighted. Each represented their world to us with passion, knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. We were treated as family and it made it easy and fun to enjoy what we were learning while generating in us an eagerness to learn even more about what we were experiencing. Thanks to everyone at Gets Holidays for these outstanding experiences. I travel a lot and I can honestly say that these were the best tours I have ever had. I highly recommend Gets Holidays to anyone else that is looking for a high quality tour in some very unique places in India and Bhutan. You will not be disappointed."

What travelers are saying

"Feels a bit double writing this review. On the one hand, it was a nice trip with good lodges and good food, on the other hand, the guide was not good (way too present, poor condition - we constantly had to wait) and - worst- they gave us very poor sleeping bags (too small, too cold and not breathable which made the sleeping bag damp/wet). We've indicated this several times to the organization, but little was done. What I liked is that the owner was open to our feedback. Also, the feedback is that they can do better to prevent the porter from carrying unnecessary kilos. Because of this, I give them the benefit of the doubt; 3 instead of 2 stars."
