Undiscovered Destinations Traveller Reviews

It was a small group of 9 experienced travellers with a great sense of humour and we all got along like a house on fire ! Together we saw some amazing places such as the large fishing village just north of Dakar called Kayar, experienced fascinating tribal dances such as the Kumpo dance in Casamance, Senegal and the Vaca Bruto dance in one of the Bijagos islands in Guinea Bissau and walked around colourful local markets. The accomodation ranged from good to amazing and our final stay was at a luxury hotel overlooking the sea combined with the best of French cuisine.

The tour was very well run with efficient logistics and a great local guide who was friendly, knowledgeable and well organized.

Fascinating discovery of an area that is fairly new to tourism. Mosques, madrasahs, mausoleums, mountains, markets, museums, monuments, and much more!

Good communication and trip design.

I travelled with Undiscovered Destinations to Ghana and enjoyed an amazing 2 weeks mixing with locals and visiting a variety of places around the country. A fascinating journey that’s left me wanting more.

Undiscovered Destinations..

Loved the sites and getting to know the culture and people of India. We were very well being looked after.

They were very helpful through the planning and answered any query so we felt relaxed that it will be up to expectation and it was.

Rajasthan Encompassed - 4000km travelled over 16 days, great experiences all through the time there. Great itinery with lots to see and do. Thouroughly enjoyable

Everything was well organised both in the UK and in India. Guides knowledgeable, excellent, safe driver. Very satisfied.

A private trip for two people with bespoke tours in Sulawesi, Timor Leste, Bali, the Philippines, Brunei and Kuala Lumpur, plus stopovers in Qatar, Singapore, and Kuwait.

I am sure there were times during the planning stage of this trip that my name was mud in the UD office. Having started the process in 2019 for travel in the Autumn the following year, the plans changed a number of times over the following three years (delayed due to Covid) and I contacted Mark on numerous occasions with questions and amendments before the itinerary was eventually finalised. And what an itinerary it was, a private bespoke trip spanning eight countries over a period of eight weeks, incorporating three of UD's standard tours, all of which were modified to suit our needs. In addition, we added destinations not generally available on their website, with a total of 17 flights and 31 hotels. We were provided with detailed pre-trip information, including links to apply for visas. It wasn't until, as a control-freak, I created a chronological folder for all the paperwork, that I realised just how much work this must have been for Mark and the local teams. There is no way I could have attempted to put this together myself, and it is very reassuring to know that Mark regularly checks in with the local teams to ensure that everything is running smoothly. With 17 flights, 30 drivers, 23 guides and 31 hotels, the chances are that there will be a hiccup somewhere along the way. There wasn't. Everything just happened as if by magic. A tour operator is only as good as its local teams, and we have always found UD's partner agents to be excellent, with guides who go above and beyond to ensure traveller satisfaction. To give an example: we arrived at our accommodation to find a number of steep steps leading from the car park to the rooms (I have limited mobility), so the local team swapped us around with other clients (with their approval) to another lodge where there were no steps. That is true customer service. The complete customer service package is one of the reasons we keep using UD time and time again (11 times so far). Having used around 70 different tour operators over a lifetime of travel, I can honestly say that UD is one of the best out there. With their wide range of truly unusual destinations, their can-do attitude to personalising their itineraries, and their impeccable customer service, I hope to be in a position to book many more tours through them.

Undiscovered Destinations organized everything for us, the thing we had to do was following our itenerary by driving ourselves. We got a 2 week round trip in Namibia, very nice overnight stays, a good and informativ leaflet about what to see and how to get from place to place. A perfect holiday

Very good information before travelling. Local representativ that gave us additional information when getting the car the first day.

We generally enjoy completely independent travel, but this enjoyable self-drive tour in Oman was the nearest thing and we felt very cared for, especially as there were problems with the outward flight (30 hour delay, and lost luggage) which both the UK and Oman staff dealt with as well as they could. The tour was busy but we were able to arrange some flexibility into it in advance and it gave us an excellent introduction to a fascinating and often beautiful country, with lovely polite people.

'Undiscovered Destinations'. We were very impressed with the standard of organisation and the support we received throughout.

Two weeks in Bhutan and a week in Sri Lanka Covering a cultural eperince in both countries

Tailored our holiday to meet our expectations

Fantastic trip through this intriguing country. Lovely to visit such a distinctive culture with terrific walks in stunning landscapes.

Very good with all the arrangements and choice of hotels and guides.
