Reviews of Nomadic Thoughts (Worldwide Travel)
A wonderful way to first experience the Middle East, the development of Oman - and in particular the desert and the life of the Bedouin,
Our itinerary packed a lot into the 8 nights that flew by far too quickly. The opulence and sophistication of Muscat with its Arabian architecture, the gleaming new motor cars streaming down the highway introduced us to the modern Oman. The Crowne Plaza Hotel multinational in every way was extremely comfortable and friendly, it felt very British with its tennis coaching, and table tennis and others. Our wonderful Beddu guide /driver was with ...
Our itinerary packed a lot into the 8 nights that flew by far too quickly. The opulence and sophistication of Muscat with its Arabian architecture, the gleaming new motor cars streaming down the highway introduced us to the modern Oman. The Crowne Plaza Hotel multinational in every way was extremely comfortable and friendly, it felt very British with its tennis coaching, and table tennis and others. Our wonderful Beddu guide /driver was with us for the entire journey and an absolute delight. His driving through the mountains to Nizwa was very exciting but never felt dangerous. He was always there for us, he took us to many places that were not on the itinerary and had a huge amount of information at his finger tips. His day was punctuated by his 5 prayer times that never infringed on our day in fact enhanced it.The visits to souqs and markets were busy and we never felt pushed to buy. Without a doubt our two nights in the desert driving up sand dunes and watching the sun rise and go down was an experience that will remain with us for the lives.
Rating for tour operator:Nomadic Thoughts arranged our itinerary with much explanation an consultation and fitted us perfectly.

Winter sunshine and luxury without the jet lag
We stayed at the Ritz Calton Abama in Tenerife for 6 nights over Autumn half term holiday. Wonderful hotel with excellent service, food and accomodation. Perfect family resort as there was something for everyone: golf, gym, spa, swimming and sunshine. Although a big hotel it is very well spreadout and it had a protected beach as well as several swimming pools for families as well as just for adults. The hotel caters for both families and adults ...

Although a big hotel it is very well spreadout and it had a protected beach as well as several swimming pools for families as well as just for adults. The hotel caters for both families and adults only very well. Had a lovely relaxing time and could not fault the service.
Rating for tour operator:We have used Nomadic Thoughts before and can highly recommend them. They listen to what you want and come up with options to fit the bill. Have never been disappointed, just delighted when we arrive at our destination! Makes booking holiday easy as we can rely on Nomadic Thoughts in providing great holidays and service from start to finish. Very personal service, highly professional with great knowledge of the world and the best places to go.
Thank you for your kind words. Excellent to hear you had another great trip.
The best holiday ever
First time in India but it won't be the last. Nomadic Thourghts created a perfect 10 day trip to Kerala which provided an ideal introduction to the culture, people, geography and sights of this beautiful part of the world. They even included an idyllic restful oasis for a few days of R&R. Really simply perfect.

Thank you for such positive feedback. We are obviously thrilled you have had such a good trip.
We had an amazing four weeks in Canada
As a family of four we spent four weeks travelling by car from Calgary to Vancouver taking in the Rockies, the Okanagan, and Vancouver Island. We stayed in a variety of hotels and inns, some which were very luxurious, and others which were functional. We went walking, canoeing, jet skiing, stand up paddle boarding, white water rafting, whale watching, played golf, took a flight in a sea plane and took a couple of beautiful ferry journeys.

Rating for tour operator:Nomadic Thoughts (Jono) helped us plan our whole holiday offering helpful insights, experience and advice throughout. Their personal tailored approach is absolutely first rate. I would (and have) recommend them to any of my friends and family.

Smooth running varied holiday to an eco lodge in primary rainforest half way up the Amazon river
Nomadic Thoughts organised a superb trip which gave us a full week in a floating eco lodge onthe Amazon river. We slept out in the forest one night, and spent a day with a local community which allowed us to fish and swim with them and to eat the piranha we had caught. All the pick ups worked perfectly and we had excellent guides, especially in the case of Roberto Merces in Salvador, who was vastly well-informed, funny and seemed to know ...
Nomadic Thoughts organised a superb trip which gave us a full week in a floating eco lodge onthe Amazon river. We slept out in the forest one night, and spent a day with a local community which allowed us to fish and swim with them and to eat the piranha we had caught. All the pick ups worked perfectly and we had excellent guides, especially in the case of Roberto Merces in Salvador, who was vastly well-informed, funny and seemed to know everyone in the entire city. The holiday was varied with three different locations, but with plenty of time to achieve a real sense of each place.
Rating for tour operator:Nomadic Thoughts dealt calmly, happily and clearly with all our queries and changes of plan. They understood what it was we really wanted from our trip and made it happen. The guides and hotels they chose were excellent, with really kindly, sweet-natured staff doing their very best to help us when we wanted to do something out of the ordinary, or needed help with a minor injury, or the fixing-up of an extra mosquito net. Everything was 100% efficient, without a single hiccough.
Thank you for your comments .. we will also pass on your kind words to Roberto.
Thank you. Caipirinhas all round.
Viking Homelands
Excellent. Staff efficient and friendly. Quick service. Tripps well organised and every detail covered. Food vg but slightly too much emphasis on North American clents. ie no provision for tea making in state room - only a complicated coffee maker.Room service not an option as it would take too long for tea to arrive. Good to see safety drill for crew - lifeboats lowered and tested twice.

Rating for tour operator:more than 50% of clients had used Viking previously - many on River Cruises, so that is a recommendation in itself.
