Wild Frontiers Traveller Reviews

I went on a food and culture group tour to Iran with Wild Frontiers. The tour was well thought out and combined an excellent mix of culture, food and led by a top guide, Mehrdad who was like an encyclopedia but also very fun to be with. I like that WF tours are always small in size, no more than 12. In this case, there were 7 of us. We were very well looked after. Iran was very surprising. The people are so disconnected with the government. Persepolis is amazing. Walking through 550 BC architecture is fascinating and at the same time, humbling but unfortunately we hit it at the end of a 3 day local holiday so, was forced to share the experience with a lot of local tourists who were very friendly but loved doing selfies, which is one of my pet hates. The gardens of Shiraz, the mosques of Esfahan, and both the gardens and mosques of Kashan were wonderful, the latter probably my favourite. I wished I had more time in Iran. As it was a group tour (and not a private one), we crammed in a lot of things in the 10 days that we were there. I am very glad I visited it as I have always been intrigued to see it.

Wild Frontiers looked after us very well from sending us very helpful information about getting the visa to looking after us all throughout our trip. Their guides are always so brilliant.

We visited the major historical sites around 4 main centres - Shiraz, Yazd, Esfahan and Tehran and had a very varied and well thought out programme each day. The Persian cuisine was delicious. However, meeting the people and feeling their genuine warmth was a delight. I was most impressed by their good manners. We had excellent tour leader, local guide and driver, who made the holiday extra special by working so hard.

Wild Frontiers is an extremely professional company who think of everything.

A SEVEN DAY BLITZKRIEG ODYSSEY THAT COVERED ALL THE MAJOR ROMAN SITES IN ALGERIA, WHICH ARE AMONG THE FINEST IN THE WORLD.

EXCELLENT, AS ON A PREVIOUS ADVENTURE TO SYRIA.

We spent two weeks following the Chinese section of the Silk Road. The whole journey was amazing in every way. There was a private driver and guide for the two of us at each step along the route. They were all excellent. The hotels were individual, each with their own unique signature, and again of the very highest quality. Where ever we went we enjoyed unforgettable experiences - Terracotta Warriors; Mogao Caves; Heavenly Lake; Kashgar Sunday Market; the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace to name but a few. The list goes on and on. Without a doubt one of, if not THE best holiday we have ever had.

Personal service from Nathan Drane. All our requirements efficiently and effectively dealt with. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use Wild Frontiers again and have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends. Five stars all round.

The hotels were inadequate and , at times, not clean. We drove around in a bus for 60 but were only a group of 12. The food monotonous and uninspired in a region known for its cuisine. We went to tourist trap restaurants that would have been fine for a massive group but ridiculous fir our small contingent. Our hotels were often located far away from the sites we were visiting.,

A very nice competent tour leader who does not come from any of the countries we visited nor speak any of their languages nor the lingua Franca, Russian, of the region. His hands were tied as to providing us with an adequate experience as he had no control over the itinerary nor the restaurant choices. We were happy with him but overall everyone thought the tour was very poorly done Local guides were unenthusiastic. Many if the other travelers on this tour have traveled with wild frontiers many times all over the world. Everyone was disappointed by this tour and confused as to how different it was than their previous experiences with what is considered one of the premier adventure travel companies.

We chose Wild Frontiers Travel to tour India for the first time recently and weren't disappointed. Actually, the tour, the guide, the accommodation, the food, India in general, far exceeded our expectations. All of the above was amazing and we cant wait to do another part of India with WFT in the very near future. Our guide, Mayur was so knowledgeable, interesting to listen to, helpful and caring etc etc. He went out of his way to fulfil personal requests along the journey and make sure every moment in India was a memorable one for us all. The tour size, 12, was perfect and we made some awesome new friends from all over the world. My husband and I haven't stopped thinking about India and our WFT Tour since we arrived back home to Western Australia three weeks ago! Can't wait to book the next one!!!!!

Mayur was amazing and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. He was friendly, caring, informative and made our first trip to India all the more memorable. We hope to have him as our guide some day again when we travel back to India.

The Galapagos islands were amazing.Could have stayed longer. The Cloud Forest was soggy!

Highly efficient. Everything worked smoothly. All the guides were excellent. One minor Glitch getting to Finch Bay.

I have done +40 of these trips and this is definitely in the top 2-3, from the quality of the operator, the guides and trip content. Amazing trip and the trekking was outstanding. I believe that this region will become a 'must do' destination for serious trekkers in the coming years.

Wild Frontiers did an outstanding job. Our guides went beyond expectations in ensuring that we experienced the local culture. This ranged from contact with the local levels in the villages (local trekking guide was member of the tribe to non-motorized canoe trip through a village in Inle Lake at sunset. Accommodation was excellent. The daily briefing were through and consistently good through out the whole trip. Wild Frontiers is my 'go to operator' for such tripos in the future.

I spent 2 weeks travelling around Cambodia experiencing ancient history, moving memorials to more recent history and some fascinating countryside. We had two guides, one British albeit living in Laos and the other a local guide with great english and a fantastic sense of humour. I love the little treats that pitch up unexpectedly on wild frontier trips and the fact that small group means small with a maximum of 12 people. As on most of their group trips food was included and we visited some fantastic local restaurants and ate really well. I would recommend wild frontiers.

Namibia offers a complete diversity of experience. From the dusty, corrugated, roads to the amazing geology, from the pure theatre of watching wild animals at the watering holes to wild camping, the whole trip was one that will remain in the memory forever.

Our ninth trip with Wild Frontiers fully lived up to expectations. The care with which the company looks after its small groups is second to none and the itineraries offered provide amazing experiences
