“Rough Guides does an amazing job with developing the itinerary because they ask what your interests are, what are you interested in learning, seeing and experiencing. From there they develop an itinerary based on your travel desires. Our trip to England was to relive great memories from when we lived there in 1998-2001. And they put together a perfect itinerary for us. Jane, our travel consultant, stayed in touch with us regularly to ensure our needs were met and we had all the entrance tickets, train tickets and pick up times before we left on our trip. The trip was great and met all our expectations. And this happened on all other Rough Guides trips we have booked as well. So this was not a one off, lucky break for us. Thank you!”

“Jane D. did an outstanding job of taking care of the details and accomodating their tours to our interests. The personal tour of the Wicklow Mts. in ireland was exceptional. All of the hotels she arranged, in spite of Bank Holidays & school holidays were great. Only issue was final hire car, larger than requested but Avis worked with us to get a smaller vehicle.”

“We had a great custom-designed tour to the Uk. Very organized, easy to follow, and we saw everything we wanted to see with very comfortable lodging and good locations. I am not a fan of group tours and this saved so much time when we didn't have to do all the research and reservations ourself. Highly reccomend.”

“I can’t begin to say what a wonderful experience it was to work with Rough Guides and especially Jane Davey. The Wales vacation that was planned for us was everything that we hoped for and more importantly, everything that we asked for. We had requested a specific type of accommodation and the two properties we were booked into were perfect. The easiest description was that the hotels had “character”. They had an “old world charm” but with up-to-date amenities. They were each centrally located and easy to reach by rail. Each location had courteous staff and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Additionally, each property had a restaurant with delicious food. The tours that were booked for us were all wonderful. We asked for the chance to see local landmarks and interesting places and each tour delivered on that request. Our guides were all friendly, knowledgeable and always on time. Finally, Jane arranged all our rail transfers, using her local knowledge. We always had the exact departure and arrival times and even the expected connection window. Her details made us feel like veteran travelers of a very busy rail system. Most importantly, when we did miss a connection, due to an airline issue, Jane’s attention to detail made us confident that we could make the necessary adjustments to get us back on schedule. It was also comforting to know that if needed, help from Rough Guides was only a phone call away. We sincerely thank Jane for her assistance, and we highly recommend Rough Guides for your next trip.”

“The guide is knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. I do wish his English would be a little better. Sometimes it’s difficult to convey to him or understand what he is trying to tell us. But otherwise he is a great guide and eventually we do communicate after repeating ourselves. The trip has been wonderful and everything we have seen has been very interesting. However a few days we were done at 12-1pm and back to the hotel to essentially do nothing. Tomorrow nothing is planned and we are just spending the entire day at the hotel. We could have shortened the trip by a couple days had we known that. But overall we have enjoyed the trip and all we have seen and the guide has been very good.”

“Used the Rough Guides local tour company to arrange a 9 night trip to Normandy and Paris. Very interesting time in Normandy especially - WWII museum, battle sites and cemetery, Mont St. Michel, Honfleur, Etretat. Paris is always a wonderful city to explore.”

“He has helped me understand and has been a great resource and planner! Vaseem has been patient as I learn what is needed to have a great trip! He has been very flexible to my ideas! Thank you Vaseem!”

“Vaseem was wonderful in planning our trip to Paris. We had a party of 9 arriving and leaving at different times. He conducted a video chat to understand our needs. We hit all the big things in Paris, day in Normandy and day in Bruge. All transfers, tickets and support were taken care of! Highly recommend Vaseem”

“Vaseem did a nice job”

“We are near finalizing a trip with Vaseem’s company for Spring 2026. Vaseem has made the process a very smooth one both with his excellent ideas and communication skills. He has been a genuine pleasure to work with.”

“I cannot say enough good things about working with Rough Guides, and especially our local expert, Vaseem. We spent two weeks in southwest France, traveling initially for a wedding in Rodez and then spending 9 days traveling in the region, including Toulouse, the Pyrenees, Basque country and finally flying back to the US from Bilboa. I had never used a travel company before - always booking everything on my own. But this trip I was feeling overwhelmed with all the choices of where to visit and stay and found Rough Guides through an Internet search - and I'm so glad I did! Vaseem took care of everything, including planning our route and booking our rental car, hotels, excursion tickets...and calming my nerves!! Vaseem carefully listened to my thoughts and interests and created a trip for us that reached far beyond our expectations. Vaseem was responsive throughout the trip and helped to make a few last minute adjustments to our schedule. About 2/3 into the trip I joked with Vaseem that we felt like we were in the movie, "The Truman Show" - each day waking up to perfect weather, friendly people and a spectacular itinerary. But unlike the movie - it lasted for the whole trip and never fell apart!! Thank you Vaseem for your thoughtfulness and expertise - you are a true local expert!!”

“Accommodations, guides and transport drivers were excellent, as well many hikes. Beautiful country. Many times for hikes were underestimated such that it became a burden on drivers.”

“Our two weeks in Spain were flawless, with Rough Guides and Sabine handling all the ways in which our trip could be extraordinary: Hotels, transportation, single-day, and evening, guided trips -- whether to see towns and sites, or by way of wandering restaurant adventures with others that were delectable and memorable and exquisite fun. Just terrific travel expertise from Rough Guides that made our for-the-ages trip indelible. We were in good hands throughout.”
