Our tailor-made trips are all planned by local experts – who work for tour operators on the ground – so that all the pesky planning details are taken care of for you. Their know-how, and 24/7 support, makes travel truly stress-free. But don’t just take our word for it: these reviews are all written by real travellers who have booked a tailor-made trip with Rough Guides. Every traveller is asked to leave a review after their trip, but you can leave one before you go, too.

“We used rough guides to plan a multi-generation trip (seniors, young kids, and parents) to Indonesia. We wanted to visit parts of Java, Komodo and a beach destination. The trip planner Jessica was very helpful. We started with a Bali itinerary, but she was receptive to our feedback and helped update it to go to Lombok instead. On the ground experience was very good too. I had a WhatsApp group with Jessica and Shella (local support) and both were extremely supportive for any unforeseen situations and questions. Last but not the least, my dad needed some support during the trip due to his age. All the guides helped provide care for him, at times going out of the way. I have used Rough Guides before, and would use them again in future.”

Planning required a decent amount of back and forth, but this was because we chose to really customize the experience to fulfill everyone’s desires and curate the timeline. Ana was patient in working with us throughout. The service once we were in the country could not have been better. We had somewhat complicated transportation transfers but our drivers were always hours early and ready when we needed them. The drivers and guides in each area were lovely and outstanding! Ana and her colleague were available throughout the trip should any issue arise, which was very reassuring. Would happily book with them again.”

The trip executed flawlessly and when needed Ana was there to correct small issues locally with suppliers. We saw so many beautiful parts of Indonesia from Bali, Komodo, Gili Menu, Wea Rebo, North Suluwasi and the list goes on. The trip was full of adventure, laughs and beautiful scenery. I'd highly recommend the trip to anyone interested in putting together a customized trip with Rough Guides. We definitely plan on coming back and will use Ana again. Thank you.”
