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.

“They listened to want we wanted to do and see on the trip and put a great itinerary together. They also try to understand budget up front.”

“My family had an amazing trip to Italy, planned by Rough Guides. We saw so many things but also didn't pack the itinerary too full, so every tour or experience was really amazing!”
Michael H.
“We'd never been to Italy and had only general ideas of where to go and what we wanted to do. We had NO CLUE on the specifics of where to stay and how to arrange activities and transport. I stumbled across Rough Guides during my research, did a little research and started communicating with them. They shaped a FANTASTIC experience from there and stayed in contact to make sure it all came through. I can safely say that we had a much more enjoyable trip, with far less stress, because of Rough Guides.”

“We had a great time on our trip to Malta and Sicily. The boat ride to the Blue Lagoon and Gozo and the tour of the ruins of the Valley of the Temple were highlights.”
Barb C.
“My husband and I enjoyed our trip! He kept remarking that I did a good job planning it and I said I couldnt take all the credit! Everyone I was in contact with (especially Marianne) were very easy to work with. All our connections went smoothly. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. I hope to go back to Italy and travel in the northern part of the country and I will use Rough Guides again!”

“Guides were wonderful, drivers excellent, great accommodations but the communication available while we were in Sicily was superb ! Any time there was any issue (and we did have a couple) they were sorted very quickly and competently. Marianne, who put together our 10 day Itinerary was great, not an easy feat with 11 opinions/ requests! Our only disapointment was Mt. Etna, the hike was too challenging for our group and would have been better had we had something with minimal hiking and vehicle/gondola as were available at the base.( Just to note: one of our group walks 10 miles a day but found it difficult).”
