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.

Listened to what we wanted and what hotels we liked and put together a great itinerary which we then tweaked a little bit. We did the North, Central and South Vietnam and had a separate guide and driver for each. The guide was helpful and spoke great English.”

“The itinerary was varied but a bit rushed. The Amazon experience in Manu national park required a degree of physical fitness which was not mentioned in the itinerary. Overall the trip was very satisfactory and would recommend the company to others.”

I would highly recommend to others and will use the company again when wanting to organise similar holidays in the future. The communication with the local agent was great. Arrangements for booking and payment etc clear and worked well and we felt comfortable having the backing of a company of rough guides rather than going to direct to a local agent. The local agent was brilliant and the holiday itself excellent.”

“Vaseem helped making our Trip in May 2026 to Paris, Rouen, and Rome. I had picked the hotels and places to visit and he put it all together. I was really nervous but in the end Vaseem really put it together for us. I do recommend checking in regularly and making sure your tours are booked and definitely get first in line. The hotel rooms were great and centered in great areas close to our tours. Transportation was awesome! I’m a nervous Nellie but everything came together and I would definitely use Vaseem again. Anytime I wanted to zoom, he was available. I’m hoping next year I can bring the whole family!! Thank you Rough Guides!”

Earthen Experiences checked on our welfare and enjoyment on a daily basis and their representatives, guides and drivers were always well presented and on time. They allowed us to make small changes to the schedule and overall could not have been more helpful.”

From the initial enquiries, customising the visit to our needs and adopting the trip whilst we were in India - nothing was too much for the tour company. Jaya was especially helpful throughout. We saw and experience so much across our two weeks and would recommend them to anyone.”
