27-day group trip to Peru

“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.”

14-day family trip to Kenya

“We used Rough Guides to book a safari holiday to Kenya using 'Beyond The Plains Safaris'. 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.”

12-day couple trip to France & Italy

“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!”

14-day couple trip to India

“Rough Guides through their local Indian agent Earthen Experiences did everything they could to ensure a memorable trip. 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.”

16-day family trip to India

“This was the trip of a lifetime for us and it was exceptionally well organised from beginning to end. 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.”

9-day couple trip to Turkey

“We had a great custom tour or Türkiye for 8 nights. It was a wonderful itinerary with reliable transportation and guides. We were able to stay in some amazing accomodation and the travel company were open to varying as per our preferences. The tour was good value for what was provided and the WhatsApp group communication worked well, we were given pick up instructions the day before each transfer and the airport transfer drivers made their locations very easy to find , with descriptions and photos of where they were waiting There were couple of very minor issues easily resolved by making contact. One hotel had booked 2 beds but immediately gave us an upgrade when I showed the correct accommodation on voucher. ( A benefit of having a local agent so no need to call it was sorted out quickly). We particularly enjoyed our guide Canan and driver Innez in Cappadocia . The ladies who did the cooking class were very nice and the restaurant was very clean and had a nice view. Stay longer if you can so you can have some rest days enjoying the hotel facilities. You can confidently rely on Corbieco travel’s team to reliably provide a special and unique holiday and the Rough Guides booking platform was easy to use and provided us extra confidence in using a local agent.”
