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.

Travelling with our own guides and drivers to Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan we visited places we would have found difficult to organise on our own. Rough Guides introduced us a local company called 'My Silk Way Trips'. After detailed planning they suggested an excellent programme that exactly fitted our interests. The trip was excellent with friendly and knowledgeable guides who spoke perfect English.”

“Ahmed has been very proactive in assisting me with my itinerary for Egypt and Jordan. He listens to my questions, suggestions and initial ideas. He has been prompt in responding and altering accommodations and activities to help me achieve the trip of my dreams We are still a work in progress but getting very close to a final product. I'm very impressed with Ahmed's professionalism.”

“From the very first email enquiry to the last day of our holiday the service from Rough Guides was 100%. The itinerary planned was varied, there was no worry about logistics and every single guide and driver were extremely friendly and polite. We has a wonderful time exploring Argentina and Brazil. The time spent there was just not long enough, 2 and a half week. You need a month or more.”
Martin 
“Rough Guides matched us with a local tour company who arranged a spectacular two week adventure in Brazil. We stayed at excellent hotels, were provided wonderful tour guides and drivers and the itinerary was perfect. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience and trip.”
