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.

“Very good recomendations, on where to stay, where to go. I really felt that GP Wentzel listened to me and what I wanted to do in my voyage. Thanks”

“It was great to have the whole trip planned for me as I'd never been to Portugal before. All I had to do was explain what I was looking to get from the 5 days and a rough idea of the areas I wanted to see. Goncales was very detailed and booked me on appropriate tours.”

“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.”

“Our trip to Madagascar was excellent, the drivers, local guides, the accommodations and the meals all exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend rough guides to help anyone plan their next adventure.”

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.”

“Nadia gave me a great idea of a trip. Too bad that my husband will need surgery and we'll have to postpone. I will come back to Nadia when needed. I recommend”
