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.

“We booked a trip through Rough Guides with Edvinas from Seagull Travel for 17 days in Tahlinn and Finland in Autumn. The itinerary met our request for an active holiday, seeing the countryside, getting to understand Finnish Culture and people. We loved all of our accommodation and particularly memorable was the Degustation Dinner in Rovaniemi and the Lapland excursions and seeing Aurora Borealis. Edvinas kept in contact with us during the trip making sure that all arrangements were fine which was very comforting. A very good experience and very simple process for payment.”

“My wife and I just finished a terrific trip to Nepal, which we arranged through Swotah Travel. We found Swotah through the Insight Guides guidebook to Nepal. Through several months of online and email discussions and planning, Swotah helped us plan the trip of a lifetime within our moderate budget. In Nepal Swotah staff Elisha (can't remember her last name) and Sijal Rana coordinated our activities, and local guides Basansta Raimaji (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Nagarkot) and Dipak and Anita Bastola (Pokhara) were outstanding in their understanding, communication, hospitality and ability to add context to the sights we were seeing. We are generally independent travelers who don't go on large tours and who set our own agendas, but we decided we needed help to negotiate Nepal, make hotel and travel arrangements and assist us in getting to the places we wanted to see. Basansta, Dipak and Anita added a tremendous amount to our trip. We went to Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur, Nagarkot, Chitwan National Park and Pokhara before returning to Kathmandu and coming home. We went on an Everest viewing flight and enjoyed tremendous views of the Himalayas, especially from Nagarkot near Kathmandu and Sarangkot near Pokhara. We saw magnificent Hindu shrines and Buddhist stupas, and the explanations we received from Basansta, Dipak and Anita added greatly to our appreciation. Finally, Swotah's owner both greeted us on our first day in Kathmandu and met with us on our final evening to discuss how the trip went. We both want to return to Nepal and would be very happy to use Swotah again to make our arrangements. We give them our highest recommendation.”

“Yes, she did a great job. We are on hold due to uncertainty of travel partners and availability of travel dates for all.”
