Authentic Cultural Tours for Travelers Like You

The tour guides, local guides, and drivers were very good. People were knowledgeable and eager to help us, if a problem arose. The food was good, our request for vegetarian meals was honored, and the hotels were much nicer than I had anticipated. Several hotels were luxurious, and all of them were comfortable. I felt pampered.

India is fascinating and fabulous and we saw a great deal on this trip. There is no place like it. I am impressed and amazed everytime I look at our photos at the variety and the richness of our experience.

Fantastic Tour. A high highlight was The Eagle Festival and meeting an eagle hunter in his home. The West Mongolia guide, Jagaa, also invited several eagle hunters to meet us in the tour group's lunch tent. Jagaa was obviously well-connected -- he seemed to know everyone at the festival and around town. He also invited a throat singer to our farewell dinner.

Our guide, Edite, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, she was a 12. And, for that matter, all the drivers and the young man who met us at the airport were wonderful. Even the weather was great. Hard to say one highlight because so much was wonderful. Could have stayed forever but the tour length was fine.

Both the guides in Malta and Cyprus are very experienced, spoke English very well, and were a wealth of information especially in Cyprus anything from very ancient mythological days to current situation in North Cyprus. I always enjoy walking through the historical old towns and villages and I loved all the stone work on buildings and small roads within each town on some steep hills; however I think that Valletta in Malta was truly a highlight for (sensory overload almost) and all the old churches with all the artwork in the icons and general structure.

We loved our educational visits to the varied historical sites and learned so much about Indian culture/customs from our local guides, drivers, and interactions with Indian tourists we met along the way. Excellent service in India--especially by our driver! He went out of his way to make our time special. We will always remember his kindness. We're already thinking of a return trip to India

It was an amazing trip with visits to many beautiful or culturally significant areas.  That made it a feast for my eyes.  It was mentally stimulating, too, because of the region’s history, the desire to understand the current tensions which exist there, and the need to explore some places on my own.  Also, our group of 7 got along well together in my opinion.  The itinerary was flexible enough to enable people to do things that suited their interests. Many thanks to you! It was a wonderful vacation, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The guides were knowledgeable, personable, and patient, and the hotels exceeded my expectations.

Excellent info and service from Original World, Everything went smoothly with never a hitch. Excellent guides and drivers. Henock was one of the best guides I ever had. Great trip. I'm coming back for West Africa Kingdoms Tour next.
