"My husband and I are world travelers and do not normally take tours. Our guide was phenomenal with a great sense of humor. We saw way more than we would have seen on our own. Every detail was planned perfectly. Thank you"

"Amazing company! Very professional and organized. I always travel on my own with my own itinerary but felt that for Egypt I needed a guide. But I didn't want to join a large group. This was perfect. I travelled alone but felt very safe with this company. I did a 6-day package that included Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria. My guides were Youssa and Ali and they were both excellent, they made this an amazing trip. Even when we had to take a detour because of a flat tire, Youssa handled it very well and it didn't ruin the trip at all. Highly highly recommend this company!"

"The weeklong Mejdi tour of Israel I recently went on - "Dual Narrative Mult--Day Tour of Israel and Palestine" - was deeply disappointing in its failure to provide anywhere close to a balanced dual narrative about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our Palestinian guide gave extensive information about the Palestinian perspective on the conflict, which was quite interesting and informative, whereas our Israeli Jewish guide gave extremely little information about the conflict. I would estimate that 90-95% of the information we were provided about the conlict over the course of the week, past and present – from our two guides and from the outside speakers and museums we visited that directly addressed that issue – was from the Palestinian perspective. And our lodging was in Palestinian/Arab sections of cities all of the nights of the tour except for the first night in Haifa. As one of the very few Jewish people in my tour group, during much of the tour I felt lonely and sad at the large imbalance in the information we were exposed to about the two narratives. I realize not all Mejdi tours of Israel are likely to be this disappointing, in part because the guides are not the same for each tour group. But at the same time I would have hoped for a much more balanced experience from a tour that’s marketed as a “dual narrative” one. I gave this feedback to the Mejdi leadership right after the tour, and they thanked me for the feedback and conveyed that my experience wasn’t typical or common, but I wonder how they would know that, given that they didn’t solicit feedback from us after the tour. And I know from many private conversations with others in my tour group that, while several people on the tour were very pleased overall, there were several others who shared my disappointment. While there were a number of very interesting experiences on the trip, and Mejdi did a reasonably good job of managing the trip logistics, overall the trip was deeply disappointing for the reasons I've given above."

"What an incredible trip! I am so thankful to have planned my Algeria travels with Mosaic North Africa. It was packed with excitement, history, and sights. I was truly blown away by how much they were able to pack into my 12 days. Not a moment was wasted. When I arrived, the local guide team greeted me and were so kind. They worked at my own pace. They taught me about Algeria’s history, from Roman ruins to French occupations. Everything was pre-arranged, we even had police escorts in some places. My highlight was undoubtedly the 4-day desert camping. Very few can say they went so deep into the Sahara Desert. We traveled by 4×4 to see numerous ancient cave drawings, hike massive sand dunes, and camp under the stars… all the meals were delicious, cooked fresh. It was perfect. A time I will not forget, and I certainly could not have made it all happen on my own."

"We went to a custom trip to Nepal with the Vacation Project in April and it was the best time of my life. Getting to know new people, traditions and culture was truly amazing. Our guide Rakesh was well prepared and made us feel like we were long time friends, which made the time in Nepal really special. Working with the children in Changu was amazing and all i can hope for is that i made an impact on their lifes, just like they made on mine. I can totally recommend a trip with TVP!"
