What travelers are saying

"My husband and I recently returned from a magical few weeks in Ireland. When we planned the trip, we had some concerns. Overland took all of our worries away and we had a fabulous trip! -Could we really see the highlights of Ireland in just 10 days? YES...Our tour guide, Breda, told the story of Ireland as we travelled the backroads and highways to tour the entire island. Her knowledge of Ireland was quite extensive and her she is a fantastic storyteller. When someone asked a question, "Well...there's a story in that answer". She even went out of her way to make my birthday special! She picked up a cake & had hot Toddy's for the group! - Should we just rent a car and do it ourselves? NOPE! Breda took the wheel and we could relax and enjoy the countryside. We even dozed off here and there. I would NOT want to drive those narrow roads! She brought us to so many unique places that we would have NEVER found! - What about the weather in Ireland? Well, bring layers...lots of layers. And, if it rains...just wait a minute...it will pass. - Will we feel rushed on this tour? No...Breda did an amazing job of gently nudging us along from one site to another. Consider it a recon mission...take good notes on where you want to return! HIGHLY...HIGHLY recommend this tour. Ask for Breda...she made it VERY special!!!"

What travelers are saying

"I recently took a trip to Kenya and I cannot imagine any other tour operator doing a better job. Let's start at the beginning. My flight from the US landed first in London and then a second flight was to have gone to Kenya. The airline nightmare began with AA being two hours late causing me to miss my next flight on British Air. BA had given my flight away before I got off the plan and had no acceptable replacement. I spent three days and nights at Heathrow airport forcing me to miss those days of my tour. I stood in lines hours long at the airport and my second replacement flight never left the ground after being held hostage in the plane for hours. I was ready to go home. My phone would not work much of the time in the airport, but I was finally able to contact Best Singles Travel. They figured out a way to arrange for a driver to meet me at the Nairobi airport three days after my trip began and take me to Samburu, a five hour drive where the group was then located. If it had not been for this effort in figuring out a way for me to meet my group then this trip would have been lost for me. And what a shame that would have been because once I finally arrived it was magical. I saw every animal as well as much of the countryside driving all over even with missing three days. The lodges were picturesque with monkeys playing on expansive grounds, wild birds and animals, beautiful colored geckos, mountains and streams in the background where the sun met a landscape expanding as far as the eye could see producing sunsets like those seen in National Geographics. Oh, did I mention the food? No US chemicals. Just organically grown and delicious. If anyone reading this decides to travel to Kenya then I hope you stop to see David Sheldrick's rescued baby elephants. I am grateful that Best Singles Travel and Patrick, our knowledgeable considerate tour guide, took the time, effort and resources to make the remainder of this trip happen for me because now I cannot imagine having missed it. This trip was organized, included lovely memorable hotels/lodges and attentive to our needs."

What travelers are saying

"A really difficult company to communicate with, slow to respond and not able to accept accountability for poor service. Used Tee Travel in Spain which was even worse. Not able to organize support or assistance and harassed me about luggage that wasn't mine. There were other walkers who appeared to have more support and assistance from their travel providers. Definitely avoid this company as overpriced and no actual service."

"I had an amazing time on the Costa Rica starter trip. This was my first time traveling solo and U30X was a great way for me to safely see another part of the world and meet new people. Our trip leaders were Adrian and Delphine; they were very knowledgeable and fun. It felt more like we were just hanging out with our friends who happened to know a lot about the country rather than following around tour guides."
