What travelers are saying

"I'd like to express my great satisfaction with the tour and all the arrangements made by Paylesstoursindia. We had a wonderful time in India with our personal driver and guide Prakash who showed us the most interesting places ready to customise the tour to our requests and wishes. The accommodation was mainly in heritage hotels which were exceptional and the ambience there was also unique. Local guides were all polite and friendly, attractions really worth watching or experiencing. We will recommend this tour to our friends and family members."

What travelers are saying

"Our Azores trip was excellent except for a bit of rain :-); The volcano hikes were spectacular and the side trip notes were very helpful. Doing the volcano hikes was fantastic, especially being high enough to see the Atlantic Ocean to the south and the north, beautiful! We also enjoyed the beach walks and walking to town from our hotel, Santa Barbara Eco Hotel. We stayed at the Santa Barbara Eco Hotel which was excellent. The room, property, pool and spa and services were all excellent. We enjoyed meals everyday at their restaurant which where all excellent. A very relaxing and restful and comfortable hotel. The restaurant at the Santa Barbara Eco Hotel is excellent as is there sister property, The White House, were we enjoyed a spectacular sunset and dinner one night. Your selection of this company “Singular Resorts” is a very good choice. We have been using Intura Travel / Walk Inn Provence since 2014 and will use you again in the future. I have recommended you to family and friends and will continue to do so. You have excellent information and support for travelers. Fantastic trip to the Azores, it was a highlight of our vacation to Portugal."

What travelers are saying

"We did their Tromso, Northern Lights & Arctic Coast tour but customized it to add some cities and days. Wonderful experience in working with this travel group, they were very responsive and helpful. Very happy with all the lodging and tour arrangements. It is a self guided tour and we received an excellent itinerary with all the reservation and travel directions we needed. We were fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights but there are no guarantees and it would have been a great trip regardless. Norway is a gorgeous country and everyone was very helpful to these American visitors."

What travelers are saying

"As first time travellers we were completely put at ease by booking with Euroventure. We chose to do the 3 week 'Whole Hog' where we visited 10 cities, and all of our queries were answered by Euroventure before the trip and during the trip both quickly and efficiently. The fact that a travel pack was sent to us made the trip more enjoyable and less stressful as everything was sorted before we left - we had the most amazing time!! I would highly recommend Interrailing Europe and booking through Euroventure as a stress free way of enjoying an incredible journey!!"

What travelers are saying

"After an international trip was postponed for a third time due to COVID, my wife and I decided, last minute, to book a trip to Italy. We reached out to three self-drive tour companies, two of which - including VitorItaly - were less than half of the third quote. Ultimately we decided to go with Marcello because of his quote and responsiveness. With only a few weeks to book all of the accommodations and tours, Marcello got everything done and was very communicative throughout. We drove over 2200 km on our trip throughout Italy and Marcello booked a fantastic variety of lodgings: for example a country house near Pienza, a luxury hotel on the lagoon in Venice, and a country estate in Urbino surrounded by an organic farm and vineyard. At an olive oil mill nera Florence, we really enjoyed our time and our large order of fantastic tasting olive oil arrived yesterday. Ughetta was fantastic and gave us a great tour of their facility! Furthermore, while in Italy we could reach out to Marcello via WhatsApp and he continued to be incredibly responsive. Thanks Marcello!"

"We are now back in South Africa after our holiday in Czechia. I want to thank you for the well organised walking tour in Bohemia. It was a wonderful experience for our family and the scenery is really beautiful. I will recommend the experience to any one that is interested in this type of holiday. Our time in Prague was also wonderful. Thank you for the advice on the trams and money exchanges it was very useful. We had a great time in your beautiful country."
