everyone involved on the ground it would be much harder to manage”

Kirill and family, Thailand, December 2023

“The Chai Lai homestay was one of THE BEST experiences any of us have ever had and we were a little emotional to leave this afternoon. Sunny and Mumu were amazing guides and hosts and told us with passion how the Chai Lai have helped their community and the elephants rescued from Myanmar... I think yesterday was the best, learning about the jungle & local culture whilst hiking and then staying at their little cabin & having the best food of our stay so far plus an evening sat around the campfire with them”

Chrissy and family, Thailand, December 2023

with itinerary and logistics taken care of. This is what you gave us and we will remember

Rob, Thailand, August 2023

“There was so much. Waking up on the first morning and seeing a volcano outside the window. Rio Dulce area and the journey down the gorge to the Carribbean. The journey down the river to Las Guayacamas surrounded by thousands of yellow butterflies. Watching dawn break at Tikal”

Lyndsay and family, Guatemala, July 2023

Christine and Ozhan, Colombia, May 2023

“I'm used to organising holidays myself but as I don't have much time, I really appreciated having your guidance and support. For me, it is great that I don't have to think about all the arrangements considering that I'm travelling alone with the kids.”

Misa and sons, Thailand, April 2023

Hannah and family, Thailand, April 2023

Helen and Adam, Cambodia, April 2023

“I know this has been a long journey for yourselves and us - with covid etc. I was concerned it wouldn't live up to our expectations but it surpassed them.

"Everything ran smoothly, all the guides were totally amazing. We feel that the itinerary you organised gave us a lovely mix of activities and different experiences so we definitely got the most out of our time in Costa Rica. We really couldn’t have asked for anything more!"

Abigail, Costa Rica, December 2022

"Throughout, all the communications with yourself, itinerary, the travel arrangements, transfers, standard of accommodation and the knowledge of the guides were all excellent and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this trip to anyone….Thank you so much for all your help and patience with organising the best adventure - I will really miss our chats!"

"Our guides were fabulous! We really can't say enough good things about Arth, who looked after us during our time in Siem Reap… He's friendly, helpful, clearly loves his country and his work, has boundless knowledge, excellent English, and goes out of his way to make you want to return to Cambodia. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we did with him including Davide's first experience eating insects."

Andy's group tour, Costa Rica, November 2019

Lynne and Lawrence, Thailand, March 2019

"Taking a chance on a travel agent in another country took a leap of faith. So if you are reading this I urge you to take that leap and use this company. The trip they gave us was a trip of a lifetime. The places we stayed, the things we did we never would have found on our own and now we have these wonderful memories... On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 15."

"I was very impressed with the wildlife knowledge of the guides."

Chris and Carolina, Costa Rica, December 2018

“By far the best guides we had were Niracha and Nanney while in Chiang Mai. They treated us like family and even participated in the wedding ceremony. They even used their own money to provide a wedding present and help with luggage issues. Out of all my trips I’ve never been treated so nice.”

Richard and Rachel, Thailand, December 2018

“Taksin, our guide, was just the right person. He answered my many questions and added so much of his own, but he also knew when to back down and just let us be. Please pass on my deep appreciation to him...
“On top of all the great experiences, views, animals and people - I had quality time with my daughter. What more can I ask for?”

Noa and Maayan, Thailand, December 2018

Carol and Colin, Ecuador, December 2018

““We had an amazing time. It was absolutely fabulous. Everything we had hoped for - and more. Logistically - it was unbelievably smooth.

Reggie and Maik, Vietnam and Laos, November 2018

“Art took us around Siem Reap and was wonderful. As we were just a couple doing a private tour he struck the perfect balance of being chatty and friendly but also giving us some time to ourselves. Generally just a very lovely man who was very knowledgeable and a great guide.”

Holly and Charles, Cambodia, October 2018

“Galapagos was incredibly good. Like National Geographic in real life.”

Neslihan and Osman, Ecuador and Guatemala, September 2018

Tracey and family, Thailand, August 2018

“Difficult to see how you would improve it.”

Angelique and family, Costa Rica, August 2018

“Before the holiday even started I knew it was going to be fantastic, booking with you was like chatting to a friend to organise a holiday. You went out of your way on more than one occasion ... we will be recommending you to anyone who wants a special experience and intend to use you again in the future.”

Sophie and family, Costa Rica, August 2018

“The wildlife was outstanding - egg-laying turtles on the Caribbean coast; whales and dolphins in the Pacific and the plethora of monkeys, sloths, birds, lizards and snakes. However, what our boys really remembered was our white-water rafting experience which was exhilarating.”

Andy and family, Costa Rica, August 2018

“There were many highlights - including watching a Green Turtle laying eggs, spotting the rare Splendid Quetzal, snorkelling with fish and turtles off Cano Island and watching the abundant wildlife including 2 species of sloth. Visiting Los Campesinos and talking to the local hosts was especially memorable…….The standard of the guides was excellent and trip was varied and fascinating. It was very well put together by Beyond Tourism.”

I met the children at their school/home supported by Joy's House, incredible to say the least.”

Carrie, Thailand, February 2018
