Feedback from our Travellers

  • We had a fabulous holiday in Madagascar and enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much for arranging such a fantastic itinerary. We liked all the accommodation which was much better than we expected. All local guides were very good, we especially enjoyed the night walks and the many animals we saw. We were charmed by the Malagasy people, always smiling and friendly despite crying poverty and material hardship.

  • Eritrea is a hidden travel gem – I encourage you to go NOW! A fascinating mix of cultures, Asmara as a capital city is unique in Africa. Thomas, our local guide, was one of the best I have encountered, and the Eritrean people were among the nicest I have ever met – and I have been to more than 110 countries!

  • One of my latest discoveries is this British tour company that puts together group and independent tours to all sorts of exotic places. I’m a big fan now after they constructed an outstanding sweep across three tricky countries for me – Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia (Somaliland). When I was hit with more than one airline schedule change (forcing a day less here, a day more there), they quickly and happily worked out fine solutions.

  • We loved Georgia and Armenia and can only wonder why more people don’t visit. The itinerary was well put together and gave us the opportunity to see as much as possible without feeling rushed. Guides in both countries were excellent and real ambassadors for the region.

  • All staff are always extremely helpful and do their best to accommodate requests and requirements. Trips undertaken are ALWAYS exceptional so, although costs can be saved going elsewhere, I wouldn't go elsewhere as I trust UD to deliver an incredible experience. I've been using UD for many years and have several more trips already booked for this year and next.

  • Our guide for the Silk Road, Elyorbek Khatamov, was the best one we have ever had. His knowledge of the culture and history was excellent. He was also very helpful in advice as to what to do and where to go in the time we were not wih him. Selecting a single guide for the entire trip rather than a different guide in each city was very good for us.
