Barbara M - Egypt
Our Inspiring Vacation to Egypt and Jordan was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. Our itinerary was jam-packed with wonders that were out of this world. We felt so privileged to see two of the 7 Wonders of the World on one tour - the Great Pyramid and the fascinating Petra. Our guides in Egypt and Jordan were very knowledgeable. Elia, who guided us through Egypt, is a qualified Egyptologist and extremely helpful. Raed guided us through Jordan including Amman, Petra and Wadi Rum. I cannot thank them enough for all the amazing experiences and insights into these countries and their culture.
Rosalia P - Antarctica
What an amazing experience! From Antarctica to our journey around South America, the trip explored culture and nature at its absolute best. Tour guides were passion about their countries; my favourite moments are etched in my memory and I will not forget anytime soon. The personal growth I have had embracing different cultures and the cherished memories are mine forever.
Loretta S - Finland
Our trip was spectacular. The unusually low temperatures brought loads of fresh snow and painted the prettiest landscapes I've ever seen. Perfect conditions to interact with the beautiful huskies at the husky farm. Unforgettable moments. Words and photos can't describe this holiday - you have to experience the landscape, culture and history of Scandinavia and Finland for yourself.
Kristy B - Turkey
Our vacation to Turkey was nothing short of magical. In Istanbul, we watched the sunrise between Europe and Asia, standing in awe instead the majestic Hagia Sophia. Floating above the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia in a hot air balloon felt like drifting through a dream. Along the turquoise coast, the sea shimmered endlessly. Every meal, every stray dog we pet, and every warm smile reminded us that Turkey is not just a destination - it's an unforgettable experience that stirs the soul.
Domenico P - Zimbabwe
Africa exceeded my expectations - what a truly inspiring experience where the people and stunning scenery captured from my heart! The itinerary and group size suited my travel plans and quality of accommodation; it was my first trip with Inspiring Vacations and I've already booked my second.
Rose E - Egypt
It's a place we have always dreamed of visiting. Seeing the pyramids of Giza in Egypt was a sight to behold and having the experience of a camel ride at the site made it all the more special. How inspiring to be so close to a 4500 year old wonder of the world. We celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary in this amazing country and Inspiring Vacations made it a reality for us. We have made many memories that will be with us for a lifetime.
Carol G - Sri Lanka
What a magical part of the world! Sri Lanka was a wonderful country - not affluent but people are happy and friendly. The history is incredible. And 2,000+ years ago Sri Lanka had civil engineering skills equal to the Romans! We've seen a fair chunk of the world but this was one of the best all-round holidays we've done.
Elizabeth G - Morocco
We had a fabulous group for travelling throughout Morocco, quickly becoming friends. We stopped out in the middle of nowhere where an amazing lunch was set up for us in a beautiful orchard, filled with wildflowers. Morocco was a beautiful country, with an amazing tour guide and group.
Myrim M - Cambodia
We stopped at a small marked in Cambodia where they were selling various edibles including frogs and insects. My brother took a liking to a grasshopper, much to the horror of some of the other travellers! He said they were actually quite good. I really enjoyed the Vietnam and Cambodia tour and can highly recommend Inspiring Vacations for an efficient and well organised tour that covers many interesting sites.
David N - Italy
I love this photo of my wife taking in all the beauty of Italy. First time on a tour and it was amazing and fulfilled a bucket list for us! My wife and I were two of four Americans and the rest of the group were from Australia and New Zealand - what a great bunch of people! We made life long friends.
Bruce P - Peru
Machu Picchu is truly a 'must see'. Pictures simply don't do it justice, particularly since it is the whole mountainous setting, and the trip to get there, that makes this site so awe inspiring. Our guide insisted on an early start, and it paid dividends with minimal crowds and great weather. Excellent local knowledge made this experience a forever memory. Inspiring Vacations took the difficulty and uncertainty about travelling to South America out of the equation. Everything was sorted for us and it all worked perfectly. Each and every guide was absolutely brilliant.
Jenny Y - Bolivia
At the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, our awesome guide Julia laid on her tummy and set our group of 9 dancing out of a packet of Pringles! Using forced perspective while filming created an optical illusion - making the Pringles pack look enormous and us very small. We had so many laughs creating videos and photos in this incredible landscape. We filmed others such as us being chased by dinosaurs and standing on top of wine bottles. It was such a fun group, with amazing sites, incredible new experiences, and learning so much about this destination.
