Finally a trip to the bazaar for shopping! Day ended with a fun water fight between all thre Prestige buses. a real laugh and prepare to be soaked!!! Great value for money.”

“The guide speaks english very poorly. He speaks basic basic english, but sometimes it was hard to understand the sentences he was saying. He was talking in german most of the trip which annoyed me a little bit, because i booked an english guide. The drive was ok, the bazaar very busy and crowded, I think they gave us too little time there. The boat was also ok.”

“De activiteit naar de waterval was prima alleen alles er omheen was veelste lang. Waardoor de activiteit veel langer duurde dan de 7 uur die doorgegeven was. Als we dit van te voren hadden geweten dan hadden we dit op eigen houtje geregeld. De reisleider was verantwoordelijk voor 4 bussen, vanwege alle lange pauzes wilde wij en het grootste gedeelte van de deelnemers de laatste stop naar de bazaar skippen om weer terug naar het hotel te gaan.

“Absolutely Unreliable – Driver Never Showed Up This was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. The driver simply never arrived. No call, no message, no explanation—just a complete no-show. I was left stranded and had to scramble to make other last-minute arrangements, which cost me both time and money. Completely unacceptable and incredibly unprofessional. I do not recommend this service to anyone who values reliability.”
