We returned from China in November a month and considered our holiday full on but great value. China is an amazing experience and very clean. We were a group of four from NZ (age 65-70) in a group of 27 with a mix of ages. We did all the optional tours and consider the Terracotta Warriors in Xian a must do and would have preferred more time in Xian instead of visiting Zhengzhou or perhaps don't visit the Bejing Zoo which isn't great (although the surrounding park is very nice) and get to Xian earlier in the day so we could see a bit more o...Read more

First Time user of Trip - a - Deal, had a great trip but now becoming disappointed with the after service received from Trip - a - Deal with trying to retrieve a lost phone on a recent trip - Phone is with tour guide in Shanghai unable to return it to Australia many phone calls and emails with no positive outcome. No public relations with Trip - a - Deal, happy to take your money, give you a cheap deal and if something happens to go wrong - TOUGH LUCK. I will not give up until I have the safe return of my personal phone. Happy to review my comm...Read more

This was indeed a trip of a lifetime for ourselves and our 3 young adult daughters (18-22). We loved every minute of our tour. Vivek our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and professional but most importantly lots of fun with a great sense of humour. His organisation and timing was perfect and he tailored aspects of the trip to suit our group of only 9! We felt so safe in the capable hands of our driver Sanjeev, which is no mean feat in Indian traffic! India is a truly magical place with hospitable and friendly people even amidst the pove...Read more

I was a little disappointed with this tour.The biggest disappointment was the hotel situations,they were all a long distant from shopping or scenic locations. Tours taking at least an extra hour of travel to and from the hotels. Looking from my room window I was faced with squallied conditions ( rubbish etc locals living in madeup living area's ) this was a scene from 2 of the 3 hotels we stayed in. The area of these hotels made it dangerous to leave the hotel after dark.
The food was lacking variety in these hotels and did not cater for wester...Read more

We had the pleasure and satisfaction of experiencing 17 days touring feature Cities of Italy including a 7 day cruise on the MSC Magnifica around the Greek Islands.Everything went like clockwork and we relished some amazing cultures and historical features.Our main tour leader Simona was very helpful and knowledgeable as was Monia who guided us right through the Vatican. Francesco was very thorough as we toured Florence. Trip A Deal are blessed to have such professional folk representing them.
The first hotel we stayed at in Rome Occidental Ar...Read more

We are back from our 2nd tour with this company and it was just as successful as our previous experience
This time it was the 12 day 2 for 1 Borneo tour. Organization 10+. Went on night flight from Sydney and arrived in Kuala Lumpur hotel at about 8 am. Got checked in immediately (normal check in time 2 pm ) and had a good rest. Next day free day in K.L. and on 3rd day flight to Sandakan to be met by excellent tour leader. Next 9 days were very interesting and we were kept very busy with highlights Orangutan and Proboscis monkey sanctuaries, ...Read more

We just got back from TADs 2-1 Italy and Greece trip on 26/11/19.
It was low season and super cheap, around $3500 pp 17 Days. Which included a 7 day cruise on the Mediterranean on the MSC Magnifica ship.
My husband and I had a great time on this one. More so, than the trip I hated so much which was the Spain Portugal Morocco tour in August.
On this trip, Venice was a disaster zone so TAD and MSC changed their embarkation and return port to Trieste, 2hrs bus ride further north of Italy. And replaced Venice with the town of Verona. Everything w...Read more

Overall we enjoyed this late October/early November trip especially the history & architecture, the friendly people & the colour. But was not too impressed with some of the hotels especially as we had the premium package. The hotels in Delhi & Agra were fine but Bharatpur & Jodhpur were far from premium. In Bharatpur the room was dirty, the carpet stained, toilet seat broken, hot water for the shower if you were lucky. A tired poorly maintained place. In the Jodhpur hotel there was a lack of maintenance with bare wires sticking out of the toile...Read more

I booked the 10 Day India Colour Festival Mar 15 - Mar 24 2019 by Trip a Deal. Overall The trip did not fulfil the Itinerary requirements, mainly due to airline delay and in-country offerings. The trip did not live up to the premium package description. The brochure descriptions were deceptive. The International Transport component was appalling, we were three days late for the tour. The guide quality was poor. Hotels were generally poor and in absurd locations. The Colours Festival was a Hotel mock up. All this was passed onto Trip A Deal cust...Read more

On this Festivals of India tour it was apparent that the provider could not meet demand and as a result the quality of the accommodation was not consistent with expectations promised in the "Premium Package". There were not enough Premium Hotels to cater for the number of tourists, which at times resulted in some of us being housed in atrocious accommodation; whilst others received the quality for which everyone had paid. There is a great discrepancy spending two nights in a poor quality vegan(Totally) hotel, whilst friends stayed in an up-mark...Read more

We have just returned from a 15 day Trip a Deal to India. Unfortunately we can not recommend this tour for many reasons. Firstly, around 20 of the 29 people in our tour group got sick with severe stomach bugs. Two ladies had to have medical assistance as they were so unwell for several days. By the end of the trip, people were experiencing their second bout of illness. Since returning, we have received medication from our doctors. Everyone on the trip were well prepared in terms of medication, or so we thought! We were also all very cautious ab...Read more

china 12 Day 2 for 1
arrival at Beijing hotel from flight was at 1.30am of the first sightseeing day Forbidden City sight starting at 8am
Most days we were on bus from 8am to 6pm and on some days 8am to 10pm returning to hotel ( because it was so far out of the city)
hotel in shanghai was 1 and half hours drive out of city. spent most of the sightseeing day in traffic due to location of hotel not being central.
the great wall was the great square - even walking to the very top of an extremely steep incline, i could not see any wall continuing ...Read more

Two night at The Oaks Waterfront, The Entrance.

It was a huge disappointment to find the hotel room we got on arrival was that more than half of our balcony was facing a huge wall and no way like the advertisement. We asked if we could move to another room, we were told we have to pay extra. We were happy to pay extra for a room NOT facing a wall but were told nothing was available.
If we knew this was what we would get, we would not have booked through Tripadeal.
It is for my partners birthday surprise... not a very nice surprise to find t...Read more
