Seeing the World Differently Since 1984

excellent holiday

Excellent - Jo Sehgal was most helpful dealing with our various questions & requests for extra excursions knowledgeably & promptly

Brilliant itinerary.

Great itinerary and knowledgeable staff to help tailor it to our needs.

Norway trip

Generally very good with a few hiccups through arranging the holliday

Excellent as always

Made a personalised holiday of a life time!

Family holiday to West Coast of Canada.
Discover the World were fantastic yet again (4th time and getting even better). The agent who helped us (Doug) was incredibly knowledgeable of Canada and not only helped with the general itinary but also made some amazing suggestions that made the holiday truely unforgettable . We would not have thought of the locations or experiences on our own.

Also appreciated the speed in which we got help with some minor last minute questions.

Highly recommend and will be back......but where too????

Tailored to our needs

Great Iceland tour

Well planned trip with good easy car hire. Hotels were all of a high standard.
The agents answered all our queries and made sure my wife who is gluten intolerant with coeliac disease was able to eat comfortably in all the hotels.
We found the forest walks near Egilsstadir difficult to find following your instructions but eventually found some walks at the Hotel Hallormsstadur so all was ok. We found going to Hrisey island a delight of birds and flora. Worth a mention in your itinerary?
We drove round the peninsula north of Blonduos. Big mistake gravel roads for miles!
Hveragerdi was also a delightful town with a great little geothermal park and geyser. Better than the one at Geyser!
Overall a great holiday.

Scandinavia experience

The organisation and the vouchers made it easy to navigate our experience. However, arriving in Helsinki on 21 June could have been a disaster, it is the summer solstice and a lot of Helsinki, especially the restaurants, were closed. We had not anticipated this. Fortunately we had details of a restaurant that was open but busy!

Norway

Excellent, knowledgable adviser who had been to the area recently.

Fabulous Spitsbergen adventure cruise

Friendly, helpful and efficient. Lots of knowledge on Arctic and Scandinavia

Well organised & fabulous adventure try

Really appreciated all the efforts of DtW in putting our trip together. They listened to what was important to us and organised a fabulous adventure. It went like clockwork

Islands and cities of Norway

Ben was very helpful and patient devising our perfect trip. Each refinement we added was completed with efficiency and politeness.

Friendly, helpful knowledgeable staff,everything went according to plan.

Great holiday

Discover the World organised a brilliant holiday for us with great hotels.

A great company to choose

Answered all our questions thoroughly. Good to speak to a human for the booking process. All documents were complete and arrived on time.

Brilliant service

Fantastic service in all respects. Brilliant advice, all aspects of the holiday were excellent and every stage I was confident that DTW were in control and kept me fully informed.

Scandinavian Adventure

First class throughout. Excellent hotels and good advice on travel arrangements, things to see

Iceland road trip

Very impressed with the service we received, all the team we dealt with at Discover the World were really helpful and I felt they really cared about us and our holiday.

Perfection somewhat disrupted by weather

The Discover the World representative showed a good understanding of New Zealand and matched my specific requirements to what is available.

It is unfortunate that the weather was very bad, with a record amount of rainfall for April and storms with high winds which prevented boat trips. The date of the trip was due to my own time constraints, but without those I hope a different month would have been suggested.

Staying at Awaroa Ledge was delightful. Unfortunately of my 4 days there the boats were unable to put to sea for 2, so preventing walking sections of the coast path. Also when the Autumn timetable was introduced it was hard to walk most sections because the northbound boats were at the end of the sequence (so late starts) & the southbound followed them quickly (early finishes), so choosing a section for a linear walk was difficult. I recommend restricting use of Awaroa to summer boat timetable only.

The other long stay of my trip was Coromandel and I would love to go back there. Again the weather restricted my activities, but I can see there would be much pleasure in visiting many beaches, enjoying walks, and using the boats to reach places inaccessible by land - again all boats were harbour bound for the week I was there due to weather conditions.

Being a single traveller I found a friendly reception where the accommodation was small, but felt lonely in the 2 large hotels of the trip. Having said that I found New Zealanders very friendly and welcoming.

Adventure, Exploration and comfort.

Efficient service. Knowledgeable staff. Travelled to Iceland, Finland and Svalbard booking through D the W.
Amazing trips
