First, we found the trip to be wonderful.
The hotels we stayed at were all first class, we would not hesitate to stay at any of them again. All of them had very nice rooms with comfortable beds, and excellent breakfasts in the morning. The staff at each were also quite helpful. The rooms were all exceptionally clean.
The game drives we took were great, and the tours for the falls were also really good. All of the tour people we came in contact with were first class, and understood their jobs quite well.
The whole package was just excellent. We are so glad that we went, and with the quality that was provided, we are certainly going to strongly consider using them when we take another adventure

It was my intention to pass on some 'notes' to you. I think I'm now back in this time zone - ha! Having been in the travel industry for 25+ years, I know how important feedback is to a company.
Mostly, I want to say that we had a fabulous time in Turkey and most things were beyond our expectations! The transfers went fairly smoothly, All were on time. The transfer out of Istanbul was handled by a woman by the name of Mary and she was fabulous - very informative and kind.
We enjoyed our stay at the Divan Hotel in Istanbul very much (what wasn't to like; they upgraded us to a suite). The tours were OK, but, I think you need to tell passengers that the first day is a 'walking' tour of the attractions and maybe difficult for someone with physical limitations. Also, we were not transferred back to hotel. Only people who were on a full day tour where transferred back to the hotel. The tour on the 2nd day was good and while they didn't deliver everyone back to their hotel, they did drop off people in the vicinity of their hotel and were nice enough to drop us off back at the Spice Market.
The Yunak House was fantastic! Wow, what a place! We had a 'not so great' room the first night and my husband went and talked to the manager. They arranged for us to be moved the following day into a wonderful room, so that was very nice. Everyone there was beyond helpful and kind. Our tour of Capadoccia was incredible! Our tour guide, Mehmet, was perhaps one of the best I have ever had. I cannot say enough about him or the tour. Both were exceptional!
All-in-all, we had an extremely great time in Turkey. The people are warm and hospitable, the food is remarkable and there is so much to do and see. We only grazed the surface of Istanbul so there is no doubt that we would like to return and dig a little deeper into the city.
Thank you for all of your help and we will highly recommend Travel Discounters to everyone!
Best regards

Binod, thank you for patiently helping us last month (March, 2021) navigate our pre-trip trials and tribulations. It was definitely worth the effort!
We felt so fortunate to have Amro Ghanem as our guide from Luxor through Aswan. He was so pleasant and knowledgeable and made the Nile Valley portion of our tour just incredible. We felt as though we made a new friend. He mentioned knowing you so I thought I would pass along how much we enjoyed his guidance in particular.
Kareem also was amazing while we were in Cairo. Very friendly and also very knowledgeable.
Thank you once again for your kind assistance in helping us visit Egypt!

Did the best of Egypt that included Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Nile cruise.... Even with a cancelled flight from Chicago to Vienna, I can't say anything negative.
We were met in Cairo and taken care of the entire trip. Hotels was beautiful, buses were comfortable and roomy, tours and tour guides were amazing. Never felt unsafe.... Cruise was perfect.
Will recommend the trip to friends!

Hello Junior,
Please extend our greetings to Binod and we want to thank you both for an amazing journey on our trip to Egypt last month, March 2021.
From the time we landed until we left, we never waited for anything and everyone on destination was amazing. They made special accomodations for Russell and allowed us to see more sites.
The flights, the cruise ship and all excursions were A+ and seem like a dream now. I cannot believe we went on such an amazing adventure and you all made it possible.
Please make sure that everyone knows how much we appreciate our guide Saber, who was amazing and enjoyable to be around. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were cared for and is a great asset to any traveler. We were sad when we had to depart his company and fly back to Cairo. He's a very special person.
We also appreciated Walid and 'Abdul 1' as he called himself in Cairo for the assistance from arrival to departure.We always felt comfortable and safe each day we were there.
We saw so much in our week and just want to make sure that we thank everyone.
Best Regards,

Travel discounters did an incredible job of putting together an outstanding African safari and Victoria Falls travel package. All of our accommodations were first class. We had someone watching over our travel needs the entire trip. Our stay at the Shiduli Safari Lodge was a once in a lifetime experience. We had 4 safaris with our expert guide Evan's. We saw the big 5 the first day! The rooms were extremely comfortable and the meals were delicious.
Victoria Falls was beyond belief. We saw both the Zambia and Zimbabwe sides. In May the water level was at a high so the falls were raging. You must wear rain gear and water shoes because you will be soaked.
Binod took good care of us. All travel materials were given to us upon booking so there were no surprises. The only negative is the flights to and from Johannesburg were extremely tiring between the long flights and long layovers.
This trip was probably one of the top 5 trips we have ever taken. I would highly recommend it!

My family and I had an amazing time on our Greece/Turkey cruise/trip! The trip went as scheduled, without a hitch. We were picked up and dropped off as planned. The tours in the package were great! We had wonderful tour guides, and each of them was very informative. The tours were enjoyable and we were able to immerse ourselves in the history and culture. Each place that we visited was so different and had something wonderful to offer. My family and I agreed that this was the most enjoyable trip we've had together in a long time.
Pros: Great tours. Itinerary followed as planned. The Santorini Palace hotel was very nice.
Cons: The cruise ship and the Polis Grand Hotel (in Athens) was a little outdated.
Overall, an amazing trip and would highly recommend

We had a good time. Our drivers Hasan in Tanzania and Jacob in Kenya were nice and helpful. All the accommodations and transport were good. Food was good in all the places. There was delay in the flight from Chicago, hence they gave us seat in United and flew directly to Paris.
Thank you again. Will recommend you to our friends.
P.S: We were able to see all the animals, and the big 5. And 16 lions close by!

Thank you for making our African adventure a once-in-a-lifetime experience. To say it was a memorable trip is an understatement.
We felt incredibly safe at all times and definitely could not have managed to plan such an intricate itinerary ourselves. From Capetown to Victoria Falls, we were impressed with the luxury, the people and the price!
We've already recommended you to friends and family - Looking forward to planning our next holiday together.

This tour delivered far more than I expected, right from the minute we stepped off of the plane!

Right from the minute we stepped off the plane we were greeted by an exceptional BlueSky representative. Hotel and Cruise were excellent. Daily agendas were well planned. The staff on the cruise went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and our needs met.

I just wanted to tell you how fabulous our trip to India was and thanks again for your help!

We really enjoyed having our own little car with a driver and guide for the week. It was a wonderful glimpse of this part of India, our recollections of the elephants, the cows, the camels, the traffic and the forts and antiquities will remain near the top of our experiences.

All in all it was a very memorable nature & cultural experience!

We had a great time. Very scenic area. Weather was sunny & nice & wildlife sightings were great.....we even saw the white spirit bear. It was the lodge's first sighting of the year & Kathy was the first to spot it from the boat. The staff was very friendly, welcoming & accommodating.
