They’re a highly knowledgeable company about all places they go to, it’s currently not listed for unknown reasons but they travel to Iran (assuming it’s not to high risk, places like there can be unpredictable) and also North Korea, not listed presumably due to the country still being closed off to tourists

They’re fully booked for all Algeria the tours they’ve got planned this year, unless they add more, the next one with availability is this time next year, which is good, you don’t want to be going to countries that can get extremely hot in the summer, I wouldn’t want to book their July departure !

They’re a great company to travel with, no problems with them at all for me, I’m just thinking about which tour I should book next with them, Saudi Arabia looks good, but not at all cheap, especially as you’ve got no idea what type of hotels you’ll be in etc., but unfortunately the latter and many other countries in the Gulf are expensive, due to a lot of imports required for their day to day essentials

They’re also the obvious choice for the much harder to access countries that’ll hardly ever see tourists, you’ll be able to tell based on their countries list they travel to alone

Brilliant, thanks. Love hearing good stuff about companies like this. Would love to go to Iran, and with the benefit of my OH and I having Irish and Portuguese passports, visas are a lot easier. However, he travels to the USA a lot for work, so not ideal. Also timing to visit Iran right now isn’t exactly ideal either.

He has family in Venezuela, and that’s one on my bucket list… not that he has any desperate urge! Algeria would be great to dip our toe in to such a company, so may propose this for next year.

Thank you again.
