Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs W on honeymooner from Oxford
Overall impression of our trip
On this trip, I visited Tanzania & Zanzibar between 10-Aug-2009 and 23-Aug-2009 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We really loved our trip. I think we were both surprised particularly as to how much we thoroughly enjoyed the safari part of the trip, even though we thought we'd be really tired after our wedding.
The advice we received before we booked was so helpful as we really had no idea what we wanted to do and speaking to someone who had visited all the places and could answer even the smallest queries was really helpful and helped us to make a really good choice of trip. And it also meant that when we arrived, everything was as we expected and there were no nasty surprises!! The website was really helpful - we found all the reviews from people who had recently travelled to the places was really helpful as well to help us make our decision, and the descriptions about each place were very thorough.
It was the first time we had used a travel agent to book an entire trip and it was so good - everything worked so well. All the details we received before we travelled was very helpful and thorough and made it easy for us to check that everything was booked as we had discussed. During our trip all our transfers were there to pick us up on time and all the hotels expected us when we arrived - it was all very efficient.
Suggestions for improvements:
I don't think I can think of anything you could do better!
Thank you for helping us organise a wonderful honeymoon!
