Had an amazing trip around 4 cities on the Silk Road in Uzbekistan with a superb group of fellow travellers and a fantastic guide, Bek.

The pre-trip information was detailed and accurate and all aspects of the itinerary were tailored to meet the needs of the group on the day.

Wild Frontiers are a highly recommended tour company and I would have no hesitation in using them again.

I recently returned from a trip to Albania with Wild Frontiers. It was a great trip, the itinerary was well thought through, we had lots of different types of activities all of which were interesting and enjoyable, yet I never felt hurried or rushed. Our guide was good humoured, accommodating and knowledgeable. We had the same driver throughout the trip he was a careful driver and I always felt safe with him at the wheel. Our fellow travellers were lovely and we had a great deal of fun and laughter . I would be happy to recommend both Wild Frontiers and Albania.

I have just returned from a trip to Algeria with Wild Frontiers, which was fabulous. Our guide was excellent and stayed with us throughout the trip. We really got to know the country and culture, something which Wild Frontiers do exceptionally well. I'm looking forward to travelling with Wild Frontiers again soon.

Just returned from a WF Silk Roads tour of Uzbekistan and we really enjoyed it. The tour planners gave us all the right information and the itinery was well thought out. The guide was excellent and well informed, the accomodation and travel well planned and of course, the country and its treasures spell binding.

I visited Uzbekistan with Wild Frontiers and had an excellent trip.
We visited 4 different cities and learned something new about the history of the country every day. Our guide Alex was incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful.
Most meals were included and the food was very good. Our hotels were all centrally located and were very comfortable and clean.

We were keen to visit Albania, but daunted by the idea of organising a trip which would include everything we wanted to see - mountains, archaeology and modern history, literally from one end of the country to the other. We’re so pleased that instead we opted for a Wild Frontiers tour, which took in everything on our list and so much more. Travelling in a small group (12), with an expert driver and a brilliant guide, we experienced, learnt and thoroughly enjoyed so much! Comfortable transport, stylish (and varied) hotel accommodation and fabulous food really enhanced the trip and our fellow travellers were a joy. We also greatly appreciate Wild Frontiers’ efforts to support responsible and sustainable tourism, working with reliable and like-minded local colleagues. Heartily recommend both the trip and the company and hope to travel with Wild Frontiers again.

My first trip with Wild Frontiers was amazing. I spent a week in Georgia travelling round with a great group of 12 and a friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide. Everything was well organised, food was fantastic (all included in the trip price) and accommodation was great. Will definitely travel with WF again and recommend them to others.

This 9 day trip on Uzbekistan's silk road was a fantastic tour. Covered four cities. A knowledgeable guide, wonderful boutique hotels and awesome food. Highly recommend it.

Wild Frontiers chooses its destinations, guides, and activities with great care. Its small groups and knowledgeable guides create in-depth experiences far beyond the capability of most organized tours. On my three Wild Frontiers trips, I have learned about history and culture, gotten out into nature, eaten well, rested comfortably, and had a wonderful time.

I recently finished a Wild Frontiers tour of Tunisia. I saw and learned more than I ever imagined when I originally signed up to go. Other tour companies I’ve traveled with have all done a nice job of giving you the basics about what you are seeing. But the major difference I’ve found with Wild Frontiers is on their trips they always take the extra steps to ensure that you really gain a genuine understanding of the people and places you are visiting. I have traveled six times with them and have never been disappointed. I’m looking right now for my next trip with them!

Wonderful tour in Northern Greece. Great varied itinerary with a great combination of the regions historical sites, culinary offerings, scenery and wildlife lead by a very knowledgable and passionate guide.

Wild Frontiers put together a thoughtful itinerary for us, which included hiking 7 stages of the Pekoe Trail, cultural visits to Hindu temples, Catholic churches and Buddhist stupas, ferries to the islands in Tamil country near Jaffna, train rides, food markets and cookery - finishing up at a luxury hotel on the beach near Galle. The wildlife was the highlight for us - seeing a leopard at dawn, a sloth bear rubbing his back against a tree and 120 different birds over our stay (3.5 weeks). The range of accommodation was excellent.

Fascinating country explored in a small group of 12 with an amazing guide, Nilufar. Details about life eg arranged marriages, divorce, education, and health care made the experience much richer. The homestay in the mountains was particularly relaxing and enjoyable with a walk, and having a local Takjic group encouraging everyone to dance to their music. Local people were so welcoming. Felt safe.

We had an absolutely amazing time in South East Asia. Wild Frontiers planned a 5 week trip that included Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. We had a rich agenda nearly every day filled with all of the "must sees" as well as deep cultural experiences with the local people. We cannot say enough how well we were taken care of by our guides, drivers and country managers as well as our travel agent back in the office. In addition, the hotels that were chosen were mainly boutique establishments that celebrated the local culture with design, decor, and food. Everyone was EXTREMELY accommodating. We could not recommend Wild Frontiers more highly if you want to get a true custom cultural experience while enjoying yourself at beautiful accommodations.

My second trip with Wild Frontiers was to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan - "Cities of the Silk Road".
With Ildar as our group Leader and then a different guide for Turkmenistan we were in great hands the whole time with these kind and knowledgeable men.
We saw a great deal in the 2 week trip including Samarkand and all its impressive buildings, and Turkmenistan and its slightly long winded border crossing process, onto the very strange and empty of people Ashgabat and of course the Darvaza Gas Crater.
I cannot recommend this trip enough to anyone considering doing it. Since returning last week I have booked another trip for next year with Wild Frontiers.

Had a great walking tour of Southern Albania. Beautiful country and walking in the southern mountains amongst the wild flowers was unforgettable. Our guide was equally fabulous leading the way on the trails and ordering the most amazing meals in the towns and cities we visited. Don't miss the chance to see Butrint.

We had a wonderful time seeing sites across a wide expanse of country and the transport for these was comfortable with friendly and competent drivers. Our tour guide, Bek, was patient, knowledgeable and friendly. Uzbekistan is full of colour and we were able to experience that and to understand the history and the events that brought the country to where it is. The buildings themselves were as stunning as the photos show and the small group enabled us to make the most of a wonderful experience. Wild Frontiers were prompt and clear with instructions and responses leading up to the trip engendering confidence in the process. I thoroughly recommend this company to anyone wanting to travel with ease and trust.

The description of the trip to Uzbekistan was very helpful and honest. We had a wonderful experience with our guide Nilufar. She was knowledgeable, organised, kind and funny. We had a group of 11 which worked very well for us socially and we had a lot of fun. Uzbekistan itself was welcoming, memorable, beautiful and thought provoking. My experience of the culture, history and people that we met along the way is something that will live with me and make me smile long into the future.

We did an individual Georgia trip with an amazing guide Tamar who showed us various parts of this fabulous country from the high Caucas mountains to Tbilisi as well as various religous and historical sites. We greatly enjoyed all aspects of the trip, loved the local food and really appreciated the trip program that fitted our needs perfectly. A huge thank you!

"Sri Lanka: Hidden Treasures of the Sacred Island” with Wild Frontiers

Sri Lanka offers many exceptional sites of cultural, historical, and religious interest, as well as fascinating landscape, flora and fauna.

This active, engaging tour provided a comprehensive Sri Lankan experience accompanied by a very knowledgeable and accommodating leader, Dammika, his helpful assistant, and a safe driver.

We visited amazing temples and fortresses, saw ancient ruins and stupas, explored rice fields and tea plantations, visited a village of drum-makers, and more. Every day we enjoyed local food -- several times in private homes -- sometimes with a cooking lesson.

Some challenging nature hikes and safaris, added to the variety of activities on this tour.
Transportation was mostly by bus, but we had an opportunity to bike and to take local tuk-tuks.

The highlights for me were: meeting and spending time with one of the oldest tribes in the world, the Vedda people, learning about and seeing ancient irrigation engineering, and seeing a sloth bear and water monitor lizard up close.

I highly recommend this tour with Wild Frontiers, Unforgettable!
