Had a wonderful experience with Trips and Tales on the Kazakhstan trip! 🇰🇿✨ Beautiful destinations, stunning views, and an amazing group of people made it truly memorable. The trip was filled with laughter, fun, and new friendships. The only suggestion would be to add a few more days to explore Kazakhstan at a more relaxed pace and cover a little more. Overall, a lovely experience and memories to cherish! ❤️

A wonderfully curated trip in and around Almaty. The snow capped mountains, turquoise blue waters and deserted canyons made this itinerary a mix of diverse landscapes. The road trips with little to no one on either side while we sang to some amazing desi and videsi beats was a surreal experience. The people of Kazakhstan are as warm as the friends that I made during this trip. Do try the Chicken Samsa, Kazakh chai and the Beshbarmak. Out trip leader, Aditi, made sure we came out of our comfort zones and gelled so well with us that by mid of the trip we could not see the leader within her but only a friend.

Had an amazing experience with TnT in Kazakhstan! 🇰🇿✨ The itinerary was perfectly planned, and our trip leader, Aditi, was absolutely amazing. Had a fantastic bunch of people to explore Kazakhstan with, making the entire experience even more memorable. Honestly, even 6 days felt like 6 hours! 😂❤️ Would definitely request TnT to plan longer trips now because we just weren’t ready for it to end! 😉

I signed up for a six-day trip to Kazakhstan, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The trip was made even more memorable by the lovely people from Maharashtra I had the pleasure of travelling with. It was a great mix of beautiful experiences, good company, and lasting memories.

I wasn't very happy with the itinerary because it was changed later, and many places that were originally expected were either removed or made optional. Even when some places were included, we had to reach those destinations on our own, which meant spending extra on transportation as well as entry tickets. Considering the budget, I felt the trip was much more expensive than expected because internal transportation within the cities wasn't included. We ended up paying for that separately, which made it feel like we were managing the trip on our own rather than being part of an organized group tour. There were too many leisure days, and it felt like almost half of the trip was just free time. This trip was memorable to me because of the people and the place (Spain). There were points where our team leader has helped us, I genuinely appreciate that.

Our trip to the Philippines with Trips N Tales was honestly one of those vacations we’ll remember for a long time! From the beautiful beaches and breathtaking views to all the little experiences in between, everything came together so perfectly. What we loved most was that we could simply enjoy our holiday without constantly worrying about bookings, transfers or what to do next. The planning was thoughtful, the stays were comfortable, and the overall coordination was really smooth. The Trips N Tales team was always approachable and quick to help whenever we needed anything, which made us feel well taken care of throughout the trip. We got to explore, relax, have lots of fun and make some amazing memories along the way. It genuinely felt like a holiday rather than a hectic trip. Thank you, Trips N Tales, for helping us create such a beautiful Philippines experience. We’re definitely keeping you guys in mind for our next adventure!
