We cannot speak more highly of the way our Italy tour was prepared. The attention to detail was spot on. Our car drivers and local guides throughout the tour were very professional and we enjoyed their company.

I and several close friends undertook an Around The Sun trek through the Upper Mustang region of Nepal. The trip was a fascinating and life enhancing experience. Put a trek like this on your must-do list!

The Around the Sun trek I did through Mustang was a terrific experience and one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. I'd happily repeat the experience or try another of Around The Sun's trips.

I first found out about Around the Sun Travel by word of mouth. Well I wasn't disappointed. It offered everything I had been looking for. I felt so privileged to be a part of this very personal journey.

Around The Sun created an extraordinary adventure to a land beyond time and it stayed with me in a strongly visceral sense long after my return to Australia. I loved every moment of it.

There are so many reasons I would recommend ATS and the Great Ocean Road tour to anyone who would like to visit Australia! I couldn't have asked for anything better!
