Responsible Travel: Reviews
Fantastic experience: This was a great trip. Learned and ended up with a beautiful mosaic. Ingi the teacher and host was amazing! Took us around, got to go to the local market, she cooked these amazing meals that even my friends thought they were from a restaurants and even had time to go to the beach and watch the sunset. I highly recommend this retreat.

Fantastic experience: July 24 - Myself and my daughter did the Camino Trail from Santiago to Cape Finisterre for 4 days. Bronagh and her team did a fantastic job in organising the accommodations, pick ups for the bags etc. They regularly stayed in touch just to see if there are any issues. The accommodations where excellent and it gave me an experience of a different side of Spain that I have not seen before. Great service

Fantastic experience: Our holiday with Responsible Travel to the Stockholm Archipelago was fantastic. Their local partner Nordic Trails had arranged everything perfectly and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. The islands we visited were all very different with beautiful unspoiled forests, beaches and wildlife. The walking routes and maps provided were excellent. Strongly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Best holiday I’ve ever been on! Just got back from a trip around South Africa and Eswatini. Nothing beats meeting local people, feeling connected to local culture, and feeling that the trip is in some way benefitting the community you are visiting. Never before has a holiday ticked these boxes so well. 10/10
So pleased to read such a wonderful review. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us.
Fantastic experience: I booked a holiday for tmb through this website. It was a great deal.

Fantastic experience: Responsible Travel connected us with India Footprints Adventure who arranged a 2 week holiday in India. We initially stayed in Courtyard House in Kanha which a 5 bedroom hotel and an excellent base for safari's locally with a very knowledgeable nature guide. We saw tigers, leopards, sloth bear etc. Being a small hotel the staff gave us personal attention with excellent catering. Then we spent a week in Kerala,which was also great with great food and left India without an upset tummy! Neelesh Agrawal takes excellent care of his clients. Thank you.
Hi there. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and share your photos. You had some amazing animal sightings and I am so pleased you were so well looked after.
Positive experience: If you are looking for a challenge with Spectacular views, amazing guides and an abundance of wild life and flora, Trekking and Cycling with travel Kalypso (Responsible Travel) is a must. A good level of fitness is required as the treks are wild and the cycling long (in mountains).
Hi Maxine. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us and your tip is very helpful for future travellers to Kerala. We look forward to helping you with your next adventure and please remember your loyalty discount!
Fantastic experience: Just had a fabulous cruise arrange with The Small Cruise Ship Company and Responsible Travel. The ship, The Majestic, was very comfortable indeed. Everything ran like clockwork, the weather was great and the people on board great fun. The Croatian islands are very pretty and there was a good balance of activities, swimming and relaxing. Highly recommended
Hi Jane. So pleased to read your review and thank you for taking the time to write it. Also delighted everything went to plan including the weather which is more difficult to control! Please remember your loyalty discount and we would love to help you with your next trip.
Fantastic experience: Responsible travel provided us with many options for holidaying. We wanted to have a self guided cycling trip and there a number that suited us we could choose from. Our Croatian 7 day trip was perfect, and we wanted one that took us to places that were a little off the main circuit that we could support some local businesses. I recommend them.
Hi David. We are so pleased to have your recommendation. Glad to help you get off the beaten track and all our trips are designed to help local communities and nature. We look forward to helping you with your next trip and please remember your loyalty discount.
Fantastic experience: Had an incredible 2 week holiday to South Africa and Eswatini, a massive adventure without any stress! Thanks Responsible Travel for planning such a wonderful itinerary and taking care of everything :)
Hi Rose. Thanks for your review and so pleased you had such a good trip and that we were able to make it stress free!
Fantastic experience: Had an wonderful time in South Africa and learned alot about the beautiful country. Had the chance to meet people and talk to them about their lives. Truly amazing experience visiting a game reserve seeing animals leading their natural lives.
Hi Rachel. Thank you for taking the time to write your review and we are so pleased you had such a good holiday.
Fantastic experience: A superb safari in the Kruger game reserve, which is the size of Wales! Brilliantly choreographed by Responsible Travel. Fantastic beasts, fantastic 5 star lodge; the holiday of a lifetime!
Hi Keith. Thank you for taking the time to write your review and share your photos. So pleased you had such a good trip
Fantastic experience: The most amazing and easiest holiday I’ve ever had. Thank you to the wonderful team at Responsible Travel for giving our family the holiday of a lifetime - all without us having to lift a finger.
Thank you so much Evie and it is so wonderful to know we have delivered your most amazing holiday. It makes us all feel very happy!
Positive experience: When someone travels from Ireland to Egypt you expect to be not responsible for environmental damage, as that is exactly what you are doing....flights, car miles, plastic bottles and expensive hotels with air conditioning and lots of laundry. So it is not responsible travel. The company though is an excellent resource for anyone trying to get a different experience and because of our trip, we are going to travel with Responsible travel again in the future. Kay
Hi Kay. Thanks for taking the time to write a review and I do hope you enjoyed your trip to Egypt. You highlight the core dilemma - we know that travel can be, and mostly is, damaging to the planet - we try to minimise this impact whilst trying to maximise the benefit to local communities and/or local nature. It is a tough balance we don't always get right but we look forward to helping you in the future.
Fantastic experience: We chose Responsible Travel as our travel partner because of their values to support local communities and the environment through mindful approaches to traveling. Now that we’ve used them to organize our recent cycling trip in Portugal, we can’t say enough good things about them! Thank you, Responsible Travel team, for helping us create such a wonderful experience!
Hi Renee. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review and share a lovely photo from your cycling trip. We are so pleased that you enjoyed it and that we were able to help you. We are here when you are ready to talk about your next adventure and please don't forget your returning customer discount!
Fantastic experience: This was our first experience booking through Responsible Travel. We found several interesting cycling holidays in Portugal on their website and they gave advice and sent us links to make contact with providers. We chose Cycling Holidays Portugal and Bert looked after us extremely well. Responsible Travel offer a wide range of holiday possibilities and we shall certainly be looking at them again.
Hi David. Thank you for your review which was lovely to read. We are really pleased that you liked our range of holidays and that you were so well looked after in Portugal by Bert. We look forward to helping you find the next one for you.
