“WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE”
I HAVE JUST BOOKED MY THIRD TRIP WITH DISTANT JOURNEYS AND I THINK THEY ARE A WONDERFUL COMPANY. FROM THE BOOKING, WHICH CAN BE PERSONAL AND HELPFUL WITH REAL PEOPLE, THROUGH TO THE TRIP ITSELF . THEY ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL AND THEY MAKE YOU FEEL SPECIAL AND CONFIDENT THROUGHTOUT. I HAVE TRAVELLED ON THEIR 'ORDINARY' TOURS ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING ORDINARY ABOUT THE TRIPS, ITINERARY'S, HOTELS, EXPERIENCES AND THEIR SOLO'S TOURS. MY EXPERIENCES HAVE BEEN FIRST CLASS WITH DISTANT JOURNEYS, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY NEXT TRIP NEXT YEAR AND WOULD DEFINITELY USE THE FOR ANY FURTHER EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME TRIPS AND I RECOMMEND THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY. THANKYOU
“Very quick and efficient booking service.I did what i wanted.”
“Personal service”
I spoke to one agent throughout the booking process. She listened to my requirements, answered all my questions and although I took a day to consider my options, I spoke to the same agent to confirm the booking and pay the deposit. A small point, but one that matters.
“Very efficient, Shona friendly and informative”
“Helpful Service”
Helpful service, easy to deal, fast and simple, would highly recommend. Hopefully be booking again with them in the near future.
“Solo tour to India”
I submitted a request for a quote Jack phoned me prior to quote being sent out and he answered any queries I may have them sent quote for me to review. This was followed up by Denise who again answered all my queries. Both agents were excellent in explaining everything about the trip I wanted. HavevtravelleddwithDistant Journeys previously so had no hesitation in booking with them again.
At Distant Journeys, we only deal in the extraordinary
Just like life, journeys aren't measured in miles or destinations, but in the stories you gather, the friendships you form, and the memories and connections that stay with you forever.
That's why we always strive to go far beyond a holiday. We craft meaningful experiences that change perspectives and open hearts and minds. Then we deliver them with a dedication and attention to detail that you simply won't find elsewhere.
Whether you're realising a life-long dream, celebrating a milestone or simply escaping the everyday, we aim to take you far beyond your expectations of what travel can offer.
Every friendly face, every good night's sleep, every step... matters. It all adds up to create journeys that are truly out of the ordinary.
