I enjoyed all aspects of the tour and learned so much about Irish culture and history. Friendly people, great guides, interesting sights. Brian Matthews, our main guide, shared a wealth of information in an engaging way. All of the other guides were great! Food and accommodations were fine. We had a nice balance of activities, some of which I wouldn't have done on my own: baking bread at the thatched cottage and Irish dancing. Those were nice respites from the seriousness of learning about the Troubles. As a result of this experience I have a greater understanding of and respect for Ireland and her people.

I really enjoyed this trip to Austria through Nanda Journeys! The places we visited were very interesting, and not the usual tourist stops. We enjoyed getting a real feel for the history, holiday celebrations and the foods of Austria. The hotels were very spacious and comfortable as well. I enjoyed shopping at the Christmas Markets, and wish we could have spent more time there roaming the shops than we did. Our guide Hemma was wonderful as well!

This trip exceeded my wildest expectations. I experienced the culture, wildlife, food, and geography of two areas so different from my own. The best part of this tour was the people. Nicola and Dominic led with knowledge, care and support. The group bonded quickly and added to the enjoyment. I will travel with Nanda Journeys again.

We loved this journey! We got to experience so many wonderful parts of Australia & New Zealand, learn about their history & culture, stayed in awesome local hotels, & ate yummy food. Nicola & Dominic were wonderful hosts & had local guides & drivers who provided additional insight into those 2 amazing countries' history & culture. Every detail was obviously carefully planned & journey unfolded flawlessly. Love Nanda Journeys. Our 5th journey with Nanda.

Dear Nanda Journeys Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for the phenomenal experience I had on the India Journey. From the moment I arrived and was welcomed at the airport to the day I was driven back for departure, every detail of the trip reflected such care, thoughtfulness, and excellence in planning. The accommodations were wonderful—comfortable, beautifully maintained, and staffed with kind and attentive people. Each day offered something special, from exploring the temples and parliament buildings to gaining a deeper understanding of India’s rich history and culture. The balance between sightseeing, cultural immersion, and professional exchange was perfect. Visiting the schools for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, as well as the school for children with multiple disabilities, was incredibly meaningful. It was humbling and inspiring to see the educators’ dedication and the students’ enthusiasm. The opportunities to engage in roundtable discussions about services in India and the United States made the experience even more valuable. Meeting with speech-language pathologists and audiologists, learning about the linguistic diversity of India, and sharing professional perspectives was one of the highlights of the trip. I also truly appreciated the moments of cultural connection—participating in yoga for the first time, visiting the Astronomical Discovery Center, and enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal with our gracious host and his family. Their warmth and hospitality will stay with me forever. Every part of the itinerary was beautifully organized, and the balance between professional, cultural, and personal experiences made this journey unforgettable. I returned home with a full heart, new insights, and a renewed sense of appreciation for the richness of India’s people and traditions. Thank you, Nanda Journeys, for an exceptional travel experience that truly deserves five stars. I look forward to future journeys.
