Amazing Trip

An absolutely amazing trip. We both said that our experiences on Guraidhoo meant it felt like we travelled not just went on holiday.

Very friendly and helpful service from this company. A very knowledgeable and experienced travel consultant dealt with our plans, he was able to offer various options and prices for our trip and was very efficient in sending us full details and booking confirmations. Would highly recommend "Our Local Tour" services.

Costa Rica Bike Tour

06-Dec-2024

Amazing tour in Costa Rica on an electric bike. The group was really friendly and we are still all in touch. We loved everything about Costa Rica!

Helen  

Two memorable parts!

06-Dec-2024

The are two memorable parts to our trip (1) visiting the Temple de Python in Ouidah, Benin and having a Royal Python draped around my neck. I've had a phobia of snakes for many years, but decided this was the time to conquer it (2) the Zangbeto voodoo dance. This was a very diverse adventure, with many different activities.
