Reviews
"Everyone had a most enjoyable holiday, not bad for a party of nine. The arrangements were all as expected, locations, hotels and especially travel arrangements and drivers, which were very good indeed. I am not a smart phone user but most others were and Vamoos got a big following, a real success. Your information beforehand, timings during the two weeks and overall setting of expectations proved excellent. Thank you for all that and please accept my thanks for your professional, knowledgable and genuinely helpful approach that provided us with such an enjoyable holiday. I will certainly recommend Rediscover to others."
