Australia Getaways & Staycations

Australia - World Cup 2018

I am a Sydney-based journalist who travelled to the 2018 World Cup with World of Discoveries. Following is my review of that fabulous experience ... What a trip ... the World Cup, five cities, amazing camaraderie, and great tour leadership against the background of one of the globe’s most amazing countries ... Russia. My World Cup tour with World of Discoveries was one of the great experiences of my travel life. The World of Discoveries team provided a wonderful platform with an itinerary both practical and flexible. The local tours in each of the venue cities - Moscow, Kazan, Samara, Sochi and St Petersburg were informative and, importantly, fun. Considering the accommodation pressures created by the huge influx of Cup tourists, the hotels selected by World of Discoveries were more than adequate. Special mention goes to the Grand Hotel Tchaikovsky In St Petersburg. The tour leadership provided by the company was both expert and considerate. Importantly each traveller’s individual enjoyment and safety appeared to be the paramount consideration. This World Cup holiday was meant to be a “once-in-a-lifetime” experience for me but I am now planning for the next Cup. Bring on 2022 in Qatar

Australia - World Cup 2022, Qatar

I recently toured Qatar during the World Cup with Varya and Mike’s team at World of Discoveries. The experience over three weeks was first class. Varya and her team nailed the detail for every aspect of the trip from planning and booking through to the actual travel, tours, sightseeing, transport, accommodation and ticketing to games. They were always accessible to deal with any issues that arose and went the extra mile to ensure the travelling group was happy, organised and safe. And they throw a mean party. I would not hesitate to recommend World of Discoveries for trips of a lifetime.

USA - Paris Summer Games 2024

Booked our trip to the Paris 2024 Olympics with World of Discoveries and have been exceptionally pleased with the experience and customer service. WOD created a a customized pre-trip excursion to Normandy for tours of the D-Day Beaches and Mont St Michel, as well as a week-long stay in Paris for the games, and drivers/transportation arranged for all our transfers. When our original hotel was bought out by one of the Olympics delegations, WOD seamlessly booked us at another (upgraded) location with no issues. Communication was easy and effective by email, and our in-country representatives during the games were proactively in touch regarding transfer information or to help answer questions. I had not used WOD prior to this experience, but will definitely do so for our next big adventure!
