Hi we had an amazing experience. Absolutely loved it!! The experience was seamless. The details are correct for transportation. LA here we come! Only 1 hr flight but I will use wofdi for accommodation and tickets! Thank you.

Heath Marcus

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!

A huge thank you to Varya and the team for making our World Of Discoveries Tour for 2018 World Cup amazing! They made every moment count with organised tours, accommodation and socialising. A great bunch of people to travel with. Even went extra mile and managed to secure a ticket we were missing for one game. Was wonderfully a little surprised at the detail the tour operators covered in making our trip incredible! I would highly recommend this company!

Germany - Australian Open

I traveled to the Australian Open with WofDi and was thoroughly impressed with the organization of my tour. The team at WofDi are true professionals who know their business inside and out. Any question or issue I had was addressed swiftly, showcasing their commitment to excellent customer service. They ensured that aside from the tennis, everything else was taken care of, allowing me to focus solely on enjoying the event. I’m grateful for such a hassle-free experience and will definitely be traveling with WofDi again!

We had an amazing experience in New Zealand! Everything is tailored to what we want and like! After a short conversation Varya knew exactly what to offer! We saved so much time and money booking with her, instead of trying to look ourselves and then getting disappointed. cannot recommend enough. Will be back
