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.

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

We have just left Qatar after an unbelievable World Cup adventure with the World of Discoveries team, led by Varya, Mike & Nathan. After my great 2018 experience with them at the Russia World Cup, I knew I was in safe hands, but I couldn’t have imagined just how good this Qatar trip turned out to be. We had a blast from start to finish … football, parties, camels, dune bashing, and more football. Just awesome.

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!
