Our reviews

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!

Tillie Stephen

Australia - 2024 Euro

Not only the Euro 2024 final game but the whole trip was amazing, the team at World of Discoveries did an amazing job looking after every detail making it 100% trouble free, they were totally committed to making it the best experience possible Thanking you from the bottom of my heart. Many thanks again Lina and Barbara you have been very professional to deal with and 100% will be hoping to work with you again.

Juan Ramirez

USA - World Cup 2022

Do not hesitate to book, World of Discoveries comes through! This was my very first time using a travel agency to book any sort of trip. And this being not just any ordinary trip, but a World Cup experience, I was a bit hesitant. Many doubts on my mind. Would they come through with the match tickets, airline tickets, transfers, booking of hotels, will there someone there available for the hotel transfers or just to answer a question I have at anytime during the trip? World of Discoveries came through like CHAMPS! All my airline tickets, match tickets and hotel reservations were taken care of. There was always someone at the airport or hotel ready to greet me for transfers. There was always more than one person available via telephone or a text message away. They really did an excellent job at organizing everything. It was a worry-free experience with them. Special shout-out to Irena who was our manager based in Dubai. She always made sure we were taken care of and even hosted special events for us. I am glad I chose them for my World Cup experience and would not hesitate to use them again. Excellent service!

Chris Balogh

Australia - World Cup 2018

These guys has made my World Cup dream a reality and also provided a spectecular tour of Kazan, Samara & Sochi along the way! The team who made it happen were fantastic, organised, attentive and even fulfilled requests like having window seats on all 3 of my domestic flights not to mention the smooth transportations to and from airports. If you ever want to visit World Cup, “World of Dsicoveries” is the best way to go!!!!

Great experience in Qatar!!! Great service and support during our trip to Dubai and Qatar for the 2022 World Cup!!! Helena for the first contact and reservations coordination was just perfect! Michael, Varya, Irena, Anastasia and all the support staff did a great job and made us feel safe, happy, and satisfied with the service and the tours we received. The full tour included a welcome party, desert dinner and show, a tour in Dubai, and perfect logistics for travel between Dubai and Qatar. We had no issues with our hospitality tickets… Simply a perfect and unforgettable trip!!! We will definitely use World of Discoveries services again soon!!
