Our reviews

Daniel Cane

Winter Games 2026

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with World of Discoveries. What impressed us most was the precision and execution. Every single detail was accounted for — transportation, schedules, tickets, restaurant reservations, and daily logistics. Every driver knew exactly where to be and when, which removed all stress and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience. Even more impressive was how they handled changes. With winter travel and Olympic events, things inevitably shift due to weather and scheduling adjustments, but their team stayed completely on top of everything. They proactively made accommodations and adjustments without us ever needing to worry. This is white-glove, concierge-level service at its best. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a seamless, high-end travel experience around major global events.

Robert Goldberg

Winter Games 2026

We were initially nervous being that you are only on line and we are old. Our experience was great. Sophia was very patient in answering our questions and our concerns. The hotels could not have been better- safe, clean, great staff and very centrally located. Pick ups were exactly on time and Mike arranged an early pick up for women 's big air snow boarding so we got front row. Everything went smoothly the whole trip. Oh and the seats for the 2 speed skating events were great. Including transportation to and from those would have been a nice addition but not critical. We will look at using you again.

Lisa Goetz

Winter Games 2026

This group is absolutely fantastic! They were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, professional, impatient with us. We built a 10 day itinerary from Florida to go to the Olympic Games, and they took care of lodging, milz, transportation, event tickets, and answered any questions we had regarding our itinerary“real time”— Not only would I recommend them again I would use them! The staff was very organized and professional. I only wish this group did not only focus on sporting events! So because of this incredible and once in a lifetime experience, I give this company a five star review and highly recommend!

Ken Fuller

Winter Games 2026

We had a fantastic experience at the Winter Olympics with World of Discovery. Communication with their team was first class, all the accommodation chosen was excellent, our tickets were perfect, and the private transfers between locations was comfortable and always on time. We’re so glad we chose World of Discovery and would highly recommend them.

Alex Walker

England - 2024 Euro

Amazing experience at Euro 2024! Traveling with wofdi.com to support Team England was seamless and fun. Great organization and unforgettable memories — highly recommend!

Jason Ryan

Australia - 2024 Euro

World of Discoveries organised my whole trip to Euro 24. From opening game in Munich to final in Berlin. The whole team are very personable and can not thank them enough. I watched 8 games all over Germany and everything was organised for me including tickets and tours. Hotel selection was great and I had an amazing time. I highly recommend them and will be going to World cup with them in 2026

Guillermo Diaz

Mexico - 2024 Euro

Fue una muy buena experiencia, cumplieron bien con lo que ofrecieron y siempre estuvieron muy atentos a mis mensajes y necesidades. Seguro que volvere a contactar un viaje con World of Discoverys y recomendare a mis amigos para sus siguientes viajes.

International Football Tournament 2024 Can’t recommend WORLD OF DISCOVERIES highly enough. My daughter and I joined them in Munich before travelling to Cologne, then Berlin. From the moment we arrived in Munich, it was the full 5-star experience. They took care of every aspect of the trip — from transport to tours and activities. Varya and Mike instantly made you feel welcome and included, like lifelong friends; their chemistry and enthusiasm really do make all the difference. They have built an amazing team around them who are totally committed to making your trip the very best it can be. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Marie Watt

2024 Euro

A football tour with so much more. I have just completed a great tour with World of Discoveries in Germany and Austria. The main aim of the trip was for my husband to watch Scotland play in a major international football tournament. However, this trip was about so much more than just the football. Of course, the WOFDI team organized great hotels and tickets for Bill to join the crazy Tartan Army and watch its team in Munich, Cologne and Stuttgart. But the highlights for me were visits to mad King Ludwig’s fairytale castle Neuschwanstein in Bavaria; the James Bond Elements museum, perched 3000m high up in the Austrian Alps; a stay at the incredible Aqua Dome resort in the Austrian Tyrol; and a superb wine tasting evening with a great group of travelers at Schloss Lieser hotel on the Moselle River. What a trip, what an experience.

Terry O'Connell

2024 Euro

Great trip all round. I booked not knowing what I was going to get, a little sceptical and apprehensive due to never using these guys before. I could not have been more wrong — the service has been great and the tour has also been great. Mike the tour guide and the girls in the office are 5 star. I even had a disaster and left my passports in the hotel safe in one city, and Mike and the team could not do enough to help me get them back. Really appreciate your professionalism and kindness. Will see you at the next international football event?
