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!

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.

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!!

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!

Australia - World Cup 2018

We travelled to Russia for the World Cup in 2018 to follow the Australian Socceroos with World of Discoveries. We had the most fantastic time in an amazing country visiting 5 cities and attending all 3 Socceroos pool games. All travel, accommodation, sightseeing and pre and post game entertainment was organised expertly by the team at World of Discoveries, all travel was coordinated extremely well including airport transfers to and from hotels. Not knowing what to expect in Russia we were pleased with the standard of our accommodation, the locations were excellent and the standard of hotel was great. The great team from World of Discoveries looked after our every need and are to be congratulated for their level of commitment to ensuring our Russian experience was the very best. Thank you all.
