Australia - World Cup 2018

I decided to use the Tour Service of the World Cup after some extensive research into the tour alternatives. These guys seemed to differentiate its tour Service by providing a more culturally based service with a healthy dose of Football and Fun. My experience was that it as well run ie they delivered on their promises. They have a health mix of local staff and Australian staff. The Russian staff had a great empathy for the challenges for us Aussies traveling in a country where you had no language skills they bridged that gap with there wonderful help. I know there are many alternative tours but this one certainly lived up to its name. I felt I discovered part of Russia but there’s plenty more to go!’ Overall just a great experience

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.
