Sally M

Australia - World Cup 2018

I can't wait for Qatar with World of Discoveries. I went to the Russia World Cup with them in 2018 and loved it. It was really well planned with all the transfers and tickets and our tour guides were fantastic, they went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time which isn't always easy with so many people and different nationalities, but the social events, sightseeing and activities were so much fun. If you want to enjoy your time in Qatar come and join us!

Kristine Labou

Australia - Women's World Cup 2023

We had an amazing experience in New Zealand! Everything is tailored to what we want and like! After a short conversation Varya knew exactly what to offer! We saved so much time and money booking with her, instead of trying to look ourselves and then getting disappointed. cannot recommend enough. Will be back
