Inspiring Vacations Reviews 

Consultant was easy to understand. Written communication consistent with verbal information.

It was a most amazing experience on this tour of Japan. Very well organized. The itinerary covered the most interesting attractions of the places and activities that enhanced the experience. Pacing was just right. Both the welcome dinner and farewell dinner were great choices. Osama the tour guide is great. He gave us over and above value with lots of background information, helped us with whatever, and made us tour members feel like family. Moto-san the bus driver was very efficient and helpful. Accommodation was fine; close to town centres and accessible to shopping and eating places. Very good value. We were happy on this first visit to Japan and we will be back. My only suggestion is to mention that taking the train from airport is a cheaper option than having to take an expensive airport transfer vehicle, taxi or limousine bus.

Nice being guided thru a process that I had no idea about before signing up

For the trip it would have been better to have paid in a month's time. Payment was very rushed. To have been paid in 10 days. Thanks jess

We signed up for our package for the South America tour the same day we attended the travel show in Melbourne. We had done our research but the warm welcome, refreshments, informative presentation and ease of signing up and payment, coupled with the great 40% discount and the folow-up the following week, made the company a pleasure to deal with. If this is just the start then we are really looking forward to our trip next April. Alan and Winnie, Mornington

Had an exceptionally good tour with Inspiring Vacations. Right through the tour we were well looked after. The tour leaders were very informative and kind. Would recommend Inspiring Vactions to anyone without hesitation.

Very easy to book a good flight through the portal

The consultants were very helpful. Answered all my questions and responded quickly to my emails.
So far the experience with inspiring vacations has been great, hope the holiday matches.

Booking was easy, Angelo was able to let me know all the bonuses was able to retrieve on my booking to make it happen!!!!

Recently returned from Sri Lanka on a solo small group journey. I found the tour guide to be very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about his country.
Accommodation was varied but were welcomed warmly at each hotel with either a cold drink or small towels to cool our brows or a local flower.
Visited two national parks and saw elephants in the wild. Stunning creatures! deer, peacocks, glorious coloured birds and even a crocodile. No cheetahs unfortunately. We climbed Lion Rock and whilst some of the climb was challenging, arriving at the summit was amazing.
Our bus driver was great as was his assistant. No luggage lost or persons left behind!
Would recommend Inspiring Vacations as had no hassles when booking and any questions asked via email were answered promptly. Thank you!!

Perri has been so helpful guiding me through the booking process and following up with me.

Great personal assistance made the booking process easy

What an incredible tour!
The pacing was spot on — spending 2 to 3 nights in each location gave us the chance to really sink into every city rather than just passing through. And the gulet in the middle of the tour? Absolute perfection. The perfect reset between destinations.

Our guide Jay was fantastic too - Incredibly knowledgeable, effortlessly organised, and so approachable — the kind of guide who makes a great trip an unforgettable one.

If you're looking for a tour that balances history, culture, and pure relaxation, I can't recommend the 16-Day Antiquities of Turkey & Gulet Cruise with Inspiring Vacations highly enough.

We did the 16 day Unforgettable Japan tour in June 2026. Overall everything went very smoothly. The tour was well organised, the IV staff were helpful throughout from booking to answering questions leading up to our departure. Our guide and driver were professional and expert. The commentary was informative and helpful. We had a really good balance of touring, free time and at no point did we feel rushed. The pace was very reasonable. Overall it was a really great experience, as this was my first trip to Japan.

Easy process
Everything well explained

We had a wonderful trip. 1/6/26 to 17/6/26. Vietnam and Cambodia.The guides were exceptional . Long ,Kim The, My Linh, Theng Kes and Vichet. All was very accommodating to each ability. The group we met was great as we all in the same age group. Expiring that I’ll never forget. 😍😍😍

Wow, great tour around South Korea with our guide Justin Choi. Justin was a great historian with extensive knowledge of traditional and modern Korea. His guide book “must see routes” was simply the best explanation of everything!

Gemma wads great.
All the staff members have been very helpful.

From my initial phone call with James to final payment everyone has been fantastic.
Follow up has been great and it’s been so easy populating information into the emails that have been sent.
Thanks to all the team really appreciate everything so far.
Hopefully the tour itself is as good

Three great countries, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia that all packed a lot of punch. Do not miss Nakhchivan extension. Great guides, small group and travelled over a lot of each country visited. Be ready for lots of churches!
Starting in Baku and ending in Yerevan - each worth at least a day before tour. In Baku do Flame Towers at night and in Yerevan visit the Pedestrian Tunnels (I felt safe as a single female) and the Kond area.
