Tour: Iraq - the Cradle of Civilization
My summarized opinion: I participated a very interesting and valuable trip. Although there were situations we could understand or explain quite hardly, these were basically not due to the specifics of the country but to the mentality and lack of responsibility of the local tour guides. I save only positive memories of the country and the sights: the kindness of the people, the Sumerian city-states and the Iraq Museum, the accommodations suited all my needs, the comfortable and spacious bus… I will remember these and I will forget the problems caused by the behavior of the local tour guides. Local tour guides need to learn not to lie - because passengers aren’t stupid and don’t believe everything -, not to change the itinerary for no reason, in general, they can’t create situations where the passengers feel they have to fight for what they have already paid for. And it would be so salute if they shared their knowledge of Iraqi culture with the passengers. Of course, these problems should not be discussed with them but with their boss – as we know … I am waiting for the next exciting tour organized by Penguin Travel.

Tour: Ирак
Уникално пътуване, много интересна дестинация, привкус от древните цивилизации на Месопотамия, както и от по-късния ислямски период, Иракският музей в Багдад е топ музей, хареса ми и това, че видяхме събирането на Тигър и Ефрат при Кюрна. Страхотна отзивчивост и компетентност както от нашия водач Любо, така и от домакините от агенцията от Наджаф!

Tour: Saudi Arabia
Fantastic trip with Penguin Travel! Loved all the sights we got to see in Saudi Arabia. Abdulaziz and Lyuben were very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend for solo and group travelers, especially those wanting an "off the beaten path" experience. Can't wait to travel with Penguin again!

Christie

Tour: Balkan Kaleidoscope
★★★★★
I just returned from a 2 week tour of the Balkans and thoroughly enjoyed the experience offered by Penguin. Communication leading up to the tour was exceptional. Our itinerary was fast paced and comprehensive and the sights were spectacular. Accommodations were were clean and amenities sufficient for the price paid for the tour. The tour leader, bus driver and the local guides were efficient friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Penguin travel, especially for off the beaten path destinations.

Mauricio

Tour: Iraqi Kurdistan
★★★★★
My recent trip in Iraq organized by Penguin was excellent from start to end. Both Penguin tour guide (Nessi) and the local guide (Fahad) managed all topics efficiently and facilitated an amazing experience for the group. Now I dream about visiting the Northern part of the country, too.

Peter

Tour: Socotra Island Adventures (Yemen)
★★★★★
Thanks for everything in terms of your work and help with this trip to Yemen. It was an amazing experience - one I would recommend to almost anyone. By the numbers of people who travelled to the island, it is only going to get more exposure. The local company was very good - so you can have no problems with them at all. I was really lucky though - there were only 2 of us on the trip - and it was a really nice experience. I will continue to work with Penguin in getting ideas for great places to travel.
