Eighth Tour with Bunnik
Have just returned from Colours of Rajasthan and Nepal with Bunnik.
As usual the food and accommodation was very good. We covered a lot of territory in both countries, sometimes on appalling roads in Nepal. We had one driver, Ram, for the India section, who was outstanding. The representatives and local guides were excellent.
In Nepal we had various drivers who were all very competent while our National guide, Nabu, was fantastic.
As usual, except for a few very minor problems which were sorted out in the field, the trip went smoothly.
None of these minor problems were the result of any dealings with Bunnik.
I will definitely be booking my next holiday with Bunnik and wouldn't look anywhere else

Highlights of Egypt Tour
We were looking for a holiday where we didn't need to think or worry about anything but just be on holiday. This tour met all our expectations. Bunnik looked after everything for us. Our tour guide was fantastic and all the staff that we met along the way were fabulous also. Cannot thank Bunnik enough for this experience.

Egypt and Jordan in Depth
This holiday met all of our expectations and then some. It was well-paced, with time out here and there, or extra tours if you wanted them. Petra and Abu Simbel was outstanding, as was the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings. Al Alemain was very moving. We loved Wadi Rum also! Took a balloon flight (an extra) in Luxor and it was incredible - you would be crazy to miss it. Good value for money with a high standard of accommodation. Tour guides were a walking encyclopedia of knowledge and couldn't do enough for us. Loved the Nile cruise also.

Tanzania and Kenya
I have just returned for a Sept-Oct 16-day tor to Tanzania and Kenya. We were looked after extremely well from start to finish. All of the staff - from the Bunnik-organized staff at the airport who met us and assisted us with flights and immigration, to our fabulous driver guides - were kind, very professional, patient, good-humoured, and skilled at their jobs. Our two driver guides (Pastory and Augustine) were excellent, very knowledgeable and able to spot animals from a great distance away. We saw hundreds and hundreds of animals. The program...Read more
me was excellent - each national park had something special that the others did not - and the accommodation was beautiful also (e.g. overlooking Ngorongoro Crater or Mount Kilimanjaro!) . My Bunnik travel agent, Purnima, was excellent and very thorough. Our tour group of eight was perfect. Highly recommended.1 comment

Dear Roberta,
Thank you for taking the time to post a review about your time travelling in Africa with Pastory, Augustine and your fellow seven travellers.... Read more
It sounds like the animals didn't disappoint and that your guides knew just where to take you to get great viewing opportunities. We're so pleased that you enjoyed all of the sightseeing and the places you stayed at; having been lucky enough to have experienced the view of the Ngorongoro Crater myself, I agree that it's something very special. Thank you for choosing Bunnik Tours for your trip to Kenya and Tanzania and we hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you back again one day.

Small group tour to China
Booked a small-group 18-day tour to China with Bunnik. Their itinerary suited my wife with visits to the top attractions, e.g. Beijing (Forbidden City, Great Wall), Shanghai (The Bund), Xi'an (terracotta warriors), Chengdu (giant pandas) and Yangtze River cruise (Three Gorges Dam), plus my top attraction - the Li River cruise and spectacular scenery at Guilin and Yangshuo. To visit all these locations required three internal flights and two bullet trains, but all went smoothly due to our excellent tour guide, Alice Hu.

Bunnik tour to Sri Lanka - a must on the bucket list
Just back from a great holiday .A truly memorable time; very professionally organised, personable guides, everything the tour promised. The food was great,only hot if you wanted, accommodation was wonderful and a great standard, the locals were so friendly. I felt safe the whole time. We were lucky and saw a wild leopard in the national park. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with beaches, tea plantations, national parks, temples, history and cricket!

So disappointedSydney, NSW
Bunnik Tours .. don’t expect to fly with your partner
We have organised a trip to Peru on Tuesday and have just found out when we checked in that my husband and I are sitting near the toilets in separate rows on Latam. We contacted our Bunnik rep who told us that we would have to call Latam and upgrade our tickets on 7 flights so that we can sit together. Looks like they booked the cheapest tickets for the flights with the poorest seats. Really disappointed. Hope the rest of the tour is not like this!!!

Amazing Alpine Discovery.
My husband and I recently completed the Alpine Discovery Tour and can thoroughly recommend it. While we were particularly interested in the amazing natural scenery, there was also a good balance of cultural experiences.
Our tour guide, Ales was excellent; friendly, informative, helpful and ensured everyone was well looked after. The little extras he included gave the tour a personal touch. Our driver, Paul was friendly, helpful and made us feel safe as he navigated the winding roads into the mountains.

First time small tour travelling experience
Just back from my first group tour experience. Went to Spain, Portugal and Morocco with Bunniks. Didn't know anything about tour holidays. Booked on-line and paid the quoted price. Went like clockwork. Fantastic guides. Great itinerary. Good mix of historical sites, natural and cultural experiences. There were so many experiences that were worth the journey on their own. Plenty of time allowed and good guidance for free activities. Well located accomodation. All the surprises were good ones. No unexpected expenses. So satisfied I've booked another trip for next year.

The Bunnick magic carpet ride thru 6 Eastern European countries over 3,500 km in late spring.
Have just returned from our third Bunnick tour. This trip overland from Moscow to Prague over 3,500 km through six countries worked very well, ably led by tour director Marina and our bus driver Argus.
Hopefully our group of 18 had enough churches, castles and history to satisfy their urges, The highlight for me was cruising in the bus across country, often up smaller rural roads, seeing the real rural areas at the end of spring with green crops and pastures, wild life and farm animals everywhere. It was peak stork nesting season so every spare power pole in Poland seemed to have a nest on top with 2-3 small chicks getting ready to fly.
Can highly recommend Bunnick and their in-country teams.

Bunnik were simply amazing. Everything was done as expected and entire tour was incredible. Couldn’t have asked for more. We were collected at the airport and then had guidance and advice every step of the way, without them being intrusive. There was always somebody to ask, somebody to assist and you never felt alone. The hotel quality was amazing, buses clean and comfortable, tickets always easy and purchased, transport when needed and nothing was ever too much hassle.

h you wanted) the other people on the tour and everybody of all ages got along. The most amazing highlight though was our guide for the adventure. Ibrahim was amazingly knowledgeable, passionate, caring, understanding and just a really nice guy. Nothing was ever a problem, but everything got done. He had such an amazing knowledge, and wanted to share that knowledge, wanted us to see and feel the whole adventure. They even seemed to time the arrivals so that we just missed the crowds. We had some places where we were the only tour group in the place. And if there were others there because of the small group we would see something nobody else was looking at, and then move to the main attraction when the groups had moved on. Do yourself a favor and travel with Bunnik tours. Just an amazing, breathtaking and incredible adventure. Well worth the money, well worth the time.1 comment

The 24 day adventure was a high quality tour with an appropriate safari vehicle, beautiful lodge accommodation, very knowledgable guide/ driver and the amazing array of animals seen on the 14 game drives and along the public roads.

My husband and I did a 28 day tour of South Korea and Japan with Bunnik Tours. South Korea was absolutely amazing - with only 6 people on the tour it was easy to get around.

Colour everywhere in South Korea and we saw some wonderful places including 2 shows in the package.

Another Bunnik 'must see' trip.
Northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia was our just completed trip and Bunnik again delighted with diverse locations, relaxed starts and seamless organisation. We were constantly amazed at how understated each day's activities were: 'tastings' were full lunches in Italy and cruising the Croatian coast was five star! Being a small group enabled us access to many out-of-the-way destinations that were not 'loved to death' by crowds. Highly recommended.

Questions & Answers
Chris S.asked
We are interested in doing the Highlights of Egypt and Jordan in mid March 2020. There are currently warnings about travelling in the Middle East - how aware is your tour company and the local guides of security and imminent threats?
3 answers
Hi Chris
We had warnings when we decided to still travel. Everyone at Bunnik are very helpful and will keep you up-to-date of any issues. Security is very high in these countries, so everyone is doing their best to keep everyone safe.
We felt safe the whole time we were in Egypt. We had people on our tour that had been to Jordan and said they also felt safe at all times. You just need to follow their security protocols.
I guess given the current issues with Iran and Iraq it makes things a little more tense. We definitely had no issues in November.
Hope this helps.

Many thanks for your reply - it is a particularly expensive tour so I guess the accommodation and guides seem of a very high standard compared to like itineraries.

Hi, I'm thinking of doing the Scandinavian discovery in 2020 with Bunnik Tours as a solo. Do any members have feedback/reviews on this tour? I'm little concerned about the 2 internal flights on this tour, that is., do you miss seeing a lot of the countryside because you are flying instead of driving? Thank you!

Laurie. Absolutely go. I have already been Vietnam along the Mekong Delta and Cambodia. Had an absolutely wonderful time. Bunnik Tours are fabulous. You are only young just do it. You will enjoy it as much as I did. Catherine. Sri Lanka with Bunnik was on the same level.
I’m sure you will enjoy the Bunnik tour. They are a very professional group and the local guide in Sri Lanka was wonderful. Good group size, accommodation was very good, like minded people. You can’t go wrong.
