Rickshaw Travel Opiniones 

Rickshaw Travel helped to arrange an amazing 18-day trip to China, truly memorable! They provided just the right amount of support and back-up - arranging all the flights, internal travel (including the incredible bullet train) and hotels, after Rob spent time talking to us first, which took a lot of the stress out of the plans. They included a brilliant cooking class in Dali, and cycle ride in Lijiang, but the rest of the time was up to us. China hosts Charmission were fantastic, and so supportive, arranging all our guides and pick-ups from stations and airports. The hotels were just the kind of places we would have booked ourselves - and eating out every night, often very cheaply, was a highlight of our adventures!

We booked our Greek road trip through Rickshaw and found that they offered the perfect balance of support and independence that we were looking for. Normally we don't use an agent but Kelly from Rickshaw offered first class advice on accommodation, routes and places to visit along the way, as well as organising airport transfers, a cooking course, a walking tour in Athens, a wine tasting and a tour of an Ouzo distillery. For us it was a real luxury to use them and their Greek agent also contacted us to say they were always available if we needed extra help etc.
Kelly was so friendly, never failed to get back to us and offered excellent advice including a stay in Monemvasia which we hadn't even considered beforehand.
Our holiday was a perfect mix for us of visiting ancient sites (The Parthenon, Delphi, Olympia and Epidavros), driving through and staying in the mountains (based at Dimitsana) and finally heading to coast - Monemvasia and Nafplion.
May is a perfect month to go to the Peloponnese, with temperatures in the low 20's, wild flowers in abundance and driving a pleasure with very quiet, well maintained roads. The people were friendly and welcoming and most places were quiet (probably more than usual due to the Iran war putting people off). The mainland of Greece is vast, plenty of space to explore and be away from the crowds.
Thank you Rickshaw, especially Kelly.

Just back from our 2nd trip to Costa Rica with Rickshaw travel. Another amazing experience, this time on the ‘Roads less travelled’ itinerary. From the early stages of planning the trip with Hannah, to arriving in San Jose, then all the different fantastic locations and included tours, everything worked seemlessly. We love the way you can get inspiration from their ‘bite-size trips’ but personalise how you put the holiday together, how long you stay in each place and the style of accommodation. Hannah listened so carefully to our ideas and helped us put together the perfect trip for a special birthday! The included tours were fabulous, with knowledgeable guides and small groups - we saw the rare and beautiful Resplendent Quetzals in the mountains and dolphins and turtles on a boat trip at the coast! We also love their choice of accommodation, often run by local families in stunning locations. A magical experience from start to finish and we hope to go again soon .

The trip was great, as expected!
It was well put together by Rickshaw travel, this is the second major trip we've entrusted to them and they've not let us down! All our accommodation was just as we expected, and the logistics were spot on with all our connections and travel arrangements going exactly to plan. They were even able to accommodate our daughter joining us half way through our trip. The insider knowledge Rickshaw utilise is invaluable. Their links with Vietnamese agents, meant we never felt as though we missed out on any highlights, and were always able to find out about hidden gems of places to go and experiences to try.

Some of the highlights being:
The Vietnamese people, without exception they were always helpful and eager to share their beautiful country and culture with us, and were really delighted at our attempts to speak the language and try their traditional foods and activities.
Vietnamese Coffee in all its forms is delicious!
The Home stay in Sapa - This was really interesting and it was an actual family home we stayed in, we were able to practice our very basic Vietnamese and were taught how to count properly by a 4 year old! The treks through the rice fields and mountains were amazing. It gave us an insight into the daily life of rural Vietnam and the Red Mong ethic group.
The Hi Giang Loop was a once in a lifetime experience! Incredible views and it was tailored to our needs by our personal drivers/guides. Their insider knowledge was really useful and they took us off the beaten track to some really interesting places and to try traditional dishes that we wouldn't have known of.
Ha Long Bay is an incredible natural phenomena, and the experience of staying on the water was lovely.
Hanoi old town is an experience in itself, the hustle and bustle and the shear number of people and motorbikes in the crowded streets is something to enjoy, once you have worked out how to cross the road! It also felt a very safe place to be with an array of cafes and eateries serving numerous versions of traditional dishes at incredibly cheap prices!
We highly recommend Rickshaw Travel if you want a tailor made adventure to a place you've never been before!

Although we had left it quite late to book our 4 week trip, Gemma and the team at Rickshaw did a great job in putting together a personalised package which included 10 flights and a couple of coach transfers.
Rickshaw understood our requirements well, we did not want 5 Star accommodation, but favoured hotels or stays with character. Even a very late switch to spend 2 nights in Valparaiso rather than one was easily and efficiently rescheduled.
This was an amazing holiday, with such contrasts including beautiful Buenos Aires, the end of the world in Ushuaia, stunning glaciers and treks in Patagonia, bohemian Valparaiso, Geysers moonscapes and an astronomical treat in Atacama, horse riding followed by the very best Asado steaks in Salta, and finally the remarkable Iguazu Falls, seen from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides.
A fantastic holiday… thanks Rickshaw, we will be back to arrange our trip to Vietnam & Cambodia in 2027.

My 3rd Rickshaw holiday. - this time 4 packages across Brazil. Their area specialists are very helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and all the local ground agents are top class. I love the flexibility to add or take out elements within the packages to tailor make perfectly to my wishes. A major benefit for me as an experienced traveller is that I don’t have a tour manager, local guide and driver with me all the time at huge expense and can explore places and things that I want to rather than being on a rigid prescriptive schedule. Thank you Rickshaw for another excellent trip.

Really helpful in planning a detailed and curated trip for our family. Very knowledgeable and happy to flex to our needs!

They are very helpful and respond very quickly to questions. I would definitely use them again.

Our 12 days in Japan have been an amazing adventure which, at times, was reminiscent of The Race Across the World, having to navigate the Japanese transport systems to ensure we got to the right accommodation at the right time. Rickshaw Travels’ arrangements for our ‘Taste of Japan’ holiday were faultless. The accommodation was a good balance of western style accommodation and traditional Japanese which enabled us to sample the food and customs of the land. Their planning of our journeys through the transport system was impeccable and once we had acquired our JR passes and learnt how to navigate railway stations, we were away. The Hakone and Koyasan passes enabled us to travel on the local buses and cable cars and the WIFI gadget, giving us access to data, was a gift to navigation! The selected locations gave us a fantastic ‘Taste of Japan’!

Kelly listened to what we wanted to get out of our trip to Costa Rica. I told her we had a bit longer than 2 weeks and wanted to see both Caribbean and Pacific coasts (plus animals and adventure, travelling with our 11 year old). Other companies literally email you their standard itinerary, and/or don’t show much interest unless you are a discerning traveller. Kelly was really happy to chat it all through, she has the local knowledge having been there many times, and explained all the things which were possible, along with places which could be trickier or more expensive to get to. From there we could make our minds up depending on our spend level. A truly memorable trip. Make sure you ask for prices of different room types if travelling as a family as most standards rooms/cabins are fine but some can be small. It is worth paying a bit more for a decent hotel in La Fortuna as some are on the main road instead of in the lush tropical rainforest which is all around you.

RIckshaw and its local partners did an incredible job to develop and support our trip to Costa Rica. They identified brilliant guides who helped us to access beautiful national parks and really appreciate nature’s abundance. Logistics were flawless. This is the second time we have used Rickshaw and we will be doing so again. Highly recommended!

Fabulous trip to Morocco planned for us by Ceri who tailored the trip perfectly to our requests. We travelled around a lot and every accommodation was lovely, every connection perfect with friendly and helpful transfer drivers, hoteliers and guides throughout. Would highly recommend

This was our 4th trip with Rickshaw. After our original holiday plans were cancelled (middle east issues) we needed to make new plans at short notice. Emma was great and got a new trip booked for us to Morocco. We had a great time visiting all the imperial cities plus other locations.

Gemma, at Rickshaw Travel has been excellent during the booking process. She has been available every time I have called with a question and has been very informative. If the holiday matches the booking process, then we will have a wonderful time!

Thank you so much Kelly! We had a fabulous holiday, with well thought out trips, pacing and hotels. I usually arrange everything independently, so was initially a bit uncertain about using an organisation such as Rickshaw, however I found the balance of what they arranged and what they left me free to sort was pretty much spot on, and without doubt removed a lot of pre- travel stress. No hesitation to recommend to others (have done already!) or to travel with Rickshaw again. Thank you.

We booked our holiday to Japan with Rickshaw Travel. We have had an incredible time, having been before we picked the path less travelled and combined Tokyo, Ishigaki Island and Lake Kawaguchiko. Every single member of the Rickshaw team have been amazing. From the booking process, to the organisation of our itinerary right and down to the execution of the whole trip. In particular, I would like to thank Paula and Miles who could not do enough for us and answered all our questions with speed and professionalism. A special shout out to David too, who made sure that we had all the relevant documents we needed just before we travelled. All the hotels were were booked into were incredible and all different. Even arranging car hire on Ishigaki Island for us - everything was thoughtful and well planned down to the last detail. A wonderful and personalised service. I would not hesitate to book through them again. Thank you for helping us to make memories and experiences (including a spectacular Mt Fuji view) that are going to stay with us a long time.

We just came back from Costa Rica (La Fortuna, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio) and the whole experience was fantastic. Booking the trip and all the activities was a painless process thanks to Ceri, who understood our briefing perfectly and organised the trip in a way that was balanced every day. The quality of the activities was great and all the transfers and logistics were flawless. On the hotel front if you are used to very nice accommodations I would recommend to upgrade. But the majority of the standard hotels we stayed in were little gems that we all enjoyed. Having a local agency one WhatsApp away was an added bonus for any last minute changes. I travelled on my own with three daughters between the ages 7 and 15 and the holiday was great for all of us! Thank you Ceri!

We booked our family trip across Vietnam with Rickshaw Travel and very pleased to confirm we had an excellent experience.

In country our transfers, hotels, food and other tours were all to the highest standard. A WhatsApp group of local support was available.

The balance between fully independent and highly cosseted travel was stuck perfectly. The private guides had us going to places and having experiences we would have never found ourselves.

We look forward to working with Rickshaw Travel again for our next trip.
