AMAZING

My recent ‘Escape to the Maldives’ with Nicole from Red Door Tours was amazing!

A beautiful country, lovely people and Nicole kept it relaxed and friendly. It was everything I hoped for and more.

I look forward to more ‘holiday escapes’ with Nicole.

Highly recommend

What an amazing experience in Southern India with Nicole!

Very well organised, great guide, great local food and venues and wonderful people.

Can highly recommend Red Door Tours without hesitation.

Above and beyond

Having used several tour companies with reasonable/ok/quite good service, Red Door Tours was an eye opener! So much thought and care has gone into the experiences and adventures Nicole has chosen made the trip quite simply, fantastic!

We experienced first hand how it is to prepare and cook in an Indian household; seeing numerous cultural events; visiting both standard and different historic sites; and, best of all, visiting artisans and crafts people who still practise their arts as they have for hundreds of years.

Nicole made sure all our tastes were catered for, whether shopping, history, culture. Her preparations were wonderful – individual cards with any “help” number we could possibly need including personalised insurance information. 

Above and beyond, is this tour and I highly recommend it.
