Thank you for such a fun holiday!

It was only a small group and very much catered to our individual interests.

Nicole and her team are amazing, nothing is too much trouble from sourcing chocolate to tailoring visits to sites according to interests.

The food was everything from street food to fancy restaurants, yet it was always delicious.

Thanks again for so many memories and fantastic shopping.

Only way to see India!

I had the most amazing 3 weeks with Nicole on her India tour.

My expectation went beyond anything I could have ever dreamt of.

Nicole showed us a county in colour and culture that I had only seen in pictures before.

Her knowledge is endless and her stories will keep you laughing.

Thanks Nicole, you made my holiday so much fun and a beautiful memory I will cherish. You too will fall in love with India.

Trip of a lifetime!

Morocco with Red Door Tours was the trip of a lifetime.

The tour was packed with amazing experiences that were all so special and different from each other (a gourmet dinner that was out of this world, a rug co-op run by women, that Saharan camel ride).

It was so much more than I ever could’ve planned on my own. What I really valued was Nicole’s willingness to pivot when anyone had an idea of something they wanted to experience. Live music? Sure! Taking public transportation to see the beach? She made it happen for those that were interested. I expected the downside of a tour to be the loss of spontaneity, but Nicole’s personality and enthusiasm meant the tour welcomed all those special unplanned experiences that make traveling so special.

I would absolutely do another tour with her!
