Wonderful experience. This was the second time traveling with Wandering souls. Next year I will go with them again. Nice itinerary. All the arrangements were good. Pre trip and post trip communications were also very good.

Brilliant value for money and super centric in making the fellow wanders have the most memorable moment of their lives! I would highly recommend them, super good!!!!

I met some incredible individuals. Given the repetitious nature of my WFH routine, interacting with new, like-minded folks was refreshing. I’ve made some really good friends, that’s the biggest takeaway from the trip.
The meal, lodging, and bus ride to several destinations were all well-organized.
