Riviera Travel

Imperial cities of Morroco- it was a large group and some long days but well worth it . The tour had varied landscapes, cities and architecture. I particularly loved Fes because it felt authentic and we had time to explore the city on our own ( 2 single females) day and night. I also loved the cookery course in Marrakech, Roman ruins of Volubilis and the Mosque in Rabat was stunning. Hotels were of a nice standard although personally I would have preferred to dine out more instead of hotel buffets. Hotels mostly in great location, although Casablanca was unfortunately in busy business area. Highly recommend the tour if you want to sample a number of places in a short time.

Travelled with Riviera to Uzbekistan. Ten day trip was busy but not exhausting. Tour manager and local guide were excellent; accommodation and food generally very good and the sights were amazing. Of particular interest to me was the opportunity throughout the tour to meet local craft workers - from painters of miniatures to paper-makers, from tilers to potters. The blend throughout the trip of tangible and intangible heritage made it a trip to remember! As the Beatles once said, "All you need is Plov"

Just returned from a week cruising on the Blue Danube on the Emily Bronte, what a beautiful cruiser, so comfortable and immaculate.what an absolutely amazing trip, memories will last a lifetime. Cannot fault a thing, trips, food, crew all fabulous. Very highly recommended. Loved it. Booking The Rhine for my next one

We love Riviera. We always feel we have been looked after well. The staff are well trained and hard workers, especially in the dining room. The evening menu is always inventive with a choice to suit everyone. The daily optional tours are often humorous and interesting and you get to see things that it’s likely you would miss on your own.

Just on our final morning of our German Christmas market cruise with Riviera Travel. We should have spent today in Cologne before flying home. Sadly, we had to be moored overnight in the beautiful historic town of Wesseling because of an 'administrative error'. I'm lost for words frankly, but looking forward to a refund from the company that aims 'to deliver exceptional vacation experiences for discerning guests to the world's most fascinating destinations'. Trust me, there is nothing fascinating about Wesseling.

Recently back from a tour of South Africa. What an amazing trip. Our Tour guide Karen Holladay was exceptional and so was Michael the local tour guide. Kruger was absolutely mind blowing, seeing all the animals. We also did the 2 optional extra safaris, which were well worth it. Stayed in some lovely hotels. The Pearl Valley Golf hotel was exceptionally wonderful. Enjoyed our internal flight with Cem Air down to George. So many lovely memories. Winelands area was gorgeous as was Stellenbosch and Knysna. Some nice little shops in these areas to buy a few souvenirs. Boulders Beach was an experience seeing the penguins after having a great lunch overlooking the gorgeous beach. Hermanus was a scenic place but sadly we didnt see any whales. Robyn Island was definitely worth visiting when staying in Cape Town. We booked the optional trip through Karen/Riviera. We had a tour and talk from an ex political prisoner which was incredibly moving. The visit to the Langa Township and going to the gospel church service was an amazing experience. Makes you appreciate everything in your life. Table Top Mountain was superb with the revolving floor of the cable car allowing for taking some great photos . The views from up the top were so good. Made the lengthy queue to enter well worth it. The Waterfront at Cape Town had some nice restaurants to try out. The only part of the tour we didn't really appreciate was the Battlefields & Yorke Drift. Wasn't really our thing. Didn't realise the security out in South Africa was going to be so tight. Glad we went on an organized tour as we felt very safe at all times. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience this beautiful country.

This holiday to Puglia region of Italy was really well organised. There were plenty of interesting places to visit, plus spare time for further exploration. Local guides made the visits so informative. Even had time to relax on the beach !!

The Riviera Signature Tour Classical Spain was most enjoyable overall. Well organised and guided by an excellent tour manager. Hotels were acceptable as only in each for one to three nights and they were in good locations.
