Five awesome things to do in Hanoi

As any one of my past tour guests will tell you, my favourite thing to do in any city is to get lost. I love nothing more than simply walking the streets, taking in the different sights and smells and truly absorbing the city that I’m in. I love discovering new...

Two’s a Crowd, will take travellers on an amazing adventure through Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia in the latest tour to be added to our line up. It is the first time Two’s a Crowd has offered a tour through the three countries in the one trip. Company founder and...

From gondola rides to Attila the Hun’s throne in Venice

I can’t help but feel like I’ve just stepped into an Angelina Jolie movie. We’re cruising through the canals of Venice, wind in our hair, when we’re handed a glass of champagne. Welcome to Venice indeed. My Two’s a Crowd tour group has just taken the long trek by bus...

How to pack for a trip overseas

I recently posted on social media recommending people start a packing list at least a week in advance, to which my mum responded “a week? I start well before that!” Which got me thinking about how we pack and how we decide what to take when travelling to far away...

Five things to do in Cambodia that don’t involve temples

The temples in Cambodia are pretty stunning, there is nothing quite like that image of Angkor Wat reflected in the water. But after a while, the temples – there are about 72 of them – can become a bit like the castles and cathedrals on a European visit. Overwhelming....

Our Favourite tour moments of 2018

It’s fair to say we had a big agenda of travel in 2018; more tours than ever before, from cruises, to train rides and bus trips, our solo travellers pretty much experienced it all. Our tour hosts were with our guests every step of the way, making sure the tours ran...

History, culture and a whole lot of tea in Sri Lanka

There’s a lot of talk about Sri Lanka at the moment. If you read any travel magazine or website they’ll tell you “it’s the place to go”. So what is it about Sri Lanka that suddenly has everyone talking? After coming out of a 30-year civil war in 2009, tourism in the...

Best books for travel inspiration

Where better to find inspiration for your next travel experience than in the pages of a good book (other than the Two’s a Crowd website, of course)? We polled our staff, those who work in the office as well as our tour hosts to find out what books most inspired them...

Why you need to get travel insurance

You know that old saying if you can’t afford travel insurance you can’t afford to travel? It’s a cliché, we know and while it may not strictly be true, there are plenty of reasons why you should heed the advice contained in those words. But there are just so many...

What it’s really like visiting Machu Picchu

It’s early, really early when we drag ourselves out of our hotel rooms and trek down to the centre of town. You might think at this time, with the streetlights flickering and the night sky still enveloping the city, that the streets would be empty, that we would be...

What Two’s a Crowd clients say

Great holiday

What a great trip! I experienced so much and participated in all that was offered. I had read and reviewed as much as time allowed me but was not prepared for what the trip gave me and that is a better understanding of the beautiful people of both countries. - Lesley on Vietnam/Cambodia

In good company

I thought the suggestions for optional things to do, in the "free" time were very good. So good, we really ended up with very little free time. So much to do! - Mary on Vietnam

Great time together

I found the trip interesting and eye opening with a great overview of both Vietnam and Cambodia. The other travellers on the trip were fabulous and we had a great time together. - Anonymous on Vietnam/Cambodia

Fantastic first experience!

Extremely well organised with fabulous guides throughout - especially in Vietnam! First holiday with your company and certainly not the last. - Glenys on Vietnam

Great group to travel with

Having a small group meant that the days were more relaxed and flexible and I really felt spoilt and looked after. Melinda on Borneo

Thoroughly enjoyed Uganda

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip especially Uganda. There was so much variety of things to do on this trip. Jaros & Julius were great. Thought in Kenya the Maasai Mara were beautiful people, so easy to get along with. Judy

Can’t stop talking about my experience

I just feel so privileged to have shared with the Maasai the most awe-inspiring majestic sights and sounds of Africa. The fantastic memories will be with me forever. Maureen

Absolutely enjoyable

Gillian was a fantastic host. She was there for us from the moment we reached Hotel Troy. Heather on Africa

Best holiday I’ve been on!

One of the best holidays that I have been on - really well organised. I would never have travelled to Vietnam or Cambodia on my own. Bronwyn

Well organised

Fun, well organised and a really great group. Barbara on Vietnam/Cambodia

Great time together

I found the trip interesting and eye opening with a great overview of both Vietnam and Cambodia. The other travellers on the trip were fabulous and we had a great time together.

Great value

Well done. No complaints. Very pleased with this trip. Great value for my hard earned dollars! Really enjoyed the [Vietnam/Cambodia] tour.

Fabulous rapport filled with much humour!

A great bunch of people & I can't believe how we all had such a fabulous rapport filled with much humour!!!

I couldn’t fault anything.

The (Uniworld River) cruise was great, I met up with some wonderful people who treated me like part of the family !
The ship & crew were fantastic & the excursions were very good, I couldn't fault anything. I'd recommend this cruise to anyone. Peter

Informative and educational

The entire trip was one of the most enjoyable and exciting. Also so informative and educational. I was so pleased to make the trip. Wish I was over there in that magical place. Marjorie

Delighted

I’ve just returned from the wonderful Kimberley trip. It was my first experience with Two’s a Crowd and I was delighted. Kay

Opportunity to experience

I have had the opportunity to experience things I would never had done by myself. Solo travellers is a fantastic concept and use of social media has been a great way to share and keep in touch with friends and family. Judi

I need not have worried

Being my first tour and a senior member, I admit I was apprehensive but I need not have worried. It was great and I was very well looked after. Can’t wait to go to Kenya with Two’s a Crowd. Maureen

Smooth and seamless

A memorable trip of a lifetime, a wish fulfilled. A fascinating cultural country steeped in history which I found totally enthralling. Two’s a Crowd service was smooth and seamless. Pam

A wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience visiting Cambodia and Vietnam and gave me a better understanding of these countries. I had a great time with new friends, we had a good bunch and Leonie was the perfect host. Eric

Value for money

Value for money and outstanding co-operation from your staff and tour operators. Joan

Safe and secure and totally looked after

An awesome adventure for my first time overseas alone. Leonie was excellent and both guides were also fantastic. At all times I felt safe and secure and totally looked after. Melinda

Well done Two’s a Crowd.

Leonie was an excellent host, the ideal person. I never felt any pressure to be involved in every activity so I could explore alone during free time. Having 2 or 3 nights in most places was great – you could rest up or party. Well done Two’s a Crowd. Jenny

A completely different experience

It was a nice surprise holiday, a completely different experience from all my other holidays. Thanks. Piroska

I’ve had at least 10 travel agents.

In my travelling life, I’ve had at least 10 travel agents. Two’s a Crowd is the first one where I haven’t had to correct anything in my travel documents. Piroska

I’m so excited to have found you Two’s a Crowd.

“Finally. A travel company is recognising the needs of people like me”

This is perfect for me.

I really wanted to meet the people behind it

“I saw your ad in the local paper and could have phoned but I wanted to come in and congratulate you on starting this great business. I really wanted to meet the people behind it.”

Two’s a Crowd on the internet was definitely meant to be!

I’m really enthusiastic about the niche you are determined to cover in the market, and have the feeling stumbling on Two’s a Crowd on the internet was definitely meant to be.

I find them inspirational

Thanks for sending these emails as I find them inspirational and will sit dreaming for the next hour or so.

Thank you for providing a service for people like me

“I am very excited to read about your area of speciality, and look forward to devouring all information that might come my way. Thank you for providing a service for people like me.”

Excellent throughout.

The entire 14 days ran so smoothly from Two's a Crowd booking my flights to airport transfers and then the 12 days camping in the Kimberley. Excellent throughout. Congratulations. Marjorie
