Food, people, country delightful!

We enjoyed our time in a wonderful country, with lovely local people. Our driver was friendly, flexible and willing to go the extra mile for us. I miss having a dedicated English speaking guide however, who could tell us much more, in depth, about the history of places we passed. Also, the whole booking and communication in the UK was a bit clunky. My husband still got repeated requests for payment long after he had paid, and it was unclear why we were being sent alternative flights after we had booked. It might be good to warn at the booking stage that parts of the tour were physically demanding, eg Sigariya.

Thank you very much, Alison, for taking the time to leave such thoughtful and constructive feedback regarding your holiday with Lumle Holidays.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time in such a beautiful country and that the warmth of the local people, together with your driver’s friendliness and flexibility, helped make the experience memorable. We are especially pleased to hear your kind comments regarding your driver’s willingness to go the extra mile, as excellent local service is something we value highly.

We also genuinely appreciate your constructive observations regarding the overall experience. Feedback such as yours is extremely valuable in helping us continue improving our tours and customer communication.

We fully understand your comments regarding the preference for a dedicated English-speaking guide to provide more in-depth historical and cultural insight throughout the journey. We also appreciate your remarks regarding the booking and communication process in the UK, particularly relating to automated payment reminders and the flight update communications. During periods of wider airline disruption, alternative flight options were being proactively explored and communicated where necessary to help protect holiday arrangements, however we understand this may at times have felt unclear and we appreciate your understanding during that period.

Thank you as well for your very helpful suggestion regarding the physical demands of certain sightseeing elements such as Sigiriya. This is an excellent point and useful guidance for future travellers considering the tour.

At Lumle Holidays, the Lumle Difference is about putting customers first, delivering quality at an unbeatable price and creating immersive travel experiences that go beyond simply booking a holiday. Reviews such as yours are incredibly important in helping future travellers better understand the nature of the destinations and experiences we offer.

Thank you very much, Lindsey, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review regarding your planned Sri Lanka holiday with Lumle Holidays.

Whilst we were naturally disappointed that your Sri Lanka tour could not proceed due to the wider Middle East airspace situation and resulting airline disruption, we are extremely grateful for your patience, understanding and kind comments regarding the support and communication provided throughout the process.

Refund due to Iran war

Due to the war in Iran, our flight was cancelled. We were unable to travel on alternate flights offered due to cost and date. Lumle holidays, tried their best to accommodate us.
Once a refund was offered, they kept us informed of time it would take to be returned and kept us updated.
There was an issue with one of my credit cards, which caused some disruption to returning part of the refund. Lumle's communication throughout was excellent. Between us, the issue was resolved, and the refund came through.
Lumle is definitely a company that I will book holidays with in the future

The Golden Triangle trip to India…

The Golden Triangle trip to India didn’t disappoint. Excellent, very knowledgeable tour guide who went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience possible. Wonderful accommodation too. The organisation from first booking with Lumle Holidays until the end of the trip was superb. This was an exciting, very busy trip which did require a lot of energy. An add on of a couple of days to relax in Delhi before flying back to the UK might be a good idea for some people.

Prompt refund

We booked a trip to Sri Lanka on the recommendation of my sister who has previously travelled with them. Regrettably our trip had to be cancelled due to the conflict in the middle east. Lumle provided a full refund as soon as our flights were cancelled by Qatar. We were very happy with their prompt communication and options provided and our requested refund arrived in our bank within a few days of the cancellation. We will definitely rebook with Lumle as soon as the airspace reopens safely.

20 day Perú, Argentina and Brazil experience

We had a great time on our 20 day Perú, Argentina and Brazil tour.
All the hotels were great and the facilities/breakfast were as you would expect.
We felt that it was the correct amount of time in each location and it was nice to finish at Buzios which has a very relaxed vibe after a very busy itinerary.

All of the included tours were good and the local guides were polite helpful and very enthusiastic.

Our only criticism would be that we were picked up to do our tour of Christ the Redeemer with another group of others who went on to sugarloaf mountain with the same guide,it seemed strange that we were not also included on the sugarloaf mountain tour as well especially as they were dropped them off first before we were taken back to our hotel at around 1330.

All the itinerary ran very smoothly and once again would highly recommend Lumle holidays and would definitely consider booking with them again, this is our third Lumle Holiday.

Thank you very much, Andrew, for taking the time to leave such a detailed review regarding your 20-day Peru, Argentina and Brazil tour with Lumle Holidays.

We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience across South America and that this was your third holiday with Lumle Holidays. Returning travellers such as yourselves mean a great deal to us, and we truly appreciate your continued trust and support.

Your journey through Peru, Argentina and Brazil combines some of the most iconic and diverse experiences in South America — from the ancient wonders of Peru and the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Machu Picchu, to the vibrant culture and energy of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, before finishing with the relaxed coastal atmosphere of Búzios. We completely agree that Búzios provides the perfect ending to such an exciting and busy itinerary.

We are also very pleased to hear your positive comments regarding the hotels, included tours and local guides throughout the journey. Exceptional local guides truly help bring destinations to life, and we are delighted that their enthusiasm, knowledge and helpfulness enhanced your overall experience.

Would book with Lumle again.

We were a bit worried we didn’t have a guide with us, but I found that really worked out well. Only ten people in our group, which was a lovely size. It was a holiday that was different, but we really enjoyed it.
Apart from one morning when travelling onto another hotel the bus did not turn up. It was sorted out and after about an hour and a half another one came.

Thank you very much, Isabelle, for taking the time to leave your lovely review and for sharing your experience travelling with Lumle Holidays in Costa Rica.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the style of the holiday and that the smaller group size worked so well for you. Costa Rica is such a unique and rewarding destination, offering an incredible combination of wildlife, rainforest scenery, volcanoes, beaches and unforgettable nature experiences, and we are pleased that the tour provided something a little different which you clearly enjoyed.

One of the great advantages of our small-group Costa Rica holidays is the more relaxed and personal atmosphere they create, allowing travellers to experience the destination at a comfortable pace whilst still enjoying the company of like-minded fellow travellers. We are therefore very pleased to hear that your group of ten worked out so nicely.

We also appreciate your understanding regarding the transport delay whilst travelling between hotels. Whilst occasional operational delays can unfortunately arise during touring holidays, we are pleased the matter was resolved locally and that it did not detract from your overall holiday enjoyment.

At Lumle Holidays, the Lumle Difference is about putting customers first, delivering quality at an unbeatable price and creating immersive travel experiences that go beyond simply booking a holiday.

Thank you very much, Paula, for your lovely review and kind comments regarding your Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia tour with Lumle Holidays.

We are absolutely delighted to hear that you found the organisation throughout the holiday incredible, from the initial meet and greet arrangements right through to the local tour guides during the journey. Delivering smooth, well-organised travel experiences across multiple destinations is something we work extremely hard to achieve, so your feedback truly means a great deal to our entire team.

A Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia tour offers such an unforgettable combination of experiences — from the vibrant culture and golden temples of Thailand, to the breathtaking scenery and rich history of Vietnam, alongside the awe-inspiring ancient temples of Cambodia including Angkor Wat.

Great experience and customer service.

We booked with Lumle Holidays for a trip to Asia from Vietnam to Cambodia and Thailand in 2025. From our first communication to just prior to the trip Lumle were excellent in sending through information to help plan and apply for visa's and make our trip as smooth as possible. Lumle kept us up to date with any changes as they happened throughout the lead up to our holiday and were very quick in replying to my email queries which made the planning less stressful. They were always courteous when talking on the phone and very knowledgeable when answering any queries. Unfortunately, due to the issues in the middle east the holiday was cancelled a number of days prior to departure. Once again, Lumle were very helpful from the moment they informed us of the cancellation, explaining what happens next and right up to the refund.  I cannot thank Lumle enough and I will not hesitate to book with them again.

Thank you very much, Anthony, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review regarding your planned Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand holiday with Lumle Holidays.

Whilst we were naturally disappointed that your Southeast Asia adventure could not proceed due to the unprecedented Middle East situation affecting airline operations, we are truly grateful for your patience, understanding and kind recognition of our team’s efforts throughout the process.

At Lumle Holidays, we understand that planning a multi-country Asia tour can sometimes feel overwhelming, particularly when visas, flight schedules and travel arrangements across several destinations are involved. We are therefore delighted to hear that our team helped make the planning process smoother and less stressful by keeping you informed throughout and responding promptly to your queries.

Your planned journey through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand would have been an incredible cultural experience — from the bustling streets and lantern-lit towns of Vietnam, to the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and the vibrant cities, tropical beaches and rich culture of Thailand. It remains one of the most popular and rewarding Southeast Asia tours we offer.

We also sincerely appreciate your comments regarding the way the situation was handled once the wider Middle East disruption escalated. During periods of global travel uncertainty, the Lumle Difference is about putting customers first, maintaining clear communication, offering realistic and flexible solutions, and delivering support that goes beyond simply booking a holiday. Your recognition of this means a great deal to our entire team.

Thank you once again for your trust, understanding and support throughout what was an exceptionally difficult period affecting international travel.

It did what it said on the tin

It did what it said on the tin. Lumle were totally seamless from pick up at Delhi Airport up until our return. The guide Vikram needs to be commended as he bent over backwards to meet the group needs and his knowledge was exemplary. We would go as far as to say he made our Lumle holiday. Prior to going on the holiday Lumle kept us fully informed and the printed itinerary and details were perfect. The highlight of our cultural holiday was the safari in which we saw a leopard and a tiger in the wild and going to the elephant sanctuary where we fed the elephants. Perhaps we were fortunate that on this trip there were only eight in our group and we all got on even visiting an Indian night club and have since formed a WhatsApp group. Thank you we would highly recommend Lumle as a travel operator.

Thank you so much, Anne, for your wonderful and detailed review.

We are absolutely delighted to hear that your India cultural holiday with Lumle Holidays lived up to expectations from the moment you arrived at Delhi Airport right through to your return journey home. Delivering seamless travel experiences is something we always strive for, so your comments truly mean a great deal to all of us.

A very special thank you as well for your kind words regarding Vikram. We completely agree that exceptional local guides can make all the difference to a holiday experience, and we are thrilled to hear how much his knowledge, care and dedication enhanced your journey throughout India. We will most certainly ensure your lovely feedback is passed onto him personally.

Your experiences perfectly capture what makes an India wildlife and cultural tour so unforgettable — from exploring vibrant cities and historic landmarks to the excitement of spotting both a leopard and a tiger in the wild during safari. Feeding elephants at the sanctuary is also such a memorable and emotional experience for many travellers visiting India.

We also love hearing how well your group connected during the trip. One of the joys of our small-group holidays is the friendships that often form along the way, whether that is over shared adventures, cultural experiences or even an unexpected night out at an Indian nightclub! It is wonderful to know that the group bonded so well and have remained in touch afterwards.

At Lumle Holidays, the Lumle Difference is about putting customers first, delivering quality at an unbeatable price, and creating experiences that go beyond simply being a holiday. Your review beautifully reflects exactly what we hope every traveller experiences when joining one of our tours.

Thank you once again for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. Reviews like yours are incredibly helpful for other travellers considering an India tour and will no doubt inspire many future visitors.

A cancelled Sri Lankan holiday

Booked a holiday in Sri Lanka in July 2025 flying with Qatar Airlines with stopovers in Doha. Due to the uncertainty of the Middle East and FCDO advise against flying into Qatar I contacted Lumle who offered various options which unfortunately were not suitable but who then offered a full refund in time for me to book a replacement holiday. A first class service especially considering the number of clients they must be having to deal with during this period of unrest.

We didn't manage to visit Thailand

We didn't manage to visit Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam because of the crisis in the Gulf. The response from Lumle was exemplary in that we were offered three options, to take a rain check until Dec 2027, to go somewhere else with them instead of a full refund. We were relieved to not be going as we feared being stranded, but Lumle response eased our stress levels. So we are grateful to them.

Same Holiday Rebooked Without Further Payment

Shortly after it became obvious that our flights into and out of Doha would be cancelled we were able to talk to somebody at Lumle and shortly after the conversations we received an email with details of our options. We gladly accepted the option to take the same holiday before the end of 2027 without any extra payment.

Dear JT,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will certainly help other travellers who are considering their options during uncertain travel situations.

We are very pleased to hear that you were able to speak with our team promptly and that the options provided were clear and helpful.

Middle East Conflict

Due to the recent war in the Middle East Lumle had no choice but to cancel my holiday to Thailand as we were flying through Doha to reach our destination. They offered me a choice of total refund or to change the dates keeping the same itinerary at no additional cost.
I explained that my friends were on the same trip and were flying through Istanbul so they were still going. Lumle managed to secure me a flight to Thailand through a different route at no additional cost. I found this amazing as we were at the start of the war, prices of alternative flights were shooting up and we were due to fly out in only a couple of days.
I accepted this offer and as fate would have it my father suddenly became seriously ill. I contacted Lumle immediately and asked them if I could go back to the original offer as I didn’t want to go away with my father so ill. Lumle arranged this for me, they were brilliant with me all the way through this stressful time, I am now taking the holiday in November.

Dear Tony,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. Your experience will be incredibly helpful for other travellers considering a Thailand holiday and understanding how situations are managed during unexpected global events.

Firstly, we are very sorry to hear about your father’s illness, and we hope he is recovering well. We fully appreciate how stressful and uncertain that period must have been for you.

The recent Middle East airspace disruption created an unprecedented situation across global travel, particularly affecting routes through key hubs such as Doha. We are therefore especially pleased to hear that we were able to support you throughout and provide flexible solutions at every stage.

From securing an alternative flight route to Thailand at no additional cost during a time when fares were rapidly increasing, to then reverting your booking back to the original option when your circumstances changed, our aim was always to put your needs first and ensure you had the flexibility and reassurance you needed.

Thailand remains one of the most captivating destinations in Southeast Asia travel, offering a wonderful blend of culture, cuisine, beaches, and vibrant cities, and we are delighted that you are now able to look forward to your journey in November.

At Lumle Holidays, we are committed to delivering more than just a holiday. We place our customers first, offer quality experiences at unbeatable value, and stand by our travellers—especially during challenging and fast-changing situations. Your experience reflects exactly the level of care and flexibility we strive to provide.

Good service in uncertain times

Communication was a little delayed which was not surprising given the huge uncertainties in the Middle East, however the decision to cancel/postpone the holiday was well communicated and our decision acted on incredibly promptly

Fascinating and exciting trip to Nepal and Bhutan

I went with my daughter to Nepal and Bhutan and we had a wonderful trip. We were very pleased with the itinerary and found it all very interesting and varied. Some people may find the pace quite fast, but we loved it as it maximised the time we were there and we felt it was good value for money. For Bhutan, you need to be fairly fit as the altitude makes one quite breathless, but the Tiger's Nest Monastery was completely worth the climb. The hotels were of a good standard, the guides were very knowledgable, and we felt it was an unforgettable experience.

Dear Tasmin,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and will certainly help other travellers who are considering a Nepal and Bhutan tour and looking for an enriching Himalayan experience.

We are delighted to hear that you and your daughter had such a memorable journey. Exploring Nepal’s vibrant culture and landscapes alongside the serene beauty of Bhutan’s Himalayan valleys and monasteries creates a truly unique and immersive Himalayan travel experience, and it’s fantastic to know that the itinerary delivered both variety and depth.

Your comments about the pace are especially appreciated. Our itineraries are carefully designed to maximise time in destination, allowing travellers to experience as much as possible within the duration of the tour, while still maintaining comfort and flow. It’s wonderful to hear that this approach worked well for you and offered good value.

We’re also pleased that you highlighted the Tiger’s Nest Monastery hike. As you rightly mentioned, this is a physically rewarding experience, particularly due to the altitude, but it remains one of the most iconic and unforgettable highlights of any Bhutan holiday.

It is equally encouraging to hear that you found the hotels comfortable and the guides knowledgeable. Our local guides play a key role in bringing each destination to life, offering insights into the culture, history, and traditions of Nepal and Bhutan, and we are proud to work with such dedicated teams.

At Lumle Holidays, we are committed to delivering more than just a holiday. We put our customers first, focus on quality at unbeatable value, and design journeys that are immersive, seamless, and memorable from start to finish.

We are truly grateful for your kind recommendation and would be delighted to welcome you again on one of our future adventures, whether returning to the Himalayas or exploring one of our many destinations worldwide.

Thank you once again for your support.

Warm regards,

The Customer Success Team

Bhutan

The pull of this holiday was Bhutan as it is the only part of the Himalayas we have not visited. I found it very underwhelming especially the food which tended to be the same buffet more or less for lunch and dinner. Also as I do not eat meat the alternative every time was omelet or fried egg - very poor. In most cases the temperature of the food was warm at best, again very poor. Despite being told how much fruit was grown in Bhutan we only ever seemed to have water melon or papaya offered to us. I felt as if we were being fed for the cheapest possible amount. Breakfasts were not much better and again I had to resort to eggs. I found it very difficult to change money despite the guide saying it was very easy to do and finally managed to change some in Thimpu at a shoe shop, though he hadn't quite got enough to complete the transaction. One of our group had an accident while walking on the scenic nature hike to Changangkha Temple which was meant to take an hour. We never got to the temple though no-one explained why - I can only assume it was because of the accident though we had walked for almost 2 hours. Finally I think it should be stressed how difficult the hike to Tiger Nest Monastery is due to the altitude. I found it hard and am a frequent walker. A few other listings in the itinerary didn't happen, again with no explanation as to why not so better communication is needed.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your Bhutan tour. We truly appreciate you outlining your experience so openly, as this will be very helpful for other travellers considering a journey to this unique Himalayan destination.

We are very sorry to hear that certain aspects of your trip did not meet expectations, particularly regarding the food quality and variety. Whilst Bhutanese cuisine is often simple and locally influenced, we fully agree that there should be greater variety—especially for non-meat options—and better temperature and presentation standards. Your comments have been taken seriously and are being addressed directly with our local partners to ensure improvements are made.

We also note your feedback regarding limited fruit selection and difficulty with currency exchange. Bhutan’s infrastructure can be more limited compared to other destinations, but this should have been better explained and supported on the ground, and we will be reinforcing this with our team.

Regarding the Changangkha Temple hike, we are particularly concerned by the lack of communication. Whilst guest safety is always the priority—especially in the event of an incident—there should have been a clear explanation provided to the group, and we apologise that this was not the case.

Your point about the Tiger’s Nest Monastery hike is very valid. This is one of Bhutan’s most iconic experiences, but also physically demanding due to altitude and terrain, and we will ensure this is communicated more clearly so guests can prepare accordingly.

At the same time, it is worth noting that many of our travellers on the same itinerary have found Bhutan to be an extraordinary and rewarding experience, particularly appreciating the dramatic Himalayan scenery, spiritual heritage, knowledgeable guides, and unique cultural immersion. However, we fully recognise that consistency is key, and your feedback highlights areas where we must improve.

At Lumle Holidays, we are committed to delivering more than just a holiday—putting our customers first, ensuring quality at unbeatable value, and continuously refining our experiences based on honest feedback such as yours.

We genuinely appreciate your comments and hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you on another Lumle journey in the future, where we can provide the level of experience you expected.

Warm regards,

The Customer Success Team
