RSD Travel Arvostelua 

We have just recently been on the Istanbul trip with RSD, we took our grandson for the archeology experience and for a much needed break from college. The trip exceeded his expectations. The history of the visited sites in this part of the country is amazing, our guide 'Umit' is very knowledgeable and attentive as well as our coach drive, they worked in harmony with each other. On the first week of the trip, all apart from one hotel in the centre of Istanbul ('a marriot hotel', this was a complete shambles), were excellent, the evening food package was worth the money, except for the above hotel previously mentioned. Our 2nd week was based in a hotel, on the beach from about a 20 minute drive from anywhere, but local transport was easy to come by, the hotel offered plenty to do, there was an amazing swimming pool, on site hammam, spa and massage packages, a few shops at basement level, sunbeds on the beach, in-house entertainment on some evenings if you want to join in, outside terraces and a lovely lounge area to sit and relax. We had the full board package deal and found it to be excellent value. The food was superb with a amazing variety of dishes. The rooms are spotless and all the staff are polite, I would recommend this trip on the grounds of my experience. It was above and beyond what my grandson expected, making him a convert to future RSD trips, my husband and myself have travelled with RSD for about 12 years, we've me some lovely people and also made some friends, in general, our trips with RSD have been good and we have got to see places that we would never have seen under our own travel arrangements. These organised trips are excellent. Thanks to RSD.

EXCEPTIONAL and SPECIAL. This was an exceptionally good value for money experience which will be remembered for a lifetime. The person I travelled with asked what was your highlight and overall it was the Balloon Flight, however, each and everyday had its own very special highlight. The spectacular nature of the landscape in Cappadocia contrasted magnificently with the coast in Antalya. AN OUTSTANDING TRIP

A very good knowledgeable tour guide, lovely hotels, good food. Coppadacia is a fascinating place to visit, lots of history, well worth the visit. Our coach driver was very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this holiday with RSD, my second holiday with them and will definately go again.

This was a two week trip to Turkey and Rhodes, which was a fantastic value for money holiday. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute made more special by our guide Rosie who really looked after us. It ended with a week in a 5 star luxury hotel the Rodos Palace, the room was fantastic and spacious with a large balcony and the food was good. What more could you ask for.

Just completed a 15 day tour of Rhodes and Aegean. Never traveled with RSD before but this certainly won’t be our last. Our guide Suat’s knowledge and skills made everything so easy and well thought out. The coach driver was very helpful with luggage we also had a wheeled walking aid which presented no problem whatsoever. Each hotel we stayed at was top notch food was very good and plentiful. Overall a brilliant holiday the price was amazing extremely good value for money. Should this holiday be repeated with similar costs and provisions we will be repeating this wonderful experience. Well done RSD

Trip to Istanbul,Troy and many other places. The holiday was so interesting,we saw so many wonderful places. Everything was so well organised and the hotels were great

There were so many points of our wonderful holiday .
RSD never disappoint . We have had numerous fantastic holidays with them and the price is always terrific.
This holiday we went to Cappadocia and it is the most beautiful destination. The flight with Sun Express was great. The guide Abdula met us at the airport and we were on Josephs coach. He was such a lovely man and always smiling.. The guide was amazing and went above and beyond. We visited wonderful places and even had a sunrise balloon flight. Hotels and food fabulous and a great crowd on our coach. There was nothing to fault and we had an excellent and interesting time. As always a fantastic holiday.
Thank you RSD we will be going on others with you.

After a successful holiday to Northern Cyprus last April we decided to do Rhodes , Türkey and then Rhodes for a week without any tours. The first part of the holiday in Rhodes was okay the hotel and food acceptable. The Turkey part of the holiday was when it started to go wrong. There were four coaches all travelling to the same places and same hotels causing large queue's, the last Hotel was not acceptable as we were spread over the grounds in blocks of rooms, ok for youngsters but not for the age group on this tour. The coaches were ok but in this day and age there should be a toilet on board especially when on one day the whole day was spent in the coach. The real problems started on our return to Rhodes and what was supposed to be our five star hotel. How the Rodus Palace Hotel received a five star rating I will never know. The rooms were tired , wall paper hanging of the walls, electric points not working, This hotel had sixteen floors with only four working lifts, there were over a thousand guests, mainly RSD Travel causing cues to get to and from your room. The worst part was the dining room, ques of hundreds of people entering at all meal times. Cold food , the same every meal no variety, tables without cutlery and no where enough staff at dining times.
At no point for the whole holiday were there any RSD Travel personnel there. The guides on the coaches were employed by the coach companies a real disappointing holiday never again

Do not like the fact that RSD seem not to be doing direct flight anymore .
Last 2 trip non direct first to Balkans then to india next trip same to Rome so even Europe is non direct .They really are not as good for value as they used to be.
Wish they informed you before you booked very misleading .

I booked an 8 day tour of 'The Azores' in January 2026 which cost £1,461, including the excursion package at £179, 7x buffet dinners at £219 and a single room supplement of £219.
The holiday description implied that the Azores are a year round destination, they are NOT. I booked this trip primarily for whale and dolphin watching and the volcanos. The whale watching trip was cancelled due to rough seas. The local taxi driver said the whale watching season doesn't start until March/April. To compensate we were given a lunch (€20) and taken to a very small museum (€3) while the whale watching trip in the hotel was advertised at €60. When I complained I was told 'options on the islands are limited and subject to weather conditions' which is why this trip should NOT be offered out of season. In addition customer relations stated 'The cancellation was due to circumstances beyond our control and an alternative was provided; no refund is due' despite RSD making an EXTRA €1,406 profit at our expense (€60-€23 = €37 x 38 passengers).
Because of the trip cancellation we therefore had a free day & someone in their infinite wisdom decided to give us the Sunday off. We'd had a tour of the town the previous Friday and on the Sunday even less was open. The hop-on hop-off buses weren't running, the lava tunnels closed, the art gallery shut, 2 churches and bell tower locked . I couldn't even visit Sete Cidades volcanic crater - I could get a bus there but due to a reduced timetable, I couldn't get one back, so it was a complete waste of a day.
The food at the hotel was like school dinners and certainly not worth £31 a meal.
To be fair the hotel room was comfortable, the guide Pedro was lovely and informative and the driver great, but the holiday itself was a huge disappointment.
In addition RSD's customer relations leave a lot to be desired. I will not be booking a holiday with them again and I would ask you to think twice before you book a holiday with them.

In Turkey, 11/02/2026 to 18/02/2026, the cooked, 'hot' food was between cool and lukewarm, apart from the cooked on site omlettes.
On Rhodes, 10/02/2026 and 18/02/2026 to 23/02/2026, the cooked food was cold, including the omlettes.
The final hotel on Rhodes had a shower over a bath where the steadying handle came away, as there were no screws securing one end.

We had a wonderful experience in India with RSD. Our tour guide, AlokTripathi is a true professional. He is punctual, organized, and his local network is impressive. He always managed to get us to the sights before the crowds and handled unexpected challenges—like road closures—effortlessly by arranging alternative transport like tuk-tuks.
Alok showed us "hidden gems" that made the trip extra special. We felt very safe and well cared for by Alok, our driver, and the co-pilot. If you're looking for a well-organized and comfortable way to see India: this is it. We loved it!

Nice tour of a bit of Turkey made even more enjoyable by our rep “Rosie” who made sure we all had a fun time.

I really enjoyed the holiday to the Balkans with RSD. It was a great experience. The flights were good and air staff very pleasant. We visited lots of interesting places in each of the 4 countries. Our tour guide and the bus driver were excellent and they took really good care of us. The coach was comfortable and we had plenty of stops. We also had free time to explore some of the cities we stopped at. All of the hotels were of a good standard, and clean. One was a lovely spa hotel. The food was varied, some great, some good, some mediocre.

We had been destined to travel to India for a 14-day tour on 31/1/26. On 28/1/26 my wife was having supervision. The supervisor mentioned that my wife would be unable to come into the office until they were sure that she had not contracted Nipah while in India.
We did our homework on Nipah and found the Nipah virus infection is a zoonotic illness that is transmitted to people from animals and can also be transmitted through contaminated food or directly between people. In people with the infection, it causes a range of illnesses from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory illness, meningitis and brain swelling (encephalitis) for the most severe cases. It is a virus that is mainly found in India. There is a mortality rate of 70%. There is no cure and no vaccine. The situation in India is being monitored by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The WHO has India on high alert about Nipah. The countries adjoining India have set up Nipah testing stations for all visitors from India.
We contacted RSD on Wednesday 28/1/25 about Nipah. They had never heard of Nipah. They told us that our safety is their greatest concern. They only use the Foreign Office recommendations for travel.
Our son has a kidney problem; both my wife and I are being tested to be potential kidney donors for him. We do not want to compromise this. We made RSD aware of this.
The recommendation from the WHO is not to have any contact with any person or animal who is ill. Ensure that all fruit and vegetables are washed thoroughly before consuming, ensure all meat is properly cooked, not to consume any date oil, and to avoid contact with bats. The recommendations from the WHO is not being communicated by RSD.
We cancelled our trip due to our concerns about Nipah by email. RSD then sent an email with an attachment stating that we would have no refund. We wrote to RSD to ask for a refund; we stated that we were happy to be pay an admin fee for cancellation They replied and categorically started there would be no refund. We replied to RSD but they did not answer. Ignoring all correspondence.

First trip with RSD travel and only have positive comments, highly organised trip and we had the best guide who was so knowledgeable that made even the longer trips interesting and fun. We visited the Balkans, it was not somewhere we would have thought to have travelled too until we saw it advertised,l but highly recommend if you like to visit different countries. We are looking forward to booking our next trip with you.

We had a fantastic trip to the Balkans. So much to see! We took light chocolate bars with us so we didn't waste time ordering & waiting for lunchtime food so we could make best use of our time when we stopped in various places. Our female Turkish guide was amazing. A hearing aid popped out flipped by anorak hood & we eventually established where it was lost. Our guide organised with contacts to get the heating aid from 2 hrs drive away to us before we left our hotel the next day. Nothing was too much trouble. Wouldn't describe it as a leisurely trip, busy & very much on the go! We had good food, did drink the tap water without problems & all our hotel stop were fine though the last one reminded us of the 'old' Russian hotels. We've done a lot of travelling & this is not a trip for those who prefer relaxing on sunbeds. Except for one hotel where we had 2 consecutive nights, we didn't bother to unpack suitcases as early morning departures. Go if you want to experience something a little different & see amazing UNESCO sites & you'll love it. We certainly did. The late departure from Gatwick was due to 2 couples on the trip who got off the plane from Manchester, then couldn't get back into the airport, so we all had to get off, have passports checked so they could establish the missing couples & have their baggage removed from the plane. Yes people were frustrated as they couldn't understand the delay but we all had our holiday but those 2 couples, (who hadn't listened to the flight crew's instructions to stay on the Manchester plane when it arrived at Gatwick) did not get their holiday!

South Africa was a must do trip and made very easy and enjoyable with RSD travel The guide was excellent and very informative. I would recommend it to everyone and I am looking forward to my next trip to China in march next year.

If you are interested in the world, want to see a lot and learn even more, go with RSD Travel. They will show you the most spectacular places, accommodate you in luxury hotels, organize comfortable transport and put into care of excellent, knowledgeable tour guide.

RSD taken people to places they never dreamt about with a very low price and affordable prices.
I had a great time in Antalya and Cappadocia in November 2025. I have travelled with them about five times now. I have also recommended them to some of my friends.
