Jason Affolder11 April 2024Rik and Culture Road arranged a fantastic tour for me in Syria... Everything went off without a hitch; a week of incredible ancient sights, sobering ruins, friendly people, and delicious food. Syria has a degraded reputation in the media but it remains a spectacular and satisfying place to visit, and Culture Road is a great organization to make such a trip happen.
Murathan Arslancan30 March 2024I did South Sudan tour in March 2024. It was one of the best experiences I had. Everything was well planned and went smoothly. I had a great time. The visit to Mundari tribe excited me a lot. Many thanks to my guides Ryan and Mayom. This trip wouldn’t have happened without their support.Brian Smith17 March 2024Awesome trip to the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi. It was well organised, packing in so many great experiences in a short time. Ryan, the main guide, was superb and a great guy. The local guides were excellent to maximise the experience and minimise the inevitable challenges in a fascinating region. Many thanks for the great memories!Jennifer Stewart17 March 2024Well organised and well run trip to Burundi, DRC, and Rwanda. Ryan was an excellent, highly personable guide supported by local drivers and guides. Good camaraderie and varied itinerary with an eye to the local culture. Highly enjoyable trip, would recommend to those interested in the (bumpy) road less travelled.Monty Ghosh13 March 2024Davide and Culture Road tours was amazing. I could not have asked for a better guide. I ended up getting travelers Diarrhea and Davide provided both medical support with some back up meds and helped me navigate the complexities of toilet use while on the African road. Davide was kind, knowledgeable, and organized. He was pleasant and easy going. I would definitely considering to do a tour with him. Thank you Davide for the memories and good times my friend !anne holvast26 February 2024Ada en ik (76 en 78) hebben een reis van drie weken gemaakt door Venezuela. Het reisplan is in goed overleg samengesteld en de begeleiding ter plekke was uitstekend! De lokale organisatie was goed bereikbaar en soepel en adequaat in het aanpassen vd reis ter plekke toen we daarom vroegen. Er was verder dagelijks een zeer vriendelijke en attente begeleiding, ofschoon de kennis van het Engels wel eens te kort schoot. Al met al: Een prachtige reis door een mooi land met een vriendelijke bevolking. Een aanrader!! Anne HolvastFern Miu14 January 2024I joined the December Syria and this is definitely the most fun and stereorype-breaking journey I had in my life! The cultureroad guide Xavier (so young but knows Syria and the Middle East so well, and speaks fluent Arabic!) and the local guides from Golden Team are very helpful, kind, and interesting. I really enjoyed the journey with them XDDGerhard Kaufmann13 January 2024Great tour operator which takes really care about his clientsAngèle Trommelen12 January 2024Thanks for booking me on yet another great trip! Turkmenistan is a difficult country to get visa to, and booking with Culture Road made going there so easy. I enjoy the diversity of the groups tremendously. Also the variety of the program and the knowlegde of the guides is fantastic. You make the whole world feel like a safe place, no matter what is being said in the media. I will definitely travel with you again!Carel Schutte2 November 2023Recent heb ik gebruik gemaakt van Culture Road i.v.m. een individuele reis naar Afghanistan. Mijn ervaringen met deze reisorganisatie en de locale gidsen zijn alleen maar positief. Erg onder de indruk van de professionele en eerlijke houding van de locale gidsen. Ik heb daardoor nagenoeg alles kunnen doen wat ik als fotograaf wilde. De Afghaanse gastvrijheid voelde als een warm welkom in dit straatarme land met zijn ingewikkelde sociale en politieke problematiek. Hopelijk kunnen door dit soort contacten nieuwe kansen voor de locale bevolking ontstaan.

Afghanistan – group tour, October 2023
I had a great experience with Culture Road in Afghanistan. The trip was very well organized, with a comprehensive itinerary and the support from a dedicated, fun and professional tour leader. The local guide was very knowledgeable and managed to provide us access to all sights despite current extensive permit requirements and restrictions (for women in particular). I am definitely planning to travel again with Culture Road in the future!

Syria – private tour, May 2023
The trip was really fantastic and beyond expectations!
Syria in particular left a great impression. With emotions running in all directions.
Warm people, special & intense stories, impressive sites, delicious food….
I sincerely regretted having to move on after 5 days. Took the people ‘into my heart’. And Athar was a fantastic guide. As if we were traveling with friends.
Lebanon was also beautiful, because the focus was so different, we saw very different things and had different experiences. A little bit ‘unlucky’ with the weather, but we still visited very beautiful places. There too we had a great guide and driver. He What’sApp-ed me yesterday: “we are not friends, but family”. 🙂
The trips after which you have to relax and let everything sink in are in my opinion the better ones. Very successful. Thanks for organizing our trip.

Syria – private tour, April 2023
We have just come back to Beirut from Damascus. Thank you very much for arranging this amazing trip. We have been travelling independently for over 20 years to different parts of the world, but these last three days in Syria were one of the most emotional and moving experiences we have ever had. Thank you for getting us in touch with your local team. We had an amazing time and went through a full range of emotions from tears to laughter and joy. I am sure we will be back. And we will definitely encourage all our friends to come to Syria. Hugs and thanks again.

Venezuela – Individual Tour, March 2023
After traveling a lot, I went to Venezuela through CultureRoad. What a fantastic trip that was. The country has a lot to offer, and I would have liked to see even more. It was magnificent, and the trip was perfectly organized by CultureRoad. The trip, the guides, and the safety were all perfectly arranged! I highly recommend Venezuela through CultureRoad.

Angola – individual tour, January 2023
On Monday I returned back home after wonderfull trip to Angola. We have seen quite a lot of the things that we wanted to see. My impressions from this trip have changed the ‘view’ I had on (travelling in) Angola in a very positive way.
A big thank you to our drivers our guide; they were great! They provided us with the services that we were looking for even though a trip like this was the first one for all of them too. Of course also thanks to CultureRoad and other people involved in making this trip possible.
