Poon Hill, Nepal, 2022. Wow, what a fantastic trip. Accommodation, food, guides and Tour Manager. All were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Helping to decorate at a local hospice was an amazing pleasure 🙏

A once in a lifetime trip to Madagascar, made possible and absolutely stress free by this fantastic company. Great service from start to finish. Jo, our guide, went above and beyond for the group from day one. Madagascar itself exceeded expectations, largely due to DTC and the great itinerary put together. We will definitely rebook our next adventure without hesitation with DTC.

I've worked with Different Travel for 5 years now as part of the charity I work at, and I can't fault a thing! The whole team are amazing both pre, during and post-event for their customer service and support they give not only us as a charity, but to our charity trekkers too. Everything is always clearly communicated, either via email or in-person. We mostly with Ruhubia, the Marketing & Brand Manager, whose an absolute star in supporting out charity trek and ensuring we have everything we need from the get-go! Brilliant Tour Company to work with. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do this type of trekking holiday, without the stress of planning it all yourself!

Having no experience of running an overseas event, I was guided by one of our regular supporters to The Different Travel Company. Since our first phone call in January 2024, when we had no clue what challenge to offer and who would take part, I have felt reassured by Sarah Burgess and her amazing team, knowing my supporters are getting the best level of care. Poor Ruhubia has been at my beck and call over the last six months, and I couldn't have asked for a better overseas experience - all event fundraisers have issues passing over control, right?! Her incredible knowledge and peaceful nature have done wonders for my frazzled brain. Every briefing and chat with the team has felt like an extension of our own - with The Different Travel Company, your event feels like the most important one in their calendar, you aren't just another team on a conveyor belt of overseas charity challenges. They have been incredible, and I couldn't recommend them enough.

St Catherine's Hospice Have worked with Different Travel on multiple treks in the UK and Overseas. They are always professional and efficient. In particular, when our Trek to Petra had to be cancelled just 5 weeks before departure, they turned around a brand new trek in record time which enabled our team of over 40 trekkers to still take on an epic challenge. Working in partnership with Different Travel, we have raised over £500,000 to fund vital hospice care in West Sussex and East Surrey. We already have our next 2 treks booked, and hope to continue working together for a long time.

I was part of the 2026 Meningitis Now Trek in Morocco (5th - 10th March). This, by its nature, was an emotional few days, with most of those on the trip either survivors or having lost a family member or a friend. The trip was well organised and the team from Different Travel, including the guides and the staff, in the team (setting up, cooking) helped make the trip unforgettable. Would highly recommend.

I have done two overseas charity challenge events organised by Different travel and they have always provided an excellent service. An online travel account is provided which keeps you updated with all the up to date travel information and provides access to all travel documentation. Everything you be need is easily accessible. A company rep accompanied you on the trip so you have someone at hand 24/7 whilst overseas. The standards of accommodation and food are really good and exceeded my expectations, particularly when you consider that these are challenge events. All the staff including overseas guides are professional and helpful and provide excellent service. The events are competitively priced and offer a selection of payment methods providing excellent value. I highly recommended Different Travel.

Fundraising trip of a lifetime! I was lucky enough to take on the Vietnam trek in 2024, led by the amazing Liv and with the irrepressibly optimistic local guide called “Sunny”. From beginning to end everything was brilliantly organised and we had the trip of a lifetime, making new friends all whilst raising funds for Dorothy House Hospice. If you want a challenge event that includes a local community project, led by an amazing team whilst supporting your local charity, you couldn’t do any better and I can’t say thank you enough to Liv and team from the Different Travel Company. PS Sahara trek in 2027 anyone?

Everything was organised perfectly so we could focus on the walking. Liv was the most perfect guide; experienced, calm, friendly and simply wonderful. Thank you to her and the team for making our experience unforgettable.
