We recently booked our North East tour with 3 Way Destination, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything was perfectly planned—from the hotels and transportation to daily sightseeing. The itinerary was smooth, well-organised, and covered all the best spots without feeling rushed.
Special thanks to the team for their constant support throughout the trip. Th (Read More)ey were always available, very cooperative, and ensured that we were comfortable at every step. The driver and local guides were also very professional and friendly.
Our entire journey across the North East became truly memorable because of their excellent service. We would definitely recommend 3 Way Destination to anyone planning a trip. Looking forward to booking more holidays with them!
Honestly, there wasn’t anything major to dislike. The overall trip was very well handled. A few minor things like slight delays at some sightseeing points due to Traffic and limited food options in a couple of locations were there, but that’s understandable given the region. The team at 3 Way Destination managed everything smoothly and ensured we were comfortable throughout.
