4 out of 5 stars

Value for money cultural tour

RSD are an award winning arts and cultural holiday travel company. We recently returned from an 8 day tour of Northern Cyprus provided by them through Northern Travel Cyprus. RSD do not inform you of your hotel details before you travel which leads to uncertainty on locations and can worry the nervous traveller. The two hotels we stayed in were ok but not really the promised 4 star but at the price we paid this was hardly surprising. Overall the tour was very good and we saw a lot in a short time. There was however some discontent with the many very expensive shopping stops we were obliged to endure. We realise that this is part of the financing of the tour but these visits were too long and too much hard sell was evident. It was also not explained that on thr return journey we would have to go through security again in Turkey. Most felt that this was unnecessary and did not realise that this was a UK government security requirement. The so-called Gala evening towards the end of the tour was an embarrassing "dance show" featuring a male belly dancer and frankly poor folk dancers. All this being said we have booked another tour with this company and were satisfied with the value for money we recieved
