Our travelers’ testimonials

  • Booked a day trip with a friend and it was definitely worth it! We got to see ancient temples and had some delicious lunch at a very local restaurant for a very reasonable price. It was nice to get away from the crowds and we had a great time with the aricu team!

  • Avoiding the tourist traps and going for the off-the-beaten-path alternatives where you wouldn't even see any locals was an amazing experience. We believe that no other company could've made this possible. The overall comfort of the trip and not having to worry about routes, getting lost, luggage, was excellent. The connection and bond with the team were very special and contributed greatly to making the atmosphere of the trip that of a road trip with friends. We're very grateful and are looking forward to traveling with you again!

  • It was great considering that we were a large group, of very different ages and with rather different preferences. You guys have been really patient. We enjoyed all the recommendations and all the restaurants were a solid 10. We truly appreciate how hassle-free everything was.
