Access Culinary Trips

My South African adventure with Access was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From Soweto to the Drakenburg mountains to Durban, Cape Town, wine country, and, of course, a tack-on Safari, it was one of the most memorable trips of my life. The guides were expert, the food delicious, the activities well-planned, and the hospitality everywhere was welcoming. Put this trip on your bucket list.

In short, the trip to Japan was amazing in every respect!

Our guide was perfect…exceedingly knowledgeable, helpful, and professional.

The lodging—even the last-minute alternate ryokans due to the typhoon—was excellent throughout the program.

The food was spectacular, the venues fascinating, and the itinerary varied and full without being overwhelming.

Very strongly recommend this program!

The Vietnam trip that Access Trips planned for us was truly wonderful. From start to finish, we were thrilled with how well taken care of and how organized and seamless the transitions were from one day to the next. The itinerary offered a nice mixture of culinary, tourist sights and cultural experiences and gave us a nice flavor of what Vietnam has to offer. One highlight was the exhilarating ride on the back of a Vespa scooter in crazy Saigon traffic!
We truly loved our amazing guide, Dong Nguyen Khoi. He was extraordinarily personable, prompt and knowledgeable. He was always watching out for us and making sure we were okay. He even carried with him a miniature screwdriver to fix a pair of glasses! He had a wonderful sense of humor and made us smile and laugh all the time. By the end of the trip, he felt like a friend we had known for years.

We just returned from our Access Culinary Tour of Croatia. This was my wife's second Access trip (Cuba) and my first. We could not have been more pleased with the experience.
Personnel were first class (driver, guides). Accommodations were each unique and very up-scale. We arrived in Dubrovnik three day early and were able to enjoy the hotel's resources, swim in the Adriatic, and do some touring on our own (not to mention reduce jet lag).
The culinary portions of the tour were unique and beyond what we could have hoped: Oysters and Mussels on a private island; cooking class focusing on seafood in Split; all things truffles (hunting them, cooking with the, and eating them).
From here on out, this is our go too tour company (and we've traveled a lot).
Thank you Access Tours for a very memorable experience.
