One of the best experiences of my life . I've made friends for life! Always loved the idea of travelling but didn't have the confidence to do it alone. Real gap experience is an amazing company have all the knowledge and sort everything out for you. Best time of my life!
Booked on a trip to New Zealand last year and it was honestly one of the best experiences ever! I made so many friends from all over the world who I still talk to all the time! The places we visited went beyond my expectations and I felt so lucky to visit the non tourist places. Highly recommend
Travelling around Thailand for a month has been the most amazing experience! Seen so many different places and done so many things that I will remember forever. It was so easy to book through Real Gap and they helped me sort out my flights, they were so helpful. I can't wait to book my next trip through them 😊
I booked my first trip last summer as a solo traveller - best thing I have ever done!! Met the most amazing friends that I am still in touch with a year later, had the most amazing month travelling across various parts of Thailand. Would recommend this trip to anyone, really easy to book and well organised. The only thing I regret is not booking a trip sooner!
I booked 3 trips with Real Gap and they were brilliant! It was my first time travelling and is a daunting thing to organise by yourself but they were able to answer any questions I had and help me to organise all of my flights. I would definitely recommend them for first time travellers!
