“Our Dubai tour with Holiday Somewhere was amazing. I got the best services for which one pays. I highly recommend everyone Holiday Somewhere for their holiday trip planning.”
“Very good hospitality. Very good service. Supportive like a family member. Anytime ready to support and timely availability in need. Arrangement of Hotels and transports are thoughtful and practical. The owner surprised us by suddenly upgrading our ride to Mercedes – made our day. He added a little bit of goodies and surprise every day to make it our one of the best tours ever.
It almost felt like we went to visit our relative in Dubai. Just before visiting Dubai, my younger daughter fell ill and was having a fever, and the owner said to me, ‘Don’t worry Sir, you are coming from one home to another. We will take care of you.’
This kind of gesture boosted our confidence in him, and we went ahead with our tour plan to Dubai. It was a very good trip.”
“We recently took a trip to Georgia and had a great experience. The transfers and tours were well arranged, everything was smooth and hassle-free. I really enjoyed it.”

“I recently took a solo trip to Georgia with Holiday Somewhere, and it was an unforgettable experience! The team made everything seamless – from airport transfers to guided tours.
The itinerary was very well-planned, balancing adventure and relaxation perfectly. I explored the charming streets of Tbilisi, enjoyed breathtaking views from Kazbegi, and tasted delicious Georgian cuisine.
The local guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel safe throughout the journey. Traveling solo can be daunting, but the company ensured I felt comfortable and connected. I met fellow travelers and shared amazing moments.
I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a mix of culture, nature, and adventure!
I will definitely book my next holiday with Holiday Somewhere!”
