Reviews

Led by its inspirational founder, Amar, Traveleyes offers both visually impaired and sighted clients the opportunity to meet with extraordinary, fascinating and friendly fellow explorers of this world, in a safe atmosphere of happy teamwork, where everyone feels welcome, whatever their status, and to enjoy a superb life enhancing, unforgettable, experience.

As a low-vision individual, having a sighted guide read signs, books, and other written passages, as well as giving me a visual descriptions of landscapes, buildings and food items, allowed me to enjoy literature and travel once again.

The Austria trip was a fantastic mix of walks, sightseeing and means of travel (steam train, boats, local bus, as well as the mountain lifts and cable cars). With a number of options on the 'free day' this allowed some flexibility of choice for both VI and sighted travellers. The gastronomic delights at the hotel combined well with their excellent service.

This is an incredible experience. I loved being with the VI travellers and learning all about their journeys. They were an absolutely incredible bunch of people who show real resilience and a zest for life. It is brilliant - full on and not a typically relaxing holiday but I threw myself into the role and wanted to ensure that the VI travellers had the best possible time. I spent so much time laughing and loving every minute of it. The tours and activities were excellent - lots to do and varied. It was super being paired with a different VI traveller each day and getting to know them. I want to promote sighted people going on these trips so that more VIs travellers can.

My trip to Austria with Traveleyes was my first. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being a guide for visually impaired travellers. The group was so friendly and welcoming. I met some lovely people, enjoyed the beauty of Austria with a varied itinerary. The hotel was great, good facilities and amazing food. Will definitely do this again, a great way to travel and support others to enjoy life too.

A fabulous holiday with an amazing group of VI travellers. I have never laughed as much on a holiday and would recommend it to anyone considering giving it a go.

This trip was life-changing and confounded all my expectations. I got to meet a group of warm, wise, funny people in a beautiful setting and make memories that will last a very long time. A wonderful experience.

I enjoyed the company of a group of strangers, felt welcomed from start to finish, and made some incredible friends. Having sighted guides on hand provided a boost to my confidence as a totally blind traveller and has inspired me to keep exploring the world!!!

I always love to travel, but had a difficult time to find travel companion. Traveleyes provided me with an opportunity to do what I love - to travel and experience the world! It's been an amazing experience. Meeting people, visiting places and everyone has been so kind and so caring and so attentive. The guiding is really great. Each day we have a different partner. It's a great way to meet different people on the trip and experience things, different points of view. They described a lot of things that I can't see, all the details. It's almost like a real experience for me to be able to go to these places and imagine in my head what things look like. It's been so great! Everyone was great! Thank you!

A Traveleyes holiday for a sighted person is an opportunity to combine travel with meeting remarkable people in remarkable places, while helping them to enjoy and appreciate their surroundings. A stimulating, out of one’s comfort zone, experience, but far more memorable than most other kinds of holiday.

My fourth trip with Traveleyes led me to Andalusia. A wonderful group of sighted and VI travellers enjoyed the guided tours through castles, gardens, cathedrals, cities and remote mountain villages. Local guides are around to answer our many questions. Being with Traveleyes opened a new window in my life, I have learned a lot from VI people and there is still a lot more to discover on my future trips. I enjoy our meals together and the evenings when we chill and chat at the bar. By the end of the trip we are well bonded and the "goodbyes" at the airport take a long time. I enjoy Traveleyes trips because I don't have to organise anything. The tour guides are professional and very supportive.

Traveleyes have given me the opportunity to visit parts of the world I would never be able to get to without such a specialist company. The international aspect which brings together both visually impaired and sighted travellers from a wide range of countries is really special.

Seville is an excellent city in which to spend four or five nights, whether you are visually impaired or sighted. There is something for everyone. We could all feel the rich history of the city seeping from the ancient walls of the magnificent architecture particularly at the cathedral and the Alcazar. Inside the cathedral, your breath is taken away by the sheer size and opulence - an awe-inspiring feeling both for VI and sighted travellers. The intensity of the Flamenco dancers is apparent to those of us who are sighted from the expressions on the dancer's faces and their movements, but it is equally clear to VI people through the guitar music, castanets, singing and foot-stamping. If you are willing to be a little bold, trying various items on a tapas menu can be an interesting experience and it is all washed down with excellent Spanish wine. For more leisurely moments on the tour there are options of taking an hour's cruise along the river or seeing the sights from a horse-drawn carriage, or just ambling through the many narrow streets soaking up the atmosphere, the souvenir shops, and of course tasting the delicious Orange Wine.

Every trip gets better! This was a tremendous experience with a mix of culture, history, activity, and understanding of the social aspects of all thing Myanmar. A great opportunity for me to share this with others, and to bring this experience back home too. I was also able to learn and to understand about a country that I have not visited before. All the group were very open, trusting and sociable, and "switched on" to the Traveleyes philosophy whether new or repeat travellers.

Just returned from a trip to Myanmar. Such an amazing country we were able to discover with our supportive, wonderful TE and local guides. We started in Yangoon, flew to Inle Lake, then Bagan and in the end, we were on a bus on "the way to Mandalay" listening to the cracking song. What a treat! The whole trip was extremely well planned, the hotels beautiful and the restaurants well chosen with a big variety of tasty food. We had trishaw rides through markets, a whole day cruising in a longboat on Inle lake with interesting stops, visits to Monasteries, temples, watched silk weaving, paper making from mulberry tree bark and so much more. I felt very safe in Myanmar, the people are respectful, welcoming and dignified. The group was wonderful and this trip makes me want to go back for another visit.

The visit to Myanmar was our first trip with Traveleyes; and our first experience of guiding. We were a little bit worried about what it would entail, but we needn’t have been. The group were lovely and good fun, and the holiday offered so many different experiences and a new perspective on how to enjoy these experiences. We look forward to travelling with Traveleyes again.

This River Cruise trip was my third trip with Traveleyes. I really enjoyed the food, the well-organized tours and events, and exploring the cities and the excursions that we did on this trip, especially Strasbourg. All the activities were really memorable and great experience. It is fun to get to know others in the group. Also, I learned a lot about history on this trip, and Liz Wyke is a fantastic tour manager. I highly recommend tours and trips arranged by Traveleyes.

What can I say, my third trip and they just get better and better. Brilliant locations, wonderful people, and a brilliant tour manager and local guide. Nepal was the holiday of a lifetime!

If you are looking for a way to experience a destination and a culture in a much deeper way than you ever imagined, consider taking a journey with Traveleyes! While helping the visually impaired members of our group "see" the world around us, I found that I, too, saw things in a whole new way. I fell into bed each night exhausted but satisfied that I had gotten a whole lot more out of the experience than I ever would have in a totally sighted group.

Nepal was a wonderful adventure. The moving sights of the ongoing recovery from the awful earthquake of 2015, the charm and welcome of the people are set against the noise and chaos of the traffic, the paucity of traffic lights in the cities, making crossing the road an adventure in itself. We all gasped at the bird's nest of wiring strewn around everywhere - and marvelled at the sounds and smells of the old market in Kathmandu. In Chitwan, we came face to face with crocodiles and in Pokhara, we gazed in awe as the sun rose and illuminated the wonders of the Annapurna mountain range. A truly wonderful and memorable 10 days.

Once in a lifetime experience!

One of the travellers commented that she was nervous about going on a holiday on her own with a group of strangers, but we became a big happy family who felt like we'd known each other for years by the end. The sheer fun of cycling in an exotic country was massively enhanced by the inspiration and enjoyment gained from the VI travellers. The whole trip was well run with a fascinating itinerary and a good balance of hours in the saddle, stops at temples and coffee plantations and time on the beach and in waterfalls. If only each day had been longer! We also all had great fun in the bars and restaurants at the end of each day. I am sure many of us will keep in touch and plan another adventure together with Traveleyes!

I recommend Traveleyes to anyone who is vision impaired or blind as a safe enjoyable method of travel. A great way to have adventures, explore new worlds, meet and make friends.

This is by far the best holiday I’ve ever had! It combined all the things I love: sport, meeting new people, excellent food, cultural diversity, teamwork, and FUN! It’s taken away a lot of my concerns about losing my sight and being unable to do many of the things I love. I met some inspirational VIs who taught me to, just do it! Low maintenance, high energy people who just happen to have a visual impairment, and I met a few of the kindest, most supportive and enthusiastic sighted buddies who I hope will become friends for life. What an adventure! What a team!

The Traveleyes & SeeAbility challenge trek to Morocco's MT TOUBKAL pushed many people. It was a challenge indeed and while some reached the top, some didn't but we all climbed our own mountain in our lives. The people, sighted and VI, were all wonderful and provided so much laughter. We had a friendly Traveleyes tour leader who tried her best to make the trip as comfortable as possible. Being the eyes for VI trekkers was a unique experience and I'm happy to say that incredible bonds have been made.

Overall great experience

This was my first Traveleyes trip and wow it was an incredible experience. You are looked after and everything is explained. The tour guides go out of their way to help and being amongst like-minded people meant the group bonded very quickly. I would recommend taking the opportunity for a different kind of holiday where you learn to appreciate the world from a different point of view. As a photographer, I didn't even mind not taking so many photos, as I got to experience travel on a whole new level. If you are curious, I would highly recommend a Traveleyes trip.

The Traveleyes/SeeAbility trek to Morocco was one that will stay with me for the rest of my life. To complete this adventure and be apart of an amazing group was not just a challenge but also one of those moments that help you to understand more about yourself and others. I absolutely loved having the privilege in supporting people with visual impairments to achieve their goals and ambitions at the same time as me achieving mine. a unique and wonderful experience that everyone should try...

Great trip to Uzbekistan lots to see and good to be able to see everywhere before it gets too touristy.

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip with Traveleyes, had a wonderful time and visited beautiful places of interest. Made some friends for life too!

As a sighted traveller you get a rare glimpse into the amazing lives your fellow visually impaired travellers live. Without exception, they were generous with sharing their personal stories, very willing to answer questions and taught me so much about the technology that has transformed their lives. Fascinating. I have been so humbled and truly inspired!

I would heartily recommend this trip to anyone wanting a reasonably active holiday in fantastic natural surroundings, as long as they like walking reasonable distances. All elements, manager, guides, food and accommodation work well together.

A holiday with a purpose to use my first passport since 1991. Feeling of safety with a group like this which suited a widowed person on her own.

Yet more precious memories on a holiday which was as near to perfect as it could be. Lunches in the open air, tired after long walks and great company is what makes a holiday and Portugal was so special I will remember it for a long time. Friends often laugh when I tell them that walking holidays help me to relax, but they do not understand that whilst at home, walking independently for a blind person is far from relaxing and to be able to just switch off and enjoy the fresh air, a good chat with whoever is guiding me and the knowledge that wherever I go, I don't have to take notice in order to get back to where I started from. I always say to many people, including guides on the holiday, that they don't realise what a brilliant gift they are giving and, I suppose because they don't realise it, it becomes more naturally given. Warm thanks to everyone who made my Portuguese holiday such a great experience.

I’m sighted, I’d never guided a VI person before, and Ibiza was my first Traveleyes holiday. I felt I should be wearing L plates, but my tour manager Suzy and my sighted companions who were old hands, were hugely supportive and I learned so much from them. The VI travellers themselves took me by the hand and taught me what to do. They were without exception, staggeringly on the bright side of life, good-humoured and sociable people. Ours was always a noisy group because we laughed so much, and we functioned as a team. I learned more about pride, humility and determination, than I ever could from any book. I’ve made some great new friends from the holiday, and I can’t wait for my next Traveleyes trip!

If you like travel, meeting new people and being helpful. then a Traveleyes holiday is meant for you! It's a fabulous adventure!

I love the Traveleyes approach. As a sighted guide I think I learn far more than I give. I am seeing the world through Traveleyes, it really works!

Very well organised, great leaders and a fun group, even first-timers enjoyed the experience!

I really enjoyed my trip. It was very informative and enjoyable. The trip was well planned and arranged.

Experience travel from a different perspective as a sighted guide, enriching the journey for all...

I love exploring the world with Traveleyes. I have now done five trips as a sighted guide and looking forward to my sixth. I love finding out about the VI people that I'm travelling with and, after five trips, catching up with old friends. All of them are so inspirational. I love the fact that I see things so much better and more in-depth when I have to see them for someone else as well. I love going to unusual places that I would be hesitant to see on my own. I love being able to turn up at the airport and having everything arranged. This is a fantastic concept.

Thank you Traveleyes for a wonderful holiday experience. As this was my first ever guiding experience I feel like this trip was extra special as it opened up a whole new world to me. It has made me look at my life in a completely different way. I have made lifelong friends with people who happily shared their stories with me and trusted me to guide them even when I was unsure as this was all new to me. It was a privilege to experience this completely new world. Thank you so much and I look forward to guiding again one day.

What other travel company gives you this experience? It was dusk as the sunset over the temple at Luxor in Egypt. We stood touching ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics carved thousands of years ago into massive sandstone columns. As we traced our fingers over the shapes we heard the call to prayer all around us. It was magical.

Many thanks to Traveleyes for the wonderful opportunities they offer to visually impaired customers who want to explore the world, with the support and companionship of a sighted guide! I would heartily recommend Traveleyes to anyone who would like to experience a sociable and varied holiday, and in particular to sighted travellers who can share their sighted experience in an enthusiastic way to help bring alive a holiday to someone with a visual impairment.

Walking in Bulgaria with the VI travellers was a truly great experience. It was very rocky, steep and strenuous enough walking for a sighted person so to see the way the VI travellers coped was nothing short of inspiring. Those who had never been in chairlifts and gondolas before were able to conquer any fears and discover a wonderful new world in the air. We had a great group, superb accommodation and hosts and were able to discover what a beautiful country Bulgaria was into the bargain. Excellent!

This was my first, but not my last Traveleyes adventure, as it exceeded all my expectations. The Bulgarian walking adventure is both physically and mentally exhilarating. The group consisted of interesting, like-minded people and we all learned so much from each other. I achieved more than I thought I could due to the ambitious, adventurous VI travellers who took me out of my comfort zone, or beyond my previous hiking limits. Thank you to the wonderful team and tour manager.

This was my sixth holiday with Traveleyes but my first in the UK. Who says you have to go abroad to have fun. This was a great weekend with some moments I will never forget. The company was great and the foul weather didn't matter. I would urge anyone, VI or sighted if you are thinking of booking with Traveleyes, try a UK trip first.

I have had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the world. However, a visit to Machu Pichu and the Amazon were still on my bucket list. My trip to Peru and Machu Pichu was my first experience with Traveleyes, although I have many friends who had enjoyed their travels with them. I was enthralled with the entire trip; the range of experiences brought to life the diverse cultures of Peru; the support of the wonderful guides made the trip more accessible, with a feeling of safety and security than I had ever experienced on a holiday before. And the company of other visually impaired travellers added considerably to the trip. I do not believe I would have felt comfortable embarking on such a trip without the support of Traveleyes.

The trip to Peru was the real meaning of "awesome." Jungles, the Machu Picchu trail, terraced gardens, islands made of reed are just one part of what made this trip so amazing. The tour director kept us moving and allowed for those spontaneous moments of joy. Local guides shared their passion for their land and culture. We were a cohesive group of individuals. It was very professionally run. I'm already signed up for my next trip.

A trip to Peru was a lifelong ambition. This holiday surpassed all of my expectations. It was a privilege to share that experience with my partner. No one can understand how much travelling with VI friends can enhance everything until they've done it. Then there's no going back.

A very interesting concept, overall well orchestrated and a worthwhile experience from a sighted perspective anyway!

Don't hesitate to travel with Traveleyes. If you join either as a guide or a VI traveller you will be well looked after and have lots of fun. The groups are friendly and caring. The excursions are well planned and very interesting. You are guaranteed to have a good time and won't find yourself alone. Everything is taken care, even someone to guide you to breakfast in the morning. Excellent.

I have just returned from four days with Traveleyes discovering the delights of Newcastle, Durham and Alnwick. This was my first trip as a sighted guide and I met a lovely bunch of people. I had my eyes opened to life as a VI traveller and went to places with the excursions, that I wouldn't normally have seen and we had access to areas that the everyday traveller is not privileged to touch. The trip was well organised and the tour manager approachable and friendly. If you're thinking of trying a tour, jump right in, you will not regret it!

We were apprehensive but needn’t have been - the trip was fabulous, informative and fun with a great bunch of people!

I have been part of a number of Traveleyes holidays as a sighted guide and I always meet interesting fellow travellers. I love the way sighted and visually impaired travellers work together to make each holiday a unique experience. Well done traveleyes.

an unforgettable experience in Sorrento! This was my first Traveleyes trip. I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the beauty, culture and flavours of Italy and especially the excursions. The trip to Capri, sampling local limoncello, drinking far too much coffee and the amazing group of people on the trip were some of my highlights! I love Italy and will be travelling with Traveleyes again :-)

I completely loved this gorgeous adventure. It's allowed me to travel alone (without family or friends) and not feel lost. I strongly believe I will be booking Traveleyes holidays in the future. What a truly lovely rewarding experience.

A lovely holiday in a beautiful location

I enjoyed my Traveleyes trip to Copenhagen, the management and the sighted guides made me feel comfortable around them. I would certainly do another Traveleyes trip in the future. I think I have the travel bug now.

It was my first Traveleyes experience in Winchester 2019. I found the holiday most informative, and the Traveleyes representatives most accommodating.

Tremendous cruise experience to Iceland, including several ports of call, to see at first hand the culture, history and breathtaking landscape of the country. The trip was helped tremendously by a great group of people and our fantastic tour manager.

Lastly, we go on these holidays to see great places and experience wonderful things but never fails to amaze me the best thing is making new friends and on this cruise, I’ve made friends for life.

The Traveleyes walking trip to the Rila Mountains in Bulgaria exceeded my expectations. For the first time, I was able to experience beautiful Alpine meadows and scenery in their mid-summer glory. We had wonderful hosts in Gerry and Sandra who went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, whilst also ensuring that we did not miss out on any of Bulgaria's many culinary delights.

This was my first experience of travelling with Traveleyes and I cannot recommend the holiday highly enough. The walks are fabulous, five that were so quiet that you start to think you are alone in Bulgaria. The last one was up to one of the most visited lakes in the country, it was busy but so beautiful. The food was varied and so plentiful that any calories used up during the day were replaced in the evening.

What a great holiday! A small, family-run hotel just for our group, with welcoming hosts who could not do enough for us. Unspoilt walks in mountain scenery and a range of pre-booked, pre-paid restaurants serving excellent local food. Throw in a great group of travellers and what's not too like. We've been on this trip four times and we just love it.

I was a bit nervous about a walking holiday with visually impaired travellers as we would be in the mountains at altitude with some rocky, steep paths. However, all my fears dispersed as we had excellent, attentive guides and went at an easy pace, stopping plenty of times to admire views and hear about interesting facts about the region. Parts were challenging but it was so elating to finally finish the walk, exhausted but happy to have achieved it. An inspiring experience.

I have just returned from walking in Bulgaria. This was my first experience of Traveleyes. The week exceeded all my expectations and I feel extremely privileged to have been part of a group that walked and played so well together. I am looking on the website now to book my next trip!

The Traveleyes Cornwall holiday has many enjoyable aspects. The programme was varied; our companions were interesting company. We were looked after nicely.

Traveleyes provides the opportunity for those that are blind or have visual difficulties to experience new places with the confidence that there is always someone close to assist them and warn them of dangers. Those without sight loss will be surprised at the achievements of those to whom they give assistance.

Traveleyes really is different. Being in the company of blind and partially sighted people wasn't what I expected. We were warned that there was a Stag Party in the Hotel, and it might be noisy - but I think the noisiest group might have been us! I particularly liked that I could be helpful, and also have a really good time.

If you’re thinking about going on a Traveleyes holiday, do it! You will not regret it! I guarantee you will have an absolutely fabulous time! I have been on two trips this year and they have both been absolutely amazing!

It was my first Holiday with Traveleyes and I really enjoy the trip to Dublin. I'm a blind person but most of my friends are sighted, so having the possibility to hang around with fellow blinds was extremely interesting. Company was fun and the tour was extremely well organised.

This was my third trip with Traveleyes. Everyone was excellent and friendly, we soon got to know each other and I really enjoyed the trip as Dublin was a place I’ve wanted to visit for a long time. The tours were great and the local guides were very friendly. Thanks to everyone on the trip for making it a success, I look forward to going on another Traveleyes trip soon. If you’re reading this and considering whether to book as a VI or sighted traveller, I’d say definitely go ahead.

El Camino was my very first experience with Traveleyes and I can truly say it is not likely to be my last! I would encourage anyone thinking about joining the company definitely to have a go: you will not be disappointed! Everything is carefully planned and efficiently run, all VI traveller's needs well catered for, great company, well-chosen tour leaders and accommodation. Undoubtedly more expensive than package tours on the open market, but good value, given the reliable guiding and all our needs being catered for. Go for it, you won't regret it!

Just returned from my second trip with TE. Did 6 days Coastal Camino, 135 km. We had heat, rain, shady forests, lemon trees, villages with colourful gardens, sandy beaches, tasty food, great chats, tears of joy, blisters and fun - all with smiling faces. Absolutely loved it. Especially looking at our group when we arrived at the Cathedral place made me very emotional - we did it, all together! Thank you to every single person on this trip.

For many years I have wanted to travel on the Camino into Santiago - this looked to be the ideal opportunity made all the more worthwhile by helping a group of visually impaired people achieve their goal as well. Thanks to Traveleyes for making it all possible.

Amazing holiday to Mallorca, great activities, made new friends and wonderful to make use of the language.

The trip to Croatia was everything I had imagined and hoped for; friendly, welcoming travelling guests and tour guides- both from Traveleyes and the island. I felt exhilarated by the kayaking, hiking and magnificent scenery. I felt extremely grateful for the experience of meeting such beautiful people and learning from them all how to really live life, and experience it to the fullest. I can't wait to book another Traveleyes trip.

This was my first holiday with Traveleyes and it was a wonderful experience. The tours and excursions were excellent and as a first-time traveller, I was made to feel very welcome by others in the group that had travelled before. I will definitely be booking another trip soon!

I've travelled all over the world, and in many formats - solo, group tours, cruises, and so on - and I've experienced few holidays that resulted in the formation of good friendships as a Traveleyes holiday. The destinations are unique, the itineraries intriguing, and the company compelling.

I enjoyed my first experience with Traveleyes because of the wonderful people who were visually impaired in our tour group. They were a wonderful group of well-travelled individuals who were interesting and interested in what we were all experiencing on the trip. It was an inspirational time.

The tour manager was outstanding. The trip to Swaziland was fantastic. I would highly recommend this trip to an experienced and adventurous traveller. This was a really great group to travel with. My traveling companions were the highlight of this trip; everyone was so kind, friendly, funny and great to travel with and get to know. There were many highlights, including hikes, horseback riding, great food, and being chased by an enraged elephant!

This was my first trip with Traveleyes. I decided on a short UK break to check I would be confident to be able to guide. The whole trip was relaxed. The experience was made so much fun with our excellent guide who was there for any eventuality. I truly hope all my fellow travellers enjoyed it as much as I did. FABULOUS!

Great holiday with great company - full of admiration for the VI travellers on these trips - they cope better than some sighted people including me!

This being my first trip with Traveleyes, I was a bit skeptical as to how it would work, but I can assure anyone thinking of giving this type of holiday a go, that it is well worth it and very rewarding to know that you have helped someone less fortunate than you to have a holiday.

This is a great way of enabling sighted and VI travellers to team up and, between them, discover the world.

This was my first Traveleyes holiday. It's a fascinating way to travel and I would definitely book with you again.

The pleasure of joining sighted and visually impaired travellers, whom I hadn't met previously, is as exciting as the actual trip destination. Traveleyes has a synergy which always attracts the most interesting people to its destinations; people from the most amazing, interesting backgrounds who enjoy sharing the adventure and discovery of new places. The patience and generosity of the guides is truly humbling and by the same token, they seem to enjoy sharing with visually impaired people and learning from our experiences and approaches to life. To me, Traveleyes is the best form of networking ever; far superior to social media because we are interacting face to face. Laughter is the constant accompanying soundscape for our interactions, alongside all exotic sounds found in a place such as Istanbul where the call to prayer is electrifying.

I have been on four varied holidays so far and have really enjoyed them all.
They offer amazing value for money and you are looked after so well from the moment you meet at the airport until you return,
with the fun of being part of a friendly caring group of fellow travellers, who quickly become "family"!

Went to Sri Lanka to see their magical land
A wonderful holiday I had, really grand,
The scenery, train ride, the spice gardens too.
These are some of the fabulous things waiting for you.
Don’t miss out on this beautiful isle.
Book on the next trip and all you will do is smile.

Traveleyes offers me as a visually impaired traveller a unique experience and opportunities to travel feeling safe but sometimes challenged! Meeting local guides and enjoying tastes and sounds as well as touching my surroundings is something I only get when I travel with you.

Our first Traveleyes holiday. It provided an excellent insight into guiding VI's. It was a very sociable holiday and we very much enjoyed meeting and being with new people - both VI and sighted. It opened our eyes to a new world and we gained a lot from it.

My first trip with Traveleyes gets more than 5 stars. Went to La Palma, had a wonderful hotel at the seafront, with a pool and a fantastic buffet breakfast and dinner.
Everything was made really easy for us, well organised and the tour manager did it all with a big smile. So much fun we had, learned and laughed a lot and enjoyed the whole
experience. We all bonded and I honestly hope to meet some of our group again. I am still on cloud nine and have my name on a waiting list for the next trip.
Thank you all, it was such an honour for me.

A great way to meet a diverse group of people, make new friends and explore some amazing places.

Traveleyes is unique in its organisation. Sighted people and those who have visual impairment have the opportunity to holiday together. For the sighted traveller it is interesting to find out more about those with visual impairment and their possible attitude to life. For many V I ‘s it is their only way of visiting so many new places. Changing the person you guide each day means you interact with different people is interesting and also means that you get to know a large number of people.

If you’re looking for a trip full of laughter and adventure, Traveleyes are definitely the way to go! I had such an amazing time, it’s one of the best holidays I’ve ever been on! Our tour managers were two of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and made the experience of Thailand one I’ll never forget. We managed to get so much done in 2 weeks and everything we did was just incredible! Honestly a trip I’ll never forget!

The Guatemala holiday was fantastic. This was my first holiday with Traveleyes and it definitely won't be the last. I'm beyond impressed with the VI travellers and it was a wonderful experience to learn how to be a sighted guide.

The Traveleyes trip to Guatemala was a tremendous experience, a combination of enjoyable company, the reward of travelling with VI's as well as sighted people, and the ability to understand the history of the country as well as the modern day local culture. The activity options worked well with the general sightseeing. Most enjoyable was the local co-operative weaving and tortilla making experience, complete with taking part in the simulated family wedding. The hotel locations at Lake Atitlan and in Antigua were fantastic. A great time had by all, led by our experienced smiling leader and local guide.

I had a very relaxing and most enjoyable holiday in the Seychelles, returning home ready to face the onset of winter! It was a beautiful destination with lots to experience. It was very reassuring to be able to go on holiday as a blind person and to know that you would have assistance throughout if required. Thank you Traveleyes.

I am a widow who wanted to travel the world but had no-one in a position to accompany me. I was too scared to go alone and nervy about singles holidays (nudge, nudge, you know what I mean). Then I discovered Traveleyes and it has changed my life for the better. I have been to so many places I would not have dared go to before because I know that Traveleyes will look after me if anything goes amiss. There is absolutely no hassle. You say you want to go and if that trip is not sold out you pay your money and turn up at the airport or wherever you are meeting. Traveleyes do the rest, including giving you all the info about the hotel, the itinerary, local currency and customs, etc. I have made so many good friends on these holidays and some of us have stayed in contact. I always look forward to finding out who is on the holiday, because you often meet up with people you have not seen for ages and that is really nice. Whether you are sighted or not, if you want an interesting and fun holiday with super people I recommend you join us.
