TESTIMONIALS

Fiona took me and 4 others through an amazing trip through Nepal. Giving us a different view of the country than the standard touristy routes and showed us some less known areas of the country. Fiona was incredibly accommodating in what we did and always asked our opinions and what we wanted to do. We also had some free time in the itinerary so we weren’t always bombarded with activities and an highly packed schedule. Highly recommend if you want to experience a country that isn’t the standard route and gives a true experience.

Had an amazing trip in Nepal! Fiona was an amazing guide who planned a wonderful itinerary for our trip. She listened to our requests and gave us recommendations for days we didn’t have planned group activities. I would highly recommend anyone to go on this trip, you get to see a mix of city and mountains throughout and travel to less well known places that don’t have any other tourists letting you immerse yourself in the bright culture and hospitality of the Nepalise people.

We had an amazing time in Nepal. Fiona planned an amazing trip with so many fun experiences that immerse you in the culture of Nepal. Fiona made sure that everyone was listened to and if we wanted to do anything that wasn’t in the itinerary, she would try her best to add it. There was also enough free time on the trip for us to do our own thing snd we had some time to relax. Fiona also gave good suggestions for stuff to do in our own time. It felt like I was just on a trip with some friends it was nice being in a smaller group.

I had an amazing time exploring Nepal with Fiona. Highlights included waking up by the riverside and hiking for three days through stunning mountains. What made it special was the effort that had been put in to ensure we stayed with kind local families and enjoyed activities with small businesses that went the extra mile. I’d recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience Nepal through local eyes and enjoy its incredible scenery.

My trip to Nepal with OTW in October was truly incredible. Everything was so well organized, and I always felt our group was well taken care of. The itinerary perfectly balanced adventure, culture, and leisure. I was genuinely amazed at how much we experienced in just 12 days. We went river rafting, trekking, explored fascinating cultural sites, and even stayed with a local family, which made the whole experience feel so authentic.
Fiona was fantastic and really helped us dive deeper into the culture, making it easy to connect with the local people and understand their way of life.
I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of culture, adventure, and genuine connection.

I had the most amazing time exploring India with Fiona! I got to see so many things I would never had been able to experience on my own and met the loveliest people.

I did North East India + Varanasi & Taj Mahal add on and spent 17 days discovering new places and culture. Sikkim and Dzongu was the highlight of the trip for me. We got to stay with indigenous Lepcha community and experience their culture. The scenery and the food was to die for and the experiences and the people (shoutout to Dominic, Gaybu & Arpan) we met had wonderful.

There were lots of activities on the trip and got so see so many different cities and areas in India. All the accommodation was great and there is soo much more that I could say about how great this trip was.

Fiona did such a great job planning this trip and always attentive and just a lovely person. Such a great time getting to experience the lesser known sides of India. It’s has been an experience I will treasure forever.

Fiona curated an amazing experience, from the places to the people.

I felt totally at ease throughout the trip that Fiona expertly had everything in hand and showed us places that I wouldn’t have known about if I had gone alone. Dzongu is a region I won’t forget and staying in local home stays really added to the experience. Varanasi was one of the most spiritually energetic places I have been.

Nothing was ever too much for Fiona and she happily adapted plans to suit the group. I liked that she had a pre-call before booking to iron out questions, but also to check that everyone would get along for each trip.

If you are looking for a tour to take you off the beaten track with some likeminded people, I 100% recommend OTW

"I met incredible people [...] a life changing experience with OTW [...] it also highlighted how much travel can actually open doors for you"

"The most incredible experience"
I founded my company in 2017 because there was a gap in the travel industry for people who were tired of cookie-cutter tours that left little room for meaningful experiences. Not only does OTW share our ethos of purposeful travel, with volunteering opportunities built into the itinerary, but it also pioneers a niche untouched by conventional operators. OTW is redefining the travel landscape with its focus on personal growth and networking. It's a breath of fresh air and a great travel opportunity for students and young professionals.
My summer backpacking trips abroad during my time at Harvard turned out to be the most important piece of my education as they prepared me for a career as an international film producer. OTW provides a well-organized program for meaningful international immersion and exposure to high-achieving people around the world.

In my career, I've found that what sets individuals apart are their less tangible yet invaluable qualities, such as leadership, initiative, and the ability to connect with people from all backgrounds. These are the traits that signal future success and career progression. OTW stands out with its goal to cultivate these essential life skills through its transformative trips, offering participants the diverse experiences needed to excel in today's competitive professional landscape.
