We were very impressed with the knowledge and experience of Beyond the Ordinary and they produced an itinerary for the Yucatan that was really tailored to our personal preferences unlike other tour companies who were really only interested in selling us their standard package. The resulting holiday was exactly what we had hoped for.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just returned from a fantastic trip to Mexico arranged by Jon from Beyond The Ordinary. This was our second trip that he has arranged (Guatemala last year), and as before this was spot on. The arrangements are always exact, guides knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and ON TIME! everything just works when BTO do the arrangements. Jon's insight on the country -- what to see, where to stay, lengths of drives etc are invaluable. We cant recommend Jon and BTO highly enough.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At very short notice Jon put together our dream trip to Mexico, driving the Yucatan Loop. We wanted to experience more of the real Mexico, rather than sitting in a beach resort. His recomendation was exactly what we wanted. In 2 weeks, we got to experience small towns, larger city & seaside resorts. As well as the main Mayan ruins and other ruins and Cenotes away from the crowds. The old colonial hotels were amazing, the memories will last forever.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just back from another trip to Mexico City and Oaxaca, this time with the added thrill of the Pacific coast. Incredible experience. Flights, transfers and accommodation arranged again by Beyond the Ordinary. Superlative service, flawlessly executed. Highly recommended.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently returned from great trip to Cuba. Would recommend Beyond the Ordinary - starting with the excellent website which allowed us to design our itinerary and then the communication with Jon to fit our wishes to our budget. Enjoyed all the places we visited including the two guided trips BtO organised for us.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent holiday in Cuba, the company were very prompt in answering any queries, transfers and accommodation were greatPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beyond the Ordinary suggested an excellent itinerary and had great attention to detail. Our trip went without a hitch and their continuous concern for our wellbeing during the holiday was much appreciated.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is rare that a company offers a genuinely personal service, but Beyond the Ordinary is that company. We have just returned from our second trip arranged by Jon. Our first, to Cuba, was excellent and whatever the next step up from excellent is, our recent trip to Guatemala was in that category. Jon’s knowledge and love of this part of the world shines through and his itineraries and local arrangements are thoughtful, flexible and reassuringly efficient. “exceeded expectations” is an expression that normally grates with me but both trips absolutely merit this accolade. I look forward to our next adventure!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just home from a fantastic 2 week trip to Cuba organised by Jon at Beyond the Ordinary. Their great website provides a brilliant taster of what's possible. Jon responds quickly to any contact made with him and organising our specific itinerary was a seamless process. Highly recommend.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not recommend more highly. Communication in the lead up was very good and they helped us create our ideal itinerary. Very easy logistics wise on the ground - prompt drivers, comfortable cars and friendly tour guides etc. We sadly had an expected trip to hospital and our plans had to change at very short notice. The team sorted everything swiftly and efficiently and so we were really grateful for their support over what was quite a tricky time. They really did go above and beyond!Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
