Mel and John– :
We are John and Mel who were on the ill fated July 2014 Vampire Tour. The first few days were as expected with the planning attention to detail obvious – until the rains came! With our vehicles stranded, the road washed away, and the water level rising the situation had the potential for real disaster. However working as a team , and with Marcin’s extensive local knowledge and contacts, we survived an adventure that we shall never forget. The company made all arrangements for onward travel home and return flights to repatriate our vehicles. We plan to travel again with Marcin soon and fully recommend his tours if you want adventure with comprehensive backup.
