Pudu Puda Travel Reviews 16

Thank you Xin Xin & the Pudu Puda team for helping us plan our family trip to Kyoto and Tokyo. We had 10 people in our group including grandparents and elementary school kids, so there were a lot of logistics to sort through. Xin helped us craft our itinerary, book hotels and excursions and hotel transfers. We were especially grateful for the greeter who met us at Tokyo Station and could help with translation since one of our party accidentally left their ticket on the train and could not exit! Lots of memories were made, thank you Pudu Puda for being with us on our travels.

We had the most fantastic trip to Tanzania and all thanks to Aline and her team from Puda Puda Travel. They really went out of their way to make sure all our expectations were met and that we had the best possible experience in this amazing but challenging country. They suggested and arranged the whole itinerary based on our wishes and needs, and later adapted the plan to meet the budget. A few weeks before our trip, they sent the most comprehensive trip schedule I had ever seen - with many important tips and instructions for what to do and what not to do in - and, finally, they followed us closely during our whole stay in Tanzania to make sure that everything was going smoothly. The hotels Lemala HamerKop and Four Seasons Serengeti were just fantastic and the staff were always kind and attentive. Robert, our driver who stayed with us throughout the week, was the best guide one could wish for. Always on time, polite, kind, and ready to adapt the schedule to our needs. He would not rest until we had a chance to see all the animals we wanted from up close and he was very knowledgeable about the the animals, the natural environment and the culture of different tribes in Tanzania. We could not be happier with we will cherish these wonderful memories forever.

My 7-day trip to Antarctica in December 2023 was nothing short of a dream come true, all thanks to the unparalleled services of Pudu Puda. From the moment I reached out to them to plan my expedition to the icy continent, I was met with professionalism and an attention to detail that far exceeded my expectations.

The planning phase of any trip can often be stressful, especially for a destination as remote and regulated as Antarctica. However, Pudu Puda made the entire process seamless and worry-free. They provided me with a comprehensive checklist of everything I would need, from essential clothing to the necessary documentation, ensuring that I was fully prepared for my adventure.

A standout aspect of their service was the exceptional dedication of Xin Xin, my personal travel consultant. Xin Xin went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that all my documentation was meticulously reviewed and submitted on time. Her proactive approach and constant communication kept me informed every step of the way, transforming the days leading up to my trip and the aftermath into an integral part of my once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Thanks to Xin Xin and the team at Pudu Puda, I was able to fully immerse myself in the breathtaking landscapes and unique wildlife of Antarctica without a single worry. Their expertise and personalized care turned what could have been a daunting journey into an effortless and unforgettable adventure.

I have already recommended Xin Xin's services and Pudu Puda to all my friends and acquaintances who seek a travel experience that's meticulously planned and executed. Without a doubt, I will be turning to them for my future travel adventures. Their dedication to ensuring that every traveler has an exceptional journey is truly commendable. Thank you, Xin Xin and Pudu Puda, for making my Antarctic dream a reality!

Xin worked hard to understand my needs and level of commitment. She was comprehensive in the options for my trip to Rapa Nui and gave every reassurance despite my anxieties that the arrangements were fully fleshed out to meet my requests. Xin coordinated smoothly with the various agencies involved in this mammoth task of a trip to Rapa Nui via Santiago. Flying in excess of 25 hours through several cities to get to spend time in Rapa Nui in the Pacific is not a small feat. Xin's personal experience in this journey and her attention to the details for transit and logistics instilled confidence in the solo traveller like me. You want Pudu Puda and Xin to have your back when you have a vision for obscure travel destinations. Trust in Xin and Pudu Puda equals the lustre and will give you a lifetime of memories you won't regret.

We had a wonderful honeymoon in Sri Lanka thanks to Xin Xin from Pudu Puda! Despite strong interest to visit the country, we had concerns with transportations especially since it was the Singhalese New Year. Xin Xin has however come up with an impeccable plan with all connecting transportations figured, and there was not one moment we felt worried / concerned during our trip as everything went extremely smooth and as planned.

We also really appreciate Xin Xin's thoughtfulness and responsiveness. We received many surprises from the hotels we were staying in as Xin Xin has informed them beforehand about us being a honeymoon couple, and our strict dietary requirements were also being catered perfectly in the restaurants Xin Xin has booked for us in advance amd throughout our trip.

We would not hesitate to book with Pudu Puda again and to recommend them to family & friends!

Xin Xin from Pudu Puda planned a wonderful honeymoon for us in South Africa. She was very open to our feedback on what we wanted to experience and adjusted our itinerary and accommodations accordingly. She also stayed in touch with us throughout the trip (despite time differences) and was very responsive to our questions, like when our flight was delayed and when we were unsure how much we should tip our local guides etc. We highly recommend Pudu Puda and are already looking forward to going on another trip with them!

Superbly well-guided tour of Clementi forest which made all the difference to the experience.

Very well-organised and guided excursion which made the guests feel comfortable on an unmarked trail.

Would not hesistate to recommend for longer trips as I have known the founder for more than two decades and she is an immaculate planner.

A beautiful tour of Mount Faber in a way I never could have imagined in Singapore! Whole-heartedly recommend.

Forgotten Faber was a hidden gem indeed! Off the usual trails, it was a beautiful way to discover Mount Faber through the forest, emerging amongst the cable cars sailing to Sentosa. And what amazing hospitality provided to refresh and energize at the end of the walk!

Had a wonderful experience with Pudu Puda on their Faber walk. The pre-excursion guide was insightful, and complete with a packing list! Our guide, Ben was very friendly, attentive and informative during our walk. The group size was small (which I liked) and it was great, as it gave us the chance to get to know other attendees. We were super delighted to find that there were light refreshments prepared at the end of our walk! Amazing hospitality by the team. I am definitely looking forward to more adventures with Pudu Puda! :)

Awesome trip through Patagonia and Chile. Could not ask for better and more unique experiences! Wide range of activities from horseback riding to boating to a glacier, most of which we would not have been able to source by ourselves. Great guides and very thoughtful planning.

Ensured that the experience was well served all the way through. Very flexible with planning and giving alternative options.

Every aspect was impeccably planned, and every experience unimaginably, yet completely Patagonian; horse-riding across the estancia, kayaking beside the Southern Ice Field, camping at the foothills of the W in Torres del Paine, laughing at baby alpacas, squinting for puma, and gasping as our car crested into breathtaking vista after vista of The Cordillera of Dreams.

I cannot thank Puda Puda enough for the trip of a lifetime.

Travel was customised, arranged & planned with great care, giving us our most memorable experience of a lifetime. Greatly appreciated & highly recommended.
Communications & help was always at hand, which is extremely handy when we are in a foreign land. Guides were well spoken in English & tours were of a high standard. Our pickups were always on time & Pudu Travel was always on top of things from the moment we landed till our departure.
Appreciation & thanks to Ms Loh for all her hard work & keeping us up to date all the way, giving us her most valued knowledge & recommendations; even for food, restaurants & clear directions.
