  • A great overview of the Dordogne region of France. An excellent variety of experiences, outstanding plant-based food, very comfortable accommodations, and superb service. There is something for everyone as well as the option of staying back at the villa to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

  • I can not speak highly enough about our experience with World Vegan Travel. Really. Yes, the accommodations were tops (some of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in). And yes, the tours and the experiences were all unforgettable with the friendliest service I’ve probably ever had throughout my travels. Yes, the beauty of the country and its culture is beyond words. And yes, the organization and logistics of moving the group and all of the belongings from point A to B to C… was effortless thanks to the leaders. But now being home for a couple of weeks and having time to reflect, what I think was most special was the beautiful group of people that I had the privilege to share this adventure with. It was a magical time with the best people and I’m certain it is due to this special travel company.

  • Where to start? The itinerary was perfect. Each hotel was top notch! And the food… incredible! I cannot give enough praise to Seb and Brighde! The entire trip was delightful- well planned, perfectly executed. And many surprises along the way (Thai massage is the best)! Thailand is a wonderful country with great people. We loved the culture and atmosphere. Traveling with WVT, we met a like minded group of people and really enjoyed the trip with everyone. I highly recommend WVT and am so looking forward to our next trip to Botswana!

  • This trip might still be my favorite—perhaps because it was my first with World Vegan Travel, or perhaps because of the amazing people on the tour. As a solo traveler, I loved that most of the group was also traveling solo. I had been to Vietnam before, but never as a vegan or with a tour group, and this experience easily surpassed my previous visits. I can’t recommend this trip enough! The variety of experiences was incredible—from riverboat trips to mausoleums, visiting animal rescue centers, cooking lessons, dancing with the locals, exploring ancient citadels, and even touring a prison museum! And the food—wow! So fresh, so flavorful, and absolutely delicious. You won’t have a dull moment, whether it’s the activities or the food keeping you engaged. Chi, our incredible local tour guide, was simply the best! I truly hope to see her again—whether in Vietnam or somewhere else in the world. World Vegan Travel tours are worth every cent. Every detail is taken care of, allowing you to sit back, relax, and fully immerse yourself in the sights, the food, and the company of wonderful people.

  • The best of Thailand was on my bucket list. After visiting Bali, India I really wanted to go to Thailand in 2020. But the world closed down. So when WVT announced Thailand, I was super excited. This was my second trip with WVT. They did not disappoint. Everything was well planned out but also giving us enough downtime to relax. I really enjoyed our interactions with the temples & the monks. The food was so delicious. Brighde & Seb are just a joy to be around & I look forward to many more trips with them.

  • My recent trip to Rwanda with Vegan World Travel was nothing short of extraordinary! If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing mountain gorillas, chimps, and monkeys in their natural habitats while being immersed in the heart of Africa, then this trip is an absolute must. Vegan World Travel expertly crafted a journey that balanced adventure, wildlife conservation, and ethical travel in a way that felt both transformative and responsible. This was my second trip with them and I’ve since done a third!

  • World Vegan Travel (Seb & Brighde) do a fantastic job organizing trips for traveling vegans, and the Best of Thailand is another example of their expertise! (This was my second trip with WVT and my husband’s first). My husband really enjoyed the Bangkok resort, dinner on the boat that cruised the Chao Phraya river, and the breakfast buffet was wonderful, especially the red curry! Traveling in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket really did show us the Best of Thailand. Every detail was taken care of, with exciting special surprises, like the 2-hour massage in Chiang Mai and the foot massages at the Bangkok airport. The food was incredibly delicious (more Khao Soi ramen please!!) amazing me with the different flavors and artistry. Highlights were the visits to the animal sanctuaries (elephants, gibbons, stray dogs and cats) and the luxurious resorts (especially the villas at the Phuket beach resort)! Most of all, experiencing everything with fellow vegans was so rewarding! The conversations and camaraderie will stay with me long after the trip.

  • We had an incredible experience on the Botswana trip. The opportunity to see wildlife up close with such knowledgable and considerate guides fulfilled this bucket list item completely- and then some! The lodges were impeccable, with wonderful (and talented!) staff that brought the experience over the top. Everything was very well planned and implemented. It almost felt like being a kid again, with everything we needed taken care of. Having WFPB food made this a trip I could not only take, but one where we could feel good about supporting our health as well. The whole journey felt special from start to finish. I highly recommend this trip!

  • Traveling with WVT to the Dordogne region of France was truly a remarkable experience. From the delicious French food (all impeccably made vegan) to the luxurious accommodations (a beautiful villa booked entirely for our group) and the varied and memorable activities and sightseeing (prehistoric cave paintings, private cruise on the Seine River, medieval villages, elephant sanctuary visit and so much more), along with traveling with a great group of people (many of whom are repeat guests), it all made for a perfect trip. This was my 4th trip with WVT (with two more booked for next year) and I highly recommend this group for your vegan (and vegan curious) travels.

  • We had the time of our lives. This was a very special experience that we are still reveling in. We didn’t want to come home. Botswana was our first trip with World Vegan Travel and we hope there will be many more. We really appreciated a highly organized experience with a relaxed vibe and fun implementation. Really pleasant surprises daily, many of which we hesitate to mention, because we don’t want to spoil anyone’s future experience.

  • Where to begin…This was my fifth World Vegan Travel trip, and it most certainly will not be my last. The Croatia experience was entirely different, as it was on a SUPER YACHT, but yet the same as my other WVT trips. Why the same? Because everything was exceptional. The accommodations (I think I mentioned the SUPER YACHT!) with an incredibly kind and devoted crew who catered to our every need and whim, the amazing food which was abundant and always delicious, the people who joined us on the trip from different places in our world, and of course our brilliant hosts Brighde and Seb. These two know how to conduct a trip!

  • WOW! WOW! WOW! This was our fourth trip with World Vegan Travel, and they continue to outdo themselves. Sailing in luxury accommodations on a gorgeous yacht with a group of delightful fellow travelers on the sparkling blue Adriatic Sea.. if there is a heaven, this is truly it. The food is divine. The crew is spectacular. The island activities and tours are varied, educational, relaxing, inspiring, surprising, and always fun. Do not let yourself miss out on this trip!

  • Brighde and Seb created an unforgettable Tuscan experience that included well paced days full of visits to historically and aesthetically significant locations. The home base farm was a fabulous place full of warm and earnest staff, delicious food, and beauty. Brighde and Seb also included marvelous lunches at a farm sanctuary and a borghese villa including an opera singer that overwhelmed me with the power of the moment.
