    Liebe Sylvia, vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung und dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, Ihre Erfahrungen mit uns zu teilen. Wir bedauern sehr, dass der Start Ihrer Reise nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat und die Reiseleitung in den ersten Tagen nicht zufriedenstellend war. Umso wichtiger war es uns, nach Bekanntwerden der Situation schnell zu handeln – deshalb haben wir die Reiseleitung noch während der laufenden Reise ausgetauscht und freuen uns, dass der neue Reiseleiter Ihre Erwartungen erfüllen konnte. Darüber hinaus haben Sie und die weiteren Gäste der Gruppe bereits während der Reise eine Entschädigung erhalten, da uns wichtig ist, in solchen Fällen schnell und fair zu handeln. Auch bedanken wir uns für das offene Gespräch im Nachgang und freuen uns, dass wir gemeinsam eine gute Lösung finden konnten. Ihr Feedback hilft uns, unsere Qualität kontinuierlich zu verbessern. Herzliche Grüße Ihr SKR-Team

7 Reasons to Travel with SKR Reisen

SKR Reason 1: Small groups – better travel
A maximum of 12 guests on long-haul trips and a maximum of 16 guests in Europe – this way of travelling guarantees a unique travel experience. With SKR you travel as if with friends, get talking with locals, stay in small, characteristic local hotels, and your tour leaders take time for you and offer flexibility on the ground. SKR Reisen is the original for small-group travel – since 1978. More than 40,000 guests place their trust in SKR's experience every year.
SKR Reason 2: Best prices – best quality
More than 95,000 genuine guest reviews show it: you'll only find the best value for money at SKR Reisen. Thanks to many years of work in our destinations, we know the best offers on the ground. We know what's worth it and what isn't. On top of that, everything is included with SKR Reisen and there are no hidden costs – all so that you can enjoy the best possible small-group travel experience.
SKR Reason 3: Worldwide, any time of year
Once SKR, always SKR: Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Orient, Oceania and Europe – you can travel with SKR worldwide and at any time of year. Our exceptionally wide choice of more than 7,500 departure dates and over 350 trips makes your dream trip possible. SKR also has the right offer for every interest: whether it's an adventure trip through Vietnam, safaris in South Africa, hiking on Madeira, or culture and nature in Italy.
SKR Reason 4: Satisfaction guaranteed
While you enjoy your trip, we make sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Our experienced local tour leaders are your personal contacts throughout your journey. In addition, our quality team in Germany is available at any time – via WhatsApp, phone or email. Your satisfaction is our benchmark.
SKR Reason 5: Hand-picked tour leaders
Our local, German-speaking tour leaders are carefully selected. With in-depth knowledge, enthusiasm, experience and respect, they give you an authentic impression of their country and are always available for personal conversations and questions. They know the real insider tips and bring you together with local people – for example at shared meals, market visits or traditional festivals. Our tour leaders turn your trip into a real experience.
SKR Reason 6: Small, characteristic local hotels
SKR Reisen searches for the right accommodation for your trip with great care. Our priorities are small, authentic and clean places to stay. You might sleep in lodges in the middle of nature in South Africa, in beautifully designed riads in Morocco, or in desert camps in Oman right under the starry sky. Our hotels are hand-picked too, so you can relax and recharge after an eventful day.
SKR Reason 7: Sustainable travel
SKR Reisen is committed to responsible tourism. For SKR, fair business relationships and good working conditions are a matter of course – not only in our office in Cologne but also among our partners on the ground. SKR Reisen is also involved in the sustainable travel association "forum anders reisen e.V." to promote better tourism. Every two years, our sustainability practices are audited and certified with the CSR seal by TourCert. We also support certified climate protection projects by ClimatePartner for all of our trips, and we protect the environment wherever we can – for example through climate-friendly arrival by public transport. With our non-profit association "SKR Reisen hilft e.V." we carry out social and environmental development projects worldwide.

Who travels with SKR Reisen?

Friendly, open-minded people looking for a trip that's different travel with SKR. Different, because it stands apart from ordinary tour offers through inspiring itineraries, personal encounters with locals, characteristic local hotels and exceptional tour leaders. The typical SKR guest wants both a shared group experience and plenty of free time for themselves – and small groups offer exactly this balance. Most of our guests are between 35 and 75 years old, an age with a strong sense for high-quality, meaningful holidays.
Solo travellers and couples quickly connect over shared interests while still having enough time to themselves. In small groups it's easier to get to know your fellow travellers than in large, often more anonymous groups. At the same time, the more personal guidance of the tour leader offers more flexibility and freedom.
Besides rest and relaxation, SKR Reisen guests above all look for authentic experiences. On long-haul trips they want to get to know a region in all its facets, immerse themselves in local culture and everyday life, discover nature and meet other people as equals. For those who prefer to travel independently without a group, "SKR Privat" offers tailor-made trips designed 100% around guests' wishes. Couples, families, clubs and groups of friends in particular book individual trips with a tailor-made itinerary through SKR Privat.
Every year, more than 40,000 SKR guests prove that, besides pure beach holidays and large-group study tours, many people want high-quality small-group adventure travel – without neglecting relaxation or each guest's personal interests.
