"I would like to thank you for the 4WD course you ran on 23/2/08. We were very impressed with the course and would not hesitate in recommending Global Gypsies to anyone. I was also very impressed when I made my initial enquiries...your office was very informative and helpful, which is more than I can say for the other 4WD training centres I contacted. I'm very glad we chose to do the course with Global Gypsies."

"We thoroughly enjoyed China. It was a real eye-opener. Our small touring group under the watchful eye of Jan and Jeremy were let into some of China's amazing "Secrets". We were always safe, extremely well-fed and thoroughly entertained. Side by side with the China of the Han, Tang and Ming Emperors, we saw the China of the 21st century industrial moguls. We also enjoyed some fine examples of traditional Chinese music, dance and artistry. The company was great and the experience unforgettable. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough!"

"Thank you once again for a fabulous time on the Holland Track Expedition. The wildflowers were great and your timing perfect... as always! Safari Hostess Rebina was just fabulous and we have never eaten so much! I would like to thank you and our wonderful fellow travellers for their consideration, mirth and warmth. The group was a delight!"

"The 4WD Training Course we completed on Sunday was really good. Ken made it very informative and very enjoyable at the same time. He kept it at a level that we needed; did not baffle us with jargon; gave everybody the same amount of time and encouragement and overall made it a very enjoyable experience. Both Lynne and I came away from the day with confidence in both ourselves and our vehicle whilst at the same time having a healthy respect for the environment and its challenges. Thank you!"

"Jeremy, your style of Leadership was always gentle and your patience bottomless. Your generosity of spirit was a wonderful light on a flooded riverbank and your ability to give us all enough freedom to not dampen our adventurous spirit was an inspiration. True leaders are not made, they are born and you have a very special gift. I mentioned to an old friend that I would follow you anywhere, have implicit trust in your judgment and will be praising Global Gypsies for their professionalism and expertise. You provided a particularly full program for us especially keeping the expectation and exhilaration happening till the very last moment. All I can see for your future is the same people following you wherever you go and new ones will have to book years ahead as the service your company provides is something you don�t find very often."

Rudall River Expedition - July 2007

"Your Rudall River Expedition was just what we were looking for - real Australian nature. The itinerary was perfect, it was easy going, no rush, and this we appreciated very much. Furthermore we have been a good bunch of people together and we enjoyed the company with the Aussies and everybody was very helpful. Not to forget the tasty and healthy food we could enjoy on the whole tour. Thank you to Jeremy & to Rebina. It was great! We will certainly recommend the Gypsies whenever there is an opportunity."

"I could not speak more highly of Global Gypsies and the caravan & towing training course was exceptionally well presented and professional. I know that I will need a lot more practice before I am competent at backing the van. However, now I feel so much better for having done the course and being given the confidence to have a go. I think that every couple should seriously consider doing this course. You never know when you may need to use the skills which you could learn on this very worth while weekend and have fun while you are learning!"

"After attending your caravan training weekend, I arrived home safely around 6.30 and REVERSED INTO MY GARAGE ON THE FIRST GO!! Did I mention I live on the side of a hill!! It was all that good coaching! Thank You !"

"We have loved and appreciated so much and so many cultures in three weeks and the game parks were brilliant. Jan & Jeremy give people the opportunity to make their dreams come true."

"Thank you for an amazing 12 days in Rudall River National Park which we could never have experienced any other way. You have a great business and we hope to be with you again in future years, probably abroad. Jeremy instills such confidence and was the eternal diplomat with the bunch of kids that we all were - we've never had so many laughs to the minute!"

"We joined the first Global Gypsies Caravan Confidence Convoy in February 2005 and what a happy experience it turned out to be! After just the first day we agreed our money had been well spent and by the time we returned after the five days we spent together, we were astonished and delightfully pleased with our dramatically increased level of competency. The difference in confidence between when we left home and when we returned was extraordinary - the critical test being the reversing of the caravan into a rather tight spot next to our garage. We did this coolly, calmly and with complete control! Our fellow-gypsies on this tour, all newbies as we were, grew as we did, which added to our enjoyment.

We found Global Gypsies to be reliable and excellent in every way, and the total support we were given and the expert supervision was invaluable to us. We would like to thank Jeremy Perks, in particular, for his leadership of the group and Jan Barrie, his partner and assistant, for the organisation of the various speakers/events involved with our learning experience."

"Our safari through the Kimberley with Global Gypsies in 2004 was a 'top' trip. This was in all ways - planning, guiding, caring and helping, and the wonderful food provided by our Safari Hostess, Rebina. A happy atmosphere pervaded our time together, which emanated from our leader, Jeremy. We all made our farewells, sadly, and there was no doubt that many of us were thinking of the next time !!!"

"Thank you for a wondeful weekend, I have great memories of good fun, good food and good company. The night on Lake Ballard on the "Art in the Desert Safari" was really something - the moon rising, the sun setting, sipping champagne - MAGIC!!"

"Thankyou for the wonderful experience of a weekend safari with Global Gypsies. Being on my own, it was good to feel part of a great group who were so friendly and helpful. I also realised how little I knew about four-wheel driving- so thanks to Jeremy for his patience. All well organised, comfortable with never a dull moment. Any complaints? Well, perhaps only that the food was too good to stop at one serving. I'm already planning my next safari with you."

Sarah Cole
Fremantle, WA

"We have returned home safe and sound after 11 months of caravanning in some of the most beautiful spots of Australia. We have had a wonderful time, meeting some lovely like-minded people and have become experts now on everything to do with caravan life!! The number of people that have held us in awe at two ladies doing hitching and unhitching, reversing into tight spots, etc. have given some ladies some hope that they too might be able to do more for their husbands than just stand and give directions!!! Thank you for giving us the courage to do this trip, as we believe our experience came from that wonderful weekend we spent with Global Gypsies doing the caravan confidence course nearly two years ago now!! Many thanks!

"Jeremy Perks is a kind of outback gypsy...he is a marvellous guide to the human and natural history of the Holland Track."

Outback Magazine

"Jeremy Perks, known as the global gypsy, is the only operator currently guiding tag-along groups into Rudall River National Park. Jeremy is one of the outback's great characters - behind his gentle demeanour is a former South African elite force high-altitude parachute soldier. He learnt his bushcraft the tough way, operating secretly behind lines, living off the land. He's a trained mechanic, knowledgeable guide, knows the Rudall intimately and treads lightly on the land."

Outback Magazine

"On the fully-catered tours, clients are pampered with gourmet meals served under the stars on candle-lit tables with china and white linen."

Traveltrade Magazine

"I've been on some great trips, but every now and then one comes along that you'd almost kill for."
