Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our family of five, including three teens, spent a short holiday in Timor-Leste. While the snorkeling and diving look amazing, we prioritized our limited time learning about the incredible history and culture of this young country.
We chose Timor Unearthed Tours based on their comprehensive itineraries that successfully captivate school groups. Alex is very responsive and easy to work with. Our guides, Anas and Avanti were attentive and knowledgeable.
We were there around Easter when places were completely closed at times or closed early. They made sure we didn't miss anything while being adaptable to any changes we requested.
My sons play soccer and were given an opportunity to watch the national team train and then play in a match with their peer group. My daughter appreciates souvenirs relevant to each place she visits, so a stop at the Tais Market was a win. My husband always searches for local meals and the lunch they arranged at Agora was a highlight. I enjoy reading about history and there are so many impactful places to visit around Dili.
Timor Unearthed is connected to the Timorese community in so many ways and has a great group of people working to introduce the country to the world.

The experience with Timor Unearthed travelling through Timor-Leste was life changing. The TU team was knowledgeable, fun, and made the trip as great as it was. TU are leading the way in Timor’s tourism industry, opening up the beautiful island nation to the world. Thank you to Timor Unearthed for such an amazing experience!

My teen son went on an amazing trip with Timor Unearthed as part of a school group and I hope one day we get to go as a family. He was exposed to the local language, the history involving other countries and the independence movement, the need for Timor Leste to build up industries (including tourism) that will allow them to develop themselves as a nation, the beauty of the country and the warmth of the people. The staff were focussed on the safety of the group and on giving the group unique experiences including a homestay. Timor Leste is a place that my son was extremely lucky to go to - and his love of it was due to the way Timor Unearthed organised the trip. 100% recommend.

We spent the day with Anas as he took us all around Dili to share with us the rich history and culture of Timor Leste. We absolutely loved it! Anas was so generous with his time, and his stories and knowledge. Even though we had been in Dili for two weeks, he took us to some amazing spots we had not found yet, including beautiful views, local spots, great food, and a real highlight was meeting and seeing some local women weaving tais. I could not recommend Timor Unearthed Tours more highly!

What an incredible trip. Our week in Timor-Leste was so well organised, and we felt so immersed in local culture. We spent time in Dili, over on Atauro island, and up in the mountains, including climbing Mt Ramelau. The people are so friendly, warm and inviting, we learnt so much and we had so much fun.

Travel deeper.....I was honoured to be invited to take part in a famil trip with other travel Agents from Travel Managers Australia. Timor Leste is what Bali was 35 years ago. It offers coffee plantations, mountains, beaches and the best underwater marine life I have experienced within over 40 years of being a travel professional. The people are the friendliest in the world and I believer Timor will take off in a few years to come. Get there now so that you can so that you can experience an exceptional destination.

We had such a great tour of Dilli with Anas and Toi, travelling in style in a beautiful microlet. Anas is so lovely, warm and cheeky and it was a joy to spend the day with him and learn about beautiful Timor Leste. Highly recommend taking a tour with Timor Unearthed!

Highly recommend Timor Unearthed. I learnt so much important history, and got to experience a lot of culture and nature. Everything was so well organised. The guides are knowledgeable, warm and welcoming, and overall just very good at their jobs. They’re doing some really great work in sustainable tourism in Timor Leste.

Travelled to Timor-Leste in 2018, having known minimal about the country and its culture. Timor unearthed showed myself some great cultural experiences and locations. I felt truly immersed in the Timorese lifestyle. Can’t recommend enough.
