Travel startup review - Tourdust  In this issue we feature Tourdust, a travel startup that allows travellers to discover and share travel experiences from hot air ballooning in Tuscany to walking holidays in Spain. The site is perfect for those travellers that love adventure and want to do something just that little bit different.
I would like to see video technology introduced into the tour pages to really help inspire me. The site is easy to navigate and includes a forum where you can share and recommend new travel experiences or leave reviews on tours that you have taken.
