What travelers are saying

"We just returned from a wonderful 3-week trip in Ecuador that included Quito, Amazon jungle, touring down the Andes to Cuenca, and Galapagos cruise. Our travel agent Alvaro did an excellent job helping us plan our trip - he was very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. All our guides were excellent, special shout-out to Christian, Sergio (aka Mike Tyson), and Pablo. Our favorite experiences were the Napo Cultural Center in the Amazon, biking/hiking at the Cotopaxi and Chimborazo volcanoes, and cruising the Galapagos."

What travelers are saying

"I've traveled to Europe several times before but not like this. Thanks to Kelley and her amazing knowledge and patience with all my queries, my famiy and I enjoyed a customized itinerary filled with a food tour in Paris and a cooking lesson in Naples, history and art lessons at the British Museum and Musee D'Orsay, with enough time to travel independently and make new discoveries with less hassle than before. I absolutely recommend the Relaxed Explorer to anyone looking to make memorable trips with their families that will be cherished by all. Thank you so much Kelley!! Would love to make more good travel memories with your help!!"

What travelers are saying

"My husband and I have just returned from our 3-week honeymoon in Colombia organised by Bruce and Paula and the wider team at BnB Columbia. It was truly the best holiday/ travel of our lives. We loved it so much that we consider moving there once we learn more Spanish! We had a magical experience thanks to BnB Columbia, who have organised a terrific itinerary for us and provided full support from start to finish. Paula was our main point of contact/ organiser and she was a TOP STAR!!! She was the most  kind, helpful, professional and flexible person , from the start of our initial discussions until the very end. She has always been very switched on/ hands-on, listened to us and to our ideas, gave us open and direct advice (regarding flights, accommodation, restaurants, activities- literally everything).  She even saved me when I got food poisoning from a sandwich and got medicine delivered to me super quickly. She is definitely someone you can trust and I would highly recommend her (and the whole agency) to organise your trip. We are incredibly happy to have gone to Colombia through BnB agency. They organised a proper personalised itinerary for us to match our interests. Without BnB Colombia, we wouldn't have been able to do some of the fun/ different type of activities which they were able to organise using their large network of tour guides. They can really offer any activity from A to Z.  Their tour guides were also top-notch. Especially Alejandro in Medellin. The best tour guide we have ever experienced. Some of the activities we did included a salsa class, a boat party with Colombian dance performance, as well as an indigenous village visit. All of these activities were top quality delivered with top service. We also thought that BnB Colombia offered a very good value for your money compared to some UK agencies which (in my personal view) were a bit of rip off for what they offered. If you are thinking of going through an agency, dont go with a UK agency, definitely go with BnB Colombia. BnB Colombia also made us feel I like a family. We felt like they really cared about us and that we had the best time ever. They were so engaged with us, so supportive. We felt safe at all times, no safety issues at all. They organised the transport everywhere which was always on time (this made me feel bad actually as we were always running late which was embarrassing). The drivers were super patient with us. Paula always texted us the night before about the plan for next day. We didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. Honestly, the only shortcoming of this agency is that I am not sure they cover other countries, otherwise we would 100% book with them again! Michaela & Jonathan"

"This is the second time we have traveled with Kiboko Safaris. The first time was in 2005 and we had such a great trip, that we booked with them again! Kiboko Safari was easy to book with and they catered our accommodation preferences to what we requested."

"I have been dreaming to do this journey for a long time and now i am like in a dream. It is a fabulous trip with this company Alaitol Safaris and the guide Abel is amazing. We have seen more in 3 days then some other people. My dream was seeing a leopard and the driver Abel found them already 3 times. He even found the placenta from a elephant with his new born . We asked our travel agency to give us a guide who has a nose and experience and adventurer and we had the right one. So people if you want adventure and want something amazing book safari with Alaitol Safaris."

What travelers are saying

"I paid $107,000 to take my family on a trip to Patagonia. This company should be called “Unenchanting Travels”. They were absolutely unprofessional in every way. It started with their website payment service being very flawed. There were innumerable examples where the high-end and expensive hotels that they booked for us made egregious errors. These were five star luxury hotels that did not have English-speaking staff. Our point person wound up, becoming overwhelmed and was replaced by her manager, who is similarly grossly inadequate. They repeatedly misinformed us. One example was an occasion when they told us to take an Uber to a hotel where they had made a reservation for us, and indeed, no reservation had been made. When the flight of ours was canceled, which meant that we were going to miss our ship, it fell into our laps to do the planning to try to resuscitate the trip. They essentially told us that they were not feeling well and were overwhelmed. They were repeatedly blamed Problems, which came up on the hotels that they booked for us. I would not come close to this company again and would recommend avoiding them at all costs."

What travelers are saying

"I was scammed by this jacadatravel.com. They have stolen my money 40000USD in the name of investment. They asked me to deposit money at website called www.jacadatravel.com. I have submitted my money 40000USDT in the cryptocurrency. Then later they shifted to a new website called www.jacadatravel.uk. They told me that they have a new platform where I can login my own account. After that they again started asking for money around 28000USDT but I refused to give. Asked them to return my money but they refused to return my money. I tried to contact them on various social networking websites like facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin but they blocked me. On LinkedIn, I contacted Alex Malcolm; he also blocked me immediately. Then customer care at Telegram contacted me saying like Alex Malcolm is Merchant. They refused to return any money. They have opened jacada customer care at Telegram. where they will guide you how to pay and how much we need to pay. I will attach a screenshot of the evidence. In this whole process Alex Malcolm is involved. All the money is with Alex only. Thank you"

Luxury Travel Tour Selection Trips

  • Luxury travel doesn’t have to mean lounging travel. Many luxury trips include active elements, such as skiing. 
  • A ‘label’ doesn’t always equate to a good experience. In fact going on a luxury tour usually means you’re staying in hidden treasures, rather than large luxury chains.
  • Be aware of what’s included. Many luxury tours, and especially cruises, are all inclusive, but not all.

Additional details

Luxury tours help travelers see the world in great comfort, often in private groups and with a dedicated guide. Luxury travel experiences are sometimes the preferred style for visiting more far flung destinations, where the contrast is extreme.

Yet having guaranteed luxury accommodations, and guides to help with getting around, actually make discovering the nuances of exotic cultures more accessible to a wider range of travelers.

5 Top Luxury Travel Experiences

1. Safari - A luxury safari is one of the most quintessential travel experiences. This is one kind of experience where the price tag really does dictate the kind of Africa you see. On a luxury safari, you’ll be treated to private game drives with experienced guides dedicated to making sure you see as much wildlife as possible.

Enjoy spectacular dining - like a white tablecloth lunch on the savannah, and veranda dinners. Accommodations that provide unique views of the African landscape as you enjoy a cocktail on your private balcony.

2. Rainforest Lodge - The rainforest offers experiences for travelers of all stripes, including luxury minded travelers. Imagine staying in an eco-lodge surrounded by lush jungle greenery - the bright colors of tropical birds peeking out within arms length.

Their calls and chirps acting as the only alarm clock you’ll need, and providing a soundtrack for your day. Or perhaps you’ll visit a floating tree house for a night or two, enjoying life above the canopy - watching monkeys dash about the branches.

3. Digital Detox / Wellness retreat - Wellness travel and digital detoxing are becoming very popular themes for travelers, particularly millennials. The digital world is getting harder and harder to break away from so the hefty price tag of these trips seems every more worth it.

They are an investment in one's mental health after all - a way to plug back in to nature and slow down with mediation, focus on health and nutrition, and exercise. If you are the type of person to lament that your yoga mat can’t travel with you, then these kinds of getaways are for you.

4. Ski Lodge - A very popular luxury travel experience for families, ski lodges often have an all inclusive approach that is perfect for a winter vacation. Active young ones can take lessons and hit the slopes with minimal supervision. The best ski lodges are set up to limit the amount of walking time needed to schlep your ski gear everywhere. And after a busy day, you can settle in for some fine dining by the fire!

5. River Cruise - River cruising is the fastest growing segment in luxury travel, and extremely popular among baby boomer and senior travelers. The great appeal of river cruising is the opportunity to visit smaller ports than are accessible to larger ships, unpacking only once, and enjoying panoramic views from the viewing deck as you savor a glass of wine. River cruises can be a great way to see multiple countries, as you take in the changing scenery, landscape, and architecture.
