“I just booked a holiday to Egypt with Exotica representative Matt and wanted to praise the help, patience and lovely manner of the call. I have previously traveled with Exotica and had a wonderful and very memorable trip .”
“Overall a great experience , very well put together easing the burden & stress with point to point rep guidance / assistance at every stage - some minor issues as woundâve been expected - Ie how to politely & firmly deal with local traders
Due to inconvenient flight times, lost a day compared to friends we had traveled with ?
Despite this I would highly recommend travelling with Exotica đ đ”
“My husband and I have just returned from a fabulous trip to China. Despite initial concerns that it seemed to cheap we booked and were thrilled. Mostly the hotels were great, Chengdu not so much and the guides passionate and knowledgeable about their respective cities. We will definitely be booking another trip through Exoticca, as we loved China!”
“I have just booked a Ha Long Bay to Angkor Wat holiday for December 26, initially online but had a lovely chat with Mark about the finer details. So far so good!”
“An amazing itinerary covering breathtaking sights both above and below the water. Wonderful, friendly people everywhere. Good hotels and seem less travel. Couldnât have been better.”
“The trip was very well organised from start to finish. My outbound flight was at a civilized hour and the airline was excellent. The meet and greet at my destination went exactly as planned and all accommodation I stayed in was clean and the staff at each were welcoming and extremely helpful. If I had one criticism it would be that the Nile Cruise was very tiring, due to a very early flight to Aswan followed by some very early morning departures for excursions. Maybe a temple less with a little more relaxation time would improve the schedule and overall experience. The guides for both parts of my trip were excellent - very knowledgeable and helpful in all respects.
The only disappointment was that the final three days had to be re-arranged because of travel restrictions imposed by the Egyptian Government. One whole day was wasted when we travelled two and a half hours to our next destination, only to be turned around to travel back, although we did get lunch first! Hassein, our guide did a fantastic job in organising an alternative programme, although from a personal point of view, I was pretty much 'temple and tomb' ed out! I had been looking forward to the contrast of the desert activities but I accept that this was beyond the control of anyone - except Mr Trump!
My taxi from the final hotel to the airport was on time and the help with checking in was much appreciated.
This is my third holiday with Exoticca and it will not be my last.”
“A well priced holiday but the excursions seemed expensive. Hotels all fab, some meals better than others. Great guide and driver. Pegasus flights on time, allowed my small backpack in the cabin on the way out but charged 20 euros to bring it on board for return flight (didn't use our 20 kg allowance). Overall a wonderful holiday, have been with exoticca before and would book again with them.”
“Writing
This was my second time using this travel agency, and once again, it has been an amazing experience. They offer hands-down great prices, which makes planning a holiday much more accessible and stress-free.
One of the standout features is their appâit provides all the information you need for your travels in one place, which is incredibly convenient. The itinerary matched the booking perfectly, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
The guides they work with are excellentâfriendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the countryâs history and traditions. They were always helpful and accommodating, which really enhanced the overall experience. Transfers were also well-organized and reliable, making the entire trip feel seamless and relaxed.
I will definitely be booking more holidays with them in the future. One suggestion I would make is to offer more options for solo travellers, including better pricing and a wider range of dates. Additionally, customer service could be improvedâhaving to go through AI responses can be quite frustrating when you need direct assistance.
Overall, a fantastic experience and a company I would happily recommend.”
“Another wonderful trip with Exoticca, Mehmet our guide around Turkey was really knowledgeable and entertaining. The group we were with was also amazing, met some really lovely people that we will keep in touch with. This trip for my husband 70th Birthday has really turn out to be one of the memorable one's.
Well Done Exoticca !”
“Well done Exoticca, once again you have exceeded our expectations with a wonderful, life enhancing trip this time to Egypt. An action packed 7 day itinerary which left us feeling we had really experienced this friendly country at its best. The new GEM was the icing on the cake, simply awe inspiring.”
“What we loved: China is an amazing country. Its growth in the last 25-30 years has been immense, and yet it has maintained its sense of community and society.
What we appreciated: Our guides. They were very informative and knowledgeable.
What annoyed us: There was a minority of people who wanted to travel around some of the places on their own, which is fine. What was not fine was how they used the guides to find out how to use the metros to get to places. The guides are for people doing the trip and not for personal assistance for those individuals who want to travel independently. A few people were also rude, saying they could not understand some of the guides. However, if they stopped talking and asking guides irrelevant questions then they might have understood what was being said. Despite this, the guides did really well to be patient and to make sure that everyone had a good time.”
