“We used Exoticca twice, most recently for the 8 Days in the Hashemite Kingdom (Jordan). Well organised great trips both. One flaw though is that neither groups had an introduction meeting or ice-breaker at the start. I think a 20 minute chance to meet your fellow travelers would be very useful and enjoyable. We spent a lot of time on transport between sites and didn’t necessarily have the chance to meet everyone. There were several people whose names I didn’t know by the end of the trip. We did a trip to Asia with Trailfinders 2 years ago and they did an introduction which helped the group cohesion and relations, in fact we still keep in touch with some of those people.”
“Enjoyed our adventure to South Africa and Zimbabwe immensely. Helpful staff both before and during our stay and the price is very competitive. It was an excellent itinerary. Full on with not much down time but it meant we saw so much in our two weeks. All six of our flights were on time. Shame we didn’t have checked baggage included in our outbound and inbound flights which would have made our lives easier and the travelling day from Kruger to Cape Town was too long. We set off at 7.30am and arrived in Cape Town at midnight. A lot of this time was the 5 hour lay over in Johannesburg airport!
Accommodation in Kruger and Victoria Falls was excellent but the hotel in Cape Town could have been better. The excursions were excellent.
Despite those few niggles, it really was the holiday of a lifetime and we will definitely book again with Exoticca. Thank you!”
“Our trip to Costa Rica was exceptional, it exceeded our expectations in all respects except one. The trip put together by Exoticca was brilliant. The transport from one part of the trip to the next was always on time, the drivers were helpful, knowledgable and personable. The guides provided for the activities were also exceptional. the only issue was the fact that the outward and inward flights did not include hold luggage and it was not possible to add this until check in which added a layer if unnecessay stress.”
“This was a great holiday put together by exotica. The slight snags were the quality of the guides. The Northern circuit guide was hard to understand. He also left the coach toilet almost non functioning. The Southern circuit guide kept the 🎤 close to his mouth making it impossible to understand what he was saying. Also, the driver had to sometimes drive for over 6 hours in a day. That was worrying for many people.
Whole of South Africa is amazing and apart from one, all the hotels were of reasonable quality.
Exotica did very well and people of the group I interacted with, all enjoyed the holiday immensely.”
“The organisation was great the guides were grt the hotels were great the excursions were great
The only small thing was the hotel coffee in the room was awful lol”
“Great help from your assistant - informative and had a great knowledge of the booking procedure.
Pity we were told to wait as we were being transferred to Customer services - we ended the call as they still hadn't responded after ten minutes!”
“As an avid traveller, I like new exciting experiences not your run-of-the mill ‘Costa del Sol’. I spent a while looking for somewhere different to go for summer 2026 and luckily stumbled across Exoticca.
As I browsed through their packages, destinations and itineraries I was instantly impressed. So many amazing, unique places. After making my final choice, the staff were very friendly, informative and knowledgeable. The price I paid for what I got was an absolute bargain as it included everything, except lunch.
I’ve not give 5* as I’ve not been yet, but will happily return and upgrade my review if all goes as planned this summer. Also, prices depend on when you travel! As a teaching professional I can only travel in peak season. However, what I paid and what I got was far cheaper than any other provider.
Highly recommend using Exoticca if you want a unique, experience with everything thrown in. The itinerary is amazing as there’s nothing worse than going abroad and faffing around trying to figure out what to do or where to go. Here, it’s all done for you.”
“This is the first time I have used Exotica for a trip to Peru, I found the on line booking process more complicated than I expected, and whilst I thought I had completed every requirement, apparently I had not and exited the system too early without sufficient warning that certain details were still required.”

“I HAVE MADE THE BOOKING WITH EXOTICCA, HAVING TRAVELLED BEFORE WITH THEM, AND THE GENTLEMAN WHO DID THE BOOKING WAS PATIENT WITH ME, DUE TO THE PRICES ON THE WEBSITE CAUSING ME CONFUSION. THEY APPEARED TO BE LOWER THAN THEY ACTUALLY WERE, BUT IN THE END I DECIDED TO BOOK, BECAUSE THE END PRICE WAS STILL COMPETETIVE.”
“First time with Exoticca. Absolutely loved every minute.
Worry free adventure filled to brim with excursions. Riad our tour guide was informative,caring, kind, helpful and houmourous.
Hotels were clean and staff very hospitable at Gerasa Hotel, wadi Rum and Town Season at Petra.
Food was overflowing at Gerasa Hotel. And lunches were available (at cost) arranged by the guide.
Riad took us to reasonably priced restaurants and shops.
It was top of my bucket list and so glad I went through Exoticca... looking for my next trip now....”

“We have just booked our second tour with exotticca. Online booking easy to use. However please take caution when booking flights as we felt misleading. It states you can book luggage after choosing flights.so as we scrolled the flights became 2 stops so we stopped and booked the flight without additional luggage.turns out we should have scrolled lower. We then rang customer services 45 mins waiting on phone waiting to sort.anywsy management sorted it for us.
Pricing seems very good.
Trip choices very good.
Hotel categories nice to have choice.
Our sri lanka trip with them was amazing 👏”
