Enchanting Travels is exactly as its name states. A dream holiday.

If you are thinking of going to Southeast Asia, please consider Bhutan. It is a sight to behold. The people are very accommodating and our hotels provided us with a good night’s sleep at the end of a busy day. The roads here are not all paved so going between the larger towns does take up part of your day, but it is well worth it! The scenery is fantastic! Sometimes you are driving into clouds and when you come out have beautiful mountain views. The food can be spicy, but we told them in the beginning we wanted a milder menu and they did very well with that. We not only saw the tourist side of Bhutan, but went to a home and also a 300 year old farm and were served tea and puffed rice. A very different culture than ours, but the king is doing a great job of working on services to modernize and still keep the look and feel of a “happy” country. I would love to go back in 5 years to see how it has changed. They are improving the roads everyday. It was a wonderful relaxing trip. Thank you Enchanting Travels.

To be able to customize the trip for 4 of us, was excellent! The hotels were all very comfortable and very good quality; the food we were exposed to was delicious; the transfer agents and the guides were professionals and took care of the details so we didn’t have to; and the activities we chose were varied and memorable!!

Our “Enchanting” African experience was made up of two safari stays, a Garden Route tour, a stay in Winelands and a few days in Cape Town. The contrasts between these components and activities is what made our holiday so enjoyable. Enchanting clearly has a good knowledge of the country and provided some outstanding venues. In talking to other first-time visitors to South Africa we realised that we had had a very special experience.

Everything we planned worked exactly as expected. Drivers, tours and tour directors were on time and did an excellent job. We had lots of flights and transfers to and from airports. I did not stress about that at all, after the first day.

My wife was very concerned about going to Africa and security issues – mainly with wildlife in our tent! After 3 or 4 days she was loving it and throughout the whole trip we were informed of what we would be doing and at no point were we left alone in transit from camp to camp, camp to airline etc. Staff at all the camps were wonderful and very knowledgeable. People considering their first trip to Africa should consider Enchanting Travels to ensure a great time and get to see all of the key highlights of Africa. We saw loads of animals (big 5+) but in reality this is nature and the tour guides can not just manufacture a rare species if they are not around at that time.

I have traveled with Enchanting Travels twice now – South Africa and more recently South America. The attention to detail is amazing. From start to finish you have 100% input in your travel plans through both email and phone conversations. Once you have decided on the final itinerary everything just falls into place. When you step off the plane there is a sign with your name on it. While being transported to your accommodation they let you know your daily arrangements and timing. You have constant support from the company by a local Trip Coordinator. I would highly recommend Enchanting Travels.

We cannot thank Enchanting Travels enough for organising our recent holiday to India.

Gunjan, our Travel Consultant, was very helpful in offering suggestions when putting together our itinerary, and very patient when we kept changing our minds. It was great to know that Enchanting are very, very accommodating and flexible in putting a package together.

The fantastic accommodation, the great driver and guides, and the follow up support from our Trip Coordinater, made for a wonderful, calm and relaxed holiday.

We felt like royalty for two weeks – the only problem we have is that now we are back to reality, at home, everything seems quite dull.

Our 5th trip with Enchanting Travels was a three day add-on to tour Rio de Janiero, post Olympics. Enchanting made it effortless to enjoy the amazing sights of Rio – Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Selaron Steps and Imperial Museum. Enchanting remains my go to tour company when traveling in South America, Africa or Southeast Asia.

Enchanting Travels took care of all the details to make our trip memorable, from accommodations to tours.

Dear Enchanting Travels, thanks to you, we had an excellent experience in Peru. From start to finish, you delivered. Our Travel Consultant helped set the stage. Our Trip Coordinator and chauffeurs (apologies for forgetting their names) kept us on schedule, and pointed in the right direction. Our guides Dania, Nancy, Wilda, and Lisela kicked into gear and performed flawlessly … from the minute we landed in Lima … to our departure nine days later. They were knowledgeable, professional, attentive, and friendly. Each, in their own special way, contributed to our positive experience. Our favorite activity was visiting Machu Picchu. Wilda was easy to understand and made the place come alive! All accommodations, experiences, and activities were “as advertised”… and, “better than expected”. Enchanting understands their business, knows how to treat their clients, and fully stands behind their product (wonderful travel, without worry). We tell our friends …”check out Enchanting; you won’t be disappointed.” Thanks for the great memories. Best wishes, Rick and Iveta.

If you want a bespoke trip that gives you what you want and runs as smoothly as any travel experience can while giving you the feeling of independence, then Enchanting is for you, if you need to be part of a group and have a guide with you as a nanny then it is not.

Every detail was considered. Enchanting Travels allowed me to relax rather than worry about the many, many details involved in planning a trip. They think of everything and customize it to your specifications. The entire experience from start to finish was delightful. The company is aptly named.

Our every need or desire was met and even anticipated. From the initial planning to every activity, we were taken care of. The activities were customized for us, including a personal yoga instructor. The elephant encounter was the most amazing experience and in such a happy environment for the animals. Such respect for humans and animals alike. I highly recommend Enchanting Travels and I look forward to our next trip together.

Enchanting Travels provided us with a safe, well organized, fun filled and pleasant trip that gave us memorable life experiences to recall for years to come. I found there was such a good balance between visiting tourist sites as well as relaxing times at absolutely exceptional hotels. I plan to use them again on future holidays. Wonderful drivers and guides! Gisele Sheehan

I feel that the attention and the care provided by our travel consultant and our chauffeur/guide was outstanding and gave us great comfort that we would be looked after well.

You are in good hands with this team. From the selection of the camps and the coordination of the meet and greet to the inter-camp flights, everything went smoothly

We had a great time in Kenya. Very professional services with friendly and helpful staff in all camp sites. Truly an unforgettable experience!
