Jamie was absolutely wonderful

She made us feel heard and valued. I had some hiccups along the way with the deposit and she handled everything in stride! There was no disappointment or frustration in her voice, she just found a solution. We look forward to New Zealand and will return here for an Africa trip!

Enchanting Travels is a class act

Enchanting Travels are true professionals. They know every detail of our travel itinerary and have seasoned people on the ground to guide us. It is worth the money to get the best travel experience possible, especially when going to remote Africa. Our experience was nothing short of first class!

Jonah planned a wonderful tour proposal

Jonah interviewed me about what I wanted to see in a tour. He then turned that into a proposed tour of Italy that reflected what I asked for. He was also very helpful with information and suggestions when we asked questions about different aspects of our trip. A truly knowledgeable, approachable, and creative professional.

We had a fantastic 10 day trip to Peru with the help of Browen Griffith of EC. My wife had been there over 40 years ago and I had never been. Peru is much more than Machu Pichu, which lives up to everything you have heard about it. Our hotels, the guides and all the planning was first rate. We are fairly seasoned travelers and this ranks at the top. We will certainly use Enchanting Travels for our next adventure. They are fantastic.

Enchanting makes every trip great

When you trust your trip to Enchanting you are assured a wonderful travel experience. Everything is taken care of. From the moment you start planning your trip with one of their expert Travel Consultants it all goes smoothly. They listen to your desires, priorities, concerns and idiosyncrasies and design a trip that’s just perfect. Booking and paying for the trip is easy as can be and the hand off to your Trip Coordinator is flawless. We have traveled with them three times and are now in the process of finalizing our fourth trip. Every single employee of Enchanting has been a pleasure to work, very professional, and very, very good at their jobs. The hotels they have recommended have been wonderful and excellently located. The tours have all been great and the local partners reliable and knowledgeable. All of this applies to all of our prior trips. This last trip we took to Africa in particular was absolutely amazing. Everything was just flawless. We felt so pampered, so well taken care of. I can’t wait for our next trip this spring.

Quick alternative options

Quick responses and more importantly quick alternative options given, helped in closing the itinerary promptly ! Since travelled earlier with ET , the travel consultant was sharp to understand our requirements and that really helped as the initial offers were good to close .

Jamie south Africa Tour Director

Jamie, our tour director went above and beyond to put the pieces of the puzzle together for our tour, with less than a month to departure and went over each detail very thoroughly to adjust it to our satisfaction. It will hopefully be one of the trips of a lifetime. This is our second trip with Enchanted Travels and we hope there will be several more to fill our travel bucket list.

The splendor of Antarctica

My son and I experienced an incredible trip to Antarctica. It was truly a trip of a lifetime seeing a place so few really know about. We saw penguins, whales, seals, birds only indigenous to that region. Alison Felfoldi of Enchanting Travels made our experience a truly personal expedition. She listened well to our wants and needs and having experienced Antarctica on her own she knew exactly what would be required and perfect for our travel. Many thanks for always being available and steers us in the right direction of this awesome trip!

Anna Thomas , exceptional planner

Anna Thomas was very adept at planning our trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. She is a keen listener and grasped what I wanted on the trip. Her knowledge of the area, the lodging, game drives and the multitude of options at each stop are exactly what we wanted. The trip plan was exceptional and the actual trip went perfectly, without a hitch.I was truly a trip of a lifetime!I would recommend Anna as a trip planner/coordinator for anyone looking to travel in south and/or east Africa.I certainly plan on using her again.Jerry Cleary

Trip to Alaska

This is the best tour company we have worked with. Great and timely information, along with the ability to patiently answer all of our many questions and concerns. Extremely friendly, which ensured trust from our end. We feel that we can reach out at any time to our travel agent without feeling like it was a bother to her. I would recommend this company to anyone who is planning on traveling, without question.

Mark Pollich did an excellent job creating a great itinerary, providing many tour options that we could keep or remove based on our interests. He responded quickly to our requests and appreciate that he was not pushy or judgmental on any of our decisions. It definitely made the planning process easier, and we look forward to our experience of how this trip to Croatia and Slovenia turns out utilizing the assistance of Enchanting Travel and Mark.

Northern Lights trip to Fairbanks Alaska

We had an amazing trip with Katie and Kenny helping us plan our 50th Anniversay trip to Alaska to see the Northern Lights. The trip was fabulous and we were always able to get help when we needed it. I would definitely recommend using Enchanting Travels and Katie and Kenny to plan your next trip they were so helpful in the planning process as well as during our travels.

6th trip with this travel company

I just used Enchanting Travels for the 6th time for a custom trip to Colombia. I have 2 more trips booked with them within the next year. Enjoy working with them and would definitely recommend them.

Used this company for our first trip to Thailand

Used this company for our first trip to Thailand. Did it cost more to go through them, certainly yes, however we felt pampered, safe, listened to and relaxed. We saw tours that others didn’t see with guides even opining that less than 10 percent of travels saw thing we saw! There was a little adventure in everything, but we felt safe and everything was above board all the time. We had absolutely no hiccups in the three weeks planning. If we had questions our rep answered quickly or we had co tact with a local rep at each stop via WhatsApp.Highly recommend!

Bo Crew knows his stuff

Lisa Fox our former travel consultant was so GOOD that she was promoted. But we have stayed in touch with Ms. Fox and when we were ready to plan our next international trip to Peru (Machu Picchu and Galapagos Islands) she referred us to Mr. Bo Crew. Lisa introduced my wife and I to Bo and the took off from there. After our initial interview, Bo followed up with some suggested places and plans. Bo was very patient as my wife and I worked ourselves through the work up. As anyone trying to schedule a ‘big trip’ nows, you almost always have a stumble or two. You know, the perfect itinerary gets blown up when a lodge or cruise line is sold out. Bo helped us massage our plans to fit all our ‘wants’ into our schedule. We were a challenge, but Bo stuck with us and we just submitted our deposit and we can’t wait to share or Enchanting travel plans with our friends and family. We are obviously returning customers and this is just one example why! Thanks Bo.

Our trip to southern India was Perfect thanks to Enchanting Travels

Our trip to southern India was customized for us by Enchanting Travels based on suggested itineraries from their website. The two of us spent 22 days with 2 different drivers, the first in Karnataka and the second in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They were excellent drivers and the SUV was always spotless. They also spoke reasonably good English so we were able to learn about the areas we were driving through and the Indian culture. The local coordinator was available by What’s App and frequently checked in with us to see how the trip was going. She also changed our internal flights on short notice and had someone meet us at the airport with our boarding passes! We really felt we were never alone. We are totally spoiled now that we have travelled with Enchanting Travels and will definitely travel with them again! This is a first class organization!

Easiest trip planning ever!

Tanzania Trip: Excellent Preparation and Organization

Enchanting Travels did a wonderful job helping us plan and organize our trip to Tanzania. The attention to detail and customization helped feel very much at ease with the whole process. The communication with our travel associates (Alison Felfoldi here in the US, and Ruth Mbugua in Africa) was straight forward. They were always open to answer any questions we had. And since this was our first ever trip to Africa we had a lot of questions! During our trip, Ruth regularly touched base with us. Since everything was so well organized there were no problems at all. The lodges and camps were well chosen. From the warm welcome on arrival, carrying our luggage to setting up chairs at the fire for happy hour, the service we enjoyed in each of them was stellar. A special touch was the private dinner with a bottle of wine on the second last day. Our driver and guide Natho had encyclopedic knowledge about wildlife as well a superb driving skills: It was amazing what details he know about the animals, and how many birds he pointed out to us (we encountered and observed over 30 different animals – incl. the Big Five – and over 100 different species of birds!)This trip went beyond our expectations and we will cherish the experience forever. We will never forget sitting under the acacia tree in the sunset watching the giraffes pass by or observing the behavior of a herd of elephants just feet away from us.

Mark Pollich was great while helping us organize our Alps honeymoon. He came with a lot of great initial ideas and worked with us to accommodate our own activities to create a full itinerary! He made the planning process so much easier and we’re grateful for his expertise.

Costa Rica Adventures

OMG—this was the best experience ever! We have used Enchanting Travels for other trips and had such great experiences that we used them for our trip to Costa Rica and they truly went over and above. We went with our good friends, two other couples, and Alison Felfoldi was our coordinator and she did such an awesome job! It was a big birthday for me and when I got to the room they had the most beautiful bouquet of flowers and a lovely cheese board. Then when we went to dinner, she set up a beautiful treetop dining experience overlooking the rainforest and city below on my birthday. We stayed in 3 different locations throughout Costa Rica and each time she had drivers to meet our party and take us on our journeys. The drivers were very informative and helpful as some of the locations were 3-4 hours driving distance. The resorts we stayed at were all fabulous and the excursions were so much fun. We did have heavy rains on one occasion, but were still able to enjoying the birds and wildlife as the storm cleared up while on our trek. Also, I have knee problems and had a knee replacement surgery scheduled for when I returned. Alison made sure that she got me a cane for all the hikes that we would go on. All and all it was a truly wonderful experience!!

Super knowledgeable and collaborative

Super knowledgeable and collaborative. I felt like we planned the trip together in a good way. She did all the work, but I felt like she really paid attention to what I felt comfortable with and wanted to do. I would highly reccommend Stephanie to any of my friends who want to plan a trip to Vietnam.

Cannot Recommend

We were promised by the person who sold us the trip that a highly capable trip coordinator in the time zone in which we would be traveling would manage our trip. Instead we got an unqualified one in a different time zone. It wasn’t until after we complained that we got what we were promised. And then we received virtually zero follow up from management to inquire as to how things were going. In fact, a post-travel, emailed survey was our only unsolicited contact with management. We were not made aware that we’d have to make our own way to rental car pick ups and drop offs or that there would be a NZD250 charge for each one way rental. We had to request that the confirmation of our bookings be done by ET, rather than having to track them and confirm them on our own during our vacation time. ET expected us to do them, which was especially lame. Additionally, our lodging was highly inconsistent, ranging from wonderful to pretty darn bad. Finally, we were never informed, and should have been up front, that a third party company was being used to actually book things, which seems deceptive. Overall the level of attention to detail and customer care was well below what we’ve experienced with other travel agencies, until we became a squeaky wheel, and finally got a very capable, tuned in trip advisor, in Megan.

Lyndsey and Enchanted Travel make our lives easier

Honestly, we are grateful to have worked on our previous trip with Lyndsey Duguay. “Thinking out loud”/planning with Lyndsey is always pleasant. She is the BEST listener and consistently comes up with great suggestions. SHE is the #1 reason we love Enchanted Travels but of course, all of the details that the company takes care of for us are top notch. It’s hard to imagine taking future trips without Lyndsey and Enchanted Travels NOT being involved in some way.

Great help with planning our holiday of a lifetime

From the moment I submitted my initial enquiry on their website through to finally booking our holiday of a lifetime, the service from Andy was superb! I felt he was extremely passionate about the country and had first hand experience of travelling around Japan. He made some great recommendations for places that we hadn’t initially thought about visiting, saving us a lot of time in research. He was incredibly patient when we requested several amendments to the proposed itinerary. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. All information was explained in detail and I felt that all our questions were answered thoroughly. Amazing customer service!
