guest testimonials

“From our initial thoughts on a visit to South Africa, Albee guided us through different options and preferences to develop for us a fantastic and varied programme of activities. Her knowledge of the country, the accommodation that might suit us and the intricacies of travelling around were invaluable. And crucially her personal and meticulous attention both at the planning stage and during our visit meant a seamless, relaxed, and worry-free trip that was the perfect winter-break in a most beautiful country.”

MR & MRS J

“If you have never travelled with a tour operator before then think again! Albee organised the most amazing trip for us completely tailored to our specific requirements while at the same time making sure we did not miss out on anything we might have overlooked or not known about. Everywhere we stayed we had wonderful rooms chosen by Albee, unique experiences, and were totally spoilt. We had excellent guides and drivers and did not have to worry about a thing. From the second we arrived at our destination, we knew that everything was superbly organised. It is the best and only way to travel especially if you are exploring a new area and you want to make sure you get the most out of it. Albee provided a very personal service throughout our trip and made sure that we would never forget what was an exceptional holiday.”

MR & MRS G

“Having always wanted to visit South Africa, I contacted Albee to arrange a week’s holiday to celebrate my 50th birthday. I was certainly not disappointed. Albee organised an incredible trip to include all that Plettenberg Bay (In South Africa) has to offer. From game drives to nature walks, whale watching, and numerous restaurants to enjoy, plus markets and stunning beaches, a week was simply not long enough. I will definitely be contacting Albee to book my next holiday to Africa.”

MRS C-D

“Albee asked lots of important questions about what exactly we wanted to do on our holiday. She chose a really good hotel, and recommended which sort of room we should stay in (in an adults-only area!), as well as giving guidance on things to do locally while we were there, and some really good restaurant recommendations. She totally understands that sometimes just having downtime is what you want, and was very helpful in proposing excellent local restaurants and making all the bookings. No detail was too small, and everything ran like clockwork. Albee was in touch ahead of the visit, as well as following up afterward to see how it had all gone.“

Rebecca & Phil Shelley: Travelled to The Ritz-Carlton Abama, Tenerife

“What a beautiful island, with exquisite food and exceptional staff, especially our lovely butler Musthooq. The whole holiday was perfectly organised by Albee, who went out of her way to make sure that my husband had the most wonderful birthday, to include an upgrade, complimentary massages, a fishing trip, and plenty of champagne! We are now ready to start planning our next adventure with Albee!“

Hilary & John Griffiths: Travelled to Six Senses Laamu, the Maldives

“Madagascar is my new favourite place. I am honestly blown away by it. The scenery is breathtaking, the people so friendly and humble, great food, unbelievable wildlife viewing and it’s quite unlike anywhere else I’ve ever been. It’s completely stolen my heart. Thank you so much for suggesting it and creating such a memorable experience. We can’t wait to return for my next big birthday next year and take all the family to Constance Tsaranbanjina!”

Mr & Mrs Gueniau:Travelled to Madagadscar

“Thank you for helping to make Amanda’s birthday a special one. We returned to the room on Thursday night to find a cake, champagne, balloons, and a card. Always nice to be surprised. Checking out tomorrow and back in a few days. The Four Seasons Bangkok is fantastic as always.“

Jeremy & Amanda Jiracek: Travelling to The Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, Thailand

“The Austrian lakes in October might not be everyone’s idea of a holiday but we wanted the best health and wellness spa available to recharge for a week and Albee recommended Mayrlife (previously known as the Viva Mayr) and she was absolutely spot on. A wonderful place to rest and relax in luxury overlooking the exquisite Lake Altausee. A complete health check is available. You see a doctor every day for optimal health. A wide variety of other treatments and therapies are available. Almost all guests are repeat visitors who view their annual visits as essential. Thank you Albee for pointing us in the right direction, arranging a free upgrade and transfers.”
