This was a trip of a lifetime. Everything was as we expected. The hotels were as described and matched what was important to me: location and cleanliness being high on my list, as well as reasonable cost. Our group all came from different directions so there was lots of airport pick ups and we appreciated that. The biking routes were fantastic with many picturesque views of the sea.

This was a trip of a lifetime. Everything was as we expected. The hotels were as described and matched what was important to me: location and cleanliness being high on my list, as well as reasonable cost. Our group all came from different directions so there was lots of airport pick ups and we appreciated that. The biking routes were fantastic with many picturesque views of the sea. I loved visiting the olive oil museum and had a fabulous lunch there. Another highlight was the lunch on Mljet. My favorite island was Korcula. Our guide, Borna , was great. Always waiting for us at strategic points and always making sure we had water and snacks. Plus he had a great sense humor and great music. He made it fun. He solved problems like when the navigation app was not working and when our day was threatened by rain. Overall the planning and service was great. I’d love to do another adventure with them.

Dear Sandy,

Thank you very much for your feedback, very much appreciated. And as i always say, thank you for your trust.
I understand you got into the unknown, and into some areas you never hear of, therefore, even more, we appreciate your trust. Everything I suggest i do personally, and it was a pleasure sharing my knowledge and showing the best of the area, and its most attractive, but not necessarily well-known parts.
Sending many regards to all of you from still sunny Croatia!
THANK YOU!!

We took a three week trip Sept-October 2025 and went clockwise around the country. This enabled us to see remote areas in the West Fjords before they closed for the season as well as to get to the "Golden Circle" after most tourists had left. We took several tours--an informative and very fun jeep tour in West Fjords with Dr. Gisli Margislason, a Northern Lights tour out of Isafjordur with Gudmundur Valdimarsson-- he really taught us how to see and photograph the lights--we saw them a total of 6 nights--the first time with him! Kari Timsson took us on a glacier hike in Skaftafell--He made sure the trip was fun and safe for everyone. Dagur Larusson gave delicious and very fun food tour of Reykjavik. (He is also starting food tours in Akureyri!). Each of these guides were warm, outstanding, fun, knowledgeable and accommodating to the needs of everyone in the group. All of the geo thermal hot springs we visited were great (Hussafell Canyon Baths--great guide for this one too, Forest Lagoon Pool, Myvatn Nature Baths, and Sky Lagoon).

They were passionate about the experiences they provided to us, were well versed in history and regional information and were kind and accommodating throughout.

Our cooking class with Emmy who runs La Cuisine De Leki was magical. Her intent is not to have a technical cooking class, but to let you experience what it's like to be invited to a French home for a home cooked meal with friends or family, and she certainly succeeded.

Lucie and Slimane made this happen over months of planning with my Mom, with frequent changes and updates, but their patience and knowledge certainly turned this into a memorable trip.

The same is true for our trip to Greece. We spent 10 days splitting the time between Athens, Naxos (a trip to Mykonos), and Santorini.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the team at Original Travels for being so responsive and patient throughout the planning process. Your guidance and attention to detail helped us organize a truly wonderful honeymoon experience in Morocco, and we’re so grateful for your help from start to finish.

A major highlight of our trip was the incredible fortune we had in being paired with Soufiane as our driver. He quickly became a friend and made every part of our journey easier, safer, and more enjoyable. His professionalism, kindness, and insight into Moroccan culture brought great peace of mind and added so much to the experience. We truly cannot express how great he was — a genuine part of what made our trip special.

Marrakesh:
We really enjoyed our time in Marrakesh. Riad Elegancia was beautiful, comfortable and welcoming, with wonderful staff who decorated our room for our honeymoon which was a very nice surprise. We especially have to thank the evening attendant who gave us perfect dinner recommendations. Highlights included our hammam experience at La Mason Arabe and the sunrise hot air balloon ride — both unforgettable. We also loved exploring the square in the evening, surrounded by music, lights, and energy. The guided tour was informative, and wandering the Medina both with and without a guide gave us a great feel for the city.

Ouarzazate:
The drive through the Atlas Mountains was a memorable adventure on its own. When we arrived, an unexpected rain storm changed our plans a bit, so we skipped the movie studio and instead relaxed at the hotel. The staff went above and beyond by decorating our room for our honeymoon, a very thoughtful touch, and a beautiful hotel.

Desert Camp:
The desert camp experience was incredible and unique. The accommodations were very comfortable for the setting, and the food and evening entertainment were excellent. Our only issue was a lack of clear communication from the camp about what to expect from the day tour with them. This tour overall was our least favorite activity of the trip. We were looking forward to spending time with a Berber family and learning about their culture, but our guide clearly did not want us to engage with the local people and it was obvious when he told the women who approached us (at two different camps) not to talk to us. We were prepared to leave some money for them (as was recommended), but we never got the opportunity. For the next stop, we were interested in listening to the local African music, but once we got there, it felt incredibly exploitative. It didn't seem like the musicians ever had a break and the managers (we think?) were clearly pushing them to be more lively. I would love to support this community, but I really encourage anyone with some power to look out for these men and make this a less exploitative experience. Lastly, we were left at a very empty hotel for several hours with limited options. When we arrived at the hotel, it was dark, no one was there except for two sleeping attendants, and our guide said, "OK, you hang out here now, I'll be back in 5 hours. And if you want to swim, pay them 100 Mad (which we did because there was nothing else to do)", and then walked away leaving us standing there confused and uneasy. Our guide also said he had to get back to the camp for work as it was a very busy time with lots of guests, stranding us. The only reason we even had our bathing suits was because the night before we overheard the couple next to us at dinner be told to bring theirs, so we packed one just in case. We never discussed this with our guide (he actually told us not to worry about the tour the night before during the music portion when we asked what the plan was) and if it was up to us, we would not have gone to a pool, at all.

However, we greatly appreciated how quickly Original Travels stepped in when we contacted them and helped arranged an ATV excursion — which turned out to be one of the highlights of the desert portion of our trip and we highly recommend. When we got dropped off to go back to the camp, I could discern a conversation that our driver had with the owner and our guide about this and our guide was not truthful when he said we were the ones who asked to go to the pool early. As stated above, we had never talked with him about it and it was clearly untrue with how fast we tried to find another activity. It also felt uncomfortable for us to be left at a pool when it's clear many villages do not have water in nor around the desert. It seemed a bit unethical and like a really bad thing to do as a visitor to the country. I would not recommend this tour to anyone going to Merzouga.

Outside of this tour; however, we did really enjoy our desert experience. We also want to highlight the kindness shown by the camp in preparing a special honeymoon cake for us our first night that we were able to share with the other guests. They very much went above and beyond in celebrating our honeymoon with a special song and dance and we truly appreciated these gestures and the kindness shown by employees of the camp and the other guests. This cake and music surprise was definitely a trip highlight.

Fez:
Fez was one of our favorite stops. The Riad and its location inside the old city were fantastic, the breakfast at the Riad was delicious, and our guided tour here was the best of the trip. We took our guide’s advice and avoided the Medina at night, but loved exploring it during the day. The city’s energy and authenticity left a lasting impression.

Rabat:
Our stop in Rabat was a great way to break up the drive north, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed seeing Morocco’s coastal side.

Casablanca:
While Casablanca offered fewer tourist sites, we enjoyed our time there, especially visiting the Hassan II Mosque and walking the boardwalk. It was a relaxing way to end our journey. The Mosque is incredible and our dinner, recommended by Souf, was delicious and fun.

Finally, we want to thank Original Travels and Soufiane again for their assistance when our return flight was unexpectedly canceled. Your swift help rearranging our stay near the airport and ensuring we were taken care of right up to our departure was deeply appreciated.

Overall, our honeymoon in Morocco was an unforgettable experience — filled with beauty, culture, warmth, and adventure. We would happily recommend Original Travels and Soufiane to anyone considering exploring Morocco.

We had many guides and I am not sure I can remember them all but Mohamed was great, lots of fun on the food tour, encouraging us to try everything, even the snail soup! It was good. Sharif was also a great guide and shared his knowledge of Fez. Rabat, Meknes, Volubilis, Chefchaouen, all amazing and grateful to have seen them all. Faissel even arranged a guide, Omar, to take us on a hike at Akchour. Great hike, good to be out of the car for a bit. So many amazing experiences. The medinas sounded like they could be a scary place, (I don't like knowing I may get lost), but we managed to navigate them, only getting lost once. We never felt unsafe. Faissel checked on us all the time when he was not with us, making sure we didn't need anything. All in all the trip was beyond any expectations I had. Beautiful country and people.

The trip to the Duoro Valley with wine tasting and lunch was spectacular. Philip made the day. Clearly he has a passion for this area and he shared that with us. I loved the family story behind the Quinta Do Roncao! Such love and warmth shared with us from Eunice, vineyard owner. Such a full and memorable day. The next day we were off to Lisbon. We were picked up by our driver, Albano. At our request, he was happy to make an unexpected quick detour to Obidos. We were so grateful. Such a beautiful place and we were thrilled to have had the opportunity to visit. In Lisbon we were taken to the Hotel Britania Art Deco. Yet another gorgeous, comfortable , welcoming place. Our tuk tuk tour with Catarina was a great way to get around and get the lay of then land. In the evening Pedro took us to enjoy dinner with Fado experience. Very enjoyable. Finally we had a fabulously full day in Sintra and Cascais. Nuno, so very passionate about the Pena Palace and its history and regailed us with so many stories of the past.He even managed to get us a visit at the Chalet of the Condessa d' Elda. Such an unusual and beautiful place and well worth the long walk from the palace. What can I say about the Initiation Well?? Certainly a site not to be missed, but very crowded. Though it was crowded the line did move along fairly quickly. So many experiences here in Portugal and I am sure I probably forgot some people or places. I'm exhausted!! The only thing I would have changed would have been taking 2 days in Sintra. We could have spent so much more time exploring that area. Guess we will have to come back. Thank you Adam for all your help and for keeping track of us while we were traveling.

The cliffs, lava tunnel and mountains were incredible to see with the low hanging clouds even in the rain. Really gave you the idea of how the vikings believed some of the things they did. Overall an incredible experience.

We nicknamed the trip "Trains, planes and automobiles". She booked every step of the way. The hotel rooms were all 1st class and in "safe" areas. The chauffer transfers were on time and more than just a ride. One example was the transfer from our hotel in Paris to the train station. The driver picked us up on time, loaded our luggage and drove us to the train station. When we arrived, she grabbed our luggage and walked us into the train station to our train platform. This was above and beyond.
Our guided tours in Italy and France were personal guided tours. Not a group of 20 or 30 people with headsets trying to follow a wandering guide. By personal, I mean we were the only people on the tour with the guide. Very personal and informative. We had a one-on-one informative tour on all of the tours.
The train travel was all booked as first class and the car rentals were top of the line vehicles. We were given clear instructions on where to pick up and where to drop off the rentals.
We were able to enjoy a personalized tour of each of the sites we had chosen and did not have to worry about the travel or overnight details.
We would highly recommend KimKim and Justine for an enjoyable, personalized, and carefree vacation.
