I have traveled with Exoticca twice so far (3rd trip to Egypt coming up in September!) and the value you receive for the cost is unbeatable! Highly recommend!
Third time using Exoticca always meet great folk along the way. Trips are very well organized. The tour guides are very friendly.

We toured Portugal with Exoticca. We would not have had the insight and resources to coordinate such a great introduction to Portugal, it's culture, and the rich history. We feel like we got a good taste of northern Portugal and we're able to experience things we would not have seen on our own.
Hello Stan,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great time on your trip to Portugal. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Communication was not as good as expected. Left at hotel with no instructions about next day. Breakfast was very basic. Hotel lacking in amenities

9 days of traveling in comfort and sleeping in hotels where we woke up to a hearty breakfast every morning. From booking this trip to the airport pick up, hotel transfers, timely and appropriate stops for meals, and finally back to the airport, we were well taken cared of. The best part of this trip is our tour guide, Matthew, who stayed with us the whole time. He is so knowledgeable and even knew the tiny tidbit about Magellan and Lapulapu. He gave the best food recommendations. He is so good at what he does, we all didn't even know that he was not feeling well until the end of our trip. And even if he was not well, he made sure that those of us who had early morning flights got a boxed breakfast ready upon checkout.
I cannot *******@exoticca enough! Thank you for giving us one of the best experiences of our lives.
DM me for $100 off your first trip with them!

I wasn't sure what to expect travelling to Iceland, but I was blown away. It is incredible. Our guide was so knowledgeable, fun, and kind, and he added so much to the trip. I would recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys nature and the outdoors. I felt safe at all times. I can't say enough good things about this trip.

This was our third trip with Exotica. We were impressed that vans were already waiting to pick us up from the airport. No waiting on our side. Hotels were great and centrally located. Staff at the hotels were helpful. Our tour guides in Rome, Florence and Venice were very knowledgeable and passionate in sharing the history and culture of their home towns.
Jacob was able to effectively handle a few very challenging personalities.
Although this was a very fast pace tour for seniors, all of us enjoyed it.
We shall soon be planning our next year's trip with Exotica.

Great time, our tour guides Tony and Sam were excellent! Very knowledgeable and extremely experienced. Also the drivers were safe and experienced. I would off a photographer to hire at key locations in order to capture the events.

Although it was a good trip, there was lots of driving. We clocked in about 2,000 km! The bus was comfortable, the driver was excellent and the guide was good.
The hotels were hit or miss with different levels of comfort and limited choices of breakfast items (We planned to upgrade the accommodation part on our next trip.) Be prepared for long stops at stores/factories for demonstration of carpet, leather, pottery, teas/herbs/candies. In all, it was a good trip if you wanted to see many historical sites and buy local products.

It was amazing. The guide we had for the week did an excellent job. Ines is the best in my opinion. Also the bus drive made me feel safe.

Ecuador is fortunate to have a variety of weather and locations. Our favorite part was visiting the Galapagos, which was an amazing experience for everyone. I will always cherish the memories of swimming with seals, turtles, rays, and sharks.

Simon was a great help. Confirmed that our extra Sahara nite in desert was worth it as his wife did the same trip. Looking forward to our 11 days in Morocco. Have done several great trips with Exoticca
I received excellent help from Mark with tour booking for Nordic Paradise. He applied discount coupons to make the trip very affordable. He was very patient on reviewing booking details and made sure I was comfortable with the flights schedule. Thank you Mark!

I just booked a tour with Pino yesterday. Overnight, I realized I have made a huge mistake with date selection. I called Exoticca at early morning requesting for correction. Someone answered and left a note for Pino. A few hours later, Pino called and worked with customers services to cancel and rebook. The entire process ran thru smoothly. Everyone was eager to help. I am so thankful!
Answer: I've done 4 trips with Exoticca just booked a 5 th. All excellent and amazing value for money The tour guides are excellent and the organisation of the trips is also excellent The trips are very busy often travelling for many hours each day and although amazing value for the price - don't expect 5 star hotels unless you upgrade to superior I would highly recommend
Answer: Thank you for your question! We do not apply any discounts if the full balance is paid in advance. We offer a simple 60% deposit on booking and 40% 60 days before departure. You may pay earlier if you prefer. As our packages are already heavily discounted we are unable to offer this service. Exoticca
Answer: We travel to Portugal last year with exotica this is our fourth trip with them. We went to Greece, including the islands this past April and our best trip was the Cape Town Africa trip. There is no scam. Their tour guides are awesome in the countries
