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!

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.

Portugal 2025.

Lisbon Obidos Nazare Tomar Coimbra Porto Amarante Regua Pinhão Douro Valley Porto Lisbon

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!

Incredible Iceland trip
April 9, 2025

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.

Great Trip
April 8, 2025

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.

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.

Booking and correction

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!
