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.

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.

Galapagos is a must see
April 3, 2025

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.

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!

We took a fabulous trip to Portugal, in which we covered so many interesting towns and cathedrals, as well as taking a cruise down the Duoro River and going to a fun Fado dinner. We ate the most delicious seafoods, met the local people, and learned so much from our guide Eduardo, who was very knowledgeable and presented the historical, the geographical, and the political aspects of this beautiful country in a very interesting way. Our driver, Diago, navigated the narrow streets with expertise and was always so friendly, smiling and helpful!
An outstanding experience.

Good tour of the port cities of Portugal, lots of history, very disappointed we couldnt see the main palance in Sintra and its gardens, the pouring rain made it too muddy and difficult to navigate and it was our number one thing we wanted to see in Portugal.

Great Trips again and again!
March 30, 2025

We just came back from PerĂº through Exoticca! We had a fantastic trip! Exoticca makes traveling easy and takes the work out of planning a trip. Everything went smoothly and we saw many things Peru has to offer like Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. Highly recommend Exoticca and will definitely continue using them to book or plan my next trips.

Very good
March 27, 2025

Exottica is great but maybe they need to reconsider their choices of hotels. The first two were decent the last hotel was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. No lights and when mentioned, it was not taken care of. TV did not work and they never fixed the issue even though it was mentioned several times. Dirty bathrooms outside the room.

LOVED IT. Just travel and enjoy!
March 19, 2025

This was the first time I have ever traveled with a group and not planned it all myself. I will never plan it all again. This was so great! All I had to be responsible for was getting to the bus on time. The guide was AMAZING. So knowledgable and friendly. It was great to have the same person throughout and the same driver. All the excursions were awesome. My only, very small complaint, was there wasn't enough time as some of the stops. I would have liked to have had the option to stay an hour longer if the group wanted. But the best part about being in a travel tour is I didn't have to think! Just enjoy! I will absolutely travel with Exoticca again. Amazing value.
