Having never traveled to Europe, found it overwhelming. Exotica took over and planned the perfect trip through Italy for an amazing price!

Balloons over Cappadocia
November 19, 2024

Turkey was amazing so many things to see lots of beautiful mosques to visit. For me, the highlight of the trip was definitely the balloon ride over Cappadocia, which was gorgeous and hundreds of balloons.

Ecuador
November 17, 2024

This was our first time traveling with Exoticca. It was fantastic. There was multiple flights and excursions, and each one had someone waiting for us to make sure we had everything we needed and was right on time. The accommodations were very nice. We really could not have asked for a better trip and experience.

Excellent Package for Egypt!
November 15, 2024

I am impressed by Exoticca from the start to the very end of my Egyptian tour. I would and have referred a few friends to Exoticca and I believe one has already booked a tour to Japan for 2025!
Please continue with great friendly customer service, thorough and insightful answers to inquiries and following up on your customers post vacation.
Thank you for providing a very well put together package tour of Egypt, it was well planned, thoughtful and everything ran smoothly.
Wishing you continued success!

I loved my trip to Peru! It was extremely well organized, I always knew precisely what to expect. All choices made by Exoticca (& Condor Travel) were great. The hotels were safe and well-kept, the tour guides were knowledgeable and their recommendations were always helpful. This was my first trip with Exoticca. But it will not be my last! Next trip-Ecuador. It came highly recommended from people in my group.

Whirlwind tour through Spain
November 9, 2024

Our trip to Spain was wonderful, though it would have been nice to have had some extra time in some of the bigger cities. Perhaps adding on a few more days to the tour. The guides were all very knowledgeable and friendly. The buses are very comfortable, though we would have preferred to have some of the longer trips broken up more. Our 1st hotel was exceptional, the others were good, but did not compare to the 1st. We toured many interesting sights.

Tresures of Anatalya
November 8, 2024

11 daytrip exploring the historical sights in Turkey. Found it very interesting although the schedule was a bit packed with no free time to enjoy the facilities at the hotels we stayed.The hotels were lovely although the food was bit repetetive.
Coach was very comfortable and our drive Farhi was excellent, his driving was very safe, he was
very helpful with the luggage.The optional activities were good though pricey.
The highlight of our tour was the hot air balloon ride in Cappacodia. Next was Mehemet our guide was excellent. His knowledge was awesome and he explained everything over and over. He took great care of the group and very friendly and pleasant at all times.I have to say that it is Mehmet who made the trip so enjoyable.We sure will be recommending Excotica to friends and family and looking forward to booking with Excoticca again.

Fall Trip To Portugal
November 3, 2024

Can't recommend Exoticca enough after our first trip with them to Portugal. Our close friends travelled to Italy with Exoticca last year and raved about them. We joined them this year and had a great time. The tour guide and coach drivers were second to none and made the experience that much better.

Netherlands and Belgium tour
October 31, 2024

From the moment I arrived at the hotel the tour was exceptional. The local tour guide Michelle knew everything about each one of the locations visited. She was an excellent resource in a wealth of knowledge. This was my third trip with Exoticca and I would highly recommend them. Two months ago I did the Ecuador trip with Exoticca and I was telling some of the other guest with me on the tour, they were happy to let me know the next day that they booked Ecuador for next year. I already have a tour booked in March 2025 to Barcelona and Portugal. I can't wait for my next holiday with Exoticca.!

Ischia Island- Amalfi Coast, Italy
October 25, 2024

Location was Lovely and the Hotel in Ischia Park Hotel Terme Mediteraneo was beautiful. Food was all fresh but not a huge selection- Overall Good. Excursions were not included we did those on our own, only 2 walking tours in Naples were included, both guides spoke english well and very knowledgeable.
We had an Airport pick up and drop off at the end of trip.

We just returned from our trip to S Africa and Victoria Falls. The process was seamless with excursions, transfers, flights. Charm level accommodations were for the most part okay, with only one being less acceptable. Of course, our experiences in S. Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana were different than many of our other trips - that was the intent, to experience other cultures. All staff (hotel, transportation, excursions) were wonderful and eager to help us make the most of our trip. A couple inter country flights could have had better timing/connections - and some in our group did, just not all of us. We have been on several Exoticca trips (Ecuador/Galapagos, Greece, Berlin/Prague Christmas Markets, and now S Africa) and will be planning our next soon.
