Bad experience
March 20, 2025

The meeting was a complete waste of time, disorganized and irrelevant. And to top it off, the offer was insulting, far below industry standards. A truly disappointing experience.

Our Dubai trip was nothing short of amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to Nader! He did an excellent job planning everything and went out of his way to secure the hotel we wanted, even though it was fully booked. His effort and dedication didn't go unnoticed.

Beyond the planning, we truly enjoyed every moment of our trip—from the stunning sights to the incredible experiences Dubai has to offer. Everything was seamless, making it a trip to remember. We'll definitely be recommending many people back in our country.

I was Lucky to have Isabelle Manga as my customer assitante during my stay as she made everything in her power to assist me and make my stay perfect. The planning was given before my stay but I could change things around and Isabelle always replied in a timely manner to assist me. My stay was better because of her. Many thanks

Previous review

à la vente du pack on m'a promis que la date d'expiration du pack pourrait être étendue car j'avais expliqué que les seules vacances où je pourrais revenir seront en Février, et il semble que cela soit compliqué et Amnay Belkadi (qui m'a vendu le pack e,n me disant que je ne devais pas m'inquiéter et qu'il pourra étendre jusqu'à Avril 2025 si besoin) semble avoir quitté le groupe. Cela ne me rassure pas du tout sur le sérieux du groupe. Et j'espère que mo séjour sera accepté malgré tout et que tout ira bien.
