I've been using Boutique Travel for over 10 years, and I can't imagine planning a trip without…read morethem. What keeps me coming back is their ability to create truly bespoke experiences. Ellen has an incredible ability to tailor experiences, which makes each trip feel uniquely mine. She always finds the perfect balance by incorporating culinary, cultural, and art experiences that I love, along with athletic and outdoor activities that keep things active and engaging. It never feels one dimensional. I've used BT's services to book trips to Africa numerous times. Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Uganda are just a few examples.. Each destination has offered something completely unique, and Ellen has hit the itineraries right out of the park. Gorilla trekking in Uganda was a once in a lifetime experience, and visiting the Skeleton Coast in Namibia felt like stepping into another world. In Botswana, I was lucky enough to see leopards up close, which is so rare and exciting! I have also vacationed in Tahiti three times, and each time has been magical and different! Most recently, my husband and I just got back from an incredible trip to Rangiroa, and we are already talking about exploring more islands on our next visit. Looking ahead, I am starting to plan a trip to Japan, and I will definitely be working with Boutique Travel again to put together the itinerary. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to truly understand what we are looking for makes every trip seamless and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Thailand has been on our "bucket list" and being invited to a Thai wedding provided the incentive to make Thailand our next international destination. From the moment we contacted Irene, we knew were would be in good hands (was there any doubt?)! After providing responses to Irene's questionnaire regarding our interests and desires about Thailand (along with several emails, text messages, and phone conversations), she provided an excellent itinerary that included flights, private tours, private drivers to and from airports, superb accommodations, and expert guides. During our 5 nights in Bangkok, Irene curated a centrally located hotel in Bangkok, an informal food tour in Chinatown, and an exceptionally knowledgeable local guide to introduce us to the some of the most historically important temples in Bangkok and Ayutthaya. During our first 4 nights in Chiang Mai, Irene curated a modern-styled hotel minutes away from the legendary Night Market (a must experience). We had the pleasure of touring Chiang Mai and the hills of Doi Inthanon National Park with an experienced and friendly local guide. There is no substitute to having a local guide to provide insights and knowledge about Thai culture, food, and history. Additionally, Irene had arranged a private cooking class where we prepared 7 Northern Thailand dishes, all delicious!! Our last 3 nights were spent at the Onsen at Moncham, a Japanese-themed retreat in the mountains before returning home. Although Irene provided many options for our destinations/events and hotels, our itinerary was completely customizable and ultimately, our choice. Whether you want to experience Thailand on the beaten or unbeaten path, but with comfort, reliability, and service, let Irene at Travel Darlings handle your needs!

They have set us up two trips and they were both great! Well planned worth every penny. If you've…read morenever used a person to plan a vacation, it is worth it as I get so much more out of my trips now! The trips we went on were multiple stops in Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin). We got in so much and stayed in amazing places. When my partner originally suggested that we go on a trip to Europe, I was concerned that I would have to do tons, and tons are planning to get a lot out of it. We had so many amazing adventures! And I barely had to do anything. Highly suggest if you ever wanted to do a multi jump trip, do it! Our second trip was to Iceland with my parents as well so it was great having to only worry about my parents inability to pack well and my mom and her new hip (yeah, it was interesting timing. She recovered well but it was still new hip) and not about the travel or such. We had a private guide as well. (sidenote, since I never tried going to Iceland without a guide not personal experience but, one of my moms doctors mentioned that they went to Iceland, but it was kind of scary because they were on this one lane Road and they said really scary.... When they suggest a guide, take a guide. It just takes a lot of the worry out.) When things went sideways they were very responsive and helped get things fixed quick. Would use again. For the hotels and such we did confirm the prices and they were in line so no weird pricing issues for us. We heard of scams so just saying we did compare so we wanted to share our vetting.

He was very patient with our group of 11 trying to decide what cruise line we should pick. Michael answered all of our questions in a quick and timely manner, ensuring that we were always informed and confident in our decisions. What truly stood out was his commitment to customer satisfaction--he even took the time to call us over the weekend, outside of regular working hours, to let us know that an upgrade we were interested in had become available and to ask if we would like to proceed. This level of attentiveness and care is rare and highly commendable. He is the best travel agent we have ever had and we want to thank him for his outstanding service.

He's never too busy or not available to make you, his priority. We will be working with Michael for years to come. I've said it before, but I can't say it enough, thanks for being THE BEST!

Katy was super helpful and responsive in booking our 3 tickets from SFO - TPE - MNL - CEB and back! Our fares were a little more complex as I wanted the cheapest fares that still qualified us to earn miles! I originally went to book the flights through the airline directly; however, they told me that going through a travel agent might be cheaper! They were right and Katy saved me $34 on each ticket! From now on, I'm going to go through Katy and will refer all my friends and family to do so as well! THANKS KATY!!!

A fabulous blend of great insight, knowledge and really excellent customer service. You are in the best of hands even if you know exactly what you need or if don't have a clue. They know all the tips and tricks of the trade. Like when you travel (internationally) to not wear blue jeans. Airlines usually overbook economy and they pick people to upgrade and it won't be you if you are in jeans. This has actually happened to me more than a few times and I credit Scandia Travel for that insight. If you encounter issues while traveling you just email them and most likely they will fix your problem - if you rather deal with a faceless website with no customer service or spend an hour on the phone be my guest. I will never ever book a trip unless I do it through them. They are truly the best!
