KEEP IN MIND: They are LUXURY travel planners. They don't do "cheap". They can work within your…read morebudget but will try to do so comfortably and conveniently so you receive the best impression and services at your destination. FOR CONTEXT: We started planning our trip to Australia/New Zealand from LA in 2015. We spent about $9K for two people including several flights (internationally and 4 domestically), lodging, excursions,some food, and some souvenirs. Laura was our planner and she was great! We are so grateful to have found and gone with DUE for planning. At first, we were unsure of the value we were getting through going with them. We've seen friends plan their vacations through their own research and on a budget which made us second guess what we were doing. But during and after this trip we realized and appreciated the service provided. We know that we wouldn't have chosen some of the hotels or excursions we stayed/did based on individual price if we planned ourselves-- our Queenstown helicopter ride for example which we LOVED. Having land and airfare bundled together for 2 people didn't sound as "bad" and we felt like the price was worth was we got. I'm sure we were saved significant money, getting us the best value for our dollar, through their partnerships and discounts Third, they are the experts! We wouldn't have known what to REALLY do or how to order the trip, etc. It saved the stress of booking/confirming/logistics and allowed us to just enjoy traveling from place to place, checking in/out, and ensuring we were on time for our appointments. DUE made it EASY! Plus we were not stuck with the typical sightseeing, walking aimlessly, shopping.. we had experiences-- unique ones! Lastly, communication was great. Very responsive, especially to my changes and questions. Overall, we are very happy working with DUE and highly recommend them for any travel to their destinations. They also have partners that work in Asia/Africa. Like I said-- LUXURY travel so it's perfect for honeymooners, retirees, and any family willing to splurge a bit. NO CHEAP here.

The accommodations were perfect for our family and her suggestions for food and activities made it easy for us to enjoy this journey on our own comfort level. This trip was truly a dream come true! We fell in love with Queenstown and were even able to get a private lesson at New Zealand's tallest bouldering wall. All of the expenses were clearly stated and the holidays were communicated so we knew what days businesses etc. would be closed. I highly recommend Shannon at Down Under Endeavours.

My situation (for work) was very unique and I was not able to find what I needed utilizing travel sites on the internet. I called a number over agencies in the city and the women I worked with paid very special attention to the details of this complicated trip and found me a great itinerary at a lower price than I anticipated (and under budget!). I will rethink the use of online travel sites and will contact them next time I am planning a vacation. THANK YOU Pam, Anita and Debbie!

"WOW" was the word that came out of our mouths frequently - so many things we saw were amazing. Their guides have been doing this and know people on the street or in the hotels in most places we went. They made us feel safe and develop a love for the country, culture, religion, people and food. I went with 7 friends, we had a guide, driver, and assistant the entire time. The vehicle was new, always spotless which allowed the scenery to pop as we did a lot of driving. Our driver was our hero and amazed us constantly. We always had water, or whatever we wanted to drink on the bus. The smallest detail, like where to find a toilet was never an issue, as our guide was so knowledgeable. There were things we added to our trip on the fly like a bicycle rickshaw in Old Delhi, which was a highlight. I will use Greaves travel in the future and hope you are able to do the same.

My wife, Laura Gable, a luxury travel advisor, has visited prime destinations all over the world…read more She had been to India twice before and had an opportunity to join a group with Greaves Travel, a tour operator and destination management company she had used in the past. It would be my first visit there and became one of the finest tours I've enjoyed anywhere, with a comprehensive itinerary, skilled guides, well-orchestrated arrangements, and variety of experiences during visits to five cities. Instant impression: a mystical country. Wonderful people of faith. Hindu, Muslim, Sikh. Interesting to learn more from our knowledgeable Greaves guides about the faiths, histories of the comings and goings of the princes and different invaders from Afghanistan, Iran and elsewhere. The itinerary enabled us to marvel at the many contrasts, from utter chaos in the streets with scooters, cyclos, trucks, cars forging ahead, horns honking, to the serenity of the temples, mosques and parks, and the best hotels in the world. Visited different temples. Famous tombs and mosques. Taj Mahal is magnificent. Impressive major cities. Mumbai, Udaipur, Jaipur, New Delhi. The latter is inspiring as a capital, with wide avenues, a mall near the governmental offices like Washington DC, traffic like NYC or Tokyo during rush hour. Booming tech center in a neighboring state near the airport; call center headquarters for companies from all over the world. Had meals in a family home, on an island with a prince, in a UNESCO recognized restored boutique hotel tucked on a side street away from the cacophony of Old Delhi thoroughfares and street merchants. From six to ten dishes to try at most meals, with varying degrees of spiciness. Found exceptional values in jewelry and custom-made clothes in Jaipur. And enjoyed a three-star Chinese restaurant in New Delhi. Rode a camel at one hotel. Invited to join an engagement party at another, with Laura and a few others being coaxed onto the stage with the prospective bride and groom. Indians wanted us to join their events and to pose with members of our group. This happened wherever we went. Now sorting through an incredible array of memorable photos of monuments, street scenes, rickshaw rides, dinners at lakeside in a five-star Oberoi hotel, the hand laundry phenomenon in Mumbai (Dhobi Ghat, with row upon row of concrete wash pens) and more. Two favorites: morning at the Taj Mahal during a sunrise visit to beat the crowds and watch the lighting change on the dome; and a lively street scene in New Delhi. Highly recommended using Greaves for anyone wanting to go beyond the ordinary and expand their cultural, social, artistic, gastronomic and spiritual horizons in this amazing country of 1.3 billion.

The 52,000 sq. ft Tudor style home has so many unique musical, one of a kind and ornate items that you really have to see to believe! We went on the tour yesterday and it was really enjoyable. They have so many historical Calliope's from Europe and US on the premises. Also many other items including Tiffany lamps, steam trains/engines, a perfume museum and a restored carousel in its own building that is really something to see! It's truly a fascinating tour and very tastefully done. They only collected the very best top of the line pieces for the collection. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Pictures and reviews really don't do this place justice. You need to go and see everything for yourself! It's definitely worth it and you'll leave feeling dazzled!

My daughter is still saying that her birthday was so fun and the limo was a big part of it. Price was very reasonable compared to other limo services. I couldn't be happier with ease of booking, the convenience, non -stress, and finally the results. Additionally, due to the snow and weather the previous day we asked for an earlier pickup time and it was absolutely no problem. We will definitely use them again.
