What travelers are saying

"We had the best experience ever in Morocco. I can highly recommend Sahara Magic based on my personal experience. I really loved how they arranged everything for us and being so considerate about everything. Also our driver guide Rashid was a great man and looked after all of us. He was funny too!! We had free time to explore local places on our own with great recommendations from Rashid . Our 7 days trip covers a diverse country ranging from fertile fields, snowy mountains, desert sand dunes and breathtaking landscapes as well as cities, old towns and mountain villages, each with their own unique characteristics and people. The trip offers the opportunity to not only experience Morocco's wonderful landscape, but also to meet the people and to learn about their culture and way of life. I and my friends had a great time and learnt a lot along the way thanks to our driver Rachid. Would highly recommend Sahara Magic. Thanks a lot."

What travelers are saying

"We walked the self-guided Nakasendo Trail in October coordinated through Oku Japan. Everything was perfect, maps were easy to follow, accommodation was amazing and the scenery and walk was beautiful. The customer service from Oku Japan was above and beyond. We are already thinking about our next trip and will definitely be booking through them again. Well done Oku Japan we had a great time and apologies for not doing a review sooner."

What travelers are saying

"I didn’t know what to expect on a group trip, but this ended up being one of the best vacations we’ve ever been on! Being an intense planner, I had a hard time giving the reins away, but it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Annie truly found the best of the best in Italy! We felt like we were on a luxury, private vacation that was perfectly customized for us! The tours, the food, the accommodations, while booked for the group, truly felt personalized, making the experience absolutely magical and so much fun! Not to mention, it was a huge value! Being in finance, I 'ran the number'. For accommodations, daily transportation, daily meals, and excursions, I thought the cost made sense. What I didn't factor in was the intimate experience. We ate amazing meals in local's private homes! Our tours were limited to our group and we we're shuffled into tour buses but privately chartered luxury vans to travel between destinations. It's hard to vacation without these amenities these days, I hope The Table Less Traveled continues to offer a new tour yearly, or else my vacations will be limited. :)"

What travelers are saying

"We liked the cherry and berry fruits coming through with gentle tannins. The spanish wines we had were extremely well balanced, excellent pairing with the steak we had in Aranda de Duero. The restaurants and hotel in Madrid were stunning, and Nina´s shopping recommendations in Barrio Salamanca made a difference. We will travel with Bravo Luxury Travel again"
