Kaymakli Underground City

More information about Turkey

A continent-spanning country, divided between Europe and Asia , Turkey is known for its diverse and vibrant culture, ancient civilisations and dizzying whirling dervishes. The former capital and largest city of Istanbul sits on the winding Bosphorus Strait and is home to dozen of cultural and architectural treasures, from the Hagia Sophia to the Blue Mosque and bustling Grand Bazaar .

On the other hand, the modern capital of Ankara is home to the iconic collonaded mausoleum of Ataturk , who founded the Turkish Republic. Delicious cuisine, epic history and vast mountainous landscapes make a Turkey holiday package the ultimate adventure experience, whilst the gorgeous Mediterranean coastlines along the south of the country offer serene beach resorts and plenty of fun in the sun. Bordered by Greece, Georgia, Bulgaria, Armenia, Iran, Iraq and Syria , a package holiday to Turkey opens up a world of culture, thanks to its unique position, once an important stop on the historic Silk Road . A Turkey tour package is the best way to get to grips with the complexity of the country, it’s wide array of natural wonders and its diverse cities and communities.

History of Turkey

Great civilisations, such as the Assyrians, Greeks, Armenians and Urartians , among others, have left their mark on the region across the centuries, with ancient sites, such as Gobekli Tepe, which predates Stonehenge, offering insight into years gone by to visitors on a trip to Turkey.  

The country’s foundations can be traced back to the victory of the Seljuk Turks over the mighty Byzantines in the 11th-century , who continued their dominance until the 13th-century Mongol Invasion when the Sultanate was disintegrated into small principalities. The Ottoman dynasty began to unite these principalities in the later 13th-century and captured and conquered the iconic Byzantine capital of Constantinople in 1453. Under Suleiman the Magnificent the vast Ottoman Empire encompassed a huge part of the world, stretching from Europe to Africa and Asia.  

20th-century Turkish history has been characterised by the Turkish war of independence, led by the national hero, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk , which resulted in the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic in 1923. Visitors on Turkey tours can visit his monumental tomb in the capital of Ankara. Ataturk became the first president of the republic and brought about major changes to Turkish society, encouraging the westernisation of the national culture.

Nature in Turkey

Turkey is home to a vast and diverse landscape, split into seven geographical areas, each with its own unique characteristics. Home to biodiverse wildlife, with as many as 80,000 species, Turkey’s 40 national parks and countless nature reserves provide refuge for an array of spectacular natural treasures and rare wildlife, such as the elusive Anatolian leopard.  

Out of the dozens of bucket-list-worthy natural attractions to discover on Turkey holiday packages, the amazing landscape of Cappadocia stands out. A true natural wonder, Cappadocia is a historic region of Anatolia , home to otherworldly rock formations that have been transformed into a living city. 

Here, ‘fairy chimneys’ or ‘hoodoos’ dot the landscape, and some are even used as homes, churches and hotels. Watching the sunrise or taking a dawn balloon ride over the fairytale landscape of Cappadocia is an unforgettable experience. The glorious hot springs of Pamukkale offer travellers another inspiring natural refuge of glistening white and blue terraced pools. Nicknamed the ‘ Cotton Castle’ , it’s the perfect place for a relaxing soak. Turkey’s largest lake, Lake Van is located in the southeast of the country, in the shadow of volcanic Mount Numrut and home to four idyllic islands. A final unmissable natural wonder is legendary Mount Ararat , thought to be the mountain where Noah’s Ark landed after the great flood and the tallest point in the country. It’s eternally snow-capped peak is sure to stir your soul and ignite your imagination.

Culture in Turkey

An eclectic blend of cultures, including Turkic, Anatolian and Ottoman traditions, as well as western influences, make up the rich tapestry of Turkey’s culture . Extremes of both eastern and western traditions are represented within the country. Turkey is a secular state and enjoys complete freedom of religion, although the majority of the population follow Islam , seen in the amazing mosques and elaborate religious traditions you’ll encounter on a tour of Turkey. 

One of the country’s most famous cultural ceremonies is the dance of the whirling dervishes , a distinct and captivating Islamic tradition. Turkish cuisine is reason enough to choose a holiday to Turkey , and traditional Turkish music is a soul-stirring soundtrack to everyday life in the cities, with impromptu performances heard throughout the streets and markets. Like many nations, culture differs between rural and urban spheres. Traditional life continues in the farms and villages of the countryside, whilst the countries urban centres are a melting-pot of cosmopolitan cultures and influences, perfectly balancing the new and the old.

Choose a tour of Turkey to encounter a fusion of east and west and a history that stretches back centuries and is etched on the mythical landscapes. Admire the warmth of the locals and the idyllic coastal resorts, but don’t forget to take the time to absorb the aromas of the bustling food markets and the incomparable atmosphere of a nation that straddles two continents and fuses the best of both world.

Our first trip to Portugal

Our first trip to Portugal, with Exoticca, far exceeded our expectations! We liked the location of our hotels, which were clean, comfortable and quiet. The Itinerary and excursions were amazing! We saw more than we ever could on our own. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful. We met wonderful people on our tour that made our trip even more special. We look forward to booking another trip soon.

South Africa - Victoria Falls

The South Africa portion of this tour was good. The local company was very organized. They sent travel info including contact numbers to us in advance. The Victoria Falls 0 Zimbabwe portion was not that organize. We did not receive the info until arriving at Victoria Falls, and the tour guide did not provide practical advice to us.

Would recommend, if you don't mind being on your own

We booked an Italy trip with Exottica Travel. My main gripe would be that after you book, any questions, issues, or problems go through a call center. If they can't answer the simply questions, then it gets emailed to a "specialist" to handle. But usually it took a week for an email back from a specialist. Sometimes these things were time sensitive, but that didn't matter. But all in all, the trip was wonderful, good price, & the tour company assigned to us took good care of us. I would recommend this company to folks that like to do their own research on their trip and are comfortable with being basically independent in another country.

Our 9-day Switzerland guided tour was awesome! Everything was crazy organized, full of adventures. We hit up Zürich, Werdenberg, Vaduz, Lugano, Ticino, Bellinzona, Zermatt, Montreux, Lausanne, Bern, Interlaken, and Lucerne. The views, mountains , churches, castles, and food were all mind-blowing. Definitely gotta try a guided tour like this, especially in Switzerland!

Hello KZ, We are so glad you had a positive experience with Exoticca. Your support is invaluable to us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Kind regards Exoticca

Fantastic itinerary with a well…

Fantastic itinerary with a well balanced variety of destinations from world famous cities to wonders of the natural world. Really well organised. We were met in every destination and transported to the hotels. Hotels were in really good locations and more than did the job. The guided trips and excusions were of high quality and the Exoticca app took so much of the strain. This was our second trip with Exoticca. We will book again.

Hello. This review made our day! Kind regards, Exoticca

1st experience which won't be my last! Superb tour in so many ways!

The length of the tour was ideal and I got a taste of Portugal over 8 days at a decent pace. One cannot avoid early mornings but there was a nice combination of time between walking and sitting on a bus or boat. Not too strenuous and the places we visited were so diverse from coast to interior and riverside. The entire experience was enhanced by a super-knowledgeable guide who was one of the best I've had in all my years of travel. This was my 1st experience with Exoticca and it definitely will not be my last. I loved it so much, i'd love to go back and do it all again! A+ experience!

Date of experience : 30 April 2024

Excellent Experience

My overall experience to South Africa was excellent. It was exactly as described on the website and paperwork. The guide, tours and hotels were excellent. I choose the superior hotel package. I stayed at a Radisson Hotel. It was clean and superior staff. Restaurant, rest room and hotel rooms were all clean.

Excellent 8 day trip to Iceland. The hotels were as described and very clean. Breakfasts at all hotels were fantastic with a lot choice. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun. Would highly recommend this tour and Exoticca.

Date of experience : 21 April 2024

Travelling made easy

Exoticca make things so easy to travel and see so much, they take care of everything, you just need to turn up at the airport and everything is taken care for you once you arrive at your destination. You can choose to do as much or as little as you wish.

Date of experience : 20 April 2024

I was kept up to date with all…

I was kept up to date with all information relevant to my holiday. Hotel on arrival very good. Hotel in San Cristabel a bit dark and gloomy, better in Santa Cruz. Excursions good. Nobody to meet us at Santa Cruz and only had a phone call from rep when we arrived and when we were leaving. Got the impression that she couldn't really be bothered. Drive to the Amazon very long on bad roads and quite frankly wasn't worth it for just a couple of nights, lodge and staff very good. On the whole the holiday was very enjoyable and excellent value for money.

BE INFORMED

Hotels were good. Buses comfortable. 48 members of group, too large. No info regarding first meeting. Some people had the wrong hour of departure. Always given wrong PNR code, do have to check it. Be aware that Turkey is large and the last 4 days of tour include 12 hour days, mostly on the bus, this can be wearisome. One evening we arrived at a thermal hotel. Would be nice to arrive earlier, plus some notice that a bathing suit might be used. This tour sees many sights, but unfortunately, we were mostly with other tourists the whole time.

Hello Olga, We are so glad you had an overall positive experience with Exoticca. Your support is invaluable to us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Kind regards Exoticca

Awesome Trip to Italy

This 11 day trip was well organized. All exoticca employees were knowledgeble, friendly and always helpful in getting issues resolved. We saw 9 cities in 11 days so there were a lot of moving parts. This was an awesome first trip for my wife and me.

Hi, Keith. Your 5-star review motivates us to keep pushing forward and sets the tone for excellence in all that we do. Kind regards, Exoticca

Trip to Jordan

We were used Exoticca recently with our trip to Jordan. Overall our trip was well organised and the accommodations were fine. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we had many new information about history of Jordan and even the life style overthere.

Hello. Many thanks for the 5-star rating. If there’s anything we can do to improve our offering, please let us know! Kind regards, Exoticca

Stellar Portugal Trip

Absolutely loved our Portugal trip with Exottica. Perfect organization/coordination of all travel, transfers, and tours. Guides were fantastic—knowledgeable, fun and kind. This was our second trip with Exottica. We highly recommend them.

Date of experience : 14 April 2024

Exoticca’s people are great and their travel app is a must have!

Exoticca is for budget travellers. Having said that, hotel rooms are sometimes less than desired. For the most part, depending on country & city, accomodations are acceptable to me as a budget traveller. There was at least one hotel that I thought wasn’t up to par even for someone on budget. I let Exoticca know about that. What’s great about Exoticca is their people and information systems, specifically the Exoticca mobile app. The app provides you with updated details of your travel (flights, hotels, daily itinerary, etc) all in one place. And to top it off, Exoticca’s people are customer service-oriented. Kudos!

Date of experience : 26 April 2024

Hello Ernest, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are thrilled to hear that you loved your experience with us. Your kind words mean a lot to our team! Kind regards Exoticca

Very reliable company, but be aware of terms!

I had already travelled with Exoticca before and chose this company again for my trip to Japan. Everything ran according to schedule, save for an unexpexted stopover in Taipei, when flying back from Osaka to Hong Kong. But the company is very reliable, keeps a great communication channel with prospective travellers and provides all the info needed. Bear in mind, though, that it is a SEMI-INDEPENDENT type of trip, which means you’ll be given all instructions and vouchers once at Tokio Airport, then you will be expected to do EVERYTHING on your own!!!

Date of experience : 19 April 2024

Hi, Rita. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback! Kind regards, Exoticca

Exoticca France Trip

Very organized and well planned trip. Audrey was an excellent tour leader and Harris a very professional bus driver. They made up a good team. Only improvement can be made is the selection of hotel in Paris. Hotel Ibis at Brancion has very small rooms. The bathroom was also very small.

Date of experience : 18 April 2024

Hi,Edwin. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star rating – it’s much appreciated! Kind regards, Exoticca

Morocco with girlfriends(over 60 years and holding)

Morocco! An amazing tour in an amazing country! loved it! Loved it! Our guide Filali Abdelali was excellent. He is a true professional who has such a passion for his country. Abdul was so helpful, friendly and accommodating, shared many traditional foods with us and definitely showed us the true Morocco. It was fun, educational and so enjoyable. Our driver Jallal was also wonderful. Jallal was friendly, helpful and a great driver. Lots of work at every hotel! This was my first tour with Exoticca and I will certainly use them again. The app was very useful! Thank you for the great memories!

Everything was excellent except the midday internal flights took away my precious full days. The inclusive trips were very short and rushed. They hurriedly bring you back in the hotel where there was nothing to do and outside was wilderness.

Hello Almas, Thank you for posting a review and we’re sorry to hear that your experience was not up to standards. We would like the opportunity to talk and investigate your feedback further. An agent will reach out to you to discuss this in more detail. Kind regards Exoticca

Exoticca Travel Review: A Reliable & Legit Tour Operator?

Predesigned itineraries and travel packages are life savers for some travelers. Exoticca is one of the number-one travel package choices, but are its services a good investment of your time and money?

If your next trip is coming up, you're probably busy making all the plans. Hours and hours later, you've done all the research possible and made several phone calls to create a successful trip.

You and I both know it—behind every successful trip, a traveler works overtime to organize everything effectively.

But worry not! If you want to skip it all, you can ditch the entire planning stage by going with Exoticca Travel. Once you've decided on the customized package you want, all you need to do is pay and enjoy your trip stress-free.

Oh, and it's still essential to remember budget travel tips if you're trying to ensure your trip stays affordable and within your budget!

But does this sound too good to be true? And what about using competitor travel booking agencies, like Luxury Escapes or G-Adventures ?

In my Exoticca Travel review, you'll find everything you need to decide whether this trip-planning company is the way to book your next getaway. I'll go over things like features, areas of improvement, and even other customer reviews.

Find out what you need to know so that you won't regret spending your hard-earned money!

What Is Exoticca Travel?

Exoticca is an online travel agency that delivers customizable and premade travel bundles. The packages can be for multiple countries, and it has travel packages for each continent.

Exoticca Travel has been operating since 2013 after Pere Vallespí founded it. The company initially started in Spain. But now Exoticca is branching out to Western countries as well.

As of my article's publishing date, the company also operates in Canada and the United States.

Exoticca is all about taking the planning stress off your shoulders! Whether you’re into exploring new places, chilling in luxury, or even dreaming about the perfect honeymoon, it's got something for everyone.

Exoticca travel experts handle the nitty-gritty—transportation, accommodation, and activities—so all you need to do is kick back and enjoy your vacation!

How Does Exoticca Work?

Exoticca operates as a comprehensive travel platform. As I mentioned, it aims to streamline your vacation planning process and provide a variety of travel experiences.

But how does it do it, and are the deals legit?

Exoticca's low prices and diverse offerings are made possible based on a few factors.

First off, Exoticca travel agency has partnerships with local providers and sub-contractors to actually carry out the tours. That means that the company is able to offer localized vacation packages in diverse locations, whether it's a trek through the Amazon or an island-hopping itinerary through Greece.

Another thing to remember is that Exoticca has been in business for a while. That means that it has done strategic negotiations with suppliers and partners to keep giving customers great prices.

Another factor to its pricing is that Exoticca Travel bundles its services and, therefore, leverages economies of scale. In simpler terms, because it does repeat business and can book larger groups, it can sometimes get better prices than you doing it on your own!

How to Use Exoticca Travel?

Using Exoticca's website is quite simple due to its user-friendly interface. The team always aims to make everything seamless for travelers.

Similarly, with a few easy steps, you can easily book your next vacation with Exoticca Travel:

• When you enter their website, you'll get bombarded with colorful visuals. Scroll through all the travel packages. You can also search by continent or travel style. These options are on the menu bar.
• After choosing the package that intrigues you, it is time to review the plan. The package mentions all the trip highlights and what things are included in the program.
• If you want to add or remove something from the itinerary, you can do that. Then, contact an Exoticca travel advisor.
• If the itinerary seems satisfying, it's time to make your reservation!
• Exoticca Travel will ask for your details. And you'll need to sign the terms and conditions.
• Lastly, pay the deposit amount.

Exoticca Travel's customer service will assist you through every step to improve your experience.

Examples of Exoticca Itineraries

So I've been telling you all about the vacations that Exoticca offers. But that's not the same as actually hearing about examples.

I find that sometimes people like specific examples instead of more broad statements. That's why I wanted to lay out some of the trips that seemed interesting to me while I was researching Exoticca:

• Southeast Asian Odyssey: This is a 19-day/17-night itinerary that takes travelers through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand for 50% off, meaning customers only pay ~US$3,599 per person currently.
• Wildlife Parks & Serengeti Safari: Explore Tanzania for 9 days and 7 nights, seeing beautiful landscapes and exciting wildlife for ~$6,499 per person.
• Land of the Berbers, Madrid & Barcelona: Join a group to see Spain and Morocco over 16 days and 14 nights—you'll only pay $3,499 per person, which is 35% off Exoticca's regular pricing for this trip.

I've included some pricing here, but please be mindful that this changes quickly. I wanted to make you aware of the prices I saw so that you can better gauge the deals that Exoticca offers—even if you don't see the same promotions!

Exoticca Travel is winning many travelers' hearts through its unique services. If you are wondering why people are raving about this platform, this is because of the features. Let's look at some of the most loved features of Exoticca tours.

If you cancel the trip before the final payment, you can get a refund on your deposit. That means you must cancel for a refund at least 60 days prior.

It can become tricky to get a refund if you cancel after making the final payment. In most cases, you might have to pay a penalty or a cancellation fee.

One extra thing to consider is that Exoticca offers one of the best travel insurance options. It gives coverage for accidents or other unpredictable situations.

How Can Exoticca Travel Benefit You?

Exoticca Travel can make your travel experience less stressful. This platform is handy for travelers who find planning difficult. Casual travelers or vacationers can also use this platform.

What Others Are Saying About Exoticca Tours

I also wanted to know this before I considered booking! That's why I did a deep dive on the current Exoticca Travel reviews available on the Internet.

Many travelers praise the diverse travel options, catering to various styles, from adventurous tours to luxury escapes.

That said, there are also negative reviews of Exoticca Travel online.

Is Exoticca Travel Worth It?

I think it's worth it for certain people to try Exoticca Travel!

If you find planning stressful or don't have enough time and still want your trip to be planned out perfectly, then checking out Exoticca may be a good idea. The same goes for if you like to be guided by professionals.

But if you enjoy making your own itinerary or want to save more money by using budget traveling hacks during the booking process, you may want to go at it alone. Or you could look at alternatives.

And if you sit somewhere in the middle, I say give Exoticca a chance. The Exoticca Travel company has many reviews saying it curates excellent, authentic, personalized experiences.

So, if you're on the fence, you can discuss options with the team and then decide whether a specific itinerary is for you or not!

Our Rating: 3.9/5

• Predesigned travel packages for all around the world

Avoid Exoticca Egypt from Bristol

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid!!! 'Exoticca is not proper travel agent'. ALL external Flights were changed, multiple times and with huge delays, waiting in between, and cancellations. Exoticca were of no assistance, they just refer you to talk to the airline personally. I do not need a travel agent for this I could have just booked better flights myself. Changes made less than 12 hrs before departure from the UK. The flights advertised on their site do not represent the reality. 16 hrs to get from Bristol to Cairo (normally a four-hr flight) with two stops (one advertised), Cairo to Bristol 20hrs (two stops) and lost luggage as a result. I would not recommend as you are stressed when you arrive and stressed when you get home. Combined with very early starts from 3am to 5am every day. The three days onboard 'cruise' is one day cruising, two days accommodation on the boat which is docked and joined to two to four other boats, which you walk through to get on land!!! Food onboard is positively average. Only one of the advertised hotels were superior, the others were remote (taxi to any shops or restaurants) and distinctly average. Too much talking and restrictions from the guide, who was extremely knowledgeable, but did not take into consideration the guests need. No attempt to get to know our names, even though we were with him for 7 days. We were treated like high school students. Very slow and longwinded allocating rooms at destinations too. Meet and greet and collection from Cairo airport was exceptional from Planet tours.

Other issues with Exotica

Two times for our excursions we asked for a wake up call but did not get one. Luckily friends we met came and got us up or we would have missed our excursions. The 4 of us were considering another trip with Exotica but are reconsidering this idea.

Date of experience : February 02, 2024

Cheap for a reason

Terrible company - I know that this is a misspelt version of their company name which is in fact Exoticca but it felt I'd put a review here as well as on their proper site just to ensure that the message gets through. They are cheap because they arre prepared to lie to you and to risk your health and safety. Just returned from a three week trip to Madagascar with them and never want to hear their name again. They lied about journey times; provided no relief driver for trips of up to 13 hours on a non-air conditioned coach; offered no meal stops, and misdescribed excursions putting people's health and safety at risk and leading to one lady breaking her ankle. They have no interest in helping or responding to complaints. We have submitted a complaint to ABTA about them as they were unwilling to engage with us in a meaningful manner. Please save your money and find a reputable tour company. I have posted a fuller review under Exoticca on this site

Hotel Changes and No Communication

Used this company for a holiday to Jordan. Ground operator was Beyond Jordan. Booked 4 hotels within the package. Two were changed on the day of travel with sub-standard hotels. Wrote to Exotica about this and they failed to reply to any emails. Appalling and will not use Exotica again. Beware, you do not get the accommodation you pay for.

Date of experience : October 08, 2023

Good Tour guide

Booking the trip was easy. But contacting them via email/text/ WhatsApp is not there. No one responds to your email Our flight got canceled and no one from Exotica contacted us and we found out when we tried to check in. Getting them rebook was not easy. If your flight gets cancelled last minute you are at their mercy because they are your travel agent. I fought with Airlines to get a flight otherwise my trip would have been a washout. Planet tours was the local operator for Exotica. The trip itinerary was entirely up to guides discretion. Mina(male) our guide was terrible. It was just a job for him and didn’t care for anyone and he is very unprofessional. Didn’t give us proper time at any of the sites. Either it's 30 or 60 minutes. he didn’t have problem waiting as long as you wanted when they take us to these shopping trips. Egypt: Giza Pyramid 30min Make sure you ask for a good tour guide Your total experience of the trip depends on them. Ask for emergency contact numbers.

They lie about standards and refuse to communicate.

Booked a Costa Rica trip for our Honeymoon this August. They use photos of amazing luxury hotels to lure you in, however once you've paid, for some parts of the trip, they have booked into lower quality hotels that they don't even show on their website. When contacted about why this was and could they please change the reservation to the advertised hotel, (as there are rooms available at advertised hotel) they refuse to explain why or engage in any conversation. A black cloud hanging over our special once in a life time trip.

We are meant to be going to Peru on Wednesday. Despite repeated attempts to call and email, we have not had any confirmation of whether trip is cancelled or going ahead as planned. Although it is obvious that the itinerary is not possible in the current climate, and the only option is to cancel/reschedule. A dedicated team are meant to be calling peru travellers...assuming they call tomorrow....that will be leaving us with less than 48 hours notice. Extremely stressful situation.

Just came back from Greece and very disapointed; we took an upgrade for 4* hotels and got decent ones in Athens but when we got to the islands (Mykonos and Santorini) it was terrible. Chain in Anamar. Mold and wet floors in the bathrooms, very poor quality sheets and towels; I had a reash all over the body. Location was far from any town and we had to hire cabs or take buses that come every 30 mins. No beverages in the room, terrible breakfast and no breakfast box when pick-up was 3am. Staff were embarassed and tried to accommodate. Guides were young and inexperienced; poor knowledge of history, Never again with Exotica.

EXOTICCA NOT Exotica see reviews with correct company name

All of these reviews are using the wrong spelling🤔 You need to re write to be seen by Exoticca or their clients. Our trip was organised well to Jordan. Only issue local company Jordan & Beyond refused to open toilet door on coach travel. Caused unnecessary upset for fellow travellers with medical issues or pregnant :( I have written a full review under correct company name

The worst trip of my life

The worst trip of my life . We went to Greece 3 island hop and Athens tour . The most un organized “traveling” with problems on every corner. All hotels are not as described on exotica . We booked 5 star hotels and received 2 star hotels . Blood stains in sheets , oily breakfast. There’s a book I could write about everything but it’ll upset me too much. I hate this company my vacation was the biggest waste of money I’ve ever spent . Save yourself DO NOT book WITH EXOTICCA . Do not trust good reviews . Your better off planning your own trip. The Greeks are super rude the rudest people I’ve ever met in my life , not willing to solve any problems .

South Africa

Holiday in S.Africa more than met our expectations. All travel went smoothly and on time. Hotels all good especially La Lechere where meals were 'Cordon Bleu' and accomodation spacious. Would not hesitate to book with Exotica again so thank you for a great holiday, June & Anne.

Update on my original review as there…

Update on my original review as there were some really positive things about the trip to Romania. If you want to see Romania before it becomes like all the other Eastern EU countries then do this while you have the chance. Stunning scenery, villages that have changed little since the 1800's, authentic food and customs made it one to remember. Exotica rep was very knowledgable and we even got to sit in the same seats that members of parliament sit in. Be prepared to travel long distances but each region has its unique character. We have booked again with them for their Russia trip to Moscow and St.Petersburg...

Ligia is a rock star

Ligia is a rock star. My initial review was three stars because I couldn't reach a person with questions that I had and I didn't want to loose my booking. Ligia called me and got my reservation back on track. She walked through everything and was on point. Super helpful and a pleasure to work with. Excellent customer service. Because I don't often leave reviews I didn't see where to update my rating, but if I run across it I will.

trip to Greece-ATHENS,MYKONOS,SANTORINI

This trip is the worst i've ever taken;despite it being the most expensive. The hotel in Athens was in a ghetto surrounded by homeless people,broken sidewalks,empty buildings and graffiti. The trip itinerary changed as soon as we arrived and we changed hotels throughout our stay without luggage transfer service. We had to take our luggage up and down a steep steel ramp x2 for the ferries -being herded like cattle. The main chauvinistic male person in charge was rude and offended myself and roomates. He should be re-educated on how to speak to and treat your clients respectively! Most times,a representative would show up,tell you where to stand and then leave. Definetely not a guided tour with a lead tour companion. One of the island hotels was beautiful;but you needed to be a mountain goat to climb up and down to the room. Overall the trip ended on a good note in Santorini. The hotel was very rural but the owner made up for this by being welcoming, accommadating and even cooking us a dinner with wine on the house! The bus tour in Santorini was 12 hours long,but we saw the whole island,the guide was excellent and it was worth it! We had to have the hotel desk clerk coordinate with the travel company and travel coordinator for pick up,as we were told we weren't scheduled for pick up and return for this tour,adding to our frustration the evening prior. We also enjoyed the ancient ruins in Thera, Santorini and the local guide was very good. Sadly,this will be our last trip with Exoticca...

Just returned home from our first 14…

Just returned home from our first 14 day Exoticca trip to Portugual. The trip was wonderful. Our guide Andre Seco was very knowledgeable and personable. We really enjoyed our time with him. A large group went out with him and his sweet girlfriend the last evening to celebrate and say goodbye. He always went above and beyond giving us treats and spending extra time answering our questions. I would definitely recommend his tour and him! Only suggestion is to have 2 , not 3 hotel pick ups before the tour starts each day. That took up too much time. There were a few people on the trip that were complaining divas. They should book their own tours by themselves. The group had a wonderful time and established many new friendships. Andre was Superb! Sue Camp US-EX2023142470

Prompt response and delivery

This 3rd order with Exotica. So pleased with their service. One of the order had item missing that they refunded promptly.

Exotica is the Worst CompanyThe first and the last time I will book…

The first and the last time I will book anything through this company. I am in Jordan now and having purchased at an additional cost a luxury package, I am simply lost for words. They have put us in Crown plaza and upon our arrival very early hours of the morning we were checked into a room which basically had not been cleaned, dusty, no slippers or robe for the second person, no toiletry tray. Old and tired hotel. The breakfast was worse than you would get in any 3 star hotel but to top it all for our half board dinner we were directed to what looked like a canteen with round tables seating 10 people and expected to walk to another room where they had put together what looked like a cheap buffet you would expect in a pub. We were given water and could not order any other drink let alone wine. When eventually we found a bar we were told they only have one brand of wine which was terrible. I then ordered a cocktail which when it arrived looked nothing like an espresso martini and when I complained I was told that is how they make it. Basically I have paid £700 extra for a luxury package and have received the equivalent of 3 star. Please be aware before booking with them. The local company administering the holiday on ground are doing their best but the extra money for the luxury package does not go to them it goes to exotica. Having travelled all over the world over the last 40 years I can honestly say this is the worst package I have experienced. I only hope the rest of the holiday will not prove to be the same.
