“We went on a self guided tour to Japan. What can I say but wow! Booked through the app but received a call to complete the process. The app had all the relevant documents and lots of handy tips. The meet & greet service was also very useful to give us some printed documents and advised us to catch a bus into Tokyo (same length of time). Everything was straightforward and as described. Hotel rooms although snug were clean & comfortable and well placed for attractions & transport. Will definitely be booking my next big trip through Exoticca. Highly recommend for a stress free trip. Thank you.”
“Exoticca was an excellent choice for our first group tour. We discussed and booked the trip - Nordic Paradise fjords and railway journey, with Arnold and he gave us all the information we required to go ahead. After booking email and App information was very useful.
The itinerary was as described and very competitively priced, we were able to choose flight times to give us extra time in Oslo .”

“Well organised trip, kept fully informed throughout. The guide was brilliant and very knowledgeable. The customer service on booking and prior to trip was not great though. If you could speak to a person, they were not able to help”
“Lynne
Our trip to Japan went without a hitch thanks to Exoticca. We chose the self guided tour so that could explore as we liked. The hotels were as expected, small but adequate, and the location of all of them was perfect. Our friends were able to upgrade at all the hotels for an extra charge. I would encourage anyone using Exoticca to fully read the information they send you as there are some good useful tips. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Really glad we chose to book through Exoticca! The itinerary was just right for us and accommodation and tours were all excellent.
Will definitely be booking through Exoticca again.”
“Excellent overall holiday to South America, 30 days total.
All flights on time, excellent pick up / drop off service, and all hotels of a good quality, having chosen to upgrade.
Let down initally prior to holiay start , due to non existent service from Exoticca cutomer service team - no replies to any of our communications.”
“I really enjoyed the trip to Peru and most things were very good. However, half of our group was Spanish speaking and half English speaking. This meant that all information/instructions had to be given in two languages. This took a long time, it lengthened each excursion and also meant it was difficult to bond with the part of the group who did not speak our language.”
“Everything was excellent. Exoticca keep you well informed before and during the trip (Japan 360)Their customer service are easily contactable, efficient and friendly. The excursions were very interesting with very nice and well informed guides, especially Hiroshima. Having time to do things at our own pace was also great. Exoticca made the trip one of our best (we are widely travelled) and we will definitely recommend them to family and friends.”
“Whilst Cameron was great, his manager was awful and Ismael who I had spoken to earlier did not listen sent a quote for the wrong holiday and lied to me. This is after my initial enquiry where despite my repeated requests I got no call back and consquently to price went up.
I am £157 out of pocket as a result of complete incompetence shown (excepting Cameron who was great)”
“We had a fanstastic trip to Peru. What we really liked were the periods of time allowed to enjoy the cities at our leisure.
There was always someone there to meet us whether its hotel to hotel, hotel to airport or airport to hotel. At no point were we concerned or unsure.
Also having multiple private transfers, which all turned up on time, made the trip feel special”
“Very well organised trip to Peru with Exoticca. This was my second time after Turkey. I had recommended exoticca to all my colleagues. One of my colleague had already booked to go to Japan with exoticca. I highly recommend them.”
“I have never been on a tour before as I have always organised my own trips. However, I decided to go with Exoticca to South America for the following reasons: I don't have any knowledge of that part of the world, I couldn't have organised it myself for less, and Exoticca came highly recommended by a number of people.
My ONLY negative is that it really annoys me to be taken to places under the guise of cultural experiences when really it is just a stop to try and get you to buy things that you are not the least bit interested in. I would have preferred my time to be used more effectively - ie spending more time at a given site for more exploration.
Most of the guides were brilliant - especially Carlos who was with us from Quito - Amazon, Banos, Quito. Fantastic guide. Felt sad saying goodbye. Also, Christian at the Galapagos was brilliant.
All in all, the trip was brilliantly well organised, flight and transfer times were all good, customer service excellent. I am already thinking about where I will go next with Exoticca.”
“Excellent trip to China! The itinerary was excellent and the guides spoke very good English. We loved the flexibility and access to native speakers. Hotels were very nice and modern.”
“Our trip to Albania was fabulous. Varied and interesting itinerary. Very good standard of well situated accommodation. Possibly a slightly large group size (26) for some”
