“Great value.
Romania history very interesting, scenery varied with plains and snow capped mountains, UNESCO world heritage buildings with beautiful artwork in them
Knowlgeable, caring Romanian guide made everything easy.
Romania, as a country, much better than I thought: the Communist era / buildings a blip not today's/ overall historical reality.
Really recommend this trip.”
“Although the trip was good, the support if you need it is very sketchy. When I booked the tour, to my surprise the flights were booked without any checked baggage, but it said I could add baggage later. When I asked to see about adding bags I didn't get a response until a few days before the flight, by which time I managed to add them myself. A wrong time for an add-on excursion meant I was waiting more than an hour for a guide to arrive. The 24/7 support via Whatsapp (the only way you can communicate with them when on holiday) was non-existent until I had actually resolved the issue myself.
That said, I was picked up promptly from the airport and returned by individual chauffered transport and the tour takes you to a lot of places around Korea. The Hotels are of good quality and the transport was good and seems good value for money. The guide seemed new to the task as he was continually researching the destinations on his phone and didn't know in-depth about things. But he was really helpful in advising on restaurants and happy to help in his free time. Just hope that you don't have any issues”
“Everything from start to finish was organized to perfection. All guides met us and dropped off at correct locations, exactly on time.
Airport pick ups and drop off for arrival departures and transfers were perfect.
Itinerary was full, excursions good, we saw everything that was planned.
Minor issues - Hotels were in the main good, we had 4 hotels, in two there was no bar, in one no restaurant and the last one provided two single beds pushed together to make a "double" with a uncomfortable ridge down the middle. (Just one of those things that irritate me)
One of the guides English was not perfect, but a lot better than my Chinese so a minor problem
Communication with Exotica was Good, managed to contact and resolve any issues / questions I had before the holiday(none during the trip).
Overall everything was good and I would highly recommend Exotica”
“Just returned from a fabulous trip exploring Albania. Edmund the guide was great and very accommodating. All hotels were lovely and we enjoyed the whole tour. 6th trip with Exoticca and already looking to booking another next year.”
“My second trip with exoticca, 1st to China and then Malaysia. Loved both, great for solo travelling as don't double the price for going alone. Guides on both trips been welcoming and helpful.”

“Wonderful tour of Turkey. Fascinating history and scenery. Our guide Shasha was the best! Looked after us all, organised perfectly and gave us so much information. Barbados in Istanbul was so helpful when my husband left his phone on the transfer bus - we are so grateful. Overall we had an amazing experience and appreciate all the effort of the Turkey team.”
“We have just returned from a very memorable trip to the Golden Triangle, India, with Exoticca and cannot praise their service highly enough. Everything was extremely well organised and our Guide was both knowledgeable, curteous and caring. Our driver was incredible as the traffic is unbelievable. Everything was on time and just perfect thanks to Exoticca. We hope to travel with them again and would highly recommend to friends and family.”
“Overall the tour was excellent. We did choose to go the luxury stay based on other reviews, which we were grateful for as some of the other hotel accommodations were not as nice based on what other travelers shared. We felt very safe, rooms were nice. Our driver and tour guide were excellent, the cost of the trip did include entry fees to the sites, museums etc. The locations we visited were stunning and it was a lovely way to see Greece. The tour was very structured and we stayed on time without any issues. The only downside we experienced was that it was difficult to find the Exoticca representative at the airport as they were tucked behind the cruise line representatives and we couldn't see them. However, we did call Exoticca and they did tell us that the representatives were at the airport, so we did another search. It would have been nice to have the App updated as our tour was backwards from what was in the App and it never updated. Our free day was actually at the end of the tour not the beginning. We would definitely be willing to use Exoticca for another trip.”
“Did Vietnam (awesome), Cambodia (OK) and Thailand (great). Exoticca orgainisation was terrific (although Thailand 3rd party organisation seems a bit chaotic). Amazing countries with great diversity with warm and friendly people. Street food 110% for flavour, price and excitement.”
“The 7 day tour of the iconic sites of Egypt ie Abu Simbel, Aswan, Luxor, Cairo was excellently organised. It was pretty intense as very early starts were needed for internal flights, but I actually wanted an experience, rather than a holiday.
This tour fitted the bill perfectly, and was excellent value for money. The hotels/ boat accommodation were top quality.”
“We had the most amazing holiday in South America (Three Wonders, one epic journey) visiting Peru, Argentina and Brazil. The Exottica trip was well organised and offered all the main sites in each country. We usually travel independently so this was our first organised tour and we will definitely choose Exottica in the future. South America is a wonderful destination to explore.”
“The Peru 360 trip is full on, well priced but expect long days travelling made even longer if you book the added trip to Rainbow Mountain as it occurs the day after Machu Picchu....4hrs sleep that night as there was a delay getting back to the hotel at midnight after Machu Picchu then up at 4am for a 5am departure.
Hotels so so, listed as "charm" I'd say a 2*, one especially wasn't in a good location, was told it was 15mins to the old town...actually we are quick walkers and it was a good 40mins, uphill a very busy main road, not somewhere you would go in the evening.
Exoticca need to mention that on the internal flights you can only take 1 bag with you into the cabin.
For some reason Exoticca did not book our 2 hold bags with the airline for the return journey from Lima to London, causing a delay at check in while the check in desk made various phone calls....why, when they were booked for the outward journey🤔🤔”
