I didn’t have to plan a thing. I simply showed up, and from the moment I stepped off the plane, I was greeted and escorted with ease. We got to experience some truly unforgettable highlights, including a visit to Hobbiton and an incredible Maori cultural show. Every transfer was perfectly timed, and the transportation was comfortable, clean, and reliable. If you’re busy and don’t have time to plan a vacation but still want an amazing, stress-free experience, Esplanade Travel will absolutely come through for you. I’ll definitely be booking with them again! Read More

When we were referred to Esplanade and began conversations with Christine Bowe about an Africa trip, we had spent years trying to navigate the many options for African safaris. Which countries, which wildlife, group or individual tour, one guide throughout or not? Christine was immensely helpful and listened to all of our interests before suggesting a couple of approaches and trip itineraries. As we continued discussions, she revised the itinerary (many times), which helped make us comfortable with the trip we ultimately booked. During the months before the trip, Christine was in close communication about logistics, clothing and packing suggestions, health considerations and even a reading list for each country on our itinerary. Every communication (and there were many) was pleasant and helpful. The trip was amazing -- truly everything we ever hoped it would be. The custom itinerary was well-constructed and the safari camp/lodging accommodations - at bush/tent camps - were luxurious an Read More

We worked with Christine Bowe and she was the best! She helped us plan the perfect trip based on what we told her we wanted to do. Every detail was taken care of . . .airport transfers, hotel checkins, excursions and tours . . . all of it was planned for us, which allowed us to just enjoy the trip and not have to worry about anything. The week before we left she sent us a detailed itinerary that spelled out each day for us, hour by hour, and everything went without a hitch!! We will definitely reach out to Esplanade Travel and Christine when we are ready to start planning our next overseas trip. We highly recommend Esplanade Travel and especially Christine Bowe. Read More
