Esther from CIRE planned the most unbelievable trip for us to Morocco. Every detail was flawlessly executed. Amazing excursions and activities and the most knowledgeable local tour guides. Highly recommend!

I had not worked with a company like CIRE before, which customizes your travel to fit exactly what you want to do, hope to do, when, how and how many of you. My husband and I and two friends, all of us experienced travelers, wanted to visit Greece, where we had not been before, for two weeks in April. We knew what we wanted to see (ancient monuments) but these were scattered on different islands and we had no idea the best way to get to each one, get to the sight, have a hotel, a guide, etc. CIRE's representative for us, Esther, worked closely with me (the main planner) to figure out what and how and also made suggestions about places we did not know about, ways to get to particular destinations (ferry, car, plane), options for hotels that would suit us and transportation to and from.

We were amazed to find that all vans and drivers were on time, pleasant and knowledgeable, each guide was well informed not only about the sights but also the history and role in Greece, each hotel was up to expectations, and we managed to get to almost all the places we wanted to go in a short time. Finally, on the two occasions when there was a glitch (not fault of CIRE) - ferry 4 hours late, day sail canceled b/c of weather, the local representatives for CIRE were in contact with us, helping to manage luggage and alternate plans.

Working with Esther and the company's represenatives on site was not only efficient and effective but also a pleasure.

Thanks to them!

From start to finish, Melissa planned our family’s trip to Portugal to perfection. She handled all of the arrangements, always with an eye toward detail. The trip itself couldn’t have been smoother and more convenient. Once you travel with CIRE, you can’t do it any other way. Thank you Melissa, Esther, and all the rest at CIRE for curating our unforgettable trip!

My family and I had a fantastic and very well-designed trip to Japan thanks to the energetic support of Esther Klijn and CIRE. Every detail was well considered and the logistics were prepared with thorough professionalism. We highly recommend working with this team!

The perfect honeymoon of our dreams was made possible by Katy and YinYin. They worked alongside us to learn our travel goals, likes, dislikes, and desires over the course of multiple phone calls to hone in on the exact trip that we wanted.

Katy was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to guide our questions and give us multiple options for us to decide on. We ended up deciding on an African honeymoon starting in South Africa, then safari, and capped off with an island resort in Mozambique.

Everything was booked and laid out well in advance to allow for planning. We were provided our itinerary with all of our booking information, timelines, and contact information. Our budget was under consideration and the team really made an effort to keep us within those constraints.

The accommodations, tours, transfers, and flights were all perfect. An extra shoutout to the hotels and resorts which were top notch and made our honeymoon extra romantic and special.

Overall, I would recommend CIRE, Katy, and YinYin to anyone looking to plan their honeymoon or any other longer travel plans. I for one will definitely be using them in the future!

Katy from CIRE Travel arranged a recent trip for me and she was fantastic. She helped me choose a place based on my needs, arranged all of the details down to the car booking and activities at the resort, and was always incredibly responsive to all of my messages. I will absolutely be using this company again and again for all future trips.

Esther planned and executed our trip to PSV and it was immensely helpful. It took so much of the stress of planning and she walked us through all the COVID, immigration issues, booked everything, it made the trip much more enjoyable. They were always available and the volcano erupted just before our trip and they had real time information to help decide what to do! We will use them for our next vacation for sure!
