My son and I had a fabulous time. The western fjords are breathtaking. Very remote. Simply spectacular. Could not have been happier. And guide Urn was thoughtful and knowledgeable. Would not have changed a thing. Next trip I will go east to the water glacier.

Yes, the trip was incredible! The scenery was indescribably, breathtakingly beautiful, the activities were a blast and our guide Bjarni (not sure if that’s the right spelling), was fabulous!
Most all the guides on our outings were great, and Bjarni was terrific, a great driver in some tough weather, able to pivot when whale watching was canceled, and take us dog sledding (The people and dogs at Snow Dogs Iceland, made this a high point of the trip), and finding a terrific and unusual restaurant for dinner one night in Myvatn.
Please convey our thanks to Spiced Destinations. It was so much better than we ever anticipated!

I just got home from my first trip to Morocco, taking a group of 13 people.
The trip was perfect from start to finish. Spiced Destinations did a fabulous job planning our itinerary and all of our hotels and riads were perfect.
Before we left, they gave us lots of helpful information about food, packing, tipping... and once we arrived, our local guide took great care of us. He went out of his way to make sure we saw and did everything we wanted to do. He was the perfect combination of experience, knowledge, local connections, humor and patience. We all loved him.
Morocco is such a unique destination with varying landscapes, food, and sites. I have never been to a country where the locals were more welcoming and happy to see us. We felt very safe wandering through the colorful souks shopping till we dropped. I am so glad we went now because it was like having our own private experiences everywhere. While I am sure it is amazing anytime, we had many of the sites to ourselves- no crowds, no waiting in long lines making for perfect photo ops and VIP treatment everywhere.
One of the highlights was riding camels in the desert to watch the sunset. It was surreal! The desert camps are a don't miss.
If you have a bucket list, Morocco needs to be on it! Spiced Destinations will handle all of the details for you so all you have to do is enjoy your trip.

Spiced Destinations made our FAM trip to Brazil memorable in every way. The level of hotels, sightseeing, meals and service were all superior. The in country destinations had a great mixture of city and nature. It was hard to decide which I liked best. We enjoyed a wide variety of fun and learning experiences, which were both destination and personally enriching. Traveling in a small group with other agents was also so beneficial. The trip made me realize that South America has more to offer than most of my clients are aware of and that I need to help them have a new perspective on Brazil. Much appreciation to Spiced Destinations and Eitan for the wonderful Brazil FAM.

We are sorry this short report is a bit late in coming to you. However, we have continued to relive ALL of the memories and experiences we encountered during our travels to Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. For us, it was a trip of a lifetime.
What made this trip so fabulous was the coordination of our desires with the expertise of Wayne Griffin Travel and Spiced Destinations. While there was some angst on our part before we embarked, we found that virtually all of the details were executed almost to 100% in each of the countries and cities we experienced. Well done! Thank you for your diligence and attention to the myriad details.
We really enjoyed our accommodations in all of the venues. The 4-5 star hotels provided a welcome respite from some long days of touring as we enjoyed broadening our perspective of new cultures.
Another highlight of our trip was the private guides we had as well as the drivers that accompanied them. The guides were simply outstanding in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, Thailand. In Viet Nam, our two female guides were amazing. Each was on time, organized, focused, flexible, friendly, and very competent. What a joy they were!
Lastly, as we were advised, the foreign airlines were far and away much better than U.S. airlines. The comfort, service with a smile, and attitudes of flight personnel was of high quality. We are glad we chose premium economy seating on JAL. Thanks.
So, new worlds were opened up to us in splendid fashion. We believe we are changed and better people because of this 28 day adventure. We are grateful for your involvement in the planning and follow-through of our travel experience.

On behalf of the Kreitzmans, Yoods and us Bermans, collectively, we want to thank you for the trip of a lifetime to South America.
From the initial contact with Luciana through touch down back in New York the experience with Spiced Destinations
was almost perfection. The timing and planning was excellent, the hotels were superb, the local guides were all tremendous (Arianna in Buenos Aires, Rodrigo in Iguazzu and Laura in Rio) and we felt secure and taken care of in each locality. In addition to Buenos Aires and Rio, Iguazzu which is a must for ANYONE traveling to that
part of the world. Make sure to tell people, as well, that with the right guide and the proper precautions that we felt safe in Rio and indeed were able to walk the beach of Copacabana unaccompanied. Additionally the customization of the touring to include the sites of Jewish interest was meaningful for all of us and not something we could have achieved on a boilerplate tour. How lucky we were to come upon your agency at the recommendation of Tova Gilead. We look forward to additional adventures and working with you in the future.
