Deserts of North India

“My trip was to India, Bhutan, Nepal & Tibet. The services were outstanding and sometimes even exceeded the expectations. In Bhutan Sangay Dhendup was exceptional as it is somebody that really loves his country and made for us a beautiful experience. Even though we didn’t use the butler service, we are aware they were all ways taking care of our needs. We feel we could even have made a longer stay as it was really a great experience. We are already looking for a future trip to the region. Thanks for everything!!!”  – J. & R. Y.


Southern Tanzania

They (Guests) had great praise for the entire Big Five Staff. They enjoyed all of the  arrangements and were very happy with the White Glove Service®.  (So was I; it was wonderful to receive all of the updates).  Both of them told me that the Big Five guides were excellent. And they were very impressed with how the Big Five representatives immediately  handled any situations which did arise.  All in all, it was a great  success and we have very satisfied clients.” B.

Namibia

“We had the most AMAZING time in Africa! I have been working on editing our picture… so I could send you the best ones of my daughter and the many experiences we had. Her dreams came true in every way. In fact, she wrote those very words in the guest books at the camps we stayed at.  We just kept pinching ourselves to make sure it was real that we were on “safari” in Africa up close to so many wild animals! It was definitely an experience of a lifetime in every way. ” – A.D.


Argentina

“I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what a wonderful experience we had. Your agents, guides, drivers & cooks were top notch, which made our trip one of the most enjoyable we’ve ever experienced. We have already recommended Big Five to several friends, and we hope to travel with you again in the future. Thank you!” G.G.


Japan

“It is good to know that Big Five cares about our clients and (company).  In all of my years, this is my first experience from a tour vendor who got ahead of the news and assisted the clients to make sure they are safe.  Needless to say, yes, I have seen Big Five do other things for our clients, updating me about the progress of their tour. Wow, kudos to Big Five. Thank you for your time.” – T. A.

Our guide was the best ever: personable and warm in personality, so knowledgeable and interesting in content, and of course the arrangements were always impeccable, as were the selections of the things we did. (Guide) was a joy to be with, and we all just loved him. We accomplished so much. As for my flight arrangements, they were just perfect, and went off without a hitch. ” – K.J.


Ecuador & The Galapagos – You have won my clients over

I wanted to thank you and …to let you know I just got an email from my clients & how much of a great time they are having & how well they are being taking care.

And how they do not want to tour with anybody other than with BigFive Tours from now on.

Not only did you sold the Tour, You sold your company.

Thank you very very Much!

Morocco – “The Food was Delicious”

First time to Morocco and the food was delicious! In Fez and Marrakech the food was more North American – It was tasty, but would have preferred Moroccan cuisine.

Our Tour guide & Driver were Amazing-welcoming, & they made our trip memorable

If I were to travel again… I would like to go to Africa with BigFive.

Sincerely,

P&D.M


Buenos Aires, Peru & Galapagos

Our trip was just EXCELLANT!

From our Final Documents to our Ground Transportation all was just great!  We also enjoyed the meals and accommodation from the hotel properties. 

This was our first time traveling with BigFive and we will seriously consider to go thru you again.

Thank you for a fantastic trip!

Opened our eyes to East African landscape and wildlife

Thank-you for assigning our guide to us whilst we were on safari past week. He opened our eyes to East African landscape and wildlife,sharing his extensive knowledge during our daily game drives. We were travelling with our grandchildren and he was most attentive to their questions making it an exhilarating trip of discovery for them. He is an excellent ambassador for his country and it’s inhabitants.

Many thanks,

D & A and family

 


Ecuador & Galapagos – Charming Quide – we would do it again

Our trip was wonderful! And our guide in Ecuador was excellent in every way!  We would like to take the rainforest trip and will ask for her again.  She was very professional, knowledgeable and quite charming!

I would certainly go with BigFive to  Peru, Chile & Ecuador again!

Cant tell you how much we enjoyed your company!

Sincerely,

M&D. K


Patagonia & Iguazu Falls – Our guides knew how to get us around the falls,

Our guide, who drove with us to and from El Calafate to El Chalten was an amazing source of info and help.  She was AWSOME.

And our other guide at the Iguazu Falls really knew how to get us around the falls, and thru all the customs processes, going back and forth between Brazil and Argentina.

Can’t wait to go on our next planned trip this year to Tanzania & Uganda with you again.

See you soon!

From East Africa…OUR FABULOUS TRIP!!!!

Hello BigFive,

I think that we four woman are all still trying to cope with re- entering our normal lives. Jet lag is over but who wants to be back here? Life was glorious for us every day as we went out on our drives, saw an abundance of animals and spent evening having sun-downers and eating fabulous meals!
I just wanted to thank you, and our Travel Agent, for planning a wonderful and perfect Safari for us. Your knowledge in choosing just the right camps and guides was superb, I think that I can speak for all of us in saying that we felt safe, well cared for and indeed pampered during this trip.

All in all, traveling so far and having none-stop activities is not totally easy. There is little time for rest, since there is always more to see and do. However, it could not have been made easier for us. We found the staff at every lodge or camp absolutely accommodating.
I do not think that we will ever forget the Valentine’s dinner on the veranda at Camp or our cocktails, or those magnificent gardens there! The Property was so elegant and yet rustic and having hippos frolicking in the River below our tents was something I will always remember so fondly.
I just want you to know that if I ever do another exotic trip, or even return to Africa, which I do want to do, I will be calling Big Five. I will highly recommend you to my friends.
I could go on and on but will end by saying thank you again for making our perhaps one and only Safari the trip of a lifetime and a dream fulfilled!

Sincerely

Happy clients who just got back from East Africa.

Northern India – I would do it again

Dear Big Five,

We spent a wonderful 10days in India, and it was just not enough time, everyone was friendly, the hotels were great, and your Destination Specialist was very helpful and knowledgeable. It was very comforting knowing that he was a guide himself for many years in India and prepared a lovely itinerary for us.

Our Driver was exceptional!

I would defiantly revisit India again.

Sincerely,

D&K. W

 

 

 


Chile & Argentina – Lets Tango!

We have been to many destinations with you and this time we wanted to Tango!

We had an amazing time, our destination specialist listen to what we wanted and since we have traveled with you in the past it was comforting knowing we were in great hands.

Our guides and hotels were excellent, Buenos Aires Tango shows is defiantly a must! Next time I would like to take an authentic Tango Lesson.

Sincerely,

J & J. G
