The guides and accommodations were all very good. Fairvoyage was responsive to all of our requests. I highly recommend your services. My only recommendation would be to use a different hotel in Ollantaytambo because the El Albergue hotel is at the train station and is very noisy. There also is no way to get a car there so all of the luggage has to be hauled up the hill to a parking lot.
We worked with Hannah, Julian and Guido and a wonderful trip to Costa Rica. They listened closely to our interest and wishes for our Costa Rican experience and did a wonderful job of recommending regions of the country, accomodations and excursions that both showcased the countries gems in a way and with operators that fit our families personal preferences, may of which were off the beating path! Highly recommended!
All aspects of the organisation of our trip were handled extremely well. The local guides and porters were as good as we could have hoped for.
Our trip was a little complicated with three activities, some parts booked by us, and others booked by Fair Voyage. I thought about the possibilities that anything could go wrong at any number of points. Despite all this, everything was -- and I hate to use this word -- PERFECT! Everything was well-organised, drivers showed up on time, food in the meals that were included was delicious and filling, the gorillas were easily reached and didn't mind spending time with us, our guides on Kilimanjaro were beyond phenomenal, we had a seamless transition from Kili to the Serengeti ...where we hoped that in three days we *might* see the wildebeest crossing the Mara River when in fact we saw them crossing multiple times... I could go on and on! These are the big items, but the smaller details were also well-thought-out: our porters gave us filling snacks on Kili, we had high-quality tents and sleeping bags, the safari tent was marvellous, and the bed there was THE MOST COMFORTABLE ON THE PLANET!
In spite of never having met physically with any Fair Voyage employee, all interaction felt very personal and tailored to our specific needs and requests. We didn't have a clear view of what we exactly were looking for initally but were very well guided and advised by the team. Working with Fair Voyage felt right at all times. Having returned from our Tanzania trip, our feeling and trust for the Fair Voyage team has proven to have been right. We were rewarded with a fantastic journey and stay in Africa that felt special, "nichey" and good at all times.
Professional service that allows for peace of mind in unfamiliar places, and sustainably too: a great combo.
Highly recommended for finding and booking sustainable trips with local tour operators, expert on Kilimanjaro climbs! Professional, reliable and devoted to responsible travelling.
Amazing team of guides and porters - they made sure we got to the summit safely and had fun along the way. I felt like I found a new mountain family out there :) Asante Sana Fair Voyage/Pristine Trails!
Having met Alex on a bicycle trip across Africa, I was really inspired by her passion and commitment to provide a platform that allows others to arrange ethical and conscious travel. Fair Voyage is a top notch organisation with an amazing mission, and I look forward to arranging my next trip with them!
I appreciate to be able to book at fair and sustainable holiday providers. I trust in the experience of Alex there.
Can highly recommend Fair Voyage!! It is one of the best sustainable travel companies out there, specialising in travel to Africa. The team, including, Founder, Alex, has amazing local knowledge and expert tips for the conscious traveller.
