Epic Reviews

Morocco Trip of a lifetime

We had such an amazing trip thanks to Epic We totally fell in love with Morocco All the accommodations we re top notch and beyond expectation The Riad Fez was so beautiful it felt like we were staying in a jewel box and the food there was great We had the same guide and driver for 5 out of the 10 day trip which was amazing Nori our guide was like a professor he knew the history of everything We learned so much from him and it added so much to our experience Our favorite part of was rural areas and the beautiful landscape Skoura the desert all the mountains we re just beautiful Our last stay in Marrakesh at Raid Due was wonderful they really took care of us Elena the Raid Manager was like a tour director and helped us make the most of our time their She recommended a Hammam that s was a real treat for us Everything was seamless Epic s team was so attentive and coordinated everything for us They only use vendors they have tested and meet or exceed their standards We learned and experienced so much more than if we would have organized the trip ourselves We hope Epic expands to other areas of Africa so we can continue to explore with them

We had the most amazing two weeks in

We had the most amazing two weeks in Portugal thanks to the Epic team Our first week was together with my sister s families and my mother so we had to cater for ages from 13-80 no mean feat and the second week was just our family of 5 - so not a simple brief but I can say it was our best holiday ever What made it special was the variety of locations and activities Porto Lisbon sightseeing kayaking mountain biking wine tasting in the Duoro valley surfing and chilling by the pool in Alentejo - it all fitted together seamlessly and we returned sad to leave but energised by a perfect holiday None of this happens by chance Epic spent the time to understand what we liked and wanted from the holiday and with their first-hand experience of the activities and places matched us with the perfect itinerary I can t wait to see what they can arrange next time

Marrakech April 2022 amazing experience

Charlie and his team were absolutely incredible we had a holiday of a lifetime building many wonderful memories through all the activities We ballooned walked in the Atlas Mountains dune buggies guided shopping tour attended a cooking class and made our own perfumes all organised brilliantly along with reservations to some wonderful restaurants Thank you Charlie and team it was all amazing

You will not be sorry

Charlie and Epic arranged a Morroco trip for us in late-March 2019 We d wanted to go for several years but with school and work schedules always in the way it never seemed the right time Charlie s patience with me during our very lengthy back-and-forth was no pun intended epic This was just the start of how awesome both he and Epic Travel are He arranged a 10-day trip to Marrakech including nights in the Atlas Mountains and Scarabeo Camp in the desert We stayed in two beautiful riads and took motorcycle and walking tours and a cooking class in Marrakech We hiked through the mountains and sampled some of the best fruit I ve ever tasted We rode camels and drove buggies through the desert It was one of our favorite vacations and we hope to return when our schedules allow I fully recommend this company and especially Charlie He is knowledgeable patient and easy to work with He put together a very special trip for us My wife and girls then 12 14 and 18 consider it our best trip ever He can do so for you as well

5 stars for Epic travel

Happy to write a 5star review for Charlie and team at Epic Travel We typically plan trips ourselves and now I see why people use a professional They got the hang of what we were looking to do and planned a really stunning trip to Morocco for us in March 2020 Lo and behold trip was cancelled due to a little viral pandemic Just rebooted the trip and planning was perfect from start to finish Drivers were on time with beautiful cars Hotels were for us perfect blend of local comfortable and beautiful The guides were not just picked out of a hat these were folks who were really interesting and wonderful people to meet and know A few highlights - the balloon trip in Marrakech is one I would never have chosen on my own but was truly stunning Hiking in the Atlas Mountains with wonderful guide beautiful sights and local color aplenty Desert camp fit for a prince in the Agafay desert All in all a trip we will long remember We are already planning a trip to Portugal so we can stay in the epic travel family

Nicole created a unique Portugal trip

Nicole helped make our trip special because she created a unique experience based on our previously discussed interests In addition the guides that she paired us with were outstanding as well as the accommodations

Perfection

For our first trip abroad in several years I no longer trusted the websites I used to use for reviews of hotels and experiences So I decided to try an in-country travel planner to guide our itinerary planning Thankfully I came across a mention of Epic Travel in a travel blog I had come to enjoy Nicole and the team backing her up made this one of the most memorable vacations my husband and I have enjoyed over the last 20 years She asked many questions first to make sure she understood our likes and dislikes After we had a general outline of the itinerary she then gave us several options for accommodations restaurants and activities all tailored to our personal tastes There wasn t a single instance of disappointment or dissatisfaction The planning was impeccable Every guide we met was outstanding The hotels were out of this world And the restaurant choices were ones that I am sure we would have not been able to find on our own We were celebrating a big anniversary and Nicole added a few lovely and very personal touches to our experience that made the occasion all the more memorable We hope to go back to Portugal again and will definitely ask Epic to plan our trip

An Epic Trip

Nicole at Epic Travel made our trip so memorable My Wife and I had never used a trip planner before but going to Portugal for a month we figured we should have some help She set up everything and would check in often to remind us of our schedule and to see how we were doing We even got to meet her when in Lisbon and Thank her for everything she did for us We highly recommend her K J

Epic made our trip to the Azores the most incredible time

We are mother and daughter and used Epic for our journey to the Azores in June 2023 As experienced travellers we are quite particular in the ways we like to organize our trips Epic has done an incredible job in meeting and even going far beyond our expectations Nicole has taken such careful consideration when planning our activities and stays while paying close attention to each and every small detail No matter the day or the hour we could rely on a quick response from Nicole and for her team to handle any situation no matter the unpredictability Before arriving in the Azores my baggage was lost by the airline despite this stepback Nicole came to our aid and is fighting with us to retrieve it I truly appreciate all that Epic has done to make our trip so special and we are forever grateful for having chosen them to lead our adventure this summer We cannot wait to bring back friends and family and to use their services again in the future
