What travelers are saying

"My wife and I were on the Smithsonian Journeys Splendors of Australia and New Zealand between April 13 and May 2, 2018. Smithsonian is rated by this site as Luxury travel. However, Smithsonian "farms out" the logistics for their trip to Odysseys Unlimited. Odysseys booked within country air travel with the lowest cost air carriers. Flights were cancelled from Ayers Rock to Sydney and from Queenstown New Zealand to Rotorua. Another flight was significantly delayed so that we did not arrive at our Christchurch destination until 2:00 am, making for a really tired next day. Odysseys Unlimited compensated us $400 per person for missing a day in Sydney and paid for an excursion in Auckland for missing Rotorua. This was wholly inadequate, given that these were highlights of the trip. In addition, our tour guide was rude to several people on the trip. If Smithsonian Journeys is truly a luxury travel outfit, as we had believed, then they would not be farming out travel logistics to such a chinch company as Odysseys Unlimited. We will think twice about traveling with Smithsonian again, and so should others."

What travelers are saying

"Samson and the team at Rosolo events are very high quality operators. We used them for 3-4 days over our wedding weekend in Naivasha to transport our c.100 guests from various countries (UK, US, Canada, Singapore, Nigeria, Kenya) including airport pick ups and various shuttles between hotels and wedding event locations. Many of our guests also chose to do Safari Trips with Rosolo in Nairobi, Nakuru and Masaai Mara. The feedback from those was also 100% positive. We cannot thank you enough!"
