Hi Theo, Our trip was absolutely perfect! Everything completely exceeded our expectations and I have a friend that actually asked for all your contact information so she could inquire about a trip to Africa as well! Everything travel related went so smoothly and I can't thank you enough!! Michelle |

Hello all, By far our most outstanding experience was the lodge and safari. They were amazing! The amount of animals we saw, the staff, the food, all of it was top notch and we would do it all again just for those 3 days of amazing safaris. Staff couldn't have been more accommodating, it was truly incredible. Sincerely, Joanna T |

Hello Binod, Our trip was flawless! We so appreciate the attention to detail that you provided and we have already recommended Platinum Holidays to friends who have asked about the trip. Cairo was wonderful and the guides were very organized and modified the itinerary times so we beat the crowds and had a great Cairo experience. Our guide in Greece was astoundingly informed and we had a great understanding of the history of Greece. We have planned the trips ourselves and traveled with Rick Steve in Italy and Gate 1 in Thailand and feel that what you planned for us with the small groups was superior. Thank you for your patience with the trip that got canceled due to covid, and again we have recommended and will continue to recommend your wonderful organization. Graham Show more |

Hello Our trip to South Africa/Victoria Falls/Chobe was the trip of a lifetime! Words can’t explain how wonderful our trip was. We were handled with care and expertise from the minute we made the first call to get details about the trip until we boarded the plane to come home. The customer service staff are amazing. Thank you Jackson and colleagues for all your suggestions and help with booking. Thank you Peter and Marvel-the best safari guides ever! We saw the big 5 in the first 2 days! Thanks to the chefs at Beck’s Lodge for all the plant-based meals! Beck’s Lodge is just amazing. The hospitality, accommodations, spa, and staff are great! Everyone went above and beyond. Thanks to our guide Mehluli who treated us like family while we were in Victoria Falls. We will definitely travel with Platinum Holdiays again. Michelle and David Show more |

Hi Deodene, My trip was thoroughly amazing. Safari was awesome! I saw so many animals in the wild, and they were beautiful. Victoria falls were awesome as well. The add-ons were well worth it. My extra time in Johannesburg was nice also; there is so much to see and do. I had no full agenda in the city and still saw many nice museums. Thanks again for all your help! Ray |

Just returned from a 15 day tour of Egypt and Jordan. We had an amazing time. We were well taken care of. First I would like to send a BIG thank you to Binod and all of Tavel Discounters/Platinum Travel. When we were faced with changing travel plans you stepped right up and reorganized our tour. We felt extremely safe in challenging times. We were able to experience everything we imagined. From The Nile Cruise, camping in the desert, camel rides, climbing the Great Pyramid, Petra, and everything in between. Your guides were very professional. Their experience and education showed through time and time again. The accommodations were wonderful. We tasted many wonderful local dishes. Our private driver/guide, Mo, in Jordan was great. We had lots of laughs with Mo. We learned a lot of personal life in Jordan. We saw many amazing sites in Jordan, as well as some extra sites not on the itinerary. You went above and beyond and gave us the best trip. Thank you! Show more |

My beginning flights were cancelled due to weather. Junior answered my phone call within 4 rings and totally reassured me to follow through with my new flights. (I’m an inexperienced, 59yr old, female traveller)Juniorhas been 110+% wonderful through my whole adventure. (I tried not to bug him too much, so that when I did call, he’d know I needed help. And, he Totally came through) Every connection and ‘met by a rep’ situation was perfectly accurate; just as he promised. This was truly a trip of a lifetime for me and I am already recommending Travel Discounters (and Junior 😉👍) to everyone I talk to. Thank you so very much. ❤️👍👍👍 Show more |

Outstanding trip that exceeded expectations. You hired excellent guides and Egyptologists for every stop. All were great but the best was Sahar in Cairo who created such a strong connection between our group and the history of Egypt it brought my wife to joyful tears. We look forward to taking another trip through you guys again. Thank you, Bill |

This tour delivered far more than I expected, right from the minute we stepped off of the plane!
Right from the minute we stepped off the plane we were greeted by an exceptional BlueSky representative. Hotel and Cruise were excellent. Daily agendas were well planned. The staff on the cruise went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and our needs met.

I just wanted to tell you how fabulous our trip to India was and thanks again for your help!
We really enjoyed having our own little car with a driver and guide for the week. It was a wonderful glimpse of this part of India, our recollections of the elephants, the cows, the camels, the traffic and the forts and antiquities will remain near the top of our experiences.

All in all it was a very memorable nature & cultural experience!
We had a great time. Very scenic area. Weather was sunny & nice & wildlife sightings were great.....we even saw the white spirit bear. It was the lodge's first sighting of the year & Kathy was the first to spot it from the boat. The staff was very friendly, welcoming & accommodating.
