Luxury, bespoke international small group tours for mature travellers

I am writing to thank you for providing us with the most marvellous tour of Japan. We have just completed the Boutique Tours & Travel Cherry Blossom Tour with Glenda, (‘tour organiser extraordinaire’)  it was fabulous and so well organised. Hotels were excellent, many delicious foodie moments (We would never have tried all the different foods had we been on our own)  and there was wide variety of activities and experiences including sushi making class to a kimono moment and sharing in a tea ceremony. We loved that we experienced a variety of transport from the local buses and trains to the exciting bullet train. We loved that it was a small group including wonderful Japanese guides. We felt like we learnt a lot about the Japanese culture and we were so lucky to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom …just as in the picture post cards. All in all a wonderful trip and we have no hesitation in recommending Boutique Tours & Travel. Thank you Glenda ! 

Wow. What a fantastic place is Egypt. I was treated to amazing accommodation, food and guides. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Egypt itself is amazing, the history, the pyramids, the tombs, the temples, even the ride on camels. 

Our guides, especially Ayman, were so knowledgeable and brought the past to life. Our transportation and drivers were amazing in the Egyptian traffic. 

We had a 4 night cruise on the Nile which was amazing, there's that word again, the service, rooms and food and sights along the way were, you guessed it, amazing. 

Thanks Glenda for organising such a wonderful bucket list trip. 

I am just writing to tell you how much I enjoyed my trip to Japan  and we were lucky to see the beautiful cherry blossoms. The tour was planned so well, we were able to immerse ourselves into the culture, eat at authentic Japanese restaurants and we had plenty of photo opportunities. I loved that we had a mixture of coach travel and Bullet train journeys as well as walking through markets and gardens in the different cities and rural areas. So many highlights and came back  home having experienced the very best of Japan thanks to your planning and we had so much fun along the way.  I have recommended you to friends and family and looking forward to my next trip with you . Thanks again Edwina Rodgers Melbourne

Wow, what a trip.  Japan was amazing. It was cherry blossom season and they certainly were everywhere and beautiful. We were treated to wonderful food in many settings from city, Unesco town, off the beaten track, monastery and mustn't forget the dragon burger,  restaurants. We had many experiences including dressing up in kimonos and having a tea ceremony, another wonderful dinner and a Geisha explaining her life and performing a dance, learnt how to make sushi and so much more. 

I have also been to China with Glenda which again had many cultural and wonderful food experiences. 

Thank you again Glenda and I cannot wait for my next trip with you. 

“We have had an extraordinary journey through Egypt. Our two main guides, Mariana and Bishoy, have provided expert insight of Egyptian history and so much more. 

Then there is Glenda Fagan. Glenda designed the tour, was such a great travel companion (tour leader), and always made sure every day had wow factor, immersion, and spontaneous moments. 

Glenda organises private tours and small group tours to wonderful locations. She is a superwoman and we cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“Wow, what a fantastic and fun experience I had on my tour with you in Turkey. I saw and learnt more than I every expected so much history, old civilizations and cultures and I returned home with a thirst for more knowledge. The restaurants and the food you chose was to die for; we ate in some wonderful restaurants. I loved all the tour and all the shopping bargains. There was no one stand out highlight as every day was full of them. Your tour exceeded all my expectations in every way. Thank you.”

“I just wanted to let you know how fantastic your tour to China was. I loved Shanghai especially, it was out of this world, and the Terracotta warriors were just amazing and Beijing had so much to offer. The itinerary was terrific and having a small group really allowed us to experience things in a more personal way. Your support and advice helped us every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble due to your wonderful planning. Thank you so very much.”

“What a fabulous holiday we had in Vietnam with you. It was such a pleasant change from the other tours we had done in the past. Having such a small group really allowed us to experience things in a more personal way and it was great knowing that nothing was ’set in concrete’ and we still had time to wander and discover on our own. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you so much, we will definitely tell others.”
