Reviews

Two Peacocks Travel is incredible. They thought of everything! I am an experienced traveler and still wouldn't have thought of all the details that they put together. Ana and Sandy did all the vetting of all the tours, accommodations, places to eat, places to shop, and everything! It made the trip so relaxing and stress-free. They were ready for everyone to arrive and made us feel welcome. If we needed anything, they made it happen. If we wanted anything, they looked into it and tried to incorporate it. When we needed to shift plans, they took care of it all. In preparing for the trip, Ana and Sandy made sure we had a few calls to meet each other and talk about what we should pack, which was extremely helpful. They made sure that everyone felt included and taken care of. All of the activities were inclusive and people's fitness levels were taken into consideration. They are truly excellent at documenting everything. I didn't have to worry about taking any photos because they handled it all. This particular trip was an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend Two Peacocks Travel. You will feel like a VIP. I will certainly book another trip without reservation. They are 5-stars all the way.

Two Peacocks curated an incredible experience! My wife and I rarely travel without other couples or friends thinking about our safety as two women outside the US. Two Peacocks allow us to travel to places we have always wanted to go without having to rely on convincing our friends to join us. We felt safe and secure through all of our travel. Two Peacocks ensured that all local transportation, hotels and tours were included. We did not know everyone in our group and the Two Peacocks facilitated Zoom calls so we could get to know each other and ask questions before our trip. Two Peacocks provided information about weather, made recommendations about clothing and anything we may have forgotten about was provided by them because they were extra prepared for everyone. Two Peacocks also took pictures and videos of us during our travel and shared them after the trip. We made new friends, had an incredible experience and look forward to many more excursions with Two Peacocks. Thank you ladies :)
