Baboo travel was like finding a gem in… Baboo travel was like finding a gem in the rough. Understand that Baboo designs your itinerary and then aligns your plans with a local expert on the history and culture of the city/country you’re visiting. A group of four of us went to Italy for the first time to visit Rome and Sorrento on a 10 day trip. We are actually on day 8 right now but felt compelled to write this review prior to our return to Saint Louis. Marianne was our trip coordinator and did a wonderful job in keeping us on track. For example, in Sorrento we did a boat trip to the isle of Capri. One of our group was dead set on taking a sailboat from Sorrento to Capri. Marianne politely pointed out that at that time of year (late October) that it could be cold and rainy with some pretty rough seas. Well if she wasn’t spot on. I am so happy we took her advice. Because it was rainy, the seas were rough and it got cold. Then there was ROME. I can’t say enough good about that segment of our trip. Marianne selected Martina to be our local guide. She was the epitome of professionalism and knowledge. The first day was a walking tour of the city. The next day the forum and coliseum followed by the Vatican museums on the last day. Each day built on the previous. She was marvelous not only in her knowledge but her uncanny ability to circumvent what seemed to be endless lines. We would walk to the front of the lines and have a special gate or entrance to pass through. Hahaha, it was Martina’s line. She was great Marianne was great. All in all it was a very pleasurable experience. I suppose the tell tale sigh of a good review is that if I go to anywhere in Europe again my first contact is going to be BABOO TRAVEL.

Amazing experience with Baboo I had the most incredible family custom trip to Costa Rica with Baboo! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. First and foremost, the guides from Baboo were exceptional. Their knowledge of Costa Rica's diverse ecosystems, wildlife, and culture was truly impressive. They made sure our trip was not only educational but also loads of fun for both kids and adults. Their passion for the country was infectious, and we learned so much from them. The itinerary they put together was perfectly tailored to our family's interests and preferences. We got to explore lush rainforests, relax on beautiful beaches, and even had thrilling adventures like zip-lining and river rafting. Every day was a new adventure, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout. Overall, our family custom trip with Baboo Guides to Costa Rica was an absolute dream come true. We can't thank them enough for their expertise, hospitality, and the fantastic adventure they created for us.

Highly recommendable I recently had the most amazing family trip to South Africa, all thanks to Baboo Travel. From the moment we started planning our adventure, to the very last day of our journey, everything was simply exceptional. One of the highlights of our trip was our visit to Soweto, where we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture and experiences. It was a unique and eye-opening experience to connect with the vibrant communities of Soweto. We explored the bustling streets, interacted with locals, and got a taste of the authentic South African way of life. This was an experience we couldn't have arranged on our own, and it added a rich layer to our trip that we will never forget. The safaris we embarked on were also beyond our wildest dreams. Baboo Travel took us off the beaten path to spots that were not overcrowded with tourists. We encountered incredible wildlife in their natural habitats, including the Big Five. The thrill of seeing lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes in their natural environment was truly breathtaking. These off-the-beaten-path safaris provided us with an intimate and awe-inspiring connection with the African wilderness. One of the key reasons our trip was so fantastic was our local expert, Carla. She was a true gem. Carla's in-depth knowledge of South Africa and her personal recommendations made our trip extraordinary. She knew all the hidden gems, the best places to eat, and the most enriching experiences. Carla's expertise allowed us to do things we wouldn't have even known about if we had planned the trip on our own. Booking through Baboo Travel was a breeze. The platform was user-friendly, and the entire booking process was fast and efficient, saving us a lot of time. It allowed us to focus on the excitement of the trip rather than the hassles of planning. Overall, I can't stress enough how amazing our experience with Baboo Travel in South Africa was. From the local experiences in Soweto to the off-the-beaten-path safaris and the exceptional guidance from Carla, everything exceeded our expectations. We had an unforgettable adventure, and I wouldn't hesitate to choose Baboo Travel for future journeys anywhere in the world. There is simply no better way to travel. Thank you, Baboo Travel, for making our South African adventure a trip of a lifetime!
