Quintessentially Travel  Recenzje 

Sam Mullen and her amazing team! An unforgettable 40th birthday! ❤️

Well, where do I even start?!

Paul and I have just returned from the most incredible 16 days in South Africa celebrating my 40th, and WOW! What a trip!

A massive thank you to the fabulous Sam Mullen and her brilliant team at Quintessentially Travel for making it all happen.

From the beginning, Sam just got us. I wanted luxury, adventure, amazing hotels, incredible food, plenty of wine and something really special for my 40th. Basically, I wanted everything 😂

And my goodness, did they deliver!

We started in Johannesburg at The Peech, followed by four magical nights on safari at andBeyond Ngala, including an unforgettable night sleeping under the African stars in the Ngala Treehouse. Honestly, pinch-me moments!

Then came beautiful Franschhoek, staying at The Last Word, exploring the vineyards, enjoying fabulous restaurants and even a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Winelands.

We finished in Cape Town at the stunning Atzaró, with Table Mountain, Robben Island, gorgeous beaches, rooftop cocktails and some seriously amazing food. Every part of the trip was just incredible!

But what really made this holiday special was the people behind it.

Sam is an absolute diamond. Funny, warm, knowledgeable, honest and genuinely lovely. I'm not the easiest person to organise a holiday for. I ask a million questions, change my mind and usually add another ten things to the itinerary 😂 But nothing was ever too much trouble.

She really listened, helped us get the most from our budget and went above and beyond to make everything perfect.

A huge shout-out to Francesca, the wider Quintessentially Travel team and their fantastic partners at andBeyond too. From the planning and hotel arrangements to the internal flights, transfers and brilliant WhatsApp concierge support, everything was so well coordinated.

It's easy to forget how much work goes on behind the scenes, but the attention to detail was fantastic. We felt genuinely looked after from beginning to end.

And that's what makes Quintessentially Travel so special. Yes, the hotels and experiences were amazing, but it's the personal service, warmth and genuine care that really sets them apart.

Sam, thank you SO much for the patience, the laughs, the endless emails and for making my 40th everything I'd hoped for and more.

You've helped create memories that Paul and I will treasure forever.

We honestly couldn't recommend Sam and the entire team highly enough. Absolute superstars, every single one of them!

Now, where are you sending us next?! 😂❤️

Lots of love,

Paul & Kayle ❤️❤️❤️

We’ve used Quintessentially Travel to book our family holiday to Portugal for the last five years, and the service has been consistently excellent. Gabs, our travel agent, is organised, professional and incredibly responsive. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and he always makes the whole booking process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Quintessentially Travel, especially Gabs, for anyone looking for outstanding personal service.

Sam at Quintessentially Travel helped us curate the most beautiful trip for our Greek Island honeymoon. With the many moving parts of multiple destinations, and sometimes limited transfer options from island to island, she created an itinerary that delivered everything and more than we could have hoped for. From luxury to laid back, every box was ticked.
When QT had been responsible for booking the accommodation, the care and service at each establishment was second to none, with welcoming congratulations messages and complimentary bubbles to help us celebrate at every stop.
Even when Lex and I had booked a couple of 'off piste' options ourselves along the way, Sam and her team made sure all the i's were dotted and t's crossed, and our entire trip went seamlessly from one location to the next. A wonderful experience, and we hope to travel with QT again very soon.

We have used Quintessentially Travel for several trips and every experience has been outstanding. They genuinely care about making each holiday special and always take the time to understand exactly what we’re looking for.
Their knowledge, attention to detail and personal service are second to none. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure every part of our trip is perfect.
They are very professional, responsive and passionate about what they do. They take all the stress out of planning and have created some truly unforgettable holidays for us.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Quintessentially Travel to anyone looking for exceptional, luxury travel with a genuinely personal touch. Five stars isn’t enough!

Quintessentially Travel is easily the best travel agent I have ever used. We have been using them for the last three years and every trip has been meticulously planned and the recommendations always excellent. Only once did we have a bad experience but that was because the hotel we were supposed to go to had not finished their renovations and the hotel booked us into their sister hotel. It was awful but Quintessentially were so annoyed that the hotel had done this, they got us every penny of what we spent on the holiday refunded to us. Quite incredible. Their care and service is amazing. I highly recommend them.

We booked a trip to Palma and Quintessentially (and Jamie in particular)was so thoughtful. Entered my room to a bottle of champagne, some treats and a wonderful hand written ... it's the little things that make all the difference. Quintessentially made it so smooth.

Jamie H was amazing at helping us figure out our travel plans! We had never been to this destination before and needed a lot of help with figuring out where to stay - he is so proactive, he gave us a bunch of great options and was so responsive and helpful about adjusting to our budget and various requests. He also managed to help us negotiate a great price and some great perks with the hotel during peak season!

Quintessentially provides an unparalleled experience, and I cannot recommend them enough. Gabs Russo truly listens to our requirements and expertly curates bespoke itineraries for us. Their meticulous attention to detail, efficient communication, and tailored recommendations ensure our business trips are executed with the highest level of professionalism.

I've used Jamie for several trips and the service has always been superlative! Couldn't recommend him (and them) highly enough.

Sam made our baby moon in Lake Garda a fairytale! The hotel room was glorious and the little touches really made our trip!

Fantastic team to work with at Quintessentially - everything is smooth and comms are clear.
I have booked accommodation in Europe using the team there and they have found some of the best hotels and rooms for me :)
Thank you Izzy

Quintessentially Travel have been exceptional in helping us find and plan our upcoming cruise. Their recommendations were thoughtful, well-considered, and perfectly aligned to what we were looking for.
We’re absolutely delighted with the experience they’ve curated for us and genuinely can’t wait to try it. The level of service and attention to detail has been outstanding from start to finish - highly recommended.

We have used Quintessentially and Samantha Mullen for many trip and holidays over the last 6 years. All the trips have been beautifully organised - our requirements met and lots of input and suggestions to make the trip more interesting, varied and memorable. We have been to Iceland, Norway, Jordan, South America, Morocco and other interesting and unusual destinations. There has NEVER been any problems - Quintessentially ensure everything runs smoothly and we are always greeted with a note and a gift and are frequently upgraded as clients of their company.

Our family holidays are a joy to plan with Sam and her expert team. Every aspect is thought about, carefully curated & effortlessly handled. Personalised touches, un-googleable recommendations, & all through a luxury lens. Knowing her team are on hand for any minor bumps whilst we're away means we can all fully relax and be swept along with the holiday vibes. Can't recommend them more highly.
