Marrakech Riad Weekend by Ali G, 1 Dec 2016
Holiday Rating:

A wonderful tailored short break to Morocco

We had only three nights available but were able to pack in a two night stay in the Atlas Mountains at the wonderful Douar Samra followed by a night of luxury in Marrakesh at Riad Adore. Douar Samra was recommended by our operator Fleewinter and was a great taste of Berber life. The hotel itself is comfortable, the staff are welcoming and the food is delicious, while the setting is simply stunning. The hotel arranged a guide for us to take a ...

We had only three nights available but were able to pack in a two night stay in the Atlas Mountains at the wonderful Douar Samra followed by a night of luxury in Marrakesh at Riad Adore. Douar Samra was recommended by our operator Fleewinter and was a great taste of Berber life. The hotel itself is comfortable, the staff are welcoming and the food is delicious, while the setting is simply stunning. The hotel arranged a guide for us to take a trek to the waterfalls, hard work but worth it. Riad Adore in the Medina for our final night was a beautiful luxurious riad with super helpful staff. A really excellent trip.

Fleewinter is very knowledgeable about Morocco and tailor their trips to your exact requirements. We have used them several times and always found their recommendations excellent and their organisation superb. They know the hotels and riads they work with very well and are able to make recommendations to meet any individual needs. Internal travel in Morocco is always a bit challenging but Fleewinter arrange for cars and drivers that are always safe, efficient, prompt and polite. I cannot recommend Fleewinter highly enough, they are always our first choice for this type of trip.

Vietnam - an explosion of colour, taste and exciting family adventures

Family of 5 had an amazing holiday in Vietnam, visiting the cultural and historical sites of Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, spending a week in beautiful Hoi An and Danang and then heading to the buzz of Ho Chi Minh city. One in a lifetime trip!

Stunning

Our first visit to Indonesia Fantastic service from flee winter and hotels matched description on web. Glee winter very responsive, even when we were booking hotels with 24 hours notice. The time difference rarely mattered.

Morocco - Marrakech, Atlas Mountains & Kaouki beach!

Fleewinter were very helpful in organising a family trip to Morocco with our 3 young daughters. We arranged our own flights with BA. They arranged all our accommodation and transfers. All accom was absolutely fine. Rebali Riads by the beach of Kaouki. The villas had pools (albeit freezing in October) but were perfect albeit an odd area. We had a great day with the chef shopping in the souks, who then taught us various dishes which we ate for ...

Fleewinter were very helpful in organising a family trip to Morocco with our 3 young daughters. We arranged our own flights with BA. They arranged all our accommodation and transfers. All accom was absolutely fine. Rebali Riads by the beach of Kaouki. The villas had pools (albeit freezing in October) but were perfect albeit an odd area. We had a great day with the chef shopping in the souks, who then taught us various dishes which we ate for our dinner. Fab & the children loved it! We quad biked to the waterfalls (2hrs), hired horses across the beach and camel rides to local fabulous restaurant La Mouette. We ate in every night bar one (Caravane in Essouira - fab a must). We spend 5 full days at Kaouki. In Marrakech we had 2 nights at Riad Hikaya - owner John very helpful. Riad arranged a guide to show us the main sights and souk etc which was perfect as knew nothing of area - engaged children well. Caleche (horse carriage) fabulous and took in different districts of Marrakech. We all enjoyed the perfectly warm 'indoor' pool at the Riad!! On 3rd day driver took us to Atlas Mountains and Bab Ourika Kasbah - huge room for the 5 of us will ample of space. Gorgeous setting, views and gardens but food and drink seriously overpriced. Again, a freezing outdoor pool!! Had a guide for the day to explore Berber markets and gardens etc.

Rating for tour operator:

Fleewinter were very helpful in arranging everything at relatively short notice. All went very smoothly. I should have asked about dinner/lunch prices at Kasbah as there was nowhere else to eat so prices were high. £30 each for BBQ lunch where we had a sausage and couscous. Cheapest wine also £30. Orange juice glass £5.

A breathtaking and exciting cultural experience full of surpises.

The people of Myanmar were so friendly and accommodating. We were amazed how resourceful and artistic they are. Nothing seems to be wasted; we could learn a thing or two from their ingenuity. I cannot think of anything I would like to have changed. A wonderful choice, and not crowded by too many other tourists as yet, although it was low season. Excellent!

Delia at Fleewinter really took on board all our concerns and interests. All our flights, transfers and most of our hotels were excellent. The first time we have had a tailor made trip and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Sri Lanka Classic Tour by Eleanor, 30 Aug 2016

Culture, wildlife and beach

We spent 2 weeks in Sri Lanka with our two young children and had a great time. We had a nice mix of culture (Sigiriya, Dambulla, Galle), wildlife (crocodiles, elephants, turtles) and beach. Our driver was really helpful and friendly. There are lots of places in Asia we would like to visit but we would seriously consider a return trip here in a couple of years.

Fleewinter responded quickly to all our emails and have a useful website. Our accommodation was lovely and transport perfectly organised. They also provided an app for our phones with the itinerary, hotel information, destination information and basic maps so we could track our location when offline. We would use them again.

once in a lifetime family safari adventure

We had a tailormade holiday to Tanzania and Zanzibar. We saw more animals than we dreamt was possible. We enjoyed the lovely friendly people in the welcoming and peaceful Tanzania. We listened to Lions roaring as we headed to bed in tents, and saw giraffes wandering near camp in the morning. We experienced happy and beautiful Africa in a way that we felt did not exploit the local people or environment. We walked on pure white sand and bathed ...

We listened to Lions roaring as we headed to bed in tents, and saw giraffes wandering near camp in the morning. We experienced happy and beautiful Africa in a way that we felt did not exploit the local people or environment. We walked on pure white sand and bathed in clear blue seas.

This is the second trip we have taken with Fleewinter. They know their stuff and can put together a tailormade holiday to suit your budget and requirements. It was great to speak to African experts who knew the details about accommodation, flights and safaris.

An idyllic sailing experience

My first sailing experience and I totally fell in love with it. A different view throughout the day so one could very happily spend the day on the deck and never be bored. The children were captivated from morning to night without the need for a screen, if not looking at the stunning scenery then they were busy with watersports. Sumptuous meals were provided by chef Pippa and I have never eaten in such romantic surroundings. We can't wait ...

Rating for tour operator:

Fleewinter went out of their way to provide us with a bespoke, personalised holiday that fitted all our objectives. The crew on board went far beyond my expectations. It is a real skill to find a couple who can make guests feel so at ease and live so easily alongside a family in a fairly small space. The food, the sailing and the entertainment of the children was all 5 star.

Thanks for your lovely comments. The idea of our Luxury sailing programme is to bring the joys of the Greek islands to people who haven't sailed much and great to hear it worked out.
