CIRE Travel

My wife and I booked a wonderful Friday to Monday weekend getaway to Bermuda. We worked with Esther at CIRE Travel. And she was accommodating with a date change. And she gave us plenty of great recommendations for things to do. It was such a wonderful trip. The hotel was wonderful, and we had a great time!

This the second time I have had the privilege to have CIREtravel book my trip. Eric is the most caring, responsive, focussed professional with which I have had the pleasure to work. If you are lucky enough to have Eric, and his enthusiastic team, work on your planning and booking, it'll be the best travel decision you make.

I had the privilege of working with Eric and his talented team for all of my corporate travel needs. He and his team are AMAZING! I can't speak highly enough of them. They are so reliable and so responsive. Just an absolute pleasure to work with! I recently moved to a new company and am recommending CIRE's services to them.

Whenever I hear horror stories about traveling, be it for business or pleasure, I genuinely feel bad because it’s been so long since I could relate. If you’re on the fence, just do it. Everyone I’ve sent Eric’s way has wondered why it took them so long. Most recently, my husband and I booked our honeymoon through CIRE, and it was flawless. After being introduced to honeymoon-guru Katie, we had an initial meeting to discuss budget, timing, likes and dislikes. Shortly after, Katy provided several options, asking us to review and scheduling time to go over each in explicit detail. We eventually narrowed down to two itineraries, finally deciding on South Africa. In the midst of wedding planning, instead of googling “South Africa Safari” and hoping to make the right choice, the CIRE team was a much needed “sure thing” that took the burden of choosing the right experiences off our shoulders. They booked the trip and everything was handled. Our honeymoon consisted of 7 flights, 4 hotels and 10 transfers over the course of 2.5 weeks. Writing that out it sounds exhausting, but it was booked in a way that it felt like 3 vacations in one, ending off perfectly with 5 days in Mauritius - AKA paradise on earth. After all was said and done, Katy’s industry experience came through every step of the way: 1. Knowing to plan a physical activity (table mountain) for the first morning to get us acclimated quickly. 2. Knowing that staying a night in Jonesburg was the best way to break up an awkward flight time saved our sanity. 3. Letting each hotels/resort know it was our honeymoon so that we had some special surprises along the way. 4. Having an easy to use app that contained all of our travel details, even without cell service. 5. Upgrading us last minute when we could do it through the app. Even after calling the airline, nothing. We contacted Katy who then worked her magic contacting the airlines and taking care of it with no issue. 6. Knowing which Safari lodge would be perfect for us. Tintswalo, we miss you!! Also, this is totally subjective, but I always feel like we’re just treated better when we go through CIRE. There’s something about a hotel/resort seeing who booked your trip that makes them step it up just that little, tiny bit more. Maybe it’s in our heads, but who cares. It still feels just as great, either way.

Katy and Eric helped us plan our African honeymoon and we couldn't be more pleased with how the process has gone! We were admittedly intimated by the idea of planning a safari but with Katy's guidance and expertise we quickly realized that our dream honeymoon was possible and that the planning process did not have to be a daunting one. The itineraries they pulled together were incredible and expertly tailored to what we were looking for - and the final one we selected is nothing short of amazing. We couldn't have done it without CIRE and would highly recommend them to anyone else planning their honeymoon!
