Swain took my requests for Tokyo less than 10 days before we arrived and provided us with a three day trouble free plan which included everything we wanted to see and more. The best part was the young lady who was our personal English speaking guide in Tokyo. She spoke perfect English, we understood every word she said, she provided us with lots of hints and tips and made sure we did not stray out into traffic, She found some wonderful Japanese dining places - authentic food which we loved! We had a car and driver as well, so were able to keep our purchases and bags in the car. Great itinerary, lovely people, hassle free visit, and we got to the ship on time!

We have used Swain Destinations for over a dozen trips to Africa, Australia/NZ and India. Never once on any of them has any single arrangement (accommodations, rides, guides, etc) ever not worked perfectly. It's hard to get better than that!

This was my first time using Swain and it was great. I had car's or buses picking me up all times of the day for airport runs, tour pick ups or returns to the airport. Everything went smooth! Hotel locations were good. I did down grade the hotels because of the trip cost and I was happy with the place that they picked.The person I worked with building the trip (Darren) was great with suggestion and trying to get as much into a day as we could handle. I would use them again.

The total agenda, scheduling, and service by Swain for our recent 5 week travel in Africa was beyond my greatest expectations. Every location was spectacular. All the travel arrangements and custom private experiences were absolutely perfect. The safari and city guides were not only extremely knowledgeable, but were so pleasant that we instantly felt like their personal friends. And, even when there were a few minor transportation delays, the Swain staff always had the situation in hand before I had a chance to alert them. The overall total service by the staff at Swain was exceptional. Everyday, our "in Africa" Swain contacts reached out to check in with us. They are the best I have ever worked with.

Always easy to work with and amazing staff!

Swain Destinations was amazing. They were on top of every detail from the minute we landed to the time we left. I would highly recommend using them for any trip to Africa, Australia or New Zealand.

Very Good company and best service and the agents very informative I would love to book my future trips with them

Amazing agents and extremely knowledgeable of your product.

Our trip that Swain Destinations planned to Africa was great from start to end. Planning was very easy and the entire trip was seamless. We were there almost three weeks and stayed in 6 different locations. We never had to worry about our next location or any logistics in moving from place to place. All internal transfers and flights were handled and everything was planned out down to the small details.

I have been dealing with Swain Destinations for over twenty years.
My clients have always been delighted with their excellent products and services. Grant St. Clair has helped me give them a wonderful holiday experience they will remember all their lives. Should they have any problems while away on their trip, the Swain 800 number
office there has solved all their needs. Potential travelers appreciate all the information in the Swain Destinations brochure I give to them.

Australian DREAM VACATION!! The Swain Destinations team took a 28 year old dream of two young kids, and turned it into a trip of a lifetime. They are a true CLASS ACT and have earned my business from here on out. They scheduled 15 days of Australia, starting in Sydney, migrating to Ayers Rock, then Cairns to Port Douglas, Brisbane and back to the US. Site seeing, hiking mountains, hugging koalas, diving the great barrier reef, dinner cruise, car service....I cant tell you how impressed I was that everyone from age 12 - 72 was included in EVERY activity - EVEN THE ZIP LINING!! GREAT JOB!

Excellent job with planning our New Zealand trip, with tailoring to our interests, attention to detail, and great follow up. There were very few glitches, and these were dealt with promptly and effectively. Kathryn, our travel advisor, was very knowledgable, conscientious, and pleasant to work with. Great job team Swain!

We loved every minute. The personal
Touch and planning is unparalleled and the accommodations chosen were divine. They work with tremendous local guides that
Bring the locales to life.

Always professional, always reliable, always there for me and for my clients. In my opinion the most knowledgeable team for Australia, New Zealand, Africa and the South Pacific.

Happy clients! Cook Islands exceptional itinerary - loved everything!

Swain Destinations made our brief trip to Australia quite memorable from expert guides, seamless and efficient planning. Everything was perfect!

Super people to work with who put together a great trip that we will always remember.

They know the best places to stay and the best things to do and the 28 day trip they put together for us included all of them. Due to weather problems our flight was a day late getting to Australia and we had a trip to look for Koloa bears that we were going to miss and Swain made arrangements for our driver to pick us up from the airport and drive us out of the city to catch up with out tour. Normal tour operations don't do this.

This is our third trip with Swain. While there were a few things we might do differently, overall this was the trip of a lifetime!
