We came to RB Collection with an idea of some of the places we wanted to visit in Rajasthan, India - and they made it all happen, expertly and efficiently. Oliver and Clare were a pleasure to deal with, sorting every aspect and adding their own ideas to really enhance this wonderful trip. They checked in while we were away to make sure everything was going well (which it was) and I knew they'd be on hand if we needed anything. Thank you!

The purpose of this review isn't to confirm that our holiday was a 5 star experience (which it was, by the way) but it's a review to say that RB Collection's involvement in planning, booking and safety netting our holiday experiences has been truly 5 stars.
Are people bothered if my wife and I had a great holiday - I suspect no......
Are people interested in the company that was instrumental in creating 5 star holidays - I suspect yes
......and so it's RB Collection's skills and involvement that get this 5 star rating.
As a family we have booked our own holidays almost exclusively by ourselves for 35 years - until a year ago when we used RB Collection's services for the first time to book a holiday to the Ice Hotel in Sweden. We chose to book through them because we had no experience or knowledge of the Ice Hotel and their exclusive Ice Hotel Website was great.
Their involvement made all the difference - in particular their personal commitment to making things work and since the first contact, they have been getting to know our travel "needs, wants and likes" more by each contact.
Our next holiday was a Silversea Cruise - one that we could easily have booked ourselves, but RB's influence allowed us to save a significant (4 figure!) sum. Reason alone to recommend!
Our third and most recent booking with RB was a safari which could not have been a better holiday experience.
The reasons for this are as follows:
1. Up until raising the possibility, I knew nothing about safaris i.e. where to go / at what time of year / for how long etc. Within 72 hours of a discussion of a suggestion by me for a Tanzania trip (based on a google AI search), I was infinitely far better informed and after weighing up possibilities, we opted for a Kenyan trip to Amboselli and the Masai Mara. What a brilliant decision!
2. Whilst the travel options were perfect for our particular needs, RB's involvement to seamlessly arrange the multiple transfers on our journey came to the fore. This was particularly evident on coming back from Zanzibar (beach unwind) to Nairobi International, which would have presented a significant challenge had we opted for self booking, due to the (multiple) security & immigration stages. (Yes, of course - we would have negotiated the stages - we're grown ups - we can look after ourselves, but oh my. the loss of wasted heartbeats would have been significant!)
Turns out that what was arranged for us was faster than "fast track" and I certainly became aware of lots of people looking enviously towards us and our safari representative as we whizzed by!
3. Photography is an important aspect of our holidays. Good photographic subjects / scenes are our means of ensuring that we're seeing good stuff, which - IMHO - is a main focus of a holiday. Our safari guides had been well briefed about my photography wishes and from the get-go, they discussed what we were looking for from our holiday and so every day we had a mutually planned itinerary for the wildlife that never disappointed. Our guides had been particularly selected from the briefing given by RB pre-travel to the safari people.
In a nutshell, RB have changed our attitude to holidays and their associated experiences. In our time with them, we have undertaken holidays that we have never done before and we are now definitely thinking differently about what to do in the future.
Add to this, the reassurance and safety net that travel agency
booking confers and I think that RB Collection definitely deserves a 5 star review.
By the way - we live distant to their location - all of our dealings have been by telephone and email so don't think you need to be locals to use their services.

We have used RB several times now and never been disappointed. This we considered our biggest adventure yet - 20 days in India. We covered a large amount of the country including 'The Golden Triangle', Amritsar, Tiger Reserve, Houseboat and finally a few days relaxing on the beach in Kerala. We traveled as a group of 4 and our trip included 4 internal flights, 3 train journeys and our own 'traveller minibus'.
At each step of our journey we were met by someone personally, and each time we moved on there was always someone to make sure we were in the right place at the right time.
The guides were excellent and the handpicked accommodation was of very high quality.
We loved it and had a superb time. Thank you to all at RB who made it all so easy and enjoyable for us.

It's been 3 weeks since we returned from our awesome New Zealand adventure, and we haven't stopped talking about it yet!
We can't thank Sam and the RB team enough for all their meticulous planning and unexpected thoughtful touches that made our trip truly unforgettable.
Every detail is taken care of, all you have to do is enjoy the...
Sky diving, whale watching, wine tasting, Hobbit hunting, thermal springs, Mauri feasts, Christmas day swims, lakes, mountains, boat trips, scenic plane rides, trains, trams, helicopters onto glaciers, and a super comfy hire car. I think we just about did it all! RB are much than a travel agent, they help you to make fabulous memories 🥂 here's to the next adventure.

I would like to thank RB collection for arranging a fantastic holiday in Australia, this included flights, hotels, all of which were perfect, excursions, and car hire which enabled us to explore the east coast from Sydney to Brisbane. We felt that RB was on hand should we have a problem which ment that we could relax and fully appreciate Australia. I would happily recommend RB as we felt we received first class service and support.

Well priced,superbly planned by RB Travel,our flight to Nice and private car to Monte Carlo brought us to our cruise ship the Siver Spirit.
Having travelled with Silver Seas before we knew what to expect….quality service throughout.
Excellent food,entertainment and comfortable suites secured by Nathan ensured a wonderful 12 day break.
Trips to spectacular coastal resorts,approaches by sea to so many memorable land marks and superb guides meant that the cruise will live long in our memories.
Monaco,Sardinia,Sicily,Malta,Montenegro,Croatia and Slovenia provided wonderful tasters of what the countries have to offer.
The weather was brilliant throughout..RB travel even provided that!
Thank you Nathan for ensuring we got the voyage we wanted,Sam for taking us through all the travel arrangements so simply and professionally and Clare for putting all the paperwork together.
R B Travel come up trumps again!

'We have recently returned from a special trip to Italy to see Andrea Bocelli in Lajatico. Kayleigh organised everything, through a series of phone calls and emails - and it all worked perfectly. We had had a longer trip perfectly planned by Oliver and the team a couple of years ago that had to be cancelled at very short notice due to family bereavement, this was our third attempt to get there. Kayleigh worked extremely hard to find us the ( elusive ) executive tickets we wanted , along with flights from our area and the right hotel and the room with a view. All the transfers worked like clockwork , with Angelo the driver for the concert deserving particular mention - he was wonderful and looked after us so well. A massive thankyou to Kayleigh for working out the perfect package for us, with patience, understanding and in a professional and friendly manner . Tuscany was everything we thought it would be, and more - stunning scenery and peaceful. To see Andrea Bocelli outdoors in the Tuscan countryside was magical, and the hotel Borgo Pignano was truly amazing. There’s so much to love about this place ( too much to write about !) , its location , stunning scenery, the beautiful house and buildings, the vineyards, the first class food. Too many little touches and details to list ! Gigi’s tour of the estate was very much appreciated and fabulous , his passion for the place, the land, the animals, and all the food grown and produced here is very special. World class service from every staff member we encountered without being over bearing. The people that work here are a special power. The lovely lady who runs the bar said she was proud to work here and you can tell , and see exactly why. If you are thinking about a special holiday I can highly recommend the trip, the hotel, the event and of course RB collection . We are normal people who wanted a special once in a lifetime trip and the whole experience exceeded all my expectations . Needless to say, I’m now hoping to go back soon !'

We had a fabulous family holiday to Canada. Kayleigh was amazing helping us with an itinerary that factored in some very specific stops! The trip flowed perfectly starting in the East, flying over to the West then taking the Rocky Mountaineer to Banff. The wildlife sightings and scenery throughout the whole trip were just incredible. Bears, bald eagles, whales and sea otters were the wildlife highlights. RB Collection were great to partner with, incredible customer service helping us achieve a very special family holiday full of incredible memories.
