Butterfield & Robinson Reviews 

Great guides with fun facts and stories about their ireland. Made you forget the weather. Countryside varied frim bogs to seaside beaches and cliffs. All beautiful and spectacular

We cannot say enough about our guide. Finding activities that appeal and are appropriate for a family traveling with someone as young as 10 and someone as mature as 75 is no small feat. Everyone loved the variety and John was so accommodating and flexible.

Our guides with Butterfield & Robinson went out of their way to make our every wish come true and anticipated our needs at every turn of our journey. It was a wonderful adventure and we are hoping to take another trip with them in 2020.

Spectacular experience! Engaged guides, well curated ride routes, wine tastings, meals, and events in Special hotels and venues. An incredible way to experience a regions culture and history.

My husband and I just got back from our first B&R trip and we are already planning our next one! We are hooked. We loved our guides, Laura, Sjoerd and Mario. They made the trip for us. Everything was taken care of and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment. The bikes were great, the routes were stunning and the planned stops were such a treat. We loved getting to know new people as well as spend quality time with one another and in nature, along the beautiful Rhine River. Everything exceeded our expectations and we are customers for life.

This was my first B&R trip and it was amazing. The friendly and helpful guides, Roberto and Rafael, had in depth knowledge of the region, its history, food and wine. The accommodations and meals were as extraordinary as the scenery. You won't find lunch spots like this on your own! Some of the hills were more challenging than I expected but I liked that. If you're not confident in your abilities you might want an e-bike on this route. If you don't want to use an e-bike and normally ride a hybrid, consider getting a road bike because the lower weight will help you on the hills. We had a good group and the route was designed so that those who didn't want to ride as much could stop at lunch while others continued cycling. This balance worked well and accommodated all types of cyclists. Now I just want to go back and walk the Camino!

B&R took care of every detail of our cycling tour of Burgundy and when something wasn't included...such as flights or additional meals, they had excellent suggestions or advice. The accommodation, meals, tours and cycling equipment were top notch. The trip is expensive but if you want a no worry, everything taken care of luxury vacation, you won't be disappointed.

I have now been on 3 B&R trips (two bike and one walk). They do a great job making the trip fun for all levels of activity. The hard core get their experiences and those of us who want activity but not too much challenge also are able to have a nice time (without hindering others). The guides have always been knowledgeable and extremely attentive. While the food and drink are incredible, the exercise has (mostly) offset the weight gain that often results from travel. I highly recommend B&R for those who want body and brain stimulation.

Our bespoke trip in Japan was one of the most magnificent and memorable trips we will ever take. Our guide (Takuya Kodama) had such an incredible depth of knowledge and such personal charm and charisma, that he was a true ambassador both for Japan and for B&R. He made very moment fun and wonderful. The trip was a perfect mix of great cycling, superlative food and sake, beautiful countryside, spa experiences, and Japanese history and culture. We loved it and would recommend it to couples and groups who want a fine experience.

Had the most wonderful experience on our first B&R trip. Our guide was beyond amazing. We stayed at gorgeous hotels, ate delicious local cuisine, and drank the best wine. Oh wait... this was a walking tour. Yes, the trip on the camino was beautiful! The scenery was amazing. B&R is top notch and I can't wait to book another trip with them!

Wonderful experience traveling with B&R to Japan Walking Tour.
Everything was perfect,
Special thanks to our gentle guides Naomi and Alex.

Their trip planners know the areas and all the guides have been awesome.

Had a wonderful time! My 79 year old husband was so pleased to be biking in Morocco and e-bikes made it possible . . . the guides had our backs!

They made great local connections in addition to providing great service

We had a wonderful trip to Vietnam with an excellent guide. The hotels we stayed at were first class, including the Metropole in Hanoi. The overall experience was both very educational and very enjoyable. The bike rides were a great way to see parts of the country that we otherwise never would have experienced.

We have done two trips with B&R one a biking trip and the other a walking trip. Great experiences with both.

Annalise of Butterfield and Robinson planned an outstanding two week trip of Australia for us. After a short phone call to determine what we wanted from our travels, she put together an incredible itinerary that cover various areas of Australia. The accommodations were fantastic and the food incredible. But what made the most of the trip were the people we came in contact with through B&R. Our drivers, guides and staff were top notch and went above and beyond to meet our expectations. We plan on scheduling our future tours with them.

We just returned from an outstanding 5 days at Kirkmann's Kamp in South Africa. Michele Harvey did an outstanding job of organizing and advising us on the perfect short safari experience for my Grandchildren and I. It was the 'trip of a lifetime' but we all want to return again soon!

B&R trip planner for New Zealand , Rob Grieve, did an amazing job creating a three week immersion in luxury and nature for my husband and I, my sister and brother-in-law. We had many new and inspiring experiences and were stunned over and over by the natural beauty of New Zealand.Every day was filled with hiking , exploring rivers , lakes ,mountains, fiords , beaches and birds, - learning about New Zealand history ,culture and arts - and every 3 nights we moved to another beautiful lodge with a magnificent view and delicious food.
A smooth trip with every detail thought out, but always with flexible options available due weather, or our whims.

B&R provides an amazing, immersive experience to see the world in an intimate way. We have had four biking trip with B&R, each different and stand alone memories, but the base experience also remains uniquely B&R. On our travels, we have also met folks who have taken 10, 15, & 20 trips, including one who had done over 50! Clearly, with that discrimating audience, they are doing something right.
