Amazing trip to Dubai
Reviewed By Hugh London - LONDON UK | Traveled to Dubai ~ United Arab Emirates ~ Middle East
I had the most remarkable trip to Dubai with C & G Global Connections Travel and Travel partners. Dubai surpassed my expectation with beautiful scenery, exceptional customer service, delicious food as well as the caring staff in the hotel we were staying. Learning about the history of United Araba Emirates from our knowledgeable tour operators really helped us understand the rich history of the seven emirates.
Each place we visited was much grander than the next with our schedules taking us on boat ride down the Marina, Safari with Camels and Dune buggy rides, to going up the Burj Khalifia and visiting the Mosque In Abu Dhabi. It was all a trip one could hope for and a strong inducement to do another C & G Global Connections Travel adventure very soon.

Trip was wonderful in spite of poor leadership
Reviewed By Raven52 - Maryland | Traveled to United Arab Emirates ~ Middle East
She was very disorganized and every excursion left late. She also left half of her group at the border to Abu Dhabi and went on without us, with no guarantee that alternative activities were available when she made the decision.
Cleopatra Islar responded
"It is unfortunate that this traveler omitted the fact that the (PANDEMIC) decisions that were made for one bus to go through the border were made by the Border Authorities. Fortunately, the bus that was denied was allowed to cross the border into Abu Dhabi the very next day. ALL Travel Partners received what was promised, resulting in everyone taking advantage of the full, organized, scheduled itinerary and no Travel Partner had more privileges than another.
Thank you for your review.

Ms. Islar responded promptly to all of my questions. I never had to wait for an unreasonable amount of time to get feedback. She even responded to me when she was out of the country. You will enjoy your experience with her.
She worked within our budget and created a great experience in both London and Paris. Both hotels allowed us to be in the center of the key tourist places and activities. In London, we were across the street from Piccadilly Circus. We walked out of our hotel, and across the road it was fabulous. Additionally, the hotel's central location to all the tourist attractions allowed us to walk everywhere.
In Paris, our hotel was between the Eiffel Tower, Arc De Triumph, and Champ Elysee. We were able to walk downstairs in our hotel and look to the left to see the lighting of the Eiffel tower. A great trip experience.

Reviewed By Mr. LJ - Washington, DC | Traveled to Luanada | Angola | Africa
I recently used C&G Global Connections Travel to book my flight and hotel for a trip to Luanda, Angola, and I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. From the very beginning, they were attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail of my trip was handled with care.
The booking process was seamless clear communication, quick turnaround, and thoughtful options that matched exactly what I needed. My flights were perfectly coordinated, and the hotel they secured for me in Luanda was top-tier: safe, comfortable, and well-located.
Traveling internationally can be stressful, but C&G made it feel effortless. Their professionalism, reliability, and personal touch truly set them apart. If you’re planning a trip, whether close to home or across the world, this is the team you want in your corner.

Reviewed By Island Adventure - Brooklyn,NY | Traveled to Mauritius | Africa
Trip Review: Mauritius
Date of Trip: April 2025
I recently had the opportunity to visit the stunning island of Mauritius, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the natural beauty of this tropical paradise.
Accommodation:
I stayed at a beautiful resort offering breathtaking views of the crystal-clear waters and pristine sandy beaches. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that my stay was comfortable and luxurious.
Activities:
During my time in Mauritius, I had the chance to explore the island and participate in various activities. From boat rides in the turquoise waters to hiking through lush rainforests, there was never a dull moment. One of the highlights was visiting the Seven Colored Earths in Chamarel, a unique geological formation unlike anything I had ever seen before.
Local Cuisine:
The local cuisine in Mauritius is a delicious fusion of flavors influenced by Indian, Chinese, African, and European cuisines.
Cleopatra Islar responded
"Thank you for sharing such a picturesque description of your Mauritius vacation. It is always such a joy when my clients return from the vacations I organised for them with great memories and stories to tell.

An awe-inspiring cultural and culinary experience
Reviewed By Tracy - Paris, France | Traveled to Singapore | East and Southeast Asia
I couldn't imagine visiting 6 countries in Asia in 12 days but alas, Cleo, aka my Mum, made it happen. The attention to detail from when I booked the trip, to planning our various tourist excursions and being in the company of 60 other people with the same thirst for adventure - each an every moment was executed successfully and always with care and thoughtfulness. We started off in Singapore, working our way to Vietname, Hong Kong and Jeju Island but I especially loved our time in Taipei and Tokyo. These cities are world's apart when it comes to modernity but they captured my heart and attention in ways that were surprising and meaningful. I would definitely recommend my Mum for any of your travel experiences. Working with someone that truly cares for your well-being not only in the planning but the happening stages of your trip is a priceless and rare service.

Working with Ms. Cleo was such a wonderful experience! She was not only a true professional, she put such a caring touch into every detail of my trip. like only she could. During the planning process, I found her suggestions so helpful and her global perspective makes her such an asset to have on your team. As we approached document and payment benchmarks, Ms. Cleo kindly answered all questions and nudged me anytime I needed reminders.
Even in the face of some personal adversity, she kept my needs in mind; I always felt like a priority.
As my itinerary unfolded, Ms. Cleo was thorough and was excellent at anticipating my needs on each leg of my journey. Since I was traveling alone, she thought of details I would've surely missed. From Marrakech to Paris, I felt supported thousands of miles away as her check-in texts always reminded me that she was available to help. Ms. Cleo is 5 stars, 2 thumbs, and 10s across the board and I look forward to booking my adventure with her!

European Honeymoon for my son
Reviewed By MFW - Maryland | Traveled to
Cleo was wonderful in helping to plan my son's honeymoon. I gifted he and his bride a trip to Paris and Rome. Cleo was flexible as I had many requirements and made many changes to the itinerary! She was always professional, kind and caring in her approach. My son and my new daughter-in-law had a fantastic time and we are all grateful that we entrusted Cleo to handle the arrangements.

Happy Family
Reviewed By Jane - Clarksville, MD | Traveled to South America
Cleo has not let my family down for over 5 years. She is professional and always on point in creating perfect tour packages for our family with 2 teens! Our current trip to South America (Brazil, Uruguay & Argentina) with the focus on Brazil to celebrate my husband's birthday, created lasting fun memories for all of us. The Brazil tour package Cleo put together allowed us to experience their culture, traditions, history, tasted local cuisines with one of a kind tour guide! Our private tour was hassle-free and with VIP treatment the entire time! Looking forward to planning for our next adventure with you!!! Thank you!

A Family Reunion to Remember!
Reviewed By Gloria - Waldorf, MD | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Ms. Islar was very helpful and primarily responsible for the selection of the cruise our family took that proved to be the best quality and most economical. Ms. Islar personally assisted each family member through the reservation process, coordinated and processed incremental payments, and kept my family abreast of the options and added features the cruise line provided. Her guidance made the whole process painless and overall enjoyable. I would definitely use her services again for any future cruises and/or non-cruise vacations.

Exceptional vacation trip from start to finish!
Reviewed By JG Family - Washington, DC | Traveled to Montego Bay ~ Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We are a family traveling with the three T’s—toddler, teen-ager, and twenty-something adult. Cleopatra Islar worked with us and came up with the perfect trip to meet everyone’s needs. She offered excellent suggestions for travel destinations and ensured we had superb accommodations and travel arrangements to Jamaica including a special surprise for our wedding anniversary. This was our first experience utilizing a travel agent for our family vacation and we were truly impressed. Ms. Islar is extremely prompt, courteous, and readily available if you have any questions or concerns. We have already asked her to start planning our trip to Barbados for next year. It is reassuring to know that we need look no further than Ms. Islar for all our future travel plans.

Relaxation and fun for the whole family!
Reviewed By Have Kid, Will Travel - Washington, DC | Traveled to Playa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Cleopatra is well organized and responds to questions and requests in an incredibly timely manner. I have some flying anxiety and prefer to fly non-stop flights only, and Cleopatra was able to find us a non-stop flight that didn't appear on any of the regular search-engines. A wonderful experience all around and would definitely make use of her expertise for future travel plans.
