Reviewed By Robyn - Maryland | Traveled to
It was a great pleasure working with Royal Expressions Travel. From my initial inquiry, I was provided exceptional customer service! All of my requests were fully addressed because they were knowledgeable about my destination, as well as able to provide options I hadn't even considered. Even with all of the juggling necessary with group travel arrangements, they were phenomenal. I was so impressed with this company that I returned for repeat service multiple times. I can confidently say that this company is honest and professional. I'd definitely use them again and AGAIN!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Reviewed By S.B - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Egypt ~ Africa
"I just returned from my dream trip of a lifetime! It was made possible by this amazing travel team! I traveled to Egypt and I visited Cairo Aswan and City of Luxor. I was able to realize my dream of touching the Pyramids! I visited sacred tombs and amazing museums. Then I traveled to Dubai. There I was wrapped in luxury at the Ritz Carlton. I was swept away on several mini adventures while I traveled. I took a 3 day cruise , a dessert Safari, and tours of the great cities abroad. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing this travel agency is they took care of every need that I could think of you before I even knew I needed it. Lanell and her team has the most amazing connections around the world I can say, firsthand ,there was not a time that I was not taken care of properly and if there was any issue it was resolved immediately I fully and wholeheartedly recommend this group to anyone and I will be using them again very soon as I complete my travel goals."

South African Experience
LaDell did it again this was my second group trip with Royal Expression Travels first was island-hopping thru Croatia on a private yacht and that was an amazing experience that I didn't think could be topped but then came South Africa... oh man this was an experience for the ages. From having humbling cultural tours in Soweto Johannesburg to having luxury excursions with private helicopter transfers and horseback riding thru Cape Winelands and not to mention the hotel accommodations OMG private villas, personal chefs The Works! My absolute fav was staying at Nelson Mandela's Private Villa at Shambala in Johannesburg... this was luxury to another level. Our private butlers made sure they was absolutely nothing we could want for.. they anticipated our needs and fulfilled them much better than we could even imagine. Listen this was the best trip I've ever had and it was all curate and managed by none other than LaDell. Her attention to details is top notch she even arranged hotel upgrade

The Best Vacation Yet
I assembled a domestic vacation for a client and his family for spring break in March at the famed, Breakers Resort. I had private transportation whisk them off to the enchanting Breakers exclusive lounge that includes private check in along with a host of VIP benefits. Not to mention there was a special tent assembled in the guest suites to welcome their little travels. My guest were smitten with all the little touches and labeled their trip, The Best Yet"
