Thank you for heading such a sound and trustworthy travel company. Carla has truly been a guardian angel throughout this journey, and her dedication has given me peace of mind. Going forward, I will most certainly be using you as my pilot in life, guiding me toward many more pleasurable holidays.(27 Aug 2026)
Hallo Heidi! Sjoe die tyd vlieg verby! Wil net weereens dankie sê vir ‘n heerlike vakansie 🥰🥰🥰 Alles was amazing!!! Lekker daggie!!! (26 Aug 2026)
Dear Heidi,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding holiday you organized for us. Your attention to detail was truly remarkable, especially with the selection of hotels that were conveniently located near train stations. This made our travel experience effortless and ensured we could explore with ease throughout our trip.
I also appreciate how thoughtfully you accommodated my preferences—not staying in Disneyland hotels, opting for bed only, and avoiding the Beauvaux France airport for arrivals and departures. You seamlessly integrated all these requests into the planning, which made a world of difference for me.
Your patience, support, and expertise throughout the booking process made everything so smooth and enjoyable. It was clear that you devoted genuine care to every aspect, and it absolutely showed in our wonderful experience.
With such a fantastic trip, I’ll definitely be recommending your services to friends and colleagues. Thank you again for making our holiday memorable and stress-free.
Warm regards,
(Italian Train holiday)

Hello Heidi
Just a quick report-back. We had a lovely trip to Nashville. Uneventful and crisis free. So thank you so much for all your hard work, expertise, and going the extra mile for us. The personal contact was just so much better than an automated digital affair. (05 May 2026)
Hi Heidi,
Many thanks for your prompt assistance , I will certainly recommend your services to others too. Kind regards (16 Jan 2026)
Hello Heidi. My parents are landing soon in SA. I just wanted to say how grateful and thankful we are for your personal service. In your job you certainly help others achieve amazing experiences in a life time. We are planning travel for next year to SA for us 5 and from SA maybe for grandparents. Will be in contact. Regards

Good day Heidi
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for the smooth organisation of our trip to Turkey. Thank you for the updates on changes of flight times. It was an excellent 👌 experience. We are glad that we used your traveling agency. Primero Hotel was not as good as we expected but Wyndham hotel was beyond our expectations everything was excellent.
Thanks again for your excellent service
Regards

Hi
Ek het ‘n familie vakansie vir 16 mense deur Heidi van Travel About geboek. Sy het vir ons die beste pryse gekry en presies vir wat ons gevra het. Die diens was baie goed en vinnig, die kwotasies was maklik verstaanbaar, en daar was niks ekstra kostes wat na die tyd bygekom het nie. Ek kan haar defnitief aanbeveel en sal voorentoe weer deur haar boek.
Dankie (15 April 2025)
Dear Heidi,
I hope you are well!
I just wanted to send you a great thank you for booking us such an amazing trip. We really loved Shandrani and the flights and arrangements were all perfect. We had a lovely room and over all just an amazing experience there with our 3 year-old daughter.
Thank you again for your excellent service and very friendly assistance.
We are determined to go back next year – same time, same place. So please let me know if there are any good specials running for flights and accommodation at Shandrani in the course of this year.
I have referred some friends to you for Mauritius bookings as well 😊
Very best wishes (02 May 2024)
Hello ladies,
We had a splendid time at the cruise. Thank you once more for organizing. It was a great experience for the kids.I have recommended you to a friend, I hope she will make contact soon. Regards (17 Jan 2024)

Hi Heidi
Ons is terug van ‘n absoluut onvergeetlike vakansie in Mauritius en ek wil net baie baie dankie sê vir jou reuse aandeel daarin. Alles het 100% vlot verloop en die Ravenala was die perfekte hotel vir ons familie. Dit het regtig ons almal (pensioenarisse en kleuters) se wildste verwagtinge oortref. Baie dankie vir al jou moeite en uitstekende reëlings!
(16 May 2022)
Baie dankie aan Heidi vir al die reëlings vir ons trippie na Zanzibar. Alles het so glad verloop en ons het n ongelooflike, stresvrye Wittebrood gehad. Ek kan Travel About verseker aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat n persoon nodig het om alles te reël. Al is ons van Bloemfontein en Heidi van die Kaap, was sy altyd beskibaar om ons te help. Nogmaals baie dankie vir uitstekende diens. Groete Donovan & Simoné.(22 April 2022)
Good day Heidi,
Trust that you are well.
Thank you so much for making our honeymoon special. The whole vacation was an absolute blast. (07 April 2022) (Reef and Beach resort Zanzibar)
Hallo Heidi,
Groot plesier. Ek ondersteun jou graag. Jy doen goeie werk. Min mense in ons land wat nog goeie diens lewer.
Groete (10 April 2021 – Sun City Special )
Ek en ‘n vriend sou op ‘n ‘boat cruise’ oorsee gegaan het maar a.g.v COVID was dit toe gekanselleer. Heidi Smit van TRAVEL ABOUT was so behulpsaam – met ons reisreelings en veral met die terugeis van ons geld. Die manier waarop sy dit hanteer het & te werke gegaan het, is indrukwekkend. A.g.v haar het ons maar omtrent R500 ‘verloor’ maar het al ons ander geld terug gekry: Verblyf, vliegtuig, ‘boat cruise’. Dit was ons keuse om nie ‘n ‘voucher’ te neem nie en eerder die geld terug te kry wat ons reeds betaal het.
Ek sal beslis weer van haar gebruik maak as die oorsese gogga my weer eeeeeendag byt.
(14 Nov 2020)
Dear Simone,
I just wanted to write to you to let you know that we had a fantastic time in Bali. Everything turned out perfect and more than what we expected it would be.
Thank you for helping us plan the best honeymoon trip ever. You were so helpful and went the extra mile to ensure we didn’t need to stress about anything.
We will definitely arrange another trip with you in the near future. (once recovered from all the money spending) hahah!
Thank you again.
(20 Sep 2019)
Greetings Heidi,
Hope you are well. Just some feedback, My wife and I had a wonderful time in Thailand.
What a beautiful country, the landscape is astonishing and the people is so humble.
Kata See Breeze Resort was packed with South Africans and we have met a lot of new friends during our stay. We hired a scooter and explored the entire south Thailand, Trickery museum; View point; lot of shopping etc. Patong See View Hotel; well the see view was beautiful and the breakfast was good, but the rooms was not homely, although the stay was good. Hired scooters for us and my daughter and continued to explore the south of Thailand. Visit snake show; Tiger show; Bangla Road and lots of massages. Phi-Phi island was amazing, we did a lot of snorkeling and kayaking and island hopping, what a beautiful place.Overall, the flights; transfers (Ferries and cars) and all the places we stayed was expertly planned. We never had any problems to get to any destination on time and safely.
Once again, thank you for assisting us with the bookings and planning of this wonderful vacation. May God Bless you in everything you do.
Regards
(16 July 2019)
Hi Heidi
I just want to say thanks for arranging our holiday it was amazing. We are already planning our next trip back to Zanzibar, are there any other resorts you would recommend?
(01 Jul 2019)
Hi Friends and Family. Please use Travel About for all your traveling needs. Heidi Smit is absolutely amazing when it comes to planning every detail of your trip! We just came back from traveling to Thailand for 2 weeks and I felt super VIP as everything was planned to the minute! Didn’t have to wait for anything or anywhere… making the best of every minute of our holiday. (04 Mar 2019)
Hi
We returned today from our fantastic trip on the MSC Musica. The extra 2 days were a great bonus and we actually had the most fun on those 2 days as the weather was exceptional.Thanks again for doing the booking for us and keeping us informed along the way.
I left this feedback with MSC.
I rated most of the activities a “10” not just as a default rating but an honest rating of our fantastic experience on the MSC Musica. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were super impressed with the facilities and service. The theatre shows were fantastic and Darren is a great host, although his jokes are like “dad” jokes (lol).The meals were great and the evening “fine dining” as a highlight and Vitali (from the Ukraine) was an excellent waitor. There are enough activities to occupy yourself with but we thouroughly enjoyed doing NOTHING for 7 days as we realised that we had not been on a family vacation for more than 8 years. The bonus was the extra 2 days at sea due to high wind conditions in Cape Town. Here the MSC staff excelled! Updates were given on a regular basis and I loved the daily newsletter with activities for the next day. I commend the staff for serving us for an extra 2 days and hats off to the Captain for putting our safety above keeping to a time schedule. We arrived this morning (26 Jan 2019) and I have already been telling all my friends and family about our cruise and that they must make plans to book a cruise as well. It is really value for money, compared to booking a holiday at a holiday resort. It was also very interesting to talk to total strangers and the best of all was meeting people we had not seen in many years. My wife met 4 colleagues that she had not seen in over 25 years. The best was – none of them were travelling together. What are the chances of that? I met a man who was my manager in 1990 – almost 30 years ago!!!! How about that! And we recognized each other. Another chance meeting, while waiting to disembark – chatted to a total stranger and discovered that she worked with my sister-in-law many years ago – I immediately called her and the two of them were chatting away about the good old days. We loved that we did not have to spend any money on the cruise, except for the last night as our drinks booklets had run out! While walking down the corridors or anywhere on the ship, it felt like you were in a 5 star hotel. The design and finishes of the interior is top notch. Loved the pool – and the tidal effect created by the forward movement of the ship! This will go down as the best holiday that I have gone on in my 53 years on this planet! I am missing the ship already! We might do the Mauritius or Portugese Island cruise next time. To all the staff on board the MSC Musica, THANK YOU for making it a memorable holiday for my family and I.
(28 Jan 2019)
Hay Heidi,
How are things going?
We got back yesterday and I am back in the office today. Trying to get through the mountain of emails, you can just imagine.
The reason for my email is just to THANK you for putting the best vacation together for us, we ever had. You new just what to book, when to book it and how to book it. Everything was spot on and there is absolutely nothing that we can complain about, except maybe not taking more time off. Everything form the flights, to the transfers to the location to the accommodation was amazing, well planned and professional.
I think you might be hearing from my husband, very soon. He is already planning our trip for next year to go back and then it is our Portugal/ Greece trip for 2020. And we would like nobody ells to do this for us than you, so please do not resign soon.
Thank you once again for everything, we really appreciate everything you have done.
Kind Regards (04 Dec 2018)

Hi Heidi. I just want to say thank you for planning our family vacation to Mauritius. Our flights and hotel stay were of the highest standard. We had an amazing time and were sad to leave.
Thank you for your excellent service. I appreciate it and will definitely refer Travel About to others and come back to you to plan our next holiday.
Mwah!!
Thank you for the good wishes and also for the wonderful assistance you gave us. You were always friendly and helpful no matter how many times I called to ask questions. Will definitely book with you again for your next trip.
I would like to thank you for everything you’ve done to make our 10th wedding anniversary so special. Hubby and myself had a blast. You’ll definitely hear from me soon again.

Goeiemiddag Heidi,
Ek vertrou dit gaan goed met jou.
Ek wil net graag terugvoering gee en ook weereens dankie se vir jou moeite en tyd met ons vakansiereelings in Mauritius.
Dit voel alweer sover terug want ons het sommer met die instap dadelik begin werk.
Ons het regtig n wonderlike vakansie gehad en dit was baie kosbare gesinstyd wat ek glo beide ons en die kinders nog lank sal koester.
Ons het dit vir hulle n verrassing gehou tot die oggend wat ons hier in Windhoek op die vliegtuig geklim het – soos jy kan dink was dit vir hulle n ongelooflike verrassing en heerlike ervaring – hulle is nou net die regte ouderdom om so vakansie behoorlik te kon waardeer en als saam met ons te kon doen.
Ons verblyf by Ravenala was ook baie aangeneem en ek kan regtig nie oor iets kla nie – ek sal die hotel ook vir ander families aanbeveel.
Ons vlug met Air Mauritius het so paar klein issues gehad maar niks wat ons nie kon hanteer.
Alle seen en voorspoed vir jou.
Mooi dag
Hi daar. Ons is veilig terug, uutgepak, wasgoed gewas en huis skoongemaak. Ek wil net dankie se vir jou bydrae tot ons heerlike vakansie in Mauritius. Baie dankie.
(26 July 2018)
Heidi
Ek wil net graag vir jou hiermee baie dankie sê vir die toer-reëlings en bespreekings wat jy vir ons gemaak het met on Phuket vakansie, ons het aboluut “the time of our life’s” gehad en beplan om weer volgende jaar te gaan en dieselfde tipe toer te neem.
Weereens baie dankie dit was wonderlik om net te kon agteroor sit en alles te geniet sonder om bekommerd te wees en te weet dat alles is gereël.
Vriendelike groete

Dear Heidi,
Yes we are safely back home. Indeed we had a wonderful time in India.We learned a lot in all the five cities. It was very remarkable to be informed and to actually be so close to the honorable Mahatma Gandhi through being to his grave. We also enjoyed the market and purchase of the different Indian spices, Indian outfits the art work in all its forms. The Mosques, temples and churches divulged the diversity of Indian religious beliefs.
The Taj Mahal was the most spectacular of the wonderful historic places we visited. The Pink city was lovely too. While it was such a marathon to see all the beautiful architecture, it was very relaxing to get to Goa and Mumbai where we enjoyed India differently.
We feel greatly indebted for all the hospitality and friendliness of the whole team that attended to us, from the company representatives, the guides, the drivers, the porters at the hotels, at the train station and at the airports, everyone was so useful and friendly to us.
Thank you very much for a well organised holiday.
(19 Oct 2018)
That’s perfect Heidi.
The trip was amazing. Phuket was perfect and where we stayed was ideal to get into the madness of the party streets and to also get some rest away from the hustle and bustle. Phi Phi was the best, the party side on the main town was the best.
Bangkok was definitely a shock to the senses, smell, taste, sight and sound. But, wow, what a wonderful experience. Shopping there was amazing and the markets were stocked with all sorts of goodies, food is available everywhere you go on the street and it was delicious.
Overall though the experience was fantastic and you did a great job of getting us what we wanted, I will definitely use you again and have been recommending your services to friends.
Thank you so much for everything!
(23 Oct 2018)
Lovely Heidi, a much meant (even though delayed) note of THANKS for our amazing trip to Mauritius – we had the BEST time!
Truly!! It was really magical and exactly what we were looking for – thank you for listening to us as clients and getting it so right!
Looking forward to planning our next trip with you – will be in touch!
Thanks again for everything,
(05 Nov 2018)
