The Conscious Travel Shop Reviews 8

Nathan at Conscious Travel has booked multiple trips for me, always focused on the details, very attentive and going the extra mile, eg contacting the hotel in Ecuador to make sure they were aware of my travel details and hotel driver was at the airport to meet me.
When I arrived somewhat apprehensively on my own on my 1st visit to Cambodia to find no transportation, Nathan took my call and got it sorted straight away.
On another trip, when my hotel said I would have to move rooms during my holiday, Nathan called them in person and as if by magic my room became available throughout!
Nathan has organised trips for me to St Lucia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands and most recently to Papua.
I always book through him now as I am confident he will check everything out (including flights I had booked myself where Nathan spotted my potentially very expensive mistake and helped me fix it!), advise on the best options and care that everything goes well!
I could not recommend him highly enough, indeed many of my friends now book with him.

We have used Conscious Travel previously for a trip to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico Jan 2024. We had booked flights and needed accommodation for 4, plus an additional two had also booked at a later date using CT. Nathan @ CT came as a personal recommendation, but being fairly well travelled, we thought we could get good deals ourselves. When the CT quote came in it was significantly cheaper than we could find anywhere else. He arranged the transfers and we had an amazing time at Secrets Vallarta.

We decided that we needed a 3 month break from work at the end of 2025. Again we booked reward flights direct with airlines into Buenos Aries and out of Las Vegas, using up some points and reward vouchers that we would otherwise lose.

We looked to book an itinerary ourselves based on considerable research we had done ourselves. It was at this point that we realised we were spending a lot of time trying to glue our ideal itinerary together. Whilst it's easy to pick the locations and hotels, transfers and flights were starting to become challenging; booking excursions also needed to be done in advance, which also was complex (or a leap of faith with unknown companies). We put out our itinerary to 3 travel companies, two were using destination management companies and Nathan was selecting services himself. We chose Nathan's quote because it fitted our itinerary and within our expected budget far better. In 30 days there would be 12 flights, 2 bus transfers, numerous private transfers and 9 pre-booked excursions.

CT worked through the itinerary and adjusted some of our expectations. We took out some destinations, spent more time in the ones we went to. Our trip included Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls (including Brazil and Argentina sides), Mendoza, El Calafate, El Chalten, Torres Del Paine, Santiago, Valparaiso, San Pedro de Atacama and finally Las Vegas (yes a crazy choice..).

The bulk of the holiday ran exactly as planned, however South American airlines do have a tendency to cancel or change flights, and Conscious Travel were on hand to sort out both transfers and two rearranged flights, notified the hotels of changes, all over WhatsApp late at night. We actually benefited from the changes; just had to get up early, but gained an extra half day in Mendoza.

The tours were all superb, mostly private tours or small group. In most cases the hotel was aware of our excursions and ensured an early breakfast or packed breakfast was available. Conscious Travel checked in with us at every move of hotel to check all was good. Giving us opportunity to give feedback.

We added in our own tours once we had done the booked experiences, for example the tour of vineyards in Mendoza was so good on the first day, we booked a second with the same company.

We would recommend Conscious Travel based on our two previous experiences, and we are now enjoying another holiday booked with them in Cancun Mexico; again at a price we could not find ourselves, including transfers and lounge access.

I was put in touch with Nathan via mutual friend who recommended his company. That was in December 2024. Since then I’ve just returned back from Poland for my wife’s 40th and from start to finish it was brilliant, and not just the trip. The professionalism and assistance provided by Nathan was 1st class.
I’m off to Turkey golfing next week with customers from work and then again in September all sorted by Nathan and his team. If hadn’t already booked our family holiday to Gran Canaria I would have gone with Nathan for that too!
Highly recommended. Thanks again.

We have had a fantastic experience with The Conscious Travel Shop. We wanted an experience of a lifetime to be totally pampered to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Nathan was amazing. He came up with a number of options which met the bill, found and booked our flights and guided us through to book 2 weeks in an amazing new resort in the Dominican Republic for March 2024. We can't wait and we are already talking to Nathan about our next adventure a Wildlife Safari in 2025. I wouldn't hesitation to recommend Nathan and the Conscious Travel Shop!

Amazing Service!
The whole team have provided a service that is 2nd to none. I have travelled extensively and this has been the easiest it has ever been. Nathan picked us the hotel and it was beautiful. I will be using the service again.

Great personal and attentive service, delivered just what I wanted for my Caribbean experience. I appreciated the reminders of what forms etc had to be completed before travelling to ensure a no-hitches holiday.

Fantastic service from Nathan and the team!! We used the Conscious Travel Shop for a holiday to the Amalfi Cost in August and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Everything went smoothly and the hotel was lovely. The guys even managed to get us an upgraded room, which when travelling with an 18 month old was a huge bonus! On top of that they even managed to get us access to the rooftop private pool which is usually only for Hilton Diamond members! Great location too, very central and allowed us to explore everything Sorrento had to offer as well as day trips to Capri and Positano! Will 100% be using these guys again for our next trip!

I had a brilliant two week holiday in Mauritus all organised by Nathan at The Conscious Travel Shop. The service and hotel Nathan guided us towards was brilliant. It was helpful that Nathan is well travelled and had been to Mauritus and I have also refereed friends to who have booked their safari in South Africa, somewhere Nathan has also been.
Highly recommended
