    4.8 / 5 851 reviews

    Verifiable reviews coming from independent and internationally acclaimed third-party sources speak much louder than we ever could. Please read just some of the over 500 5-star reviews we have online. One of our personal favorites reads:

    CharlieTheTraveler’s itinerary is quite extensive. It is obvious the company does not want its customers to miss any important destinations and attractions. CharlieTheTraveler is very easy to reach, making their personal concierges, booking agents, tour guides and even the Founder himself all available to you if you are in need of anything. CharlieTheTraveler puts its heart into its services and prioritizes safety and trust above all else. The prices are quite reasonable, especially considering they sell first-class experiences and the hotels they use are almost all 5-star (or 4-star in areas where 5-star hotels do not exist). They basically do all the thinking for you, providing all the tour guides and ground transportation. Their tours are set up in a way in which you do not need to arrange anything yourself but rather just have fun. CharlieTheTraveler deserves all the business it gets from travelers from all around the world.

      South Brazil: See & Experience Almost it ALL in 10 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours

      5.0Excellent
      23rd January 2024
      I was initially intrigued by CharlieTheTraveler trips that had beach excursions, as I love the beach. However, after reading how many beaches we were visiting in South Brazil and all of the other activities we were still able to do, I knew that was the trip for me! The tour did not disappoint in providing beach trips and even more! I enjoyed going on the boat tour of Buzios, as the water was immaculate, and it was such a great way to tour the country!

      Belize: See & Experience it ALL in 10 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours

      16th January 2024
      My husband and I highly recommend Charlie the Traveler. We decided to honeymoon in Belize and we booked our 10 day trip through Tour Radar. Charlie called me after we booked and we talked for about 30 minutes about Belize and all the things to do. Evelyn (with Charlie the Traveler) sent us our itinerary 2 weeks before our trip and it was jam packed with adventures: cave tubing, cave canoeing, snorkeling, visiting the Mayan ruins including a massive cave adventure, the zoo, and more. Our tour guide in country, Valentin, was incredibly knowledgeable, punctual, professional, and funny. We felt very safe and taken care of. Evelyn remained available if we needed anything during the trip. We would use Charlie the Traveler again for another trip!

        Our Tour Package Itinerary

        Day 1: Night Cruise with Sea Breeze & Dinner

        We start our trip to the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. This is also where we are based for the entire duration of our tour. It is from here we make daily excursions, which are packed with unique adventures and excitement. Today we pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel. In the evening, we go on a traditional boat cruise inside the marina. Dinner is included on this evening’s cruise.

        Day 2: Helicopter Ride, Nonstop Activities in the Desert & Belly Dancing

        There is no better way for us to start this morning than with a flightseeing tour over Dubai. Afterwards, we head to the desert. There we go dune bashing, sand boarding, quad riding and camel riding as well as watch a belly dance show. Dinner is included on today’s tour.

        Day 3: The Presidential Palace, a Grand Mosque & Floating Above What Appears to be a Giant Palm

        Today we are making a daytrip to Abu Dhabi, specifically to the glamorous and ornate Presidential Palace and then to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. We then return to Dubai and go on a hot-air balloon ride over the ‘Palm’. This consists of three artificial islands: Palm Jumeirah, Deira Islands and Palm Jebel Ali. Construction began in 2001 and ended around 2007.

        Day 4: The World’s Largest Skyscraper, a Light Show, a Boat Ride, a Huge Aquarium & Arab Markets

        Today is all about exploring Dubai. We start with visiting five different souks (a.k.a. bazaars): Gold Souk, then the Perfume Souk, then the Spice Souk, then the Bur Dubai Souk and finally Souk Madinat. Outside Souk Madinat, we go on a boat ride. The surrounding buildings are quite charming. We then head to Dubai Mall so we can check out its impressive and large aquarium. We then walk outside the mall to enjoy the light show as well as what is essentially Dubai’s central/downtown area. Lasty, we ascend to what is the world’s largest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa. The views from above are marvelous.

        Day 5: Exploring More of Dubai’s Famous Attractions

        Best known for its white sands, clear waters and prestigious, innovative and world-renowned hotel resorts, Dubai has rightfully been a mecca for tourists for several years now. True, Dubai is not generally known for its historical landmarks. Nonetheless, its modernistic attractions are both impressive and undeniably creative. Highlights for today include Burj Al Arab Hotel (the world’s only 7-star hotel), a flower garden called Miracle Garden (seasonal) and a cultural, entertainment and shopping destination called Global Village (seasonal).

        Day 6: Our Tour Ends This Morning

        Transportation will be arranged for you to reach the airport in Dubai.

        As a female solo traveler I have truly enjoyed every second of my stay with this company. I was very nervous but because they were so organized I was able to relax and not have to think too much on my trip. This was a dream come true for me and it’s absolutely worth it. The best part is I get a personal concierge in case I need anything I would do it again and highly recommend this trip.

        Charlie is a great person who is also great at planning tours like this. Going with a company that plans everything well for you just lifts such a lift off your shoulder. I didn’t have to worry about anything because everything was well thought of. United Arab might have been the first tour I took of Charlie’s, but it won’t be the last, that’s for sure.

        I was blown away by the beauty of the country. Going on a tour allowed me to enjoy United Arab Emirates and its cultural richness without having to worry about the little details, because Charlie makes sure it’s all well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another one of his tours in the near future..!

        Frequently Asked Questions

        Can We Customize This Tour?

        We are open to customizing this tour to your liking, even though the itinerary we recommend is rock solid. As our tour is currently advertised, you absolutely will not find another one out there as packed with activities and attractions. What’s more, you will not find another tour out there that offers it all "FIRST CLASS," yet for a relatively low price. We have thousands of travelers taking this specific tour every year, and that's because no competitor can beat us on quality, price & substance.

        Is Travel Insurance Required & Included?

        All participants are required to book travel insurance within 72 hours of booking this tour. At a minimum, such insurance must cover cancellations, medical expenses, evacuations, flight loss or delays and 24/7 assistance.

        How Much Does This Tour Cost & Is Financing Offered?

        A 4-installment payment plan is available, often with 0 percent interest to those with at least decent credit. Ask us for details. Our luxury-oriented and itinerary-packed “United Arab Emirates in 6 Days” tour is available for $2,221 USD per person. This price includes all transportation, except flights. It also includes English-speaking tour guides, food, all activities and all entry fees. If you would like lodging included for all nights on this tour, then the combined (transportation, tour guides, food, activities, entry fees and lodging) total would be $2,805 USD per person. This price is based on 2 per room and is offered to those booking at least 6 weeks in advance. Note that there is a $30 USD fee if paying by bank transfer or a 4.6 percent surcharge for payments made by credit card. We accept both forms of payment. We do not accept checks. Moving forward, to better understand your specific circumstances and wishes, and for us to accurately quote you, please tell us:


        1. How many persons in your party-including yourself-would be joining this tour? Solo travelers are welcomed, in case you were wondering.

        2. What is your age and the age of your travel companion(s), if applicable? Travel insurance is required for this tour and we cannot quote you without knowing your age.

        3. Would you be sharing the room with others in your group (e.g. a spouse, relative or friend) or do you want the room exclusive to you?

        4. Where would you be flying from (and back to)?

        5. On what date would you like to leave home?

        6. Do you have a preference between male and female tour guides?

        8. Would you like to extend the duration of this tour by 1 day specifically so you can go snorkeling in neighboring Oman? This is best suited for families who wish to relax.

        What’s Excluded in the Price?

        Although airfare is not included in the price, we will find you the exact flights you need. Just ask.

        Are Domestic Flights Needed for This Tour?

        No

        At What Specific Hotels Would We Be Staying?

        For this tour, you would be staying the whole time in Dubai. It is always from there you would make daily excursions. Grand Plaza Mövenpick or Media City or Hotel Fairmont or Pullman Dubai Jumeirah Lakes Towers or voco Bonnington or Mövenpick Jumeirah Beach or Stella Di Mare Dubai Marina Hotel are the names of the hotels where we commonly have our customers stay. Note this is subject to availability.

        Is This a Private or Group Tour?

        Guided tours to the landmarks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are exclusive to you and whomever else you may book on behalf of. The helicopter ride, the hot-air balloon ride, the boat rides and the excursion into the desert are shared with other travelers. Note that we can make the desert excursion private, per your request, at an additional cost.

        *Note that you are not with the same travelers and tour guides throughout your trip. Instead, you usually meet and engage with new people.

        Am I Sharing the Room with Someone?

        Your room is exclusive to you and whomever is in your party. Strangers (meaning customers who book on the same start date but do not know each other) do not share rooms on this tour. On a side note, please let us know if you and the other person(s) in your booking want separate rooms.

        What is the Age Range & Nationality of the People Who Book This Tour?

        Although we get customers of all ages and from several countries, our statistics show most people who book are 30 to 65 years old and from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

        Are Kids Allowed on This Tour & Are They Charged the Same as Adults?

        We welcome your kids specifically and only when the tour is exclusive to you and your group-meaning other customers are not joining you. We define kids as anyone under 18 years old. In order to make the tour exclusive to you and your group, your booking would need to be for 4 persons or more for any of our tours except Iceland. For our Iceland tour, your booking would need to be for 8 persons or more. Regarding the cost of bringing a non-adult, we do deduct from the total based on the amount of activities you request we remove from the tour. Note that reducing the total price of the tour by removing activities is something offered for non-adults only. Adults can opt out of activities but the total price does not change.

        How Strong Do I Need to Be For This Trip?

        We do not expect you to be an Olympic champion. We know some of the tour members are more fit than others…and we are well prepared for this. However, we do hope you take into consideration this is a very active tour, just like every other tour we offer.

        Are Disabled People Allowed on This Tour?

        Please let us know about any disability you have. Some disabilities would not affect you taking this tour. Others would prevent you from joining altogether. Although we want all of our customers to have fun, your safety is our first priority.

        Do I Get Any Free Time to Myself?

        Of course. Once each day’s tour is over, you have the rest of the evening to yourself. Because our tours tend to be very active, our customers typically want to simply relax once the sun sets.

        What Happens If I Arrive Late?

        Notify us as soon as possible and we will do our very best to arrange a meeting point. Please note that we do not refund for any days or activities that you miss.

        Can I Opt-Out of Certain Activities?

        Generally speaking, you can opt out as long as we are given adequate notice. Please note that opting out of certain activities does not reduce the price of this tour.

        What Happens If I Get Injured on This Trip & Cannot Continue?

        We would do our best to keep you safe and make you as comfortable as possible, as well as make special arrangements to address your situation. Partial refunds are not offered if you cannot continue with the tour. However, most travel insurances reimburse you for such situations. This is one of many reasons why we require our customers to purchase travel insurance before taking this tour.

        What Happens If I Cancel This Trip?

        To confirm your tour, full payment is needed at the time of your purchase. However, refunds are offered. You will receive a full refund if canceling at least 91 days in advance from the departure date. Cancelling between 90-60 days prior to departure entitles you to a 50 percent refund. Cancelling between 59-31 days prior to departure entitles you to a 25 percent refund. Canceling 30 days or less prior to departure is not eligible for a refund. Cancellation requests need to be made by email and become effective on the date received by CharlieTheTraveler.

        What Happens If You, CharlieTheTraveler, Cancel This Trip?

        In the unlikely event CharlieTheTraveler needs to cancel this trip, such as because of very poor weather conditions, we will give you a full refund for the tour within 14 business days of the cancellation. Note: We are not a participant in the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund, nor is this transaction covered by the Restitution Fund.

        How Do You Help Prepare Us For This Trip?

        You should receive an email from us within 24 hours of purchasing this tour as well as a week before departure. The first email gives details about what to bring, how to prepare yourself, etc. The second email is more like a timetable combined with important contact information.

        Is There Anything Out of the Ordinary I Should Bring on This Trip?

        Bring a strap for your sunglasses, to wrap around your head while on the hot-air balloon. Also, bring a mobile hand/wrist strap, to prevent it from falling while in the air. Also, bring a mask and motorcycle goggles, to be used to block the dust while riding in the desert. On a different note, you may need to bring adapters for your electronic devices.

        Are the Tour Guides Licensed & Will They Be With Me the Entire Time?

        Our tour guides/drivers are licensed, speak English and know how to bring excitement to your day. What we deliver is the complete opposite of the cookie-cutting tours the big corporations offer, leaving you in complete boredom. Although our tour guides/drivers are attentive, accommodating and engaged, they also know when to give you your private space and free time. It's a perfect balance.

        In Which Language(s) is This Tour Offered?

        All of our tours are offered in English. If you prefer another language, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

        Do We Need to Get Our Own Transportation to and From the Airport?

        Absolutely not. We make the arrangements for you.
