SmoothRed Omdömen 217

We recently visited Reims with SmoothRed which was excellent. Starting from the pre-trip communications, details within the SR App and then the trip itself were first class. On our Champagne Experience we were escorted by Katia who was exceptionally knowledgeable and delightful company for the day. Next task is to see where else SmoothRed offer trips and get the next one booked it. Would have no hesitation in recommending the Reims Champagne Experience and SmoothRed.

The itinerary they set up was perfect. They made access to tickets so easy to access. the guides they provided were very knowledgeable ,and helpful. Was a wonderful trip !!!

We decided to go to Portugal basically because neither of us had been. As always, when we travel to Europe, we had SmoothRed handle the trip.

The trip, from start to finish was excellent. The people, the food, the sights the experiences were all phenomenal. SmoothRed excels at finding the unique, the out of the way all under the care of knowledgeable, personable guides.

We stayed at great hotels, some in the vibrant heart of the cities and some in the splendid quiet of the country. Restaurants were all great and ranged from an exquisite Michelin starred restaurant overlooking the ocean (Casa de Chá da Boa Nova) to a tiny roadside spot (Bar 21 off IP3) a local hotspot for amazing suckling pig sandwiches.

To date we have had three trips through SmoothRed and plan on more (they are expanding to Japan & South America!). Our experiences have always been exceptional and we know that once we are in their hands, all we need to do is relax and enjoy.

We loved our trip. Smoothred did an amazing job and built an awesome itinerary. Additionally, my wife ended up sick while in London and the agency assisted us with adjusting our reservations to ensure she was take care of. Right before my wife became sick, she looked at me and said, "this trip is a 10/10". The itinerary and pricing build at the beginning to the high level of support throughout our entire trip. A++++ We will definitely use them again.

SmoothRed organised an end-to-end trip to Rioja for me and 5 friends including transfers. The schedule they put together had great variety: a Michelin-star restaurant, some local eateries and a tapas crawl, wine-tasting at a prestigious vineyard and an intimate tasting with a smaller producer. The hotel was superb and the schedule (with lots of useful local info) was all on their excellent app which removed any admin hassle. An incredible trip and I can’t recommend the SmoothRed team enough.

SmoothRed provided a good overall experience, from planning to execution. Their app was helpful for organizing the trip details, and accommodations matched our preferences well. While most of the arrangements went smoothly, there was a miscommunication about a cooking class that was later addressed. A few hiccups aside, their service was solid. 3 stars.

When my wife and I learned that SmoothRed created travel experiences to Chile and Argentina we had to have them create an experience exclusively for us.

We have long been curios about travel to South America. Our interests included geography, geology, biology and culture. Chris Rigge patiently worked with us to create a wonderful 14 day experience to Chile and Argentina that included the Atacama desert in northern Chile, the Salta region in Argentina, Santiago and Buenos Aires.

Andreea was tasked with making the detailed arrangements. Every transfer was on time, all the guides were excellent and spoke fluent english, every room was ready for us when we arrived (early or late), meal reservations booked and the quality of all the rooms excellent. Also, any detail I have forgotten Andreea remembered and covered.

This is our third trip with SmoothRed and they demonstrated that they are able to arrange any type of travel experience. Trip number four will be in 2026. As of now the destination is unknown.

Eugene & Shannon

A perfect Brothers Trip to Bordeaux. It was our first time using SmoothRed and we had many conversations and texts to plan our 10 day trip. They wisely suggested 2 rather than 3 chateaux per day and arranged our hotels, transport including great and friendly drivers every day (the best way to go) all meal reservations and chateaux visits including First Growths. We will definitely use SmoothRed when my brother and I go to Burgundy.

This is my third trip with SmoothRed & boy what an experience this South American tour was. Unparalleled in terms of quality and experiences, from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend them enough and I look forward to planning my next adventure with them.

Smooth Red’s attention to detail, outstanding customer service, and app made this trip of a lifetime unforgettable. Chris and Andreea were very accommodating and helpful. All of our tour guides were exceptional. The trip exceeded all expectations!!!

We just wanted to write to thank you for organising such a great trip to Reims.
The schedule you provided was perfect; giving us enough time to visit the city, enjoy the great food, (excellent recommendations), and most importantly -comparing a large corporate Champagne house with smaller, family run houses.
Jerome, our guide, was super attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and great at letting us enjoy our lunch without rushing us.
The hotel and parking worked out fine too.
It was a pleasure to do business with such a slick operation.

This was the best Wine tour I have done and they’ve been a few. In particular, the full day tour with Diego from Rioca trek was exceptional. a great combination of a knowledgeable guide and some amazing Wines.
Logroño was a great place to be based with a great historic centre and first class dining options. Highly recommend Smooth Red

From the very start, working with Smooth Red has been nothing but a wonderful experience planning our long-awaited 14-day Italy trip.
The process was so easy, and I feel like I did little to no work at all. Just told them where we wanted to go, places and things we wanted to do, and they basically did all the planning for us. This trip was based around a wine experience. We stayed at little boutique hotels which was way better than your chain hotels. We had our own private chauffers in each city, private tour guides, private wine tastings - they would make reservations for us at restaurants of our choice which they provided a list of places to eat with menu's to even look at beforehand. - the list goes on and on. We went to Vencie, took a train to Florence and Tuscany, then flew to Sicily and then back to Venice. Every day or so they would check in to see how our trip was going. The APP - well let me tell you. Everything for our entire trip was accessible on our phones, from tickets, hotels we were staying at, chauffer names and numbers, what we had planned for each day, it was amazing to have all that at or fingertips. Didn't' have to worry about old fashioned paper copies for everything.
The only complaint that we had was our cooking class in Sicily. Two of us don't eat seafood (I know), we specifically said that we wanted to learn how to make homemade pasta. While we loved our Italian Chef Antonio, he somehow didn't get the email that we didn't like seafood and guess what, that's what he had arranged for us to cook. We continued with the class and had a great time, however 2 of us didn't eat much. Thankfully they did serve us a pasta side plate. I contact Smooth Red when we got back home and they apologized more than once and couldn't believe that had happened as they said it numerous times NO SEAFOOD. They reached out to them to find out where the drop in communication was. They did reimburse us for our cooking class which I thought was awesome!
I can't say enough about everyone that I dealt with at Smooth Red - We are ready to plan our next trip and most definitely will be using Smooth Red again. All in All, we had the most fabulous trip to Italy! I would give them a 4.7 stars!

Thank you Smooth Red!

This is our 3rd trip with SmoothRed (planning a 4th!) and they've been nothing short of exceptional, bespoke and organized! Their communication throughout the process is top-notch, including while on the trip. The best part of SmoothRed is their vast knowledge of many European destinations, especially if you enjoy wine, food, private tastings, and historical tours. Their partners are all over-the-top and professional (this includes hotel partners!), which says a lot about SmoothRed's diligence and dedication to being the best. All 5 stars from us!

Wow, just wow! SmoothRed have excelled. Based upon our previous experience we had expected a great trip but in every aspect, our Wine Tasting Tour of Tuscany excelled! The SmoothRed Team understood our requirements, designed and executed our trip to perfection. Hotels, cookery classes, guides, drivers were all wonderful and the SmoothRed Team were always on hand to provide support and guidance if needed, and happily it was not. The App is a real winner and provides all of the information required. Well done guys 🙌

The accommodations were exactly as indicated by SmoothRed. They are excellent in matching hotels to our preferences. The local guides were knowledgeable
and delightful company. SmoothRed was available for any emergency which is inevitable in travels today.

SmoothRed (Jack and Marjorie) planned our trip to Bordeaux/Paris exactly as we requested and to our standards. We would not change a thing and will definitely use them again. All of the details were arranged and spelled out in the app. They even gave ideas of things to do when we had downtime. Hotels, restaurants, car transfers and guides were all exceptional (and on time). The wineries chosen were all unique, interesting and showcased the beauty of the Bordeaux wine regions.

We had a wonderful trip exploring Ribera and Rioja. Thanks to the SmoothRed team , our trip was very organized right from the beginning all the way to the end .

The tours and the wineries we visited over the week were exceptional , we wouldn't have been able to do this ourselves . We left with amazing memories and a great experience.

Thank you Jack and team , can not wait to plan our next trip together !!

Brilliant trip to N. Rhone and Burgundy. The planning by Smooth Red (SR) was meticulous from the interests we had in wine to the booking of restaurants. The guides were just excellent and both had a deep knowledge of wine making and of the "terroir" in their regions. Every piece of the trip was flawless including the excellent hotels. SR also kept in touch during our trip to ensure everything was going well and I know they did the same with the guides. Would definitely recommend them and we will certainly be using them again

My trip to Burgundy and Champagne exceeded my expectations. I wanted to learn about the history and culture of these wine regions and my trip taught me so much. I know feel I understand these regions and why the wines are so special. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you to Jack and Marjorie for arranging everything and creating such a memorable trip. I will be returning to Smooth Red in future.
