A Truly Exceptional Experience with Lyndill! I recently had the pleasure of working with Lyndill, and I can confidently say she is the most amazing travel agent I have ever encountered! From the very beginning, Lyndill went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our family island holiday was perfect. What truly sets Lyndill apart is her personal touch. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, crafting an itinerary that felt tailor-made just for us. Throughout our stay, she checked in regularly, making sure everything was going smoothly and addressing any little issues that arose with ease and professionalism. Her commitment to our enjoyment was evident at every turn, and her recommendations were spot on. It felt like we had our own miracle worker making our dream vacation a reality! I cannot recommend Lyndill's services highly enough. If you're looking for someone who will create the best holiday experience for you and your family, look no further. Thank you, Lyndill, for an unforgettable trip!

We recently had to book flights from South Africa to Chile to visit my husband's family. Due to Covid restrictions, travelling internationally has become extremely complicated. Lyndill went above and beyond to assist us and find the best tickets at the right price. The back and forth process took more than a week, but Lyndill kept working at it and solved issues as they came up. We probably would have given up if she was not there to assist us. It has been a pleasure working with Lyndill and we would recommend her to all our friends and family. We cannot wait for our trip and feel super secure knowing Lyndill will be there to keep an eye and guide us if necessary.

I want to personally thank you from the 6 of us for everything you have done, are doing and will do in the future for us. It has been a 9 year journey with you and I truly find it difficult to put words together to tell you how much I appreciate you, even more so over the past 7 weeks which have been the most eventful of our lives. Jenson’s birth, House fire, Covid-19 lock down, Isabella been hospitalized, home schooling and moving 4 times. In all this chaos the one constant has been you. Thank you for negotiating, arranging and ensuring every single detail has been attended too during this “lockdown”. What I find amazing is the amount of organizing you have done intuitively; I know this comes from a deep understanding of your client’s needs. You are amazing, and I can’t wait to finally meet you at our Wedding later this year.

On both occasions that we have used Lyndill Cilliers to us assist us with flight and travel arrangements to the UK and Europe, we found her to be extremely helpful and efficient. Lyndill always tried to get the best deals to suite our travel needs and always consulted before making any bookings. Once we had agreed on the details, Lyndill kept us informed all the time and also assisted us with travel insurance, VISA application processes and our electronic tickets. All of this made the process very easy for us. Lyndill even followed up to ensure that all went well with the arrangements. We therefore knew that we had a travel expert there for us all the time.
We will certainly make use of Lyndill again and thank goodness she was with us to sort out all issues relating to the forced cancellation of our return British Airways booking due to Covid 19. As there has been so much uncertainty regarding what could happen financially, it was very reassuring knowing that Lyndill was there to assist. Once again insuring that we got the best deal from British Airways.
We have and will continue to recommend Lyndill to our friends and family

I was most fortunate to have Lyndill’s expertise and her dedication to support me on my side when my travel plans to the Netherlands and USA fell apart due to COVID-19. As a result of her efforts I could avoid an administrative tangle as she seamlessly changed flight and accommodation plans to later dates. There is no substitute for someone like Lyndill who looks after the interests of her clients first and foremost – also after bookings have been completed. This has been my experience with Lyndill as my travel consultant for a decade.

I just want to thank Lyndill in assisting me and my daughter back from Australia on such short notice.
We were having such a wonderful holiday with my family in Australia. My husband phoned and said he thinks we must come home due to the Covid-19 it was a shock to me. But it only took one phone call to Lyndill and she organized us new flights back within 12 hours. She is available 24/7 and one can rely on a speedy service every time!
And even after I had arrived home she phoned to hear if my flights were ok and that my daughter and I were home safely.
