I would recommend Kiron 101%! We had many facets to our trip and were traveling with children. Everything happened without a hitch from transportation to and from airport, hotels and four different tours. Her suggestions were always first class and she was always available for questions and last minute changes. I can’t wait to plan next summers vacation!

I had been considering a trip to the Galapagos for years, but I was overwhelmed with options and unable to make a plan. Luckily, I called Kiron who quickly found me just the right trip - the right schedule, the right itinerary, the right price, and the right activities. As I got up close and personal with nature, and with myself, I felt overwhelmed with gratitude several times on my vacation. I hadn't realized how much I needed the time and space away until I actually took it. It was the trip of a lifetime, one that I never could have put together on my own. Kiron made my travel dreams come true!
- Leah Rosenbloom (Galapagos Expedition Cruise)
So glad I found Kiron! I knew I wanted some help when planning my trip to India, and I was hoping to find someone familiar with the country. Kiron had actually visited the exact place I wanted to go! She was indispensable throughout the process, from relatively low-stakes questions about the expectations around tipping, to the potential disaster of cancelled/rescheduled domestic flights, Kiron was able to help me navigate it all. She provided options as well as guidance to make sure I got the trip I was hoping for. She even arranged for some extra perks to be added to my package. I can’t wait to work with her on future travel! Thanks, Kiron!

For our 25th wedding anniversary, we decided to revisit George V in Paris. I asked for Kiron’s help to secure the hotel and reservation at the 3 star Michelin restaurant Le Cinq, which is located in this Four Seasons property. From the minute we arrived, the service, surprises and attention to details that Kiron had created were amazing! We thought we were being taken to our superior room but Kiron had upgraded us into a suite. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes with the Four Seasons team so that we were welcomed to this expansive suite with a balcony and view of the Eiffel Tower. The suite was decorated with our favourite champagne, notes from our children, an anniversary cake, balloons and pictures of Rick and I from our honeymoon in Paris 25 years ago! It was magical. And was topped off by an amazing gastronomic experience at Le Cinq. Kiron will take your trip to another level of pleasure and luxury beyond your wildest dreams. She is the best!!

Our honeymoon to Greece was beyond incredible! Me and my husband Amritpal had an amazing experience and felt like we were treated with VIP status at the hotel and every activity we planned with Concierge Vacations was phenomenal!! Kiron did an amazing job of planning the activities and setting up VIP service at the hotels! We felt like celebrities! The entire experience was a perfect balance of enjoying the activities planned and having enough time to explore the city on our own! We truly enjoyed every moment of our vacation and we will have memories for a lifetime! Kiron was incredibly professional while she was planning our trip and made herself available when we were traveling abroad! We experienced a high level of service throughout our entire trip!! I can’t wait to book our next travel experience with Concierge Vacations!! Highly, highly, recommend Kiron!!!!
- Dr. Amritpal & Mrs. Sheena Nat (Greece)
Oh gosh! Where do I begin? I was referred to her by a friend and everything she said about Kiron was true. Kind, professional and top notch service. She first interviewed me as to our wants, needs and expectations for our Italian vacation. A few days later, she developed a sample itinerary. We made a couple rounds of revisions and in no time she had the entire trip planned including our airfare.
A week before our trip, Kiron gave us an app to download where she had our entire itinerary including every associated document that we would need. So simple and convenient!!
From the moment we arrived in Italy, everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. Our drivers and guides were A+. The service level of everyone we encountered was seamless and high quality. We also loved our private, very knowledgable guides that took us past all the lines of people right to the front of the line. We felt so incredibly special and it made our trip just perfect. We never had to waste time in lines.
Kiron was always available for us, if we needed anything. She also had a local contact for us too.
We could never have had the time nor the contacts within Italy to provide a first class experience that we received. Kiron is worth her weight in gold. We are never organizing holidays again without her. Thank you Kiron!!!
-Barbara Benotto (Italy)
Kiron was a dream to work with. She provided us with a detailed and personal itinerary of Japan that addressed all our needs and desires in terms of exploring many different aspects on our trip. Kiron was approachable, and checked in with us throughout our trip. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. I highly recommend her. She truly takes pride in her work.
- Dr. Madhu Jawanda & Dr. Rick Chehil (Japan)
Kiron is a rare mix of two types that must not converge very often: she is an adventurer with a passionate wanderlust for the whole world, and at the same time utterly reliable, thorough, and committed to the details: exactly the person you want to shepherd you to parts unknown. She knitted together a fast-moving week's worth of experiences that never felt hectic but left us marveling at how much we did! Everything went so smoothly it's astonishing. We could not be more pleased with ourselves for trusting our trip to Kiron!
- Jenny and Randy Ackerman (Cuba)
We celebrated our 30th anniversary in the beautiful Maldives. Kiron took the time to understand our needs and picked a perfect place for us of understated luxury. We had a gorgeous over the water villa- felt like we were living the Robinson Crusoe life with our very own Mr. Friday. I spent the entire time barefeet (we had to surrender our shoes) which truly grounded me to my essence. Watching the gorgeous sunrise and sunset on the Indian Ocean that surrounded us and sleeping on the rooftop bed under the canopy of stars were experiences that are etched in our memory forever! Kiron’s meticulous planning also had our favorite tea and wine stocked in our villa - bravo! She curated an awesome experience to mark our very special anniversary - thank you Kiron!!

If there is one agent out there in luxury travel that can handle a large crowd of travelers in one group with specialized needs and do it with grace, it's Kiron Dhaliwal. Kiron was able to meet and exceed all of our expectations. She went above and beyond to take care dietary needs and allergies to foods and ensured that we truly enjoyed each and every meal and dining experience. She organized a private welcome breakfast in such a beautiful setting - I felt like a Queen. Kiron arranged all of our activites with finest tour guides. I could truly relax and enjoy my time because my kids were in professional hands. We felt so safe. Additionally, Kiron secured late check outs so we could maximize our time on our last day. She catered to each of us as individuals but yet was able to blend all of our activites seamlessly to function in a group of 44. That's personalized service in luxury travel that can only be delivered by Kiron Dhaliwal!
-Gunu Singh (Bora Bora)
Kiron was so helpful. I was searching for something pretty specific and within a certain budget. Kiron was able to find exactly what I was looking for and within my budget! She’s very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. I highly recommend Kiron and can’t wait to work with her again!"
-Heather Shinn Gordon (St. Lucia wellness resort)
"Working with Kiron was Fabulous & EASY! From past conversations and family vacation booking, Kiron already knew what is/was most important to us (nonstop flights, ocean view room, family-friendly accommodations, activities, etc) so working with her again was a breeze. She priced multiple options and easily booked us on one of our favorite vacations to date. With a few simple suggestions we were also ahead of others in terms of kids club bookings and she graciously treated us to a few extra amenities. We LOVE Kiron and would recommend her to anyone looking to travel!"
- Nina Voss (Hawaii)
"I don't even know where to begin, Kiron planned the most amazzzing Honeymoon that I'm still dreaming about. She far exceeded our expectations, and I honestly cannot wait to plan another vacation with her! She went above and beyond in every way possible. She first gave us suggestions on possible destinations, and after tons of research we decided on the French Polynesia, specifically Moorea and Bora Bora.
Kiron made the process so easy, she did all the hard work, from finding flights to accommodations to excursions. She made excellent recommendations on activities, food, and accommodations. She also helped us budget our trip! She got us amazing deals, and we honestly saved a lot of time and money with Concierge Vacations! She also made sure our trip was personalized to us. She called the hotels we were staying at and got us upgrades, fruit baskets, daily coconuts, and so much more. She also planned an amazing surprise for us, one morning we were greeted in our overwater bungalow with a canoe breakfast, which was absolutely beautiful and delicious! I can just go on and on about all the thought and effort she put in to make our honeymoon a trip of a lifetime! I am more than ready to plan my next trip with Kiron.
Thank you Kiron for your hard work and thoughtfulness in helping us create a trip of a lifetime! We cannot wait to work with you again very soon!"
- Drs. Sakshi & Amit Nat
"Working with Kiron was a delight. She listened to our needs and wants as a family and personalized a trip that was an experience of a lifetime. She worked within our budget and made brilliant suggestions. She was accessible and helpful during the entire course of our trip and checked in on us. It was one of our best trips ever and we look forward to working with Kiron again!"
-Dr. Madhu Jawanda & Dr. Rick Chehil (Venice & Spain)
"Renting a Tuscan villa seemed impossible. Where do I start? I spoke with Kiron and she found us a fabulous, once in a lifetime villa (professional kitchen --- a foodie's dream!) for a week. We were so impressed with her "find" that we then asked her to book us a cruise to Croatia. She had us discover that a cruise doesn't have to be a HUGE boat. We sailed on a "yacht" cruise line and it was spectacular! We just kept giving her a list of things and she really was instrumental on helping us coordinate a European vacation for 37 days! She even gave us helpful hints (like to register with the Embassy), that gave us peace of mind. We are world travelers but we couldn't have pulled off all that! We'll be back again. Thanks for the priceless memories."
-Kimberly Nelson
"My wife and I had never been to Cape Cod, and we really didn't know where to start. I mentioned our vacation to Kiron, and she developed a itinerary for our two week vacation. It was excellent! She identified fantastic towns to visit, places to stay, and great restaurants. Thanks to Kiron, we had a fantastic vacation, and we would highly recommend Kiron for your special vacation."

"We wanted to plan a trip to Morocco as a family but there seemed endless obstacles- triangulating all 4 people's schedules, agreeing on adventure versus beach versus history and architecture as focus of the trip, time restraints and of course the unfamiliarity with culture and land. I had given up. Kiron worked with each of us, made brilliant recommendations, suited everyone's schedule, was sensitive to budget and worked diligently and promptly. She responded to my queries within minutes.
And we ended up with a trip of a lifetime. From recommending that we register with the Department of State, to providing detailed instructions on cultural sensitivity and tips for foreign tourists to reminding us about finer details, she did it all! We are fairly well travelled, having travelled with A & K, Big Five, Celebrity and many self directed tours, but she made this trip special and comfortable.
We were met by local guide and driver, driven around in a brand new Mercedes van, pampered like babies. We stopped wherever for a quick hike, visited Berber markets and walked the grand bazaar in Marrakech and the city of Fes with a very knowledgable guide!
The Riads- Moroccan homes as they are referred to- were amazing: in Fes we had carefully appointed rooms, rooftop breakfast, perfect air conditioning, dining by the water fountain! In Marrakech, the palace of an Italian prince, now a well known Riad , also the home of finest Moroccan Chef was a remarkable 3 day stay. Extensive breakfast selections by the pool. impeccable service, the whole nine yards!
And now the Wow's! Having been picked up in 4x4 at the southern tip of Morocco, a few miles from Algerian border and driving through dunes, to be welcomed by fresh Moroccan cocktail, a fire-pit in a desert encampment with fine Moroccan wine, personalized dinner under the Saharan sky and crisp white linens, and best of all, sleeping on heavenly beds under the Saharan stars, OUTDOOR, as in, under the stars, with wind blowing all night, and a Camel ride at 4:30 AM to dunes for a breathtaking Sunrise- compares to swimming with the sea lions in Galapagos, or the animal migration in Kenya!
Kiron, you rock! You made it special, affordable and pampered us like babies. By day 2, I took off my thinking hat and was perfectly happy being herded by the carefully planned, thoughtfully orchestrated trip that she planned for us!
Definitely a repeat trip is coming!! "
- Drs. Sandeep & Pam Khosla
"The Alaskan cruise on Celebrity Millennium was the perfect fit for our family. Everything that Kiron set up for us was perfect. She listened to our requests and provided more than we asked for. Including the weather! I would definitely use her again when planning a big international trip or stateside. She is a true professional and very knowledgeable. Thanks again for the memories."
-Carol Ecklund
"Bora Bora!! --Water in seven shades of blue and endless white sand beaches with over water bungalows . Only problem was that was ALL I knew ! I called Kiron and within days she had it all taken care of --hotel , transfers ,activities and every other exquisite detail . It was a painless process and she anticipated all our needs -- some we did not even know we had . It was the most wonderful and relaxing vacation we have ever had in large part due to Kiron's travel expertise . It was helpful to work with someone who was familiar with the Tahitian islands. She was especially sensitive to our very tight schedule . I will definitely be using Concierge Vacations again!"
