Winkaffe Global Travel planned our elopement and did an amazing job. They paid attention to every detail so all we had to do was enjoy.
Really an exceptional experience. Kristin really understood what we were looking for and executed it.
When my partner and I started planning our honeymoon, we knew we wanted to go on an African safari filled with luxury and unique experiences, but didn't have much of an idea beyond...
that. We decided to go with Winkaffe Global Travel like 5 minutes into the initial conversation wit Kristin because she was so friendly and knowledgeable, an clearly incredibly passionate about what she does. It was absolutely the best choice we could've made for such a special trip.
Kristin was all about making our trip special from the get-go. She really got what we were after and put together a plan that hit the mark perfectly and even added in amazing experiences that we would never have come up with. We started out in South Africa and visited the wine town of Franschhoek as well as Cape Town. In Franschhoek, we stayed in the most amazing places. Think top-notch luxury, but still with that cozy, at-home feel. It was the perfect mix of fancy living and the gorgeous scenery of the vineyards. In Cape Town, we got to see the city in style. Kristin hooked us up with the coolest spot to stay and arranged activities that let us really get the feel of the place while still keeping things exclusive and private, just like we wanted.
The real adventure kicked in when we got to Zimbabwe and Botswana, and it was nothing like I ever imagined. It was wild, for sure, but with all the comforts you can think of. Kristin made sure we worked with safari companies that do right by the environment and the animals, which made the experience feel even better. The lodges we stayed in were out of this world – right in the middle of nature but with all the luxury you could wish for. Kristin also threw in some awesome surprises along the way, like a private dinner under the stars and little gifts to celebrate our marriage. It was those little things that made us feel like we were seriously royalty.
Kristin and her team went above and beyond for us, and you can't go wrong with them. They're the real deal.
Going with Winkaffe Global Travel for our honeymoon? Best. Decision. Ever. We had the time of our lives in Chile, all thanks to Kristin and her crew.
We kicked things off in the A...
tacama Desert at Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa. This place was unreal – think jaw-dropping desert views and staff who couldn't do enough for you. Kristin hooked us up with a private stargazing night that was super romantic and just amazing.
Next up was Santiago, where we stayed at The Singular Santiago. This place was a slice of heaven in the city. Kristin recommended the rooftop bar for dinner, and wow, those city lights! She also set us up with a city tour that got us up close and personal with Santiago's street art which was so cool - we even got to create our own spray paint masterpieces!
Then came Patagonia, where we stayed at Awasi Patagonia, right in the middle of a nature reserve. Our own villa looked right out onto Torres del Paine National Park – talk about a room with a view! Kristin planned all these cool private trips for us, and even surprised us with a picnic in the most picture-perfect spot.
Our last stop was Colchagua Valley, staying at Viña Vik Millahue. It was all about the wine here. Kristin arranged some top-notch wine tastings and a private dinner in the vineyard. It was the perfect end to an already amazing trip.
And the personal touches! We had these cool welcome gifts at every hotel and never had to worry about getting around. It felt like Kristin knew exactly what we'd want and made it happen.
100/10 - I definitely recommend Winkaffe Global Travel for your honeymoon. Big thanks to Kristin for the adventure of a lifetime.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Kristin and Winkaffe Global Travel to plan our honeymoon. Kristin took the time to understand our preferences and tastes, and it was evide...
nt in the hotel and activity suggestions she provided. Every recommendation was spot on, and we were able to enjoy our honeymoon to the fullest because of it.
One of the things that stood out the most was the thoughtful touches she added to our experience. Upon our arrival at our destination, we were welcomed with a handwritten note and a selection of delicious local candies. It was a small gesture, but it made us feel incredibly special and set the tone for the rest of our trip. But the cherry on top has to have been checking the mini-bar after a long day and finding it stocked with one of our favorite snacks. We had casually mentioned it during one of our calls with Kristin, and she remembered and made it happen. I can't even describe how blown our minds were by that.
We will definitely be working with Kristin again for all of our future trips.
From the moment we started working with Kristin and Sam we knew we were in good hands. The first call was eye-opening; Kristin took the time to understand what we wanted and began ...
to outline a plan that was both special and tailored to us.
The trip plan was a perfect mix of creativity and local insight. We felt like we were getting an authentic experience, not just a standard tourist package. From private meals in quiet settings to special tours of lesser-known attractions, every aspect was well thought out and executed to perfection. We also felt really good knowing that our trip was also benefiting the local communities and respecting the culture of the places we visited.
The customer service was top-notch. Kristin and her team were always ready to accommodate, making sure our honeymoon was not just a trip, but a truly memorable experience. We can't thank Winkaffe Global Travel enough for planning a honeymoon that went beyond our expectations.

ning and she brought it to life with very little effort from us. It was such a huge relief to have something off of my plate because planning the wedding was stressful enough on its own. Our trip was perfect and exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend hiring Kristin for your honeymoon or any trip!
10/10 - would recommend.
Weddings are stressful, and I didn't want the honeymoon to be stressful too. I talked to a few different travel agents and Kristin blew me away with her d...
esire to get to know me and my partner and her destination information and connections. I was only a little hesitant to hire her because she charged a fee when some of the others I talked to offered their services for free. She explained to me why she charges a fee, and that it helps her get paid for her work so she is focused on planning the best trip for me, not on getting the biggest commissions for herself. And let me tell you, the trip planning fee was totally worth it. She planned the most amazing trip that was better than I could have envisioned myself, and we more than made back the fee in upgrades, resort credits, spa credits, free drinks and meals, the works. We literally felt like royalty at every hotel we went to.. it was incredible! It also was just nice to know that she was focused on what we wanted, rather than what she was getting paid. If you are on the fence about hiring a travel agent, just do it, you won't regret it!
My wife planned our whole wedding, and I was in charge of the honeymoon. I was worried about making sure everything was perfect (my wife is very particular about hotels, and trave...
l in general) and spent a ton of time researching before realizing I was way out of my depth. We were planning an African safari and there were just way too many things to choose from. Hiring Winkaffe Global Travel was the best decision, and my wife could not have been happier with the result. We did a combo of South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana and stayed in the most incredible camps with fantastic guides and delicious food. We felt taken care of the whole way through - from planning, to the trip itself, to our return home.
If you are planning a honeymoon, you need to hire Winkaffe Global Travel!
We hired Kristin to plan our honeymoon to Thailand last year. The whole trip was spectacular! 10/10 - totally recommend
We were hesitant about hiring a travel advisor to plan our honeymoon. We are frequent travelers so didn't think we needed it. However with all of the stress and planning for the ...
wedding, we just didn't have the energy to give the honeymoon the attention it deserved, so we hired Kristin from Winkaffe Global Travel, and we are so glad we did! She took all the stress and effort out of planning, and crafted the perfect itinerary for us. When we arrived to the hotel they welcomed us with drinks, courtesy of Kristin, and even gave us a free upgrade to the honeymoon suite! I cannot recommend Kristin enough!
Kristin was AMAZING! She planned our honeymoon in Italy from start to finish, and everything was perfect. We didn't want to do the traditional tourist stuff (Rome, Venice, Floren...
ce) so she recommended places that we had never heard of or considered and they were all AMAZING. Hotels, Activities, Restaurants, etc were perfect.
