    One of the best tour groups you will ever be with. Everything is planned for you so you don’t have to worry. The trips are scheduled perfectly with excursions, entertainment, and enough down time that you don’t feel over stressed. Just enjoy your adventure and let Michael and Patty take care of you.

    Team of h&w that gave us experience of lifetime in South Africa. They have incredible team of guides. My wife thought our best vacation ever.

    Our first experience with a group tour took us to South Africa with Patty and Michael of ChmieBell Tours.
    What a fantastic experience from the beginning to the end. The open communication, the immersive itineraries, the genuine congenial relationships with their South African partners: transportation crew, game guides, and accommodation staff all underscored the feeling of family.
    This was a trip of a lifetime; we signed up as tourists but became travelers!

    Just returned from a very memorable trip to S Africa with Chmiebell. The trip was well planned. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Patty and Michael were on top of everything. They made us feel like part of the family. Can’t wait to travel with them again!

    I recently returned from my 2nd trip with ChmieBell, the first was domestic and this most recent overseas. ChmieBell is top notch. They took care of all the planning so I could enjoy myself and my time seeing the key sights. Every part of the trips have been thoughtfully planned out, from the knowledgeable local tour guides, timing of the trip to be there for the current festivals, menu choices, and to the locations of the hotels you stay at.

    They provided detailed daily itinerary's so you know exactly what the plans were. Even added surprise stops that weren't on the itinerary when those opportunities arose.

    Patty and Michael make you feel like you're one of the family. Joining you on those longer hikes that you really want to reach but don't want to be the only one to go.

    Michael even waited and ultimately ran through the airport with me while Patty held the plane to make sure every last guest was accounted for, due to my unexpected random security search.

    Already have another tour planned and continually watch their website for possibly more fun with ChmieBell Tours in the future.

    First trip with ChmieBell in June 2023. Have already sent in deposits for two future trips. Not a worry about anything and Michael and Patty were available at all times if anyone needed anything.
    Its nice to have someone else do all the planning!

    This was my second trip with them. Have my first over seats trip in a few months.
    It is great having people I trust handle everything. I know I will enjoy myself and always have them watching my back.

    I have traveled with them 6 trips. Everyone has been wonderful. I have traveled with other tour companies but Chmiebell Tours are like traveling with family or best friends. It is nice to have tour directors that also own the business. Patty and Michael are the best. Have 2 more trips planned for this year with them

    This was our third trip with Chmiebell Tours with a few more planned for this year. It's a good feeling to know we never have to 'plan' another adventure. Patty & Michael put everything together from the beginning to the end. All we have to do now is pack. It truly is a no worry way to travel!

    ?????Our travel experience with Chmibell Tours was very professional, very well planned out and seamless. We always felt safe and understood what was next. We came as a group and stayed as a group. It's so nice to know that we never have to 'plan' another trip. We're leaving that task up to Chmibell Tours now!
