    This was my first trip with MG and we traveled to ****** together. ***** was our travel coordinator for the trip. She was friendly , took great photos and videos to document the trip and kept everyone engaged. We had a group event in ****** for axe throwing. In hindsight, it would have been nice to arrive earlier and explore more of ******. The drive to ************ was beautiful; just seeing all the snow. We walked around, went *** riding, snow tubing and on a sleigh ride with dinner. Because it took a while to get to the location for the sleigh ride and to the location for the *** ride, we didn't have time for skiing/snowboarding. Looking back, it would have been better to have events at Keystone or closer so we could have had time for skiing and snowboarding.Overall, I had a great experience with MG and met some really good people. MG is a great company and I will certainly travel with them again.

    Trip of a lifetime!The whole experience from beginning to end was cohesive and painless. As a thorough trip planner, it felt so nice to let someone else take the reins. Excellent communication throughout the whole process helped me feel at ease at all times. The trip itself was very well organized and fun. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. A couple more days added to the itinerary wouldve been nice as the days were typically so planned out theres not enough leisure time if you dont want to miss out. Other than that, I have no complaints. The coordinator for this trip, ****** couldnt have been better. She was in a constant chipper mood, accommodating, adventurous and patient. What more could you ask for in a guide and leader?I look forward to booking more trips. Id go anywhere in the world with Melanin Globe!

    We love to see reviews like this! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback about your recent experience in ********! Were so happy that you had a wonderful expense with your travel coordinator and enjoyed your tours. We have to agree, ******** could definitely be a 14 day experience, its so much to see and do. We hope youll consider this trip again, one with a completely different itinerary! We hope to see you again. -Melanin Globe Team

    Melanin Globe is absolutely the best decision I've made for travel in a long time. I have now experience a Cultural Immersion and a Leisure trip and loved them both. Being able to travel abroad to my bucket list destinations with no worries or concerns makes things so much easier. There is always a coordinator on the trips and the groups are small. You may not know everyone when you leave, but you definitely get the opportunity to make new travel friends/family. I appreciate process of booking with MG. From the email blasts, to the monthly payment plans all the way to the detailed information and chat groups this company has figured out how to take the stress out of international travel.

    As I 21 year Veteran and a single traveler safety and professionalism are my top priorities. One of many amazing aspects of this company in addition to always feeling safe and dealing with professional well knowledgeable Coordinators is that the cost is unbeatable! As someone on a fixed income I can enjoy traveling the world with their easy NO interest monthly payments. There is no reason a person cant travel! Melaninglobe takes all of the stress, long nights researching and unknown certainties about foreign countries out of traveling. I love showing up to the airport with my tshirts (which are included) knowing all of my details are already thought out for their Cultural Emersion Tours. To be honest they have me spoiled. I dread making travel plans now without them. If youre looking to travel with a group or alone I highly highly recommend Melaninglobe

It is a pleasure to service you on your trips, and we cant wait to host you again in 2023! In the meantime , please stay safe. See you soon! Melanin Globe Team

    Melanin Globe is a premier travel group. During both of my trips to ***** and *****, the accommodations were top notch. I appreciate their attention to detail when planning accommodations, excursions and sizes of the group. On the ***** trip, our coordinator -******* was involved in every instance and attentive to our needs, as a group and as individuals. I will travel with Melanin Globe again!

    This was one of the best trips I have ever been on. From coordinator Ms ******* to the bus driver it was great. All the events were great wish there was a ***** 2 where new events are done since I did this one. Lulu **** guide made the **** glorious. This is my second trip with melanin Globe and it keeps getting better. I was nervous about the trip because im plus size women but that was not even a thought thanks to ******* and ***. They made me comfortable and pump me up when I need without make a big deal and that ment the world to me. I was just like the other ladies having fun. The ladies in my group o I have no words for how bless I felt being in group with them. The level of power, beauty, intelligence and love not be measured these women are wonderful. I can not wait till my next trip.

    From ****** to *****, youve been on a roll! Thank you for trusting Melanin Globe, again, with another group travel experience. Were happy to hear that your on-site coordinator and tour guide made you feel comfortable, along with your travel mates. This is the kind of feedback we strive for, and the service we always hope to provide. We look forward to reuniting with you for trip 3, soon. In the meantime, please take care of yourself, and stay safe. MG

    This was my first time traveling with Melanin Globe. Let me just say my trip to ***** with Melanin Globe was simply AMAZING, absolutely INCREDIBLE and a ADVENTURE that I will not forget. Melanin Globe surpassed my expectations and I will definitely be traveling again with my TRIBE SISTERS in the future. THANK YOU ******* for your PROFESSIONALISM, KINDNESS and PATIENCE.

    Just wanted to say the first time ive ever purchased travel insurance was with MG (my family might have previously as we use to cruise alot) but it's so important. I was the I know I'll be going unless I die but booking my first trip with MG was for **** group 3 in Sept 2020 right in the pandemic and it was a destination that was delayed multiple times. MG kept us aware and communicated thru the entire process. Being a ** residence the state doesn't offer CFAR insurance, it's an add on the policies they have and you have to do so within 14 -21 days . Ive been using travel guard knows as *** travel to some. My experience hasn't been horrible but you have to have patience and stick with the process. With the way the world is these days it can take months. I've been on 3 trips with MG but 6 booked and I had to use my travel insurance 3 times unfortunately. I've canceled 1 trip due to my children, they canceled 1 trip due to low volume and I've had a trip interruption for a mommy and me trip; all in 2022 spring time. This week after canceling a last minute trip in April I received my $200 check which was 50% penalty for CFAR. I also received a credit back back my card this week of $53.58 for a policy premium I no longer needed for a trip MG canceled. That's a 6 month process and I'm still battling with the trip interruption from March that requires a lot of back and forth documents however the point is the coverage is needed so when MG saids get your CFAR insurance please do. I'm excited to check out their recommendation for Allianz the travel insurance company they are partnering with!Happy travel can't wait to pull off in 2023 to ********* with MG! I have my CFAR also for that trip too! You never knew! HAPPY TRAVELS!

    This was my first time; 3rd attempt of traveling with Melanin Globe and it will not be my last. The first two times were hindered at the height of Covid. My trip to ****** and ***** was phenomenal! I went as a solo traveler and met some wonderful women along the way. ****** , our coordinator, was professional and friendly. She made sure everyone was accountable and taken care of. ********** from the meeting at the airport, to the selected hotels, tours and guides were extremely organized, centrally located to all city sights, comfortable and beautiful. This will definitely not be my last trip! Wonderful job **** & the Melanin Globe Team!!!!
