Premier Tours

Premier Tours could not have done a better job of planning out our honeymoon to Cape Town, Franschhoek, Botswana, and Zimbabwe! We worked with Christian who put together the perfect itinerary based on everything we wanted to see and accomplish while we were there, and it could not have gone smoother. Our guide in Cape town was outstanding. She could not have been more friendly and passionate about South Africa and helped planned our activities based on everything we were interested in. This set the trip off to a terrific start! From there we were greeted at every turn by our guides who helped assist with anything we needed. We were fully supported through every flight drop off/pick up, customs, airports, transfers, and activities. This made the entire honeymoon experience completely stress free and safe (we have never felt safer on a trip in our entire life).

Christian also put together the most beautiful hotels and safari lodges we have ever stayed in with little surprises along the way to celebrate our honeymoon like champagne in our room and romantic dinners. The staff at these lodges and hotels always knew our name, were very friendly, and went above and beyond to make it the best experience each time.

We were able to experience all kinds of safaris as well and saw more game than we could ever imagine. Camp Okavango provided water and walking safaris while Moremi provided a more traditional safari in the jeep. The guides here were extremely knowledgeable. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we cannot thank Christian and Premier Tours enough for this experience. If you are looking to plan your next trip, then you have come to the right place!

We just came home from a FABULOUS South Africa (Cape Town & Cape Winelands), Victoria Falls & Botswana Safari arranged by Premier Tours! Everything was so professional & perfect! Oh, and by the way...we saw so many animals (ruined us for going to a zoo!). Each of our Safari Camps was unique and special in all their own ways. Trip of a Lifetime for sure! Thanks, Premier Tours (Julian & Lisa!!)🐆🐘🦁🦓

We worked with Christian Harrison who listened to what we were interest in and sketched out a tour. We came back with a few tweaks and then he booked it. We were 18 days in Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Botswana and Namibia. We were a little nervous but Christian provided us with an amazing app that contained all the relevant documents and itinerary day by day. If anything had gone wrong (which it didn’t) we would have had contact info right at hand to fix things. All the lodges were top notch and we concur with the exemplary personal service and lovely details. We went to see the animals and we were abundantly rewarded.

Premier Tours was absolutely PHENOMENAL to work with for our honeymoon! We worked directly with Christian who took the time to listen to what we wanted out of our trip and what was most important to us in regard to what we do and see while we were there. He completely nailed it, to say the least.

Christian created the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation for our trip. We toured Cape Town, explored the winelands, and we were set up with the most beautiful lodges for our safaris. Every detail was planned out for us, making our part in this process extremely easy. Christian has been to South Africa multiple times, visiting every lodge we stayed at which made us feel comfortable knowing he’s seen exactly where we would be staying and has been on every game drive we’d be doing as well. Additionally, Christian set up small surprises for us as a newlywed couple, like romantic dinners and private lunches. The most commonly asked question I’ve received is related to safety- I’ve never felt more safe and attended on a trip. We traveled to Cape Town, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and through every little drive, plane ride, and airport, we were fully supported. We always had someone with us to get us through customs, make sure we got on the correct plane, and ensured we got through the country borders with everything we needed. It truly was the smoothest vacation I’ve ever been on, making our experience stress free and easy.

Every lodge we stayed at was absolutely stunning- we met the most wonderful people and staff. Every staff member knew us by name and was so gracious and kind. I got to have conversations with so many of them, making our experience so welcoming and intimate. The lodges were absolutely beautiful as well and had absolutely AMAZING food and drink. My husband is also a huge runner, and they accommodated him for any run he needed to take (they drove next to him while he ran in Zimbabwe- it was amazing and so kind!) The entire trip was nothing more than magical, and Christian from premier tours took care of everything for us, from flights to daily activities.

I cannot recommend Premier Tours enough- it was the most beautiful trip of our lives and I cannot wait to go back again, and have Christian plan the whole thing!

Our trip to South Africa and Namibia was incredible! Thank you to Christian and the team at Premier Tours for an unforgettable adventure. From the moment we arrived in Africa, everything was seamless, and the perfect fit for our family. We loved the hotels, the safari, our tour guide, etc. Thank you!

Our honeymoon experience with Premier Tours was fantastic - they set up the entire travel experience for us & we could follow with an easy-to-read app, along with planning an itinerary that suited our needs. Thank you to Christian and the full staff for their help!

Premier Tours was a perfect partner to help us plan our first trip to Africa! A huge thank you to Julian and Lisa and the team for bringing their expertise to planning the perfect trip for me and my three daughters (ages 14, 22 and 24). We gave them our "wish list" and they came back quickly with a fabulous itinerary. Cape Town, Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), and three Desert & Delta camps with different ecosystems in Botswana. Each stop offered an opportunity to experience such an incredible part of the world, and to meet really interesting people. And the animals! Thank you thank you Premier for planning our trip.

Christian and his team created a magical tour of South Africa for us. Our group of 19 took airplances, buses, a boat, and a train to nearly every corner of this fascinating country. Every connection was seemless. Christian and his team on the ground worked tirelessly to professionally take care of every detail. The result was the trip of a life time! I look forward to asking them to coordinate our next trip to Africa.

I cannot say enough good things about Premier Tours and Christian Harrison - organized, responsive, friendly, knowledgeable! I used Premier Tours in 2017 for a trip and of course came right back to them for a group trip I was organizing in 2023, and I was not disappointed.

Just got back from South Africa and Botswana! We put our full faith in Premier Tours ; Philadelphia, Pa who exceeded any expectation we had going in! Christian put together a great itinerary which included some off the beaten path gems! The trip was very well organized and all of the folks that Christian lined up were there for us and provided excellent service . I would highly recommend this company for a trip to Africa !

Thank you, Christian, for helping us have such a wonderful experience in South Africa. I enjoyed all the tours and was relaxed in knowing that everything was well organized and in good hands! Grazie!

Every single day of our honeymoon was a dream. I could not have asked for a better itinerary and planning experience with Christian. When you are planning a wedding it’s hard to set aside time for the honeymoon but with premier tours you don’t have to worry about a thing. After one call it was like Christian read our minds and came up with a perfect plan for our trip to South Africa and Botswana. His suggestions were spot on and he helped us navigate packing and planning for our first safari which would have been very intimidating on our own. Jackie from Wilro Cape tours made our trip unforgettable and she worked with us to make sure we saw and did everything we set out too. It was so great to be able to have her with us for the Cape Town portion of our trip. She’s also from the Franshhoek area and had wonderful suggestions on where to go! Dessert and Delta Safaris in Botswana were unbelievably nice and knowledgeable. Our safari was better than we could have imagined from start to finish. We will be using and recommending premier tours again!

I cannot say enough about a Premier Tours, Julian and especially Lisa Cara. They booked our once in a lifetime trip to Africa. They booked the game reserve, safari, flights and side excursions through 4 countries. The companies they book through in Africa were fantastic. The hotels and lodges were beautiful. Our guides and drivers were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating and made sure that our comfort was their only priority. Our itinerary was well planned and the communication was excellent. Our friends had some flight issues with British Airways. They cancelled their flight out of the US and then were on strike and cancelled their return flight back at the last minute. Lisa worked after hours to ensure that they were booked on other flights. Not an easy task as there were many people looking to rebook flights. Lisa was able to book the last 2 seats to ensure our friends were able to join us on time. I totally recommend Premier Tours if you are looking to book any African adventure.

They have planned 3 safaris for us and everything was amazing. Steve has given us such great service and trips that we now compare all other travel to premier and nothing measures up.
