Once again Hermes pulled together a truly memorable experience for a group of dear friends to enjoy. Well done Hermes.
"
If you're looking for a trip worth remembering, you just can't beat traveling with Kyle. Kyle knows all about the local history, gossip, great places to dine and the exact spot to let your hair down and have some fun!
"
We are very happy to have travelled with Hermes Holidays many times. All have been superbly planned and executed with absolute excellence, but there was something even more special about the Rose Royale. Thanks Kyle and Wayne for the BEST time together!
"
I'm heading home with a full heart after the most unforgettable Hermes Holidays experience. From the moment I booked, Kyle made everything so easy and thoughtful. Nothing was ever too much trouble. My only regret is not booking sooner… I'm already dreaming of my next Hermes holiday ✨❤️
"
Kyle, your knowledge and passion for the history of Europe really showed today. The background you gave on the way to Toledo made it even more special. I truly had no idea how significant this place is in History. Looking forward to our next tour in a few days!
"
The Rosé Royale delivered an experience that was both luxurious and deeply personal. It wasn't just a trip. It was a celebration of beauty, culture, and connection. I left with sun-kissed skin, a full heart, and memories I'll treasure forever.
"
This is my third fabulous tour with Hermes Holidays. I say each time "this holiday can't be topped". The accommodation, inclusions, tours, food and wine are all sublime, but what makes Hermes truly a cut above is the people.
"
My wife and I were newbies to Hermes Holidays; we were welcomed with open arms by Kyle, Wayne and all our fellow travellers. What an experience! So much thought and detail went into 12 days of luxury travel. All we needed to do was relax and enjoy the experience.
"
If anyone is ever looking to connect with some amazing people from around the globe, adventure together and create friends for life you need to join this amazing crew on our next Hermes Holidays tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first Hermes luxury holiday. Kyle has curated a fabulous taste of Tuscany with touring town highlights, spectacular sights, exquisite wine tastings, fun experiences and the friendliest family of travellers to enjoy it all with.
"
I can’t thank these guys enough. 10 out of 10 for customer service and for simply being two of the most approachable and friendly guys I’ve ever met! Looking forward to my next adventure! I’ll definitely be using Hermes Holidays again.
"
Just finished another fantastic holiday with Hermes holidays, Taste of Tuscany! I have traveled with Kyle many times in the past because he always delivers on a 5 star experience where everything is taken care of and all you have to do is relax and have the best holiday.
"
We've been lucky to have enjoyed Hermes Holidays trips with Kyle and Wayne since 2015 and know we are always going to be totally looked after with unforgettable food, accommodation and experiences with the best group of friendly people.
"
If I was to describe one word of my experience of the Taste of Tuscany, it would be Exceptional. I had the pleasure of experiencing my very first Hermes Holiday on the Dalmatian Dream in 2023, and it blew me away. Thank you again gents, I'll see you on the next one.
"
Hermes Holidays Dalmatian Dream was exactly that – a dream. I cannot speak highly enough about the whole experience and would recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever.

A dream holiday in every sense of the word. The attention to detail was beyond compare. The trip was planned to the most minute detail and all the guests had to do was be there, relax, and enjoy themselves and that is exactly what we did.
"
We enjoyed an exceptional tour (Dalmatian Dream) with Hermes Holidays in 2022. Great sightseeing, luxe accommodation, stunning cruise, wonderful day tours, and all the fellow travellers were super friendly and lots of fun. Can’t wait for the next adventure!
"
We have now traveled twice on a Hermes Holidays organised tour and both times we have been blown away by the experience. Kyle and Wayne over delivered and exceeded our expectations whether it was the accommodation, the itinerary, or the experiences- we had too much fun!!
"
Our second Hermes Holiday vacation just ended in Croatia and it was EPIC! The Dalmatian Dream was exactly that, a dream. We didn't have to think about a thing! What an amazing trip and we highly recommend booking your next holiday with Hermes Holidays.

I was lucky enough to have experienced my 4th holiday with Hermes Holidays. Like all the previous luxury holidays Kyle and Wayne took care of all the details and all we had to do is relax and have fun!
"
Good friends of ours who traveled previously with Hermes Holidays asked, begged, then finally demanded that we join them for an amazing two-week vacation in Croatia… and we are so glad they did!!! What a trip!
"
Hermes Holidays is for the discerning traveler that expects nothing but the best... And is treated to nothing less than the best! Bravo Hermes!

We recently enjoyed the vacation of a lifetime with Hermes Holidays! We took an 8 day journey down the Rhine that departed Amsterdam and ended in Frankfurt, expertly planned by Hermes Holidays. Everything was perfection. We didn't have to think about a thing!
"
The 2019 Queen of the Rhine cruise by Hermes Holidays was one of the most memorable holidays I have been on. It exceeded all my expectations with perfectly curated tours, great boat, super fun parties and exceptional value. Can’t wait for the next one!
"
My husband and I were recommended this company by some very well traveled friends. We decided to join them on the Amsterdam to Frankfurt tour in August of 2019. From beginning to end the experience was amazing. I couldn't recommend them higher.
"
Hermes Holidays are a class act. Meticulously planned, great communication, brilliant itineraries... I was so happy to be on the 2019 Queen of the Rhine Cruise in August. WOW!!! Seven nights and seven days of adventure, fun, new friendships, parties, laughter.
"
We've thoroughly enjoyed several events with Hermes Holidays. Kyle and his team craft each event with thoughtfulness and care to ensure that guests receive maximum enjoyment. The depth of their experience comes through with each adventure. Cheers to Kyle and the team.
"
I traveled with Hermes Holidays on a River Boat cruise down the Rhine from Amsterdam to Frankfurt. This was my first time in Europe and it was absolutely a Phenomenal time. Kyle Olsen and Wayne B Clark were excellent hosts and we had a blast with them.
"
Kyle and his team did a phenomenal job of delivering a first class, fun, informative, and memorable experience. We couldn’t have been more impressed and pleased with this experience. Both the city tour and winery tours were big highlights of our Australia vacation.
"
What an amazing day! What an amazing City! What an amazing group of new friends to explore the city with! Very special Thanks to @hermesholidays for making this an exceptional experience!

Exceptional! We enjoyed two fabulous tours (Sydney City & Hunter Valley) over two days and had a ball! Our guide Kyle was extremely informative and entertaining to boot! If available, we can HIGHLY recommend a tour by Hermes Holidays.
"
I've had the pleasure to be part of 3 of Kyle's tours this holiday and have to say it was sensational! I can highly recommend his tours, 5 star rating all the way!!

I discovered Hermes Holidays through a Facebook group that Kyle had posted on for the Atlantis Cruise in the Mediterranean. I signed my friend and I up for every one that we could go on and were we so happy that we did!! Fun, FUN FUN!!!
"
We used Hermes Holiday as part of our Atlantis cruise in Barcelona and in Venice. Kyle was a great tour guide and his knowledge of Venice blew me away! He was very organized and made booking these excursions so easy! I will definitely be reaching out to them again for future travel!
"
I wish I could leave more stars!!! Kyle and his team provided an amazing tour in Barcelona!! Highly recommend and can't say enough thank yous! I look forward to a future Hermes Holidays tour in the future.
