Client stories

Trusted for decades of travel

Real feedback from travellers who plan with XL Highway Travel consultants across South Africa.

★★★★★
“Someone looking after you when you travel is priceless. Alison of Highway Travel - you are a superstar. From a wonderful holiday in Thailand with everything running like clockwork a month ago, to yesterday’s fiasco with Garnet’s British visa confirmation arriving 20 minutes before check-in closed. You were truly professional and objective throughout an incredibly stressful day. We are so grateful for holding it all together until the very last minute - I can’t sing your praises loud enough. We were the last ones on the plane, but we made it.”
