Journee 115 Coventry Road, London E2 6GG

"Had a great solo trip with Journee to Split, Croatia. Fun clues before departure and great service from the company. Very personal. Good excursions which suit my interests. I thought the trip was quite expensive for a cheap destination, but after my trip, I received a refund for the budget not spent. Definitely good value for money."

"Journee came back with a whole trip planned very quickly (within a day)! We didn't end up booking but amazed at their speed and ability to plan really interesting holidays."

"One word: Incredible! You must give them a go. I'm sure you'll be just as surprised and thrilled as we were! I discovered Journee on Instagram and was drawn in by the Postcard Reveals from other people and their Insta stories in beautiful destinations. I knew I wanted to surprise my fiancé for his birthday, as he had treated and surprised me for our engagement, so what better way than to try something completely different and out of our comfort zones. From the first email exchange to landing back in London after our mystery trip, Sophie and her team were so efficient and so organised! Nearly everything was planned and booked for us. The flights, accommodation, transfer and activities. Journee write up a proposal (holiday itinerary) that they think you’ll love, which you can amend if you want and they even send you a link that takes you to your customised Journee Passport with organised tabs including: a count down until you leave, flight details, travel requirements, the latest weather in your mystery country, what to pack and documents needed etc. I mean what an amazing idea to not only have everything in one place, but everything done and organized for you! You needn't do anything, just sit back and wait for you mystery trip. You can choose what kind of schedule, slow or fast paced or in-between. I chose in-between, the perfect balance. We could choose where to eat and still make it to the extraordinary tours and sites that Journee chose for us. After I'd filled in a quick questionnaire on their site and exchanged emails to find the perfect mystery trip, Sophie had planned an amazing proposal for me. Some of the things I'd never have thought of, like a wonderful relaxing, romantic spa experience and a home cooked four course meal by a local chef, María in her own house! I was actually rather nervous at first about the idea of not knowing where we would be going, but Journee were ever so reassuring and encouraging. They were always fast with replies to any questions I had (without revealing the location of course) and sent clues every week. Our accommodation was more residential than a commercial hotel, in a perfect location, quiet, yet right in the town centre. They had booked us a comfortable room with a living area that had a pull back ceiling to reveal the stars! What a wonderful surprise! I'd never have known a room to exist like it. Without spoiling it too much, Journee took us to Seville and Cordoba, two cities we wouldn't have thought to travel to and we fell in love with the culture, history, architecture, food and locals. Our home cooked dinner at Seville’s local resident, María Elena Del Torno Miguel’s home was such a delight! I honestly would never have thought, let alone known how to find a trustworthy chef to cook and entertain us in their home. She was so welcoming and friendly. María had made her dining room into a dimly lit, romantic setting for us. She told us a bit about herself and her family, while leaving us with Spanish music as she brought in delicious smelling home cooked traditional family recipes. We exchanged culture talks and invited her to cheers or should I say ‘Salud!’ She taught us a longer version, but I’ll leave that a secret. She has a beautiful home, which was all decorated for Christmas and we were fortunate enough to have our photo with her to keep the memories! So from a warm welcome, to great hospitality and tasty food and drinks, we also gained a new friend :). What a trip! Journee were right, we didn't want to leave and I already want to do it all over again! I would definitely recommend Journee to anyone looking for an adventure. We will definitely arrange another mystery trip with them again in the future. We have told all our friends and family who were uncertain at the idea at first, as most people want to know where they are going, but hearing about what a fantastically organised mystery holiday we had thanks to Journee, they are interested in the idea!"
