It's Nice To Meet You

Dreaming of a perfect well-planned vacation, tailored- made just for you? I am here to help you with all travel arrangements, while you are busy packing your suitcases for the next trip.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ksenia - your Travel Designer in Dubai. I was born and raised in St. Petersburg, the cultural capital of Russia. Living in one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world, inspired me to choose my future profession - to become a Travel Advisor.

So my story started 15 years back, when I moved to Dubai from Russia, as a fresh graduate, following my career in the Travel and Hospitality industry. Dubai became my second home and opened new horizons for me. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I got great experience in the Travel industry as I learned from the best, working for world-famous hotel chains, and travel companies and for the past 5 years in award-winning Emirates airlines. I travelled to more than 25 countries and still discovering.

So what is different about my travel planning service?

1. Expert Advice & Customized itineraries
I do what I love - I design exclusive complex itineraries according to your budget and preferences. All my itineraries are unique and can not be found online. So If you are looking for example for a luxury getaway to the Maldives, an adventure trip to Zanzibar, a wellness retreat in Sri Lanka or family fun in Thailand, I will share with you my expert advice and recommendations.

2. Consultation & Guidance
It is always nicer to talk to a real person if you need a piece of advice on your visa requirements, cancellation and insurance policies. Furthermore, I will take the hassle of completing all that travel paperwork away to save you time.

3. Around the Clock Travel Support
With our 24/7 UK Duty Office for any emergency while travelling and my support - you are in safe hands. I will guide you from the moment of booking until you will happily come back home.

4. Attention to detail
This means you get the holiday that’s right for you, the best value and the ‘little extras’ that make all the difference - upgrade upon availability, special amenities for your occasions, early check-in/late checkout, etc

I will be more than happy to go the extra mile for you and make sure that your trip is just perfect.

Life is an adventure. So where will you go next?

Just came back from our Italian getaway. Our apartment in Rome was simply amazing — stylish, full of character, and absolutely spotless! The location couldn’t have been more perfect: right in the heart of the city, on a lively pedestrian street, yet completely quiet inside. Everything was thoughtfully equipped, and even the information provided by the host was detailed and helpful. Ksenia arranged it all perfectly — we couldn’t have wished for a better stay in Rome!

Our recent Umrah trip was a truly wonderful experience, and we owe much of it to Ksenia and her incredible team. Travelling with both elderly family members and young kids can often be quite the challenge, but Ksenia made the whole journey a breeze. Both hotels we stayed in were fantastic, conveniently located close to the holy mosques, and provided easy access for my parents. These thoughtful arrangements made our stay comfortable and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend Ksenia’s expertise for family trips to my colleagues and friends. Her team is simply exceptional, and we couldn't have asked for better assistance. Thank you, Ksenia, for making our pilgrimage so memorable and pleasant!

Our family safari in Kenya was truly an incredible experience! Thank you for suggesting those unique safari spots—lodges, lakes, and game reserves where we watched an array of animals including cheetahs, hippos, zebras, giraffes, and rhinos, along with a variety of birds. A major highlight was visiting the Masai Mara and exploring the local culture and traditions. I highly recommend this adventure to families seeking thrilling experiences!

Ksenia is such a lovely, great energy, positive & dedicated travel designer who will go above and beyond to find you the holiday suited to your requirements if not more! She was very patient, provided many hotel options for different countries for us, including flights & ensured the trip went smoothly and also kept reminding us constantly of pre-travel requirements before flying out which I greatly appreciate. We had a wonderful trip to the Maldives as a family and would definitely work with Ksenia again on future trips! Thank you, Ksenia!

Sent by Diliara N

We thank Ksenia for providing favorable prices for a hotel in the Maldives and for promptly receiving all the necessary information regarding our booking. The Sheraton Full Moon Resort & Spa is located 15 minutes from the airport by yacht, making it an attractive for those who are “first-time visitors” to the Maldives. But I would recommend taking hotels the farther from the airport, the better, as there are ideal wild reefs and a diverse underwater world. The hotel has an exciting children's club, where children hunt crabs, study sharks, paint coconuts - have fun time after the sea. The food is varied, the area is very green, the beach is indescribably beautiful. I don’t recommend buying souvenirs at the hotel; duty free in Male will have a huge selection from T-shirts to magnets. We ourselves decided to come from the hotel to the airport 5 hours before departure, left our suitcases in the storage room (7 dollars for one place), took a taxi to the center of Male (120 local rufiyaa) and there we already walked and bought souvenirs, which turned out to be not much cheaper , but we really liked and remembered the experience of visiting the capital of the Maldives. Beautiful country, we will come back again. Thank you.

Ksenia helped us to organize my Birthday celebration on Maldives (and I would like to mention that this was a very spontaneous and quick decision from our side).

Would like to say big thanks to Ksenia. She was very helpful and paid attention to the details of our requirements.

Ksenia, thank you! Our resort in Krabi was nice, I liked it. The weather was changeable, as it was the beginning of December, but we knew that rains were normal at that time of the year. It’s a plus that the hotel has a large swimming pool, so we enjoyed our time by the pool. Prices in Thailand are generally close to Dubai, especially in the hotel, but outside are a little lower. We took some excursions to explore the island as well. There is lots of greenery in Thailand, and nature is wonderful. Overall we enjoyed our trip, thanks for your help

We booked a trip with Ksenia to Maldives, Atmosphere Kanifushi, for 4 nights. The experience was fantastic, including service, hotel, transfer and food variety. I had to change my mind about the Maldives, because before that I didn’t consider it as an option to travel with kids. It was an all -inclusive plan and we couldn’t have wished for more. Some trips and all food and snacks were included in a price, which is very convenient with kids who are always hungry. The seaplane trip was another amazing experience. We enjoyed nature, bike rides, snorkeling and swimming. Highly recommend. It was a pleasure to work with Ksenia.

A colleague at work profoundly recommended Ksenia when I searched for a surprise getaway for my husband's birthday. It was our first experience with a Travel Counsellor. She was tolerant, attentive, informative and had even alternatives planned upon my requests, needs and budget. We selected Mysk Kingfisher, Kalba among many choices she presented at the time since we didn't want to travel outside of UAE with current travel constraints due to Covid-19 in many places; therefore, to find a cosy, quiet location near Dubai. Her recommendation was very sensible as we had to drive less than 2 hours from Dubai to reach Kalba. I obtained the best price compared with many websites with a half-board option, a full sea view plunged pool tent, and the place, service was unimaginable moreover, food was so delicious. We indeed gained a couple of Kilos during our seven nights staycation in the beautiful, quiet, calm Mysk Kingfisher, Kalba. My husband exclusively enjoyed his 43rd birthday, and Ksenia had even organised a surprise cake without extra cost. We certainly look forward to booking with her again.

Thank you, Ksenia! It was a long-awaited family mini-vacation in Fujairah! We loved our staycation in Le Meridien Al Aqah! The resort was very nice, the food delicious and the service at a good level. The only thing - I wish the kids club would be working, but unfortunately it was still closed due to the precaution measures. Anyway, my kid had loads of fun at the playground, on the beach, jumping on the waves and enjoying the Ocean. We even escaped the Dubai heat - in Fujairah, it was a bit cooler! All in all, it was a great time! Looking forward to booking with you again! Thanks a lot!

The hotel has very good facilities for kids, our two little ones spent the whole day in the pool. Great kids shallow pool and that splash/sprinklers area, they were super happy… and so the parents. Food was delicious, breakfasts and dinner very-very good! Great place for families with kids. Also, the hotel has very spacious rooms and bathrooms, so lots of places..just for next time we will choose a pool/sea view room as the road view was a bit noisy from the cars….

Ksenia, we had just an amazing stay! Great hotel, very big facilities, right on the beach, perfect location. Nothing was missed. That was one of the best staycations we had and I’m sure we will be back in a new season- kids were over the moon, so much water play for them! There was a water slide, even my kids are too small for it, but they spent lots of time in that shallow pool. Another kids pool with waterfall, and one more kid's shallow pool with sprinkler…. Plus, seawater pool! also, there was a bouncing trampoline on the beach, so you imagine how busy my kids were! The food was good, we went only to a buffet restaurant as it was easy for us to feed kids. And the best choice was the ground floor room. Thank you for that option! We were just walking out of the garden door straight to the restaurant or beach/pool, very easy and comfortable. Thank you again! We will be back soon...

We went for a 4 nights trip to Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives. Didn’t expect a trip to leave such an impression on me! Everything was well organized and was completely trouble-free. The moment you step on the island, you feel like you are in a different world. On one side the Indian Ocean with all its power and waves and on the other picture like turquoise waters and white sand... staff is very friendly and always ready to help: from dinner or activities reservations to COVID tests and seaplane arrangements. We literally had to just text on WhatsApp. We went with our 9year old daughter who had a blast. We snorkelled, saw dolphins, sharks and turtles, went on a sea sunset cruise, a fishing trip and used jet ski. Resort as well offers a variety of restaurants for any taste, from international, Mediterranean to Japanese, Sri Lankan, BBQ or seafood- anything for any taste buds. And one of the things which I will truly miss is falling asleep at night on the sounds of waves crashing the shore and rain...Thank you, Ksenia for everything!

Sri Lanka is an amazing country both for beach and active vacation. You combined leisure and adventure perfectly - sightseeing in Colombo and Kandy, beach time at Tangalle and Bentota, Yala National Park Safari, Whale Watching trip, Udawalawe Elephant Orphanage visit and much more. Even though we were not able to visit all the places from our bucket list, we were not disappointed- it motivated us to come back to Sri Lanka again (hopefully in the nearest future). I would like to thank your trusted local partners in Sri Lanka as well. Our Russian speaking guide was great!

My son got so happy to find chocolate cake and the balloons from you for his 5th Birthday once we entered the room. We had a great family pool time and got much needed relaxation. Kids are very excited about staycation and already asking where we are going next:) So many emotions - we will be your loyal customers from now on for sure!

Dear Ksenia, We just came back to Dubai, but our minds are still on Maldives. Honestly, Maldives is just like a dream, it is like a real paradise. I would be lying if I say that I liked our island, because I absolutely loved it. Clear turquoise Ocean, white sand, beautiful all-inclusive hotel with high-level service. The hotel staff were the most amazing and kind people that were taking really good care of us during the whole stay.. I would like to thank you Ksenia for recommending the best hotel option, for arranging the whole trip and taking care of all the documents. You were in touch 24/7 for all our questions and inquiries. Actually, it is not that easy to travel in pandemic times, that is why I am so happy that we found such a Trusted Travel Counsellor like you! You helped us out not only with customized travel itinerary, but also you consulted about PCR tests procedures, travel rules and guidelines. We felt safe and relaxed booking with you. So thank you so much again for all your efforts in creating a happy journey for us! Can’t wait to book with you our next trip once new destinations will be reopened!

Good afternoon, Ksenia! Our mini-vacation is coming to the end and I wanted to thank you again for your great service. My family really enjoyed Le Meridien Al Aqah. I think it has an amazing beach area, the best on Fujairah coast. The food was delicious and the hotel offered guests the wide selection of dishes. Kids were happy at the beach and pool, even though the kids activities are not available at the moment. Definitely we are coming to come back once the hotel reopens all the kid-friendly facilities.

As a personal travel consultant, Ksenia is nothing short of a marvel; the best I have ever had the pleasure to rely on. She is prompt to respond to every request, and is comprehensive in laying out travel options for any itinerary. Perhaps her most valuable attribute, however, is her creativity and speed in suggesting and implementing solutions to the inevitable travel challenges that arise for those who travel frequently.

It was the most amazing adventure I and my family have ever been on. Just waking up to hear the ocean crashing up against the shore was amazing. The birds chirping the crabs walking the beach totally amazing! We visited all the Temples we could find. We went to are beaches Bentota; area restaurants and fresh fruit stand along the roads. Moneywise it was the best trip thus far. Be prepared to do some walking but enjoy the Poolside mountainous views and FRESH AIR! We thank you Ksenia, we had an awesome time and we will return.

I used services of Travel Counsellors while choosing my Christmas cruise trip with MSC Lirica. Ksenia guided me carefully through available options, routes and price ranges. Considering a quite tight time frame (just two weeks before my travel dates), Ksenia made my booking process simple and fast, headache free. Me and my son personally really enjoyed out trip with MSC cruises, it was a great value for money. Amazing food, very friendly staff and smooth trip. I would highly recommend Ksenia as your personal travel guide.
