Hello, I am Reena with more than 20 + years of travel industry experience in Dubai. Being a passionate traveller, I enjoy exploring new destinations and sharing travel experiences with friends and family.
For over 20 years I have stayed in different regions of the Gulf, and my wandering heart has fallen in love with the desert and its unique characteristics, the equal parts of serenity and madness and the vigour in each of these regions.
When it comes to travelling though, it doesn’t matter where I am off to or what season of the year it is, for there is beauty in each place I visit.
From my many years of travel skills, I have learnt that each traveller is looking forward to encountering unique experiences in their own ways. It would be my utmost delight to arrange journeys that will capture my clients’ hearts and souls.
“Not all those who wander are lost”. However, the possibility of getting lost in a new place is pretty high. Here I am, proud to be a Travel Counselor, to ensure you have the most unforgettable and safe travel experiences.
So pick up the phone and dial my number, You can also email me or contact me on WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram, I would be glad to assist you with all your travel needs within the budget.

Reena has been a lovely consultant who is very patient and accommodating to our requests. This is the 3rd trip she has planned for me . She offers top notch quality in her services and recommendations- be it the hotels or packages. Whenever I travel solo, Reena is the first person I reach out to plan the trip for me . She will ensure to be in touch across the tour as well if we need any assistance. The local tours organised will always be the best. I highly recommend her services to anyone who likes to travel hassle free and loves a quality trip. Thank you Reena.

Thank you Reena for your help in planning our Japan trip. The train tickets were delivered to our hotel and the stay at the Soji In was awesome. We had a lovely time with the guides on both days. You were able to get your local guys to change our pick up time when we decided to change our plans. All our trips that you have curated have been wonderful. I cant wait to plan my next one.

We are super impressed with the spectacular services offered. Right from booking the flights to the hotel to sightseeing, everything was well-planned. The complete trip - right from boarding the first flight to the last was well-organised and beautifully planned. We enjoyed each day in the exotic places. My Travel Counsellor, Reena Zafar, had solutions to any doubts we asked, if not, she would write back on finding the best options. Also, we loved the myTC App. Anytime we had to refer to any details, it was all there - be it tickets, bookings or sightseeing... Thank you for your services. We had an amazing Europe tour.

We were planning our first travel with our 2 year old and with Covid still at peak that was one of our main concerns when planning the vacay.. Reena Zafar Travel Counsellors was super patient with all our travel needs, wants and budget! She really researched and gave us multiple options for stays and packages until we found one that met exactly what we were looking for.. We had a wonderful stay at Sheraton Full Moon resort in Maldives. Beautiful resort with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Ample selection of restaurants at the resort (with a fussy toddler this was really a blessing!) the resort had good excursions as well as a decent play area for toddlers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Definitely looking forward to planning our future holidays with Reena!!

I would highly recommend her for all your travels. Thank you, Reena

My family recently visited the Maldives for a family vacation. We were fortunate enough to be assisted by Reena Zafar which made this vacation better, easier and less stressful. Finding the time to wade through the many options for a family vacation can be a tedious task but luckily Reena helped us navigate through all of this. She was efficient, quick and professional throughout this process from the beginning. I would highly recommend her as she provided us with a multitude of services which included; arranging of the flights and seating arrangements, assisting with completion of documentation, obtaining the GDFRA approvals, selecting and advising us on the best options, and just always going above and beyond her duties every step of the way. We appreciated her genuine concern and ability to personalize the packages according to our needs.
Thank you for organizing an awesome vacation that was hassle free. I really also appreciated you sorting out all of the documentation requirements as well.. Looking forward to planning our next family holiday!

I'd like to quickly drop in a few lines to give you a feedback on our Switzerland trip that we went for last week. We were very happy with the accommodations arranged. All the hotels were close to the rail station so it was very convenient for us to go around and between locations. Since we wanted to keep the flexibility open, we had planned our trip before going on our own with the recommendations that you had sent us for each location.
To rate the hotels that we stayed at, we loved the Schweizerhof hotel, Bern. The rooms were spacious, the service was very good and the hotel on the whole was lovely. The Royal St. Georges, Interlaken was good and so was Flora hotel at Luzern. The last hotel we stayed at was Movenpik hotel, Geneva and the hotel was lovely as well as very convenient as there was no rush to get to the airport before heading back to Dubai.
We had a jam packed tour with a lot of sight seeing and going around. Thanks a lot for your assistance over the whole trip and appreciate the time you took out to meet us personally and handover details to us. We will surely keep recommending you to our friends and family as we always do. :)

She considered all my needs like budget, health problems, time constraints and my personal likes and dislikes and provided me with excellent suggestions.
