We do things differently.
Here at Niksen Travel we believe you should have access to expertly curated itineraries without the high service fees travel agents typically charge. Deriving our name from the Dutch word for doing nothing, we aim to make your experience seamless. We want you to feel like vacation has started the moment you contact us.
We are unique. We aren’t your typical travel agent and we aren’t a tour company. At Niksen, we believe in flexibility. Most of our journeys allow for customization. You choose your activities from a list of expertly crafted recommendations. You also can choose the length of your stay, room type, and even add on extra services like translators, security details and chauffeur.
Niksen Travel is an affiliate of Uniglobe Travel Center (UTC). UTC is a member of Virtuoso, the leading global network of agencies specializing in luxury and experiential travel. Through our relationships, we are able to offer unique experiences, special values, complimentary perks, VIP treatment and rare access.
How does it work?
Many companies in the travel industry offer commission to agents. This commission is already embedded in the price, and you pay for this even if you don’t use a travel agent. Most travel agencies work by customer requests. They build a unique itinerary for each customer, which is time consuming. Because of this, most travel agents charge service fees and/or markup trip costs in addition to their commissions. We decided to flip that model. We create once-in-a-lifetime trips and sell them to many people. Because of that, we are able to create efficiencies. We will never charge you a service fee or mark up the cost.
What should I expect?
When you choose one of our trips, you will be asked to complete a form that will capture your preferences and other pertinent information. Within a few days, you will receive your personalized itinerary. There are no fees and no obligations to complete the form and receive your itinerary. Once you approve the itinerary, we’ll finalize your plans and collect payment. Prior to your trip, you will receive digital and physical copies of your trip details and information about the country you are visiting. And of course, we’re here to answer any questions along the way.
