Trick-or-Travel was started in February of 2019, to provide an alternative to more traditional travel arrangements by incorporating the element of surprise into a vacation — simultaneously removing the stress associated with planning a trip and providing a sense of wonder, spontaneity, and exploration.
For our 10-year anniversary, I decided to surprise my fiancé with a surprise trip using Trick-or-Travel; even though it can out as a mutual surprise !!!
Every journey begins in the same way.... with a reservation. On the Trick-or-Travel’s app, you will first have to make a few choices so that the team can prepare a best surprise that suits your desires. You will have the possibility to orient your destination to the north of Europe, Asia or just choose the climate you want. It is also possible at this time to set destinations aside if you do not wish to return. The choice does not end there. Indeed, it is also possible to specify the type of transport you wish to use (plane, train, car) to reach your surprise destination, the category of the hotel, the duration of the trip...
With my fiancé, we have chosen to be totally surprised, but have had to eliminate a large number of cities, visited either by one or the other in recent years. The Trick-or-Travel team worked with us, but the challenge was met with flying colours! You can trust them with your eyes closed! During the little survey, you also need to fill in your budget, the duration of the trip... to create a real personalized surprise travel.
48-hours before our mystery travel, we were proposed 2 mystery destinations: Dubai and Singapore. In 5minutes our decision was chosen; we were flying to Dubai in 48 hours for a 3-nights stay. We did our luggages and waited for the departure.
Once arrived, an Atlantis caretaker was waiting for us and led us to our first activity: jet-ski on the Dubai Marina. It was FANTASTIC!!!! We had a little tour to the Burj Khalifa; the ascent of this tower is called "At The Top" for floors 124 and 125 and "At The Top Sky" for floor 148. The elevator starts to operate, and even if we can't see outside, we feel the elevator increasing in speed, to reach its maximum speed of 18 meters per second (world record). The floor indicator scrolls through the numbers during a rather impressive visit. Be careful with the ears, they clog up very quickly and will slightly hurt you ... After dinner we went to our hotel room and just look at it:
Everything was so well done; it was the most prestigious and incredible experience of my life!!! The other two days, we spend our time visiting by ourselves and spending some time in couple.
Basically I simply loved this stay! Even if a surprise stay is not cheap! It was your anniversary trip so we had a big budget: £2,500 per person for a 3-night trip in Dubai, and found that it was a very well spent experience. It's unique. You don't have to worry about anything and the efficiency of the team, application as well as the quality of the hosting and activities. I can only advise you to step out of your comfort zone a try a surprise travel journey ! Everything is really well tied up and the emotional elevator is guaranteed!
Thanks to Trick-or-Travel for allowing me to discover their concept and the beautiful city of Dubai. What a pleasure to be surprised and to be able to enjoy the present moment without worrying about any organization. Nadine, finely, thinks and prepares everything... You're dealing with a surprise fairy!
