About Us
More Than a Company: We're the Family Behind Your Travels
Our Story is About More Than Travel. It's About Family.
Welcome to Ariel's Travels, where you're not just another client—you're part of our extended family.
In a world of automated bookings and faceless companies, we do things differently. We're a family-run business, and we've built our reputation on the simple idea that travel should be personal, authentic, and built on trust.
When you plan a trip with us, you're not talking to a call center. You're talking to us: the family that built this company from the ground up, the people who personally scout the locations, and the guides who will share their local stories with you.
Our Mission
Treating your vacation like our own.
Our mission is simple: To treat your vacation with the same care and personal attention that we'd give to our own family. We believe in creating memories that last a lifetime, not just checking boxes on an itinerary.
How Our Family's Passion Became Your Next Adventure
Ariel's Travels wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born around our family dinner table.
Our founder, Mr. Ajan, started this company with a simple passion: a deep love for our home country, a desire to share hidden gems, and a frustration with one-size-fits-all tours.
For years, we'd hosted friends and family from around the world, taking them to our favorite secret spots, introducing them to local artisans, and sharing the meals we grew up on. We saw the joy that came from truly connecting with a place, beyond the typical tourist path.
In 2024, we decided to turn that passion into a promise. We created Ariel's Travels to share that same authentic, family-style experience with travelers like you. We're not just guides; we're your hosts.
