“These two are only talking about travel tips, not the experience of travelling. The guest have so much more to offer. Make them talk about there experience and travel stories. Not just travel tips. Who cares about 10 different ways to hydrate your skin while on an airplane.”

“I have been loving Travel Genius since discovering it a few months ago. I always learn something new. It’s also fun to hear from guests who have some of the same travel hacks as you- I’m all about the Berocca (great for anti-jet lag and hangovers) and analogue cameras (I take a disposable on my...”Read full review »

“Good tips and topics, but Nikki needs to stop interrupting and talking over the guests. Maybe there is delay with her VoIP but she does so constantly in multiple episodes. Super irritating.”

Despite all these tips and tricks you present, you sound disconnected from the rest of the civilised world, talking about developing countries in such derogatory tones.
A big part of the privilege of being able to travel around the world is...”Read full review »

“I travel all over the U.S. for work, and occasionally into Canada. Lots of long plane and car rides to fill with podcasts. I primarily listen to music, news, and current events, so I was thrilled to see a podcast specifically for travellers.
I really enjoy the hosts and their enthusiasm for...”Read full review »

So is this a travel podcast, or is it a business travel...”Read full review »

“I’m not sure what audience this is supposed to be for. First of all, a conversation about the difference between luxury and ultra luxury hotels (with not even a mention of cost) is irrelevant to 99% of listeners. Your “hacks” should already be known by anyone who can afford to stay at the kinds...”Read full review »
