Remember that cheesy voice from celebrity TV show The Fabulous Life Of? You’d have to hire it to go along on your vacation if you book a holiday with Rich n Famous, a new super-luxe travel boutique that can build you a private jet made out of real papier mache money. Okay not really, but their list of services comes close.
Shiny Happy People
The lobby at their South Extension II office is a little bling—and perhaps that’s what they’re going for—with lit-up fountains and diamante letters spelling out the company’s name. Aside from the terrible moniker and cheesy tag line (‘you dream, we fulfill’), the people over at Rich n Famous are a competent bunch, interviewing you for your likes and dislikes in order to plan the perfect trip, one that involves fat frills like private jets and yachts for two.
Pick one of their pre-planned packages – they don’t book hotels that have less than four stars - and you could be learning how to cook empanadas in a Buenos Aires mansion, swimming with sea lions in Mexico and kite surfing in Kenya. But if you’d rather cook a sea lion in Kenya while kite surfing in Buenos Aires, they’ll try their best to arrange it. And by this we mean that Rich n Famous can customise and tweak tours depending on your very demanding needs.
What’s the Plan?
They may be just a month old, but they’ve already planned some pretty impressive trips, including a private sand dune soiree in Dubai and a golfing trip in Hurghada, Egypt. At Rich n Famous they even do special tours for small groups, which sounds like a fun service for bachelors and bachelorettes looking to drink their wedding funds away. Viva Las Vegas!
So us Scouters are planning a Turkey trip next month, and dreaming about all the fairy dust they could sprinkle on our holiday. As we launch into fantasies of ridiculously lavish sea-side resorts in Bodrum populated with pretty folk, we smile and a gold tooth sparkles, and from out of nowhere, a voice declares our lives “fabulous!”
Getting there: Rich n Famous, E-8, 1st Floor, South Extension II, call 41374137, or visit the website here, charges depend on your package.
