“The trip was amazing - everything went off without a hitch. It exceeded my expectations. Gerardo and Jose could not have been better guides.... I couldn't imagine a better first international trip for the kids and I really appreciated the fact I could focus on the beauty of Costa Rica instead of how to navigate the country. Thank you!!"

“I just cannot express to you enough what a wonderful time Bill and Caroline had this past week in Morocco. It was just the right amount of time of everything and they loved every minute. Their driver Mohammed and their guide Said really made all the difference. Caroline cried when they all said goodbye. Truly the trip of a lifetime."

— Kelly Martucci, Agent

“We had an absolutely extraordinary time in Vietnam, Siem Reap and Bangkok. Every arrangement, every hotel, every guide - all superbly done. We could not have hoped for a better organized and meaningful use of time. And we owe it all to you and your folks here and in the countries we visited."
