Our vacation was absolutely wonderful!! All the accommodations were excellent and well located.

Eurail Pass was great, no troubles. We really enjoy 1st class rail travel :)   There were no problems or glitches at all - hard to believe on a busy trip like this. I thank you so much for this, you take such great care to assure everything is done perfectly! We are so happy with both the trips you planned with us...we'll be coming back again in the future .

It was the trip of a lifetime and any time we need a travel agent, you are it!  Not only that, anyone that we ever hear of that needs a travel agent, you are the name we give; and I have posted on Trip Advisor and on LocoGringo throwing out your name for the best travel agent ever.
 
Our trip would not have been near what it was without you, thank you again.

Annie booked our honeymoon to Bora Bora, she was the best travel agent we have ever worked with. She gave us options, her advice, and provided us a dream honeymoon that we will remember for the rest of our lives.  We got married in a private beach ceremony and Annie even coordinated with the hotel to help us organize some of the wedding details.  We were thrilled with the personal touches that she added before the trip, during the trip, and when we returned.  Thank you so much!   Kim & Todd

Thank you for all the arrangements you made for our trip to Tahiti, Bora Bora, Tikehau, and Honolulu. Our plans were tricky, given that arrangements had to be made at relatively short notice, we were arriving into Tahiti separately at different times, and then doing the rest of the trip together, but you managed to piece it all together for us, we got everything we wanted and everything went very well.
All of our accommodations were excellent, but we were particularly happy with our stay at the Pearl Resort, Tikehau, a destination we would never have discovered without your advice. We loved it! The laid back atmosphere, the excellent diving, the food, and our spacious over-water bungalow, it was all great. It truly was marvelous to experience the remoteness and beauty of the Tuamotos.
It made a big difference to our trip to have had the benefit of your expertise and on-the-ground knowledge of French Polynesia. We’ll definitely be recommending you to our friends and family.

Everything was perfect and the resorts were both beautiful and fit what we wanted for our honeymoon!

Bora Bora is the most beautiful place I have ever seen....I had to pinch myself many times as it all seemed so surreal!

Thank you so much from both of us in helping to put it all together and make our dream honeymoon come true!

We had an awesome time and everything went perfectly in Tahiti, so thanks for that. Thanks also for the bottle of wine, we enjoyed that watching the sunset one night. We took over 500 pictures. And yes, we did go swimming with the sharks!

Thanks again,

First and foremost thank you so much for the lovely bottle of wine!! What a great way to start our trip in Bora Bora. Aaron and I had a great time in Disneyland and Bora Bora. We loved the resort in Bora Bora, it was so nice and quiet and fun. I would pinch Aaron everyday we were there cause it felt like we were in a postcard. I can't believe how gorgeous it was. By day 3 we picked up on how to say "Hi" and "Thank you" in French Polynesian. We went to the Thalasso Spa one day and that was a great experience our massage was incredible, we also watched them feed the sting rays and eat at Sands. The only thing that we wanted to do but couldn't go to was "Bloody Mary's," the day we wanted to go, it turned out they were closed for lunch cause it was a holiday for them. Overall it was a fabulous trip and so very gorgeous.

We are so thankful for all our recommendations about where to go, what to see, etc.

Thank you again for everything!

Annie, Thanks so much for booking our trip to Gweru, Zimbabwe. My daughter and I had an unforgettable 3 weeks staying at Antelope Park (an African Impact project) in Gweru and volunteering working with orphans and street youth during the week and lion rehabilitation on weekends.

We were able to help the local youth with reading, math, buying their groceries, cooking meals, playing soccer and letting them know how much we care about them. What wonderful young people who are smart, great kids who deserve warmth, love and hope for a better future. We raised some money and bought them blankets, pots and spoons and we have never witnessed such gratitude in our life! We were also able to interact with lions and cubs at Antelope Park, going on lion walks nearly every day! The food at Antelope Park was 5 star, absolutely delicious. The other volunteers we met were amazing, interesting people from around the world.

We took a 5 day trip to Victoria Falls, which were breathtaking. On the way we experienced the wonders of Hwange National Park where we saw elephants and other wildlife. A day trip to Botswana and Chobe National Park was incredible, just like National Geographic. We went on a Zambezi River cruise and saw herds of elephants up close and some took a bath beside us! I looked a large elephant in the eyes and told him that I love him and will save him. I will try to raise awareness of the terrible poaching that threatens them. It was incredibly moving! After seeing these magnificent creatures in the wild you feel compelled to help ensure their survival. We saw hippos, crocodiles, impalas, gazelles, giraffes, zebras, cape buffalos, wildebeests and much more. It was one of the best days of our lives!

That afternoon we went on a safari on land that was amazing. I was able to spend a day in Matapos National Park in Zimbabwe tracking wild rhinos on foot and we were thrilled to encounter a mother white rhino and her baby and take some great photos. Rhinos are endangered by poaching as well and we must put more effort into stopping this. All in all this trip was superb, the African people were so friendly and welcoming and we can hardly wait to go again. I think I will take my husband next time!

Tara,
 

Thank-you so much for making our DREAM vacation a reality and so hassle-free. We really appreciated the extra’s you arranged for us that we don’t normally pre-plan such as transportation to and from airport, boat booking to tokoriki, late check-outs etc…..even though it was an expensive vacation, it was worth every penny!!! Would go back to Fiji in a heart beat!!

Thank-you,
