“There were so many highlights, each place has a story. Your planning was impeccable, everything went to clockwork (well the bits that had your stamp on it!)
I created a bit of a following on Facebook with the stories of my adventures! Mostly at my own expense.
Thank you so much for the work you invested into making my trip so memorable. I feel very lucky to have had your expertise. ”
— Elizabeth Watson
