Excellent itinerary and pre-trip information was invaluable. Samantha attempted to meet everyone’s needs beyond what I have ever experienced.

Amazing itinerary, extremely thoroughly and well-planned as well as real-time adjustments to accommodate changing customer needs and interests, weather, etc. Incredibly informative guides, wonderful trip leader and great group chemistry and camaraderie … a mix that will be hard to beat!
