I've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon. So when the time was right I reached out to travel partners and found Martin. He flew me into Phoenix and we toured the city for a few days seeing everything from gold mines to botanical gardens. We even did a UTV through the desert at his recommendation (it was awesome). We then drove up to the Grand Canyon and what a site! It was everything we dreamed. On the way back we stopped in Flagstaff and did a silent disco at one of the clubs and then continued on to Sedona. I wasn't even aware this place existed but Martin told us it was an absolute must and he was right. This was the most beautiful and amazing place that I've ever been. We hiked Bell Rock and took some amazing pictures and did the local shops. We then traveled back to Phoenix where we did some nightlife in the city and enjoyed some amazing tacos. Then it was back home. We were sooooo happy with Martin's suggestions and recommendations.

We went to Washington D.C for the first time with our family. We had no idea what to expect or how difficult it would be so we reached out to Martin for some help. He booked us a hotel right over the Metro to make it easy for us to access public transportation and walked us through the process on how it works from buying the cards to reading the maps. He helped us secure tickets to the White House! We saw Ford's Theatre and all the Museums. Our kids got to see the Capital and Congress in session (really cool experience for them). We then went to Mt. Vernon and Arlington. Martin was there every step of the way to give us tips and help with any issues (at one point we didn't know where to go to start the White House Tour and he dropped a pin for us on the map). Next time we travel we will be giving Martin a call!
