Wow... what a trip!!
Reviewed By Allison F. - La Canada, CA | Traveled to Bali ~ Indonesia ~ East and Southeast Asia
This was by far the best decision we made in regard to our honeymoon. With all the planning we had to do for the wedding, taking on the task of planning a honeymoon was the last thing on our minds. We had never used a travel agent before but now we are completely hooked! My husband found David and it couldn't have worked out better. After an initial call to describe what we were looking for, David made some recommendations and then came up with two different itineraries for us to consider. We ultimately chose Bali and we stayed in two different areas. To say the trip went more than perfect would be an understatement. Everything he set up for us was more than we could have imagined. Both resorts were incredible. I don't think we would have come anywhere close to planning such an amazing trip on our own. Having David's experience and recommendations is invaluable so you know you are really spending your money wisely. We will definitely be using David in the future to plan our

We had the BEST trip!!
Reviewed By Kevin S. - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
My wife and I were delighted with the travel planning and support we got from David on a recent trip to Spain and Portugal. David developed a fabulous itinerary that accomplished all our goals, allowing a lot of experience and a reasonable pace/free time. We were especially amazed by the personal tour guides, who made each stop come alive with their local knowledge and generous time. The hotels were great, each reflecting local culture and in great locations for exploring. David also provided a amazing travel app that enabled all the details of travel seamlessly. We found David to be an excellent value and would definitely use him again.

Our Dream trip!!!
Reviewed By Mary T. - Sherman Oaks, CA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Amazing experience with David!!! My husband and I just returned from our dream trip to Italy, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Everything was expertly planned to perfection. David let us totally relax while every detail of the trip (airport transport, hotels, excursions, etc) was seamlessly handled. When we almost missed a flight or when we accidentally left valuables in one hotel, he proactively made sure we were taken care of. I will always use David for my personal trips and will recommend them to my business for professional trips!!

The most Amazing Family trips!!
Reviewed By Lauren D. - Century City, CA | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
David has coordinated two excellent trips for my family to Mexico and Costa Rica. It was such a relief and weight off my shoulders for him handle all the travel logistics from our flights (CA, FL and IL), transfers, rooms, tours, activities and any other travel related needs we needed. David arranged the best located ocean view rooms at the resorts and we received VIP treatment the whole time. Planning family trips is very challenging for me, so handing it off to David was a blessing. He dealt with any issues that came up and it was such a relief!! The hotel David suggested in both Mexico and Costa Rica was absolutely stunning, with amazing service and we visited places I would of never thought of. We had the most amazing of trips. I will continue to use David's services for all my trips. Thank you David!

The best travel agent ever!!
Reviewed By Amanda V. - Beverly Hills, CA | Traveled to Worldwide
David was hands down the best travel agent I ever worked with. The company I work for had gone through several other travel agencies and agents prior to David; and hands down, none could come close to being as great as him. David really knows how to handle all types of travel, especially last minute travel situations. David is a top-quality travel agent, who genuinely cares about his clients, knows the business like the back of his hand, goes out of his way, puts up with a lot of nonsense.... yet he will never let you know it, he will always look for the best deal available, while still considering travel comfortability (timing, layovers, etc) and does his best to route the trip to avoid possible travel disasters (time of year, weather, etc). Safe to say that I highly recommend David to anyone.

Fabulous Trip to Europe!

Thanks to the reviews on Yelp; I contacted a travel agency to assist me with a trip I was planning a trip to Europe. I got travel consultant David. David has been great! He provided me with hotel recommendations, assisted with purchasing Euro Rail tickets and much more. He was very accommodating and professional. Working with David has been a pleasure. I have been able to tell David what I want and he has done all the leg work. I would recommend using David when you need to plan a trip.

Wonderful trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico
Reviewed By Alli W. - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Where do I begin. Let me say, there is an angel sent from Heaven working over there and his name is David. I have NEVER worked with someone so wonderful and customer service oriented in my LIFE. He worked with me from start to finish. We had minor issues with our hotel and David checked in with me daily to make sure we were taken care of. When we felt we weren't he called the hotel HIMSELF and talked to the manager to fix the issues! After the trip was over and more details needed to be sorted out, he has CONTINUED to be just as helpful - out of the kindness of his own heart. David truly cares about his clients, you can tell. He wants you to have an amazing vacation, he genuinely cares. I will ALWAYS book my trips through David as long as he is an agent. I will be recommending him to everyone who travels. I don't write reviews, Ever. This is my first! But I had to come on here and let anyone that is wondering about the experience with David and how unbelievably WONDERFUL mine

We had the best time!!
Reviewed By Sarah D. - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Malaysia ~ East and Southeast Asia
My husband and I reached out to David for a two-week adventure (w/ some leisure) through Asia. We really wanted to see orangutans and all the wildlife the Borneo Rainforest had to offer. David planned a truly magical adventure for us - we had the best time! We wouldn't have changed a thing. I definitely loved our private tour at Matang Wildlife Center, the river safaris in Kinibatan River (our guide there was fantastic!) along with the Borneo Rainforest Lodge (our guide there was also fantastic!) both really knowledgeable and passionate about the rainforest and its animals which we loved. We went off David's suggestion and opted for the private tours which was a great idea because it allowed us to be flexible with what we wanted to see, plotting our treks, etc. Also on David's suggestion, we went to Nihi on Sumba Island, which was incredibly beautiful and a great (relaxing!) way to end our vacation. We are already talking about going adventure trip with David.

Incredible Honeymoon!!
Reviewed By Lisa T. - New York, NY | Traveled to Africa
A friend from Los Angeles referred us to David, He helped us plan our African Safari honeymoon and we couldn't be more pleased with how the process has gone! We were admittedly intimated by the idea of planning a safari but with David's guidance and expertise we quickly realized that our dream honeymoon was possible and that the planning process did not have to be a daunting one. The itineraries he put together were incredible and expertly tailored to what we were looking for - and the final one we selected is nothing short of amazing. We couldn't have done it David and would highly recommend him to anyone else planning their honeymoon!

The most incredible Honeymoon!
Reviewed By John M, - Newport Beach, CA | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
David did an incredible job planning our honeymoon. We were not the easiest of clients -- relatively hands-off (not opinionated) early on as we were also planning the wedding, and then a bunch of last minute changes and requests the week of our trip. But David handled everything with ease and smiles. He was able to get us a room upgrade and free breakfast, a resort credit and a welcome gift at the Four Seasons in Maui and somehow negotiated a refund of a non-refundable rate at an airport hotel rate when Delta cancelled and moved our flight. This alone covered his planning cost a few times over, which was minimal to begin with, so it's like we got all his services for "free"! Overall, would highly recommend. We won't plan a trip longer than a weekend without the help of David.

From his expertise on the best hotels and restaurants to unique activities that truly made our trip amazing, there is nothing more we could have asked. We even had a local representative in Greece to help with last minute questions, connecting with tour guides and anything we needed while abroad.

We had an AMAZING honeymoon in French Polynesia!
Reviewed By Jason M. - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Our travel agent David set up our honeymoon and delivered above and beyond. We went to French Polynesia and his pre-knowledge tips were vital, along with step by step printed itinerary, saving days and days of un-informed rookie tourist travel woes. There's certain details you just won't know or be able to discover online prior to visit, without David's recommendations, which will save you the time and headache. Some people had 8-10 hour layovers waiting for ferries or planes on the Tahitian Islands, a major mistake on vacation when trying to capitalize on all the time you've got. And trust me, it's cheaper to go with an agent then not, would you try and buy a home without an agent? You'll get schooled. The packages David sets you up with, there's just no way you could figure that out on your own without those agent connections. Thank you David. We can't wait for the next adventure with you!

The best honeymoon of our lives!
Reviewed By Chloe B. - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
We worked with David to plan our recent 2-week honeymoon all over Spain, and have already recommended him to friends and family. He listened closely to our interests and what we wanted to get out of the trip, and completely delivered when it came to the hotels, tours, and unique experiences. We were initially interested in visiting Spain and Portugal, but David helped us focus and narrow down which cities to visit - and for how long - given the amount of time we had available and what we wanted to do. We ended up spending all our time in Spain, and felt that we were in each city for the perfect amount of time. The itinerary was great and included a combination of relaxation and sight-seeing/cultural experiences. Thanks to David, the trip was so smooth and we didn't have to worry about a thing. It's a trip we will remember fondly forever.

Lovely Honeymoon trip to Europe
Reviewed By Rachel S. - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Europe
A few months ago I realized that my honeymoon to Italy and France was quickly approaching, and apart from one small aspect of our trip, nothing was planned! I quickly started researching flights and hotels, but got more and more overwhelmed. We were visiting 2 different locations, so I needed to find double the flights. Also the flights I did find were crazy expensive.While I didn't need to find a place to stay in France, I know very little about Rome and Florence so finding accommodations there was tricky. I really wanted to stay at beautiful, romantic hotels, but every place got mixed reviews, and I had no one who could give me any real insight. I decided to try the help of a travel agent. David was the second travel agent I spoke with, as the first agent was snooty. David really went out of his way to make our trip seamless. We will be going to Rome and Florence, and David has found the most romantic hotels, and a lovely Tour of Tuscany! We had an amazing honeymoon!

Epic Birthday Surprise trip to Europe
Reviewed By Ainye L. - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Europe
This post is way overdue, but I have to give some love to David!I was planning a surprise birthday trip to Europe for my wife's 30th birthday. Neither of us had been before and wanted to see a lot... With technology, friends and family who have lived throughout Europe, and TripAdvisor, I figured I could map out the perfect trip. There was so much to navigate!
On top of that, my wife is very meticulous and thoughtful! This was her 30th and I planned it as a surprise. I wanted everything to be perfect. What if I missed a plan she would have caught.. What if our trip wasn't up to her Aries' standards..
We started talking and turned out he and my wife have the same birthday!! I took that as a sign and let him lead the way.
In short with David's help, we had an AMAZING AMAZING adventure! Our hotels and locations were totally unmatched. We visited 3 countries, 5 cities in 12 days. It was epic! Can't wait for David to plan our next trip!

Wonderful vacation in Europe"

My boyfriend & I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Europe thanks to David!We started out by letting David know what places we wanted to see & our budget. We had a modest budget and he was able to work with it.
We took 4 flights, stayed in 4 premium hotels (which were a lot nicer than i expected), and booked 2 tours and did not encounter a single problem checking in and all that. So I must say, David only books with reliable companies. He was also easy to reach & very accomodating (we changed our itinerary a few times).
Overall, I highly recommend David. I didn't mention that their service is highly affordable! Call him now!
