We have used Matt for several trips in the last two years. He put together an Orlando trip in October 2021 where we stayed at Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Resort and it included golf tee times, car rental, and restaurants. We used him in June of 2021 for a New York trip that included hotel, restaurants, and several city and cultural tours. He has planned a trip to Dallas this month for the Elton John concert including hotel, restaurants, and car rental. He has also planned a trip to England in June to attend the Wimbledon tennis tournament including tickets to the event, hotel, air, transfer, trip insurance, restaurants, and city tours. Matt has planned one additional trip for us this year on Viking River Cruise in September of 2022 on the Danube including the cruise, transfers, and accommodations both pre and post sailing. Matt has great attention to detail and is very attentive as well as cost conscious. I would highly recommend his services.
