Rock Star Advisor!

Reviewed By Nervous Nellie - Delray Beach, FL | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Izzy is amazing. His attention to detail and his ability to anticipate my questions and concerns helped me to relax and really enjoy the process of planning the perfect holiday. I tend to be a bit neurotic and a control freak so working with someone who gets me and listens to me is really important. Izzy knows his stuff!

Can't wait to return to New Zealand!

Reviewed By Coach Dave - Saratoga, CA | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Izzy and I spent weeks planning a dream trip to New Zealand. I told him we wanted the best and gave him an itinerary of what areas we wanted to visit. Izzy took it from there and arranged flights, limo transfers and also got us into the best accommodations imaginable. And he made one great suggestion: we needed to go to Huka Lodge. I hadn't heard of this place but said OK, let's do it. It turned out to be the favorite place we visited during the two weeks.

All you could want to do in the time available!

Reviewed By Dr. CATS - Dallas, TX | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
I entrusted the New Zealand leg of a Bucket List trip to a big cruise line which repeatedly disappointed. For the Australia leg, I was fortunate to find Izzy, who worked with me to build an adventure. It was great on paper; in reality the scope surpassed my wildest dreams. Izzy asked me where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do. Then he made it happen affordably. He didn’t offer canned trips. Every day was planned specifically for me and provided memories for a lifetime. He often exceeded expectations. My New Zealand cruise ship left a day late, stranding me in Sydney without a room even though Izzy brought me in 3 days early; along with 1,500 other passengers, I needed one more night in the height of the tourist season. His connections were able to get one of the few hotel rooms in Sydney. Thank you for the Edge surprise in Melbourne and the koalas in Cairns! Of course, when I was ready to go back to New Zealand, I went to Izzy, and again he delivered. So glad he is back in business!

New Zealand North and South Islands

Reviewed By Magnus - Okinawa, Japan | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Izzy was very attentive and wanted what was best for us on our trip. He really wanted to find out who we were to he could match our personalities to the experience. During the trip everything was extremely well planned. All we had to do was be at the location and all transport was taken care of. We only had 8 days to see new Zealand and it was wonderful seeing all the different parts. I would advise that for a shorter trip like ours that only the North or South island was explored, we felt like we spent a lot of our time traveling and to rent a car. Waiheke was amazing, the wine there was delicious and views could not be beat. The Delamore lodge has the best customer service and are recommending it to everyone. Rotorua had so many things to do and we are going to need to go back to finish seeing and experiencing everything it has to offer. The Hangi with the local Maori was the highlight of Rotorua. Queenstown was epic, so much is happening there, all seasons offer so much.

My Dream Trip

Reviewed By Happy Travelers - London, Ohio | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Izzy was very friendly and enthusiastic during all our conversations. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. He knew the all the accommodations, from our hotels to the bed and breakfast very well and they were all beautiful accommodations with friendly and helpful staff. This was my dream vacation and Izzy did not disappoint. Our trip was 26 days split between Australia and New Zealand; we were busy but there was plenty of on-our-own time to make this a very enjoyable trip. Every arrangement was made including transportation to and from every airport (and there were several). The tours we had at some of our locations were wonderful with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I am looking forward to more trips with Izzy!

A Family Memory

Reviewed By Alvin and Marilyn - Bexley | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
We approached Izzy Naveh about twenty months ago to ask his help planning a family vacation for 19 people. Over the course of the planning, Izzy worked closely with us to understand our desires and to help us choose a wonderful destination, one that would be appropriate to give us plenty of varied fun experiences (our children and grandchildren range in age from fifty-four to thirteen - and we two are a bit older), one that would also include many opportunities to do "family things" together to insure this trip was a lifelong memory for everyone. Of course, all this was done during COVID, which made destinations and travel options all the more challenging. We can say without hesitation or qualification that we have never experienced a more professional, thoughtful and caring travel agent/advisor than Izzy Naveh. His planning was spot-on. His follow up on even the smallest details was fabulous. Izzy insured that our dreams about the nature of our family vacation were realized.

As a family who like to plan our own trips, this was our first time working with an agent. It was hard for us to ask for help with flights; bookings; reservations; special events; etc. We worried about handing over control but our worries proved unfounded. Izzy made everything easy, prompted us when decisions needed to be made and responded within 12 hours of any email query/request.
