Childhood dream come true!

Reviewed By Jeri - Tallahassee, Florida | Traveled to Beijing ~ China ~ East and Southeast Asia
Lenora sent me to Beijing so I could finally see the Great Wall. I had dreamed of doing this my whole life since I learned in school the Great Wall is visible from space. Not only did I see the Great Wall but I tobogganed down from it! What an adventure! There were two-humped camels to ride. I got to eat the most amazing vegetarian food after being worried if I could accommodate my diet in China.

Hooked on solo tours

Reviewed By Lisa - Boston, MA | Traveled to Kyoto ~ Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
I had never traveled solo. Lenora helped me to plan an adventurous tour of Japan. For 2 weeks I toured all over Japan with a tour group. It was fantastic. I made instant friends. I saw geishas, tried traditional sake, slept on a futon, saw Japanese castles and shrines. I took a bullet train for the first time and got to eat a cute little meal inside a mini bullet train box. Every minute I was impressed by Japanese culture and food. I can't wait to go back!

Europe Rail Tour

Reviewed By Tom - Lexington, KY | Traveled to Munich ~ Germany ~ Europe
Our family went on a tour of Europe. We were nervous to use public transport. Lenora encouraged us to buy Eurrail Passes and it was so much fun! We explored so many countries and had some hiccups that ended up being the funniest parts of our trip. We just loved the flexibility of Eurrail Passes and ate and drank our way through Europe!

Nice tour of Japan

Best month of our lives!

Reviewed By Happy Husband - Tallahassee, FL | Traveled to Malaysia ~ East and Southeast Asia
We explored South Asia with Lenora's help. She helped us find the most affordable airlines and cruises. We saw so many countries that it was insane: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia. We had a month to just explore as my wife and I took a whole month off after our last kid went to college. I'll never forget Monkey Park and cruising down the Mekong or snorkeling in lagoons in Thailand. We are forever spoiled with the drinks and massages right on the beach. I highly recommend those visiting this area to get diver certified!

Romantic dream

Reviewed By Newly Engaged - Tallahassee, FL | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
We asked for Lenora's help to see Paris! Unfortunately we did experience some hassles as there were train strikes. I know this wasn't anyone's fault, and we did make the most of it. We changed our plans a little and were able to get to know Paris very well by walking as much as possible. It was a very hot summer, but it was great to be outside at night. It met all of our expectations for romance.

Best time of our lives!

Reviewed By Adventure for Boomers! - Tampa, FL | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Lenora helped us to visit Australia. We wanted to see multiple cities in a short time and needed a lot of help to fit in all of our activities without tiring ourselves out. My husband and I are not spring chickens anymore. Lenora booked our airfare, hotels and tours. She recommended some great parks where we could actually pet kangaroos and hold a wombat. We had the most amazing wine tour in Margaret River. We also snorkeled with whale sharks in Ningaloo and saw wild camels and wallabies on a road trip. We will never forget our time in Australia. To be honest, three weeks was not enough time but it is hard for us to make that long flight. So we are grateful Lenora helped us plan in case we can never get back. We ticked off all of the major cities we wanted to visit and experiences we wanted to have. Thanks so much!

We are in love with Japan!

Reviewed By Old besties - Tallahassee, FL | Traveled to Japan ~ East and Southeast Asia
My friends and I wanted to visit Japan during cherry blossom season! Lenora got us Japan Rail passes and we were able to travel everywhere we wanted easily and see much more than we expected. We were able to see cherry blossoms in multiple cities in lots of settings. We stayed at a traditional inn and went to a private onsen. The food was outstanding and we couldn't believe the prices compared to Tallahassee. Thank you!
