Fabulous Cruise

I have had the best experience working with Barb - she has organized a number of trips for me and she is so easy to work with and answers promptly to every question. We recently completed a cruise to Australia/New Zealand that Barb coordinated for us.

Customer Testimonials

Scotland Heritage Trip

We had the most amazing trip visiting the Isle of Lewis to visit my wife's grandtather's home. You arranged everything even better than we could imagine. From the Ghost Tour in Edinburgh to the Ferry to Stornoway and everything in between. Everything was awesome! Your attention to detail was just what we wanted. We will be back! Thanks for planning this amazing trip!
