Africa....what a dream vacation!!!!
Reviewed By Sue - Deland, FL | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
Amanda is the epitome of a professional. Our group recently traveled to South Africa and her planning made this trip perfect. It is evident that Africa is her favorite country. Amanda shares her extensive knowledge in an easy manner, and her love for Africa is contagious. She made this trip everything we imagined it would be, and so much more than we could have ever imagined. She had a “document party" prior to the trip and answered every question easily, putting to rest any reservations we may have had about traveling on such an exotic adventure. Twice during the trip our group asked to do different excursions than had been planned. Due to her knowledge and preplanning, we easily changed excursions without a problem. Her planning abilities are excellent and we have two more exotic trips booked with her already!

Bucket-list trip
Reviewed By Valeries386 - New Smyrna Beach FL | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
Amanda always puts together bucket-list trips that check off everything I would like to do in that Country in the shortest amount of time. She advises us based on our itinerary what paperwork we need, sends useful articles on our destination of what to expect and even helpful advice on how to pack. Any changes to schedule she takes care of and lets us know as soon as possible. She answers any questions I have by email promptly. I have taken several group trips with Amanda and she helps with all the little details to make my trip as stress free as possible. Can't wait to plan another trip with Amanda!

AMAZING AFRICAN ADVENTURE
Reviewed By Kathy P - Deltona, Fl | Traveled to Africa
I booked a trip to Africa (Cape Town, Botswana & Zimbabwe) with Amanda. She did a wonderful job. I cannot express how awesome of a job she did planning the vacation to the most minute detail for my husband and myself. My travels are a bit more difficult than normal since I am handicapped and travel with a electric wheelchair. Amanda made sure that my trip was handicapped accessible, as in Africa Handicapped Accessible is very different than here in the USA. The trip was the most EXCITING, AMAZING, trip I have ever been on in my lifetime and I well travelled ! I feel that My African Adventure was pure joy. I am planning to go back to Africa again in 2020 and I definitely 1000% will have Amanda do all the planning for piece of mind.

Excellent River Cruise on the Mekong
River cruising is relaxing and offers a wonderful way to visit many beautiful places within the comfort of your own “moving hotel”. The best part about a river cruise to us was, because of the limited number of guests onboard, you really do meet and become friends with almost everyone! It’s like a family that is traveling together! The crew, staff and guides provided by Ama on our Vietnam and Cambodia experience were so extraordinary, There is another reason besides loving the Ama experience that we booked another cruise with them: it is because of Amanda herself. She and her husband George were both on our Vietnam trip, and Amanda was “everywhere…taking care of everything…for everyone”…in the group that traveled with her from Deland. Her warmth, genuine care and concern for all her guests and their needs was remarkable; it wasn’t forced or calculated…it was just Amanda being herself. By the end of the trip, she was “ours” for life! Video review: https://youtu.be/A7mPStwcBZ8
