Actually, it’s ... Read more from my 96 Hours in Marrakesh story.

Amazing honeymoon in Africa

Reviewed By Michael - Chicago, IL | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
Ian did an amazing job planning/arranging our entire honeymoon. My involvement was limited to identifying the two countries of interest (South Africa and Zimbabwe). Ian did the rest. I was impressed by the amount of activities/site we were able to fit into the two weeks without feeling rushed. Ian was even available over the weekend to help when one of our flights was cancelled due to weather. I would happily work with Ian again!

INCREDIBLE family trip

Reviewed By Carpenters - Phoenix AZ | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
We're all so glad we worked with Ian and his team. We had a massive trip that required a lot of details being tended to, and a lot of conflicting priorities and preferences. Ian was able to sort it all out and determine what would be the best opportunities for us. Some of us had bigger budgets than others; some of us wanted intense hotel services, others wanted more hands-off - Ian and his team sorted all of it out ofr us, we are so happy.

Customer Testimonials

Happy Honeymooners!

My wife and I had Ian Cambata help plan our honeymoon. We could not have been more satisfied.We really didn't know what we wanted in a honeymoon, so we didn't know where to start. Ian sent us some resorts and we commented on what we liked and didn't like - after a few iterations of this he found us the perfect place. Throughout the selection process, Ian was very responsive to email and phone calls which was nice. He would promise a new group of resorts within a couple days and always deliver on time.We went to a small resort in Antigua for 7 nights and had the best vacation either of us have ever had.We will certainly be contacting Ian when we start to plan our next vacation.
