Wonderful vacations for small groups
Reviewed By Varner - Loveland, CO | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
When planning a special destination for your vacation, having an experienced & knowledgeable travel consultant is a must. Paul has traveled the world and his adventures, experiences and personal knowledge makes him the very best. He has coordinated and planned many vacations over the past several years for us and our group of friends from cruises and various destinations, including Mexico & Jamaica. Paul helped us navigate our travels during COVID-19, which was a very scary and unsure time when traveling internationally. Paul is not just there to book and plan your vacation, he is there also to help when there is an unplanned issue. He gets it resolved quickly, so your vacation doesn’t miss a beat! We are looking forward to more exciting adventures with Paul by our side! The Varner’s

Cape Town and winelands
Reviewed By KR - Mandan, North Dakota | Traveled to Cape Town ~ South Africa ~ Africa
From start to end he was very helpful and full of knowledge. Very satisfied with everything. We reacted to one of his Facebook post and started talking. A real highlight was that he could introduce us to people with remarkable stories to tell. Christo Brand who met Mandela on Robben Island in 1978. Christo was a young man of 18, Mandela 60. A strange friendship started growing that lasted until Mandela's death. Also Iqshaan Amlay, arrested as a young boy of 15 and thrown into maximum security for terrorism. He was convicted for terrorism while demonstrating for better education and human rights. Ended up in Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison under Christo Brands watch and met Mandela in prison. The rest of the story you should hear from these people direct.

You can't miss with Paul
Reviewed By Jason - Montgomery, Texas | Traveled to Kenya ~ Africa
Paul is an exemplary travel planner. He has put together several trips for us, including an amazing 14 day Kenyan safari. Every attention to detail was maintained, and Paul really works to anticipate the needs of his clients. He puts work into the small details that make trip truly memorable. He not only plans trips for clients, but he spends a good amount of time traveling and researching tour options so he can make informed decisions for his clients. I have referred several friends to him because I trust his skills as a planner.

    Gorilla trekking in Rwanda

    I love Africa and I have several favorite countries and activities. However, one country stands out among many. That is RWANDA, the small central African country is full of wonder. From the amazingly hospitable people, their pride and cleanliness, their tragic history and their gorillas, it is a must go to destination. On my recent...
