Amazing trips for my 50th!

Andrew the Amazing Agent!!
Reviewed By Lissachris - West Chester | Traveled to London | England | Europe
I wanted to take my daughter on her first trip out of the country but due to unforeseen circumstances I just couldn’t get it together to organize everything on my own so thankfully we discovered Andrew!
With just two weeks notice, we had a detailed phone call where Andrew asked about our travel goals and several email exchanges and he was quickly able to pull together amazing options of hotel, entertainment and restaurant choices at different price points that perfectly fit our personality and interests. He was able to create just the most perfect itinerary for us in London and Edinburgh, Scotland!!
We had the trip of our dreams and Andrew was wonderful at keeping us updated on any changes throughout the process. He also made sure to follow up with us after we got back and sent a sweet gift!
Andrew is extremely organized, detail oriented, obviously loves travel and is knowledgeable about the industry, is fun to work with and most importantly just a very kind person!! I would most definitely recommend him for your next adventure and we will certainly plan to be in touch with him for our future travel plans too!
Thank you Andrew for helping restore my love for travel and inspiring my daughter to want to travel more! We can’t wait to contact you ( hopefully soon) for our next trip!!!

Fun for all seasons!
Reviewed By CJ - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Baja | Baja California Sur | Mexico
This was the third trip Andrew has planned for me, and he continues to impress. He helped me plan a last-minute holiday cruise for my family and showed just as much care as he has with trips where we had so much more time to prepare. From a perfect day in NYC, a magical Disney World vacation with friends, and a family cruise, he knows what he's doing in a variety of situations.

Viking River Cruise from Basel to Amsterdam
Reviewed By Kathy - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
There was nothing for us to do but sit back and relax because Andrew took care of every detail of the trip. From Ubers to flights, booking the cruise and arranging hotels before and after the cruise. Andrew made excellent suggestions of what we should see and do in both Basel and Amsterdam. For example he woke in the middle of the night to secure tickets to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam for us because he knew how much we wanted to tour it. He answered every question and went beyond our expectations to make this trip hassle free for us. He is knowledgeable about all aspects of travel and what he doesn't know he does extensive researches to find the best solutions. We have already booked another 2 cruises with him and he is helping to plan a trip to Italy for us. Best of all he listened to what we wanted from the trip and did his best to make is happen. Andrew was also available to help once the trip began as there were a couple of unforeseen things that cropped up that needed attention. One of the best trips we have taken.
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
