I always wanted to visit China, but didn’t know where to start. I’m so happy I found Jane and she planned a two week trip where I experienced the best of China. She arranged warm, welcoming local guides in three distinct parts of China. So, although I was traveling solo, I never felt alone. I started in a beautiful ancient village and then spent a day trekking along the Great Wall of China, tiring, but totally worth it! After exploring all the sights of Beijing, I flew to Sichuan province for more great adventures. Jane organized a volunteer experience for me at a panda center where I got to feed a giant panda! I hiked to many mountain temples and had hotpot dinner in Chengdu. Next I took a comfortable train to Guilin, where she arranged bicycle tours, a bamboo raft adventure, cave tours, and even a little rock climbing. The best part was the sunrise over the Li river. Breathtaking! Jane inspired me to be more adventurous and made this trip possible with her creativity and connections.

My wife and I just got back from a perfect Italian getaway! Jane helped us plan a great itinerary and booked all the flights and hotels for us. We loved everywhere we stayed and wouldn’t have changed a thing. The sights, the food, it couldn’t have been better. Jane’s services as a trip advisor were worth every penny. We are already talking to her about planning our next trip!

Jane recently helped us plan a trip to Las Vegas for our son’s 18 th birthday. She found and recommended a beautiful and chill hotel just 2 blocks off the strip with a great pool, where we could see the Las Vegas Sphere! She made everything easy, from the rental car pickup, to the hotel booking, the events, and of course, the flights. She gave us plenty of options to build a packed agenda, which included family friendly such as seeing the unbelievable magic of David Copperfield (a UFO appeared over our heads and flew onto the stage), indoor skydiving for our son, and an incredible Thai dinner (our son’s favorite!) at a beautiful restaurant modeled after a traditional silk factory. We all had a great time in Las Vegas, even though we are not gamblers, and our son’s 18th birthday was really special. Jane has so much experience planning family trips, it was like she knew exactly what he would want to do. Thanks to Jane for planning the perfect trip for us. Such a fun way to celebrate!

I have been wanting to go to Moab with my boyfriend of 4 years, but had no idea where to stay and when to go. I loved talking with Jane! She was so knowledgeable and has been visiting Moab for years, so she knew all the best places to go. She hooked us up with insider info – an awesome hotel with a waterpark, great hikes like Grandstaff Canyon and East Portal, great restaurants, and even told us about the dinosaur prints at the Poison Spider
Trailhead! So incredible. I would have been so lost without Jane’s help and guidance. I feel like she saved me 100 hours of research! Overall, the trip was so fun. We had lots of time to be together in such a beautiful place! Thank you Jane!

In the past, planning our big extended family trips has been pretty challenging. Well, not this time! We hired Jane to plan our trip and she was able to get all four different families on the same page – a difficult task, to say the least! She booked us a wonderful villa overlooking the ocean in the amazing Algarve region of southern Portugal. Our itinerary was open and relaxed, with some excursions to local towns and castles, and a very cool boat tour of the coastal rock formations. We had lots of sunshine and time to explore the stunning beaches and cliffs just a short (and beautiful) walk from the villa. The kids played in our private pool while we lounged and enjoyed a locally produced vinho verde after lunch. The seafood and atmosphere at the beachfront restaurant just a short walk away kept us coming back! Overall, the trip was incredible, and it never would have happened without Jane’s great communication and planning skills. Jane – thank you - From ALL of our family

Working with Jane to plan our Scotland trip was amazing! She helped us accomplish our goal of seeing the highlands on a budget with her innovative approach. Because we planned this trip shortly before our travel window, and because of our desire for adventure, she suggested we rent and travel by motorhome. This single decision defined our trip in the most beautiful way! With our two young kids riding comfortably in the back, we roamed casually around the country, following Jane's carefully planned route that included castles, incredible scenery, lochs in abundance, waterfalls and monoliths, quaint and beautiful Scottish towns, and of course- highland cows! I can't imagine doing this trip any other way, and Jane has our deep thanks for her innovative idea that powered our incredible journey.

After reading Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love, I was motivated to visit Bali, Indonesia.My husband and I are in our mid sixties and didn't feel comfortable planning such an adventurous trip on our own.Luckily we found Jane Wilson who planned what turned out to be marvelous, magical trip.From the first evening at a tropical paradise on Balangan Beach to our last day at a luxurious Pemuteran Beach resort we were able to see many wonderful sights and have many memorable experiences. We filled our days visiting ancient historical and religious sites, taking photographs of exotic plants and wildlife, snorkeling, shopping at outdoor markets, watching dolphins jumping at sunrise, but also had time to lounge around the pool and walk along the beach. At night we were immersed in the rich Indonesian culture, enjoying native music, dancing,and food. Jane planned the trip of a lifetime for us.

My wife and I wanted to see a little of France and asked for Jane's assistance. Jane suggested that we might enjoy seeing a little bit of Switzerland also. So, from the first nights that we spent in the Marais District in Paris we knew we were on a trip of a lifetime! As we traveled to the Dordogne region, seeing castles and cave paintings to Chamonix and beyond all the accommodations were quaint, comfortable, and affordable. We were thrilled that Jane had suggested visiting Switzerland as the experience of seeing Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen was thrilling and breathtaking! It became clear to my wife and I that Jane’s friendly and enthusiastic approach to trip planning was a reflection of her kind nature and love of traveling. We happily recommend having Jane help plan your next trip!

As SCUBA enthusiasts, my husband and I were excited and a little nervous to try a new location. We normally dive the Pacific side of Mexico around Cabo, so going diving the Carribean was an entirely new experience for us. We knew that the diving was supposed to be great, but Curacao was an entirely different world! Jane booked our hotels and found us great deals on guided dive trips, which she coordinated. We did several guided shore dives, a 3 dive boat trip, and lots of snorkeling in the evening. The pure, pristine water, colorful live coral, and beautiful sea life made this the trip of a lifetime. Our gratitude to Jane for finding us 2 outstanding, oceanside cliff hotels, and recommending the mid-trip location change to see more of the small but beautiful country of Curacao.

Our family had such an amazing time in Costa Rica! Pura Vida, as the locals say. From ziplining through the rainforest, to animal tours (we saw a sloth!), to sitting at the incredible beach bar at Samara beach, this trip was everything we wanted and more. Can't thank Jane enough for her excellent planning skills. Speaking to her on the phone I learned that she had not only visited Costa Rica several times, but also spent an entire summer studying in the rainforest there. Her knowledge of the "hot spots" made choosing our itinerary easy and fun. She talked us through the whole process, and made all the reservations. Six stars, if that were an option. Thank you Jane!!!

The excellent and thoughtful Jane planned my birthday fly-fishing trip to Punta Allan in Mexico. Before talking to Jane, I had only a vague idea of what I wanted - fly fishing for bonefish on saltwater flats. She took it from there- suggesting several locations and helping me to narrow it down to Punta Allan. She found me excellent accommodations right on the beach, where my guide picked me up for each day's adventure. This trip had it all- excellent fishing with great guides, super food each evening, and a beautiful and remote location. She really addressed everything I was looking for and listened to what was important to me. If you are looking for someone to build a CUSTOM trip, for YOU, I highly recommend Jane!
