Amazing trip to Egypt thanks to Lisa
Reviewed By Liz - Everett, ON | Traveled to Egypt | Africa
Lisa has organized 3 big trips for me. She is so organized at finding exactly what I am looking for, and as I am a frugal traveller, she has found the best prices. My trip to Egypt so far is on the top of my world travel experiences, all thanks to Lisa. I have 2 more trips coming up this year that Lisa has helped me plan. She listens to my wants and stays within my budget. She is friendly, patient and funny. I know I am in good hands with Lisa!

Gorillas of Uganda
Reviewed By Gmom - Tampa, Florida | Traveled to Uganda | Africa
I always wanted to visit the gorillas in Uganda. I did not realize all the other wonderful things Uganda had to offer. Lisa found and organized a wonderful trip that incorporated chimpanzees, the "Big 5", cultural experiences and some amazing landscapes. The accommodations were wonderful and provided delicious food options. It was a very smooth planning experience that took into account all the things I was interested in. I have been to Africa many, many times, my experience from beginning to end with Lisa was wonderful! I would recommend and plan future trips with Lisa!
Lisa Watson responded
"Thank you so much for your review Gmom. Primate trekking still sits at the top of my list as well for the most wonderful adventures I've completed in the past. Looking forward to seeing you back in Africa in future! "

Penguins, penguins and more penguins!
Reviewed By Phoenix - Kingston, Ontario | Traveled to Antarctica
I first met Lisa when she was planning a trip to of all places, Antarctica. And guess what? It was #1 on my bucket list. Lisa had already done extensive research on all the possible service providers for this voyage and selected the best of the best. We went with Quark Expeditions. Her research and planning made our trip of a lifetime even more memorable because we were not simply observers on a ship but active participants in an expedition. What an adventure! Lisa was also the perfect roommate and we had the most amazing trip ever. Thanks Lisa for making my wildest travel dreams come true. Oh and yes we both did the Polar Plunge!
Lisa Watson responded
"Thanks for your rave review. Planning an adventure such as Antarctica takes time and research to perfect the ideal itinerary to suit each individuals needs. I'm so happy our preferences and desires aligned and we were able to enjoy this once in a lifetime adventure in path of Shackleton live and in person, together. I look forward to helping plan many future adventures as your venture down your bucket list."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
