The easiest and most stress free trip!
Reviewed By Lady Dutcher - Kihei, HI | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Christa is amazing. She found me hotels and excursions I didn't realized I needed lol! We recently went to Japan and were only considering visiting Tokyo and Kyoto/Osaka. But Christa threw out the idea of going to Hakone where we would then have our own private onsen and FULL Japanese hospitality (omakase breakfast and dinner, kimonos, etc). It was the highlight of our trip! We would have totally overlooked this place had she not made the recommendation. I also had some other ideas on what I wanted to do, she found me multiple options. After a little back and forth, we were able to nail down the itineray and book it! I love that I didn't have to book any of the excursions or hotels and that Christa was my main point of contact from beginning to end. I've since recommended Christa to all of my family and friends and we are currently in the process of booking another trip (this time to Portugal and Spain). Do yourself a favor and reach out to Christa.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

East Java Logistical Success
Reviewed By zacharyn - Miami, Florida | Traveled to Indonesia | East and Southeast Asia
We have experience traveling in Indonesia but this was our first trip to Java. Christa was instrumental in making our trip a successful one. We had a tentative itinerary but Christa reworked it because she realized we were going to end up in the car more than enjoying our vacation. She planned out a great schedule which allowed us to visit the locations on our list more efficiently. Christa set us up with a great driver and guide. They were knowledgeable, personable, willing to help in any way, and happily modified our itinerary to suit our desires. Christa's planning was spot on. The trip was a great experience and thanks to her we didn't have to worry about anything. We just enjoyed ourselves and the adventure.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Hakone, Japan, not on your radar? It should be....
Reviewed By zacharyn - Miami, Florida | Traveled to Hakone | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
We already had our itinerary planned out for our two weeks in Japan. Christa suggested we might want to stop in Hakone. What a great suggestion! She set us up in a traditional Japanese onsen. It was the epitome of luxurious relaxation. The hotel was an intimate 8 room resort with a wonderful staff and a spa like setting. She booked us an incredible suite with a hot tub on the balcony. We had elaborate kaiseki meals in our room which she had arranged. The hotel staff were attentive but not overbearing and the hotel was walking distance into town but tucked away with a view of the volcano. Christa surprised us by planning a destination for us which we hadn't considered and it turned out to be our favorite
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing
Reviewed By zacharyn - Miami, Fl. | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Working with Christa was fantastic. We told her what we'd ideally want on our Tokyo vacation and she delivered. She set us up with a great tour guide and a driver, covered all of the logistics, and all we had to do was enjoy the experience.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
