Rock Star Advisor!
Izzy is amazing. His attention to detail and his ability to anticipate my questions and concerns helped me to relax and really enjoy the process of planning the perfect holiday. I tend to be a bit neurotic and a control freak so working with someone who gets me and listens to me is really important. Izzy knows his stuff!

Can't wait to return to New Zealand!
Izzy and I spent weeks planning a dream trip to New Zealand. I told him we wanted the best and gave him an itinerary of what areas we wanted to visit. Izzy took it from there and arranged flights, limo transfers and also got us into the best accommodations imaginable. And he made one great suggestion: we needed to go to Huka Lodge. I hadn't heard of this place but said OK, let's do it. It turned out to be the favorite place we visited during the two weeks.
