Fantastic first trip to South America!
My month long trip to Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, and Buenos Aires was an amazing trip of a lifetime. From the start Brian helped with airlines and provided multiple choices for places to stay. All the hotels I selected from Brian’s suggestions were in great locations and worked out perfectly. Brian also provided a list of things to do at each location and recommended tours. Before I left on the trip Brian provided a summary of my itinerary with all the airlines, hotels, suggested tours and things to do. I used this throughout the trip and easily booked tours I wanted to take by just clicking on the links provided. This made my day to day planning easy and I could just enjoy each day. Thank you Brian for all the help in planning this great trip!

San Diego Trip
We went to San Diego and it was great weather. Brian picked a nice hotel for us. He gave us ideas of things to do like Coronado Island and Seal Beach. We hiked and/or drove up Mt. Helix and Mt. Soledad where we could get great views of the area. We saw an old Spanish mission which was cool. And he gave us awesome food recommendations. Thanks for all of the suggestions. It was a great trip. I'd highly recommend Brian's service and expertise to anyone!

Great short trip!
I wanted to visit Central America for a short 4 or 5 day trip just to get out a little during the winter. Brian suggested Antigua, Guatemala. He booked a nonstop from Chicago to Guatemala City and I had a hotel shuttle pick me up and take me to Antigua. Great city, great culture and history. I hiked a volcano, hiked the mountain that overlooks Antigua, and enjoyed the food and bars. It was the perfect getaway for the winter blues I was feeling.

Fun in the Desert Sun!
I have never been to Palm Springs, but I know Brian has been and I asked him to help me plan a trip there for me and my partner. We stayed at a lovely hotel with a unique vibe. Brian was able to give us restaurant recommendations and suggested many places to visit off the beaten path. He told me he likes to explore places of interest by car and that is what we had in mind. So he helped us rent a car and went to 1000 Palms, Whitewater Preserve, Joshua Tree (of course), Pioneertown, The Living Desert Zoo, and took a drive around the San Jacinto mountains to Idyllwild. We are looking forward to going back and exploring more unique places. Thanks, Brian!

Amazing trip to Latin America
I was in search of finding a travel agent that could help me book a multi-destination solo trip to Latin America. While I initially considered planning it myself, someone encouraged me to work with a travel agent and I stumbled upon Brian's profile and ended up working with him. He helped me diligently plan the trip to three different countries. I wouldn't have been able to effectively do it without his services nor was I aware of where to go. Overall, I was very satisfied with the services Brian provided and will use him again for future travel!
