Wow... what a trip!!
This was by far the best decision we made in regard to our honeymoon. With all the planning we had to do for the wedding, taking on the task of planning a honeymoon was the last thing on our minds. We had never used a travel agent before but now we are completely hooked! My husband found David and it couldn't have worked out better. After an initial call to describe what we were looking for, David made some recommendations and then came up with two different itineraries for us to consider. We ultimately chose Bali and we stayed in two different areas. To say the trip went more than perfect would be an understatement. Everything he set up for us was more than we could have imagined. Both resorts were incredible. I don't think we would have come anywhere close to planning such an amazing trip on our own. Having David's experience and recommendations is invaluable so you know you are really spending your money wisely. We will definitely be using David in the future to plan our

We had the BEST trip!!
My wife and I were delighted with the travel planning and support we got from David on a recent trip to Spain and Portugal. David developed a fabulous itinerary that accomplished all our goals, allowing a lot of experience and a reasonable pace/free time. We were especially amazed by the personal tour guides, who made each stop come alive with their local knowledge and generous time. The hotels were great, each reflecting local culture and in great locations for exploring. David also provided a amazing travel app that enabled all the details of travel seamlessly. We found David to be an excellent value and would definitely use him again.

Our Dream trip!!!
Amazing experience with David!!! My husband and I just returned from our dream trip to Italy, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Everything was expertly planned to perfection. David let us totally relax while every detail of the trip (airport transport, hotels, excursions, etc) was seamlessly handled. When we almost missed a flight or when we accidentally left valuables in one hotel, he proactively made sure we were taken care of. I will always use David for my personal trips and will recommend them to my business for professional trips!!

The most Amazing Family trips!!
David has coordinated two excellent trips for my family to Mexico and Costa Rica. It was such a relief and weight off my shoulders for him handle all the travel logistics from our flights (CA, FL and IL), transfers, rooms, tours, activities and any other travel related needs we needed. David arranged the best located ocean view rooms at the resorts and we received VIP treatment the whole time. Planning family trips is very challenging for me, so handing it off to David was a blessing. He dealt with any issues that came up and it was such a relief!! The hotel David suggested in both Mexico and Costa Rica was absolutely stunning, with amazing service and we visited places I would of never thought of. We had the most amazing of trips. I will continue to use David's services for all my trips. Thank you David!
