My Reviews

Tuscany

I can’t thank Ian enough for the incredible trip he planned for us in Tuscany, Italy. He found us a gorgeous resort and even managed to get us a discount on a spa package! Ian also helped us with travel insurance and provided a detailed list of things to do in the area. His quick responses and proactive communication made the entire process so easy. This was the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had, and we owe it all to Ian. Highly recommend his services!
