Nicole, John Dash and Smith and nephew are lucky to have you as their travel agent – you are a star madam – professional – organized and precise (all of which I am not ).

I was really worried how much this trip would knock me around for the forth coming week but everything you did worked perfectly and having pre organized transfers mad us feel extra special .

So thank you from the bottom of my weary heart !!

- Dr Andrew Graham QLD

Please forgive that it has taken so long to get back to you – it was an utterly unforgettable holiday! We had such a good time and yes, the boat, was fantastic! Even Donald is now convinced that cruising is a wonderful way to holiday:-) Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into coordinating the different aspects of our holiday and also for being patient with our decision making! Our friends loved the cruise, too and I hope they will get back to you about their impressions. I lie in bed at night and think of all the wonderful places we have seen and it makes me smile!

- Dr Deanna and Dr Donald Pitchford QLD

- Iris Devlin QLD

I was just thinking about you and how I must send through a HUGE THANK YOU!!!!
We had the most amazing holiday and everything went so smoothly.
Would love to catch up when you are up – perhaps on the Sunday??

Talk soon and Happy New Year!

- Jen McCafferty QLD

All went very well thanks – a great holiday. The logistics were all smooth and the venues good. Accommodation: mainly great especially Titilaka Lodge.

Let down a bit by the Casa Andina Private Collection in Cusco but all other hotels great. Trek: amazing – what a team of porters, cook and guide! We were well looked after – and Machu Picchu a stunning end-point.

A&K reps: all great. Best was Layla, who looked after us in Cusco and Sacred Valley. also Julio, the guide at Titlaka was brilliant.

Food: highs – generally great menus and food, especially Paracas, Trek, Titilaka. The restaurant that Wayne chose for his birthday in Cusco, Map Cafe, was amazing – put it on your list of recommendations for future clients!

Absolute stand out for me was the food on the trek prepared by our chef Tourivio (not sure of spelling) – completely amazing healthy food under challenging conditions, and our porters – all from the same community in Ollantaytambo.

Overall really brilliant – thanks for your help.

best wishes

Julia and Andy

I have been thinking of you…I want you to know, we had a fabulous trip!!! It was all perfect…the Hotel Rivoli in Florence was absolutely lovely, the decor was gracious and welcoming and so was the staff..certainly recommend it !!! And it had a three star Michelin rating…we only had one formal dinner there, but it was delicious!

Do want to say thank you for all your input and guidance…and it was all just wonderful!!! Lots of love, Mary

- Mary Gaffney QLD

All I can say about our trip is that it was PERFECT in every way. Every day was wonderful and fantastic and amazing. The weather was spectacular, the cruise was incredible, the food was delicious, the wine was fabulous ( especially in Spain) and it is so nice to think about it and talk about it again. It was amazing travelling with Sal, we had such a good time, and the Mediterranean men are certainly handsome !! We had fabulous seats on Emirates with lots of leg room, of course the coming home was the hard part. It does feel a bit like a dim memory but I have the 5,500 photos to remind me again and again. Keep in touch and take care
