“This was a really important trip for me, because it was my first time seeing where my family came from—and we were there on what would have been my grandmother's birthday. Dave understood the significance of this trip and he felt like a real partner in making it happen, and making it fun. The logistics were a breeze with his help, and I can't imagine planning another big trip without him -- especially an international trip to a country where I'm not fluent in the local language.”

From making sure we had parking for our gigantic van in a non driving city, to the most beautiful introduction into the Venice via beautiful water taxi, no detail was overlooked. Our tours were five star and we would not have had such a fantastic time without all the arrangements by David. It was perfecto!”

"David worked very closely with us to cater the trip to our interests. Everything turned out fantastically, from the time we touched down in Johannesburg to the time we departed: transportation, tours, restaurants, museums, and safari—all were seamlessly organized and well-timed. We had an unforgettable time in South Africa, and I can’t wait to return. David goes the extra mile with his clients, I will be recommending him to all my friends and family!"

"Getting eight opinionated women organized for a 40th birthday trip is a tough task- luckily Dave saved the day. He was able to help us make a decision on where to go and then do his magic to make the trip to the Dominican Republic a once in a lifetime experience. We all wanted this vacation to be worry free, high service and relaxing- Dave made that happen for us and more!"
- Rami / D.R.
"Dave was super helpful in assisting me in planning a ski trip for a group from my office. I had my eye on two condos that I wanted to rent for my group, and Dave was able to connect with the property manager and save me over $1,000 on them. His helpfulness didn't stop with lodging; he also did the dirty work of keeping details organized, assisted with equipment rental and transportation and was quick to provide a handful of restaurant and activity recommendations. His services were more than worth it and helped keep me sane as I planned our trip. Can't thank you enough! "
