Honeymoon Adventure to New Zealand and Australia
Good morning Albert!

Our honeymoon went perfect outside of the croc express so really can’t complain about that. Rotorua was probably our favorite city because of the location and how walkable the city was. We went to see the redwood forest and did all the hot springs spas. Waimangu volcanic valley was amazing and looked like it was out of Jurassic park. If we had to do it again we would probably do all New Zealand for 2.5 weeks because we had to move so much. Australia was also amazing. You guys did a great job planning out trip!

Memorable Journey with Amazing Experiences!
"We really enjoyed all of the scheduled activities that were planned for us from the Burj Khalifa to dune bashing to the Abu Dhabi day trip. All of our tour guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The hotel and the resort we stayed at in both Dubai and the Maldives were beautiful and staff made our stays even more lovely. The only thing we would have changed is the time of year we went to the Maldives because of the extremely windy and rainy weather we experienced which we of course know is out of everyone’s control. Overall it was an incredible trip we will remember for the rest of our lives.”

Birthday Vacation to Vietnam & Thailand
My trip to Vietnam and Thailand has been wonderful, and I’m so sad it’s coming to an end. The lantern festival was absolutely magical—just like a dream come true. It was even more beautiful than I imagined. This journey will stay in my heart forever!
