Rick was the fist of the 3 to contact me and it has been a pleasure working with him. I told him the area I would like to visit and the activities I would like to experience along with a budgeted dollar amount. He replied quickly with 2 options of location along with a brief synopsis of each. From there he has incorporated my wishes into an itinerary that works both with my personal wants and budget figure. I cannot as yet book this trip because I want to go in May 2010 and we cannot lock in rates this early but, I will book with Rick as soon as possible if dollar figures stay within the same area. I would recommend Rick to any of my family or friends and will, if I hear of them planning a trip.

Rick has been a pleasure to work with. His responses to my questions are extremely prompt and he is very personable. Not only was he very knowledgeable but he was also very honest about our options. I feel extremely confident entrusting our trip to him and I would definitely recommend his services to a friend.
