. We just completed the Shades of Ireland tour a month ago, and I can honestly say it couldn’t have been done any better. Every detail of the trip—from the itinerary and routing to the carefully planned events—was handled flawlessly.
Our tour manager was outstanding. His deep knowledge of Ireland’s history and culture, paired with a great sense of humor, made the entire experience both educational and thoroughly enjoyable. He truly enhanced every aspect of the journey.
What really stood out was how easy they made everything for us. Our luggage was delivered right to our rooms upon arrival at each hotel and picked up again in the morning, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. It’s those thoughtful touches that made a big difference.
The weather was also a pleasant surprise—unseasonably good for that time of year—which only added to an already incredible experience.
We couldn’t be happier with the way this tour was executed. Highly recommend to anyone considering a trip to Ireland!

I wanted to see the Badlands and was pleasantly surprised by Culter State Park. Mt. Rushmore monuments and the Crazy Horse 'work in progress' were wonderful. We had a nice walk around Mt. Rushmore on the President's Trail. I had previously been to Yellowstone but it was good to return again. The Grand Tetons were just that - GRAND. A nice side trip to see Devil's Tower was unexpected yet most welcome. We saw lots of wildlife, bison, grizzlies, moose and elk. We had several smaller stops like the Bison Center with a very good talk by the manager.

Our guide was so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna as well as the history and current conditions of Costa Rica and surrounding countries. Learning is so much a part of what we want to experience while traveling. This was an excellent opportunity. A bonus is how absolutely gorgeous Costa Rica is.

This was an amazing tour! When I booked it I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy a pre planned tour, however I was very pleased that everything was handled for us and when there was an issue and plans had to be adjusted we could relax and it was handled for us.
Our tour operator Darko was amazing! I highly recommend this tour. Sky lagoon and Diamond Beach were the highlights for me and of course the northern lights!!
I’d also like a shout out to our driver Daniel he was fabulous!
The experience was truly a once-in-a-lifetime one! Our tour guide was fantastic. Kenya is beautiful and it was amazing to be in nature and enjoy this beautiful earth. Our drivers were the best and we loved building relationships with them.

Loved seeing the red wood forest! The water falls in Oregon. Really enjoyed seeing the grape vineyards in Northern California. Enjoyed touring Seattle & San Francisco.
