Trip of a lifetime

I have been working with Chris and his team on behalf of my clients for the past one year. In a nutshell, I couldn't have picked a better partner. His ability to manage situations (as things are extremely fluid during adventures), remain calm, problem solves and handle updates is beyond exemplary. Thank you for everything that you do.
