Magnificent Honeymoon
Reviewed By Andrea P - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to United Kingdom ~ Europe
Brian was very helpful from the beginning stages of planning our trip, all the way through the very last day when we had last minute questions regarding our flight home. He listened to all of our ideas, and created an itinerary that incorporated everything my husband and I wanted to do. Brian even included suggestions for things to do, places to see, and restaurants in every city we visited. I'm glad we trusted Brian with our honeymoon. We travelled to England, Scotland, and Ireland - and Brian ensured we got the best experience we could have imagined!
Brian Whitacre responded
"Thank you for your kind words, Andrea! It was an absolute pleasure crafting your honeymoon adventure across England, Scotland, and Ireland. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed every aspect of your trip. If wanderlust beckons again, I'm here to ensure your next journey is just as fantastic. Cheers to unforgettable memories!"

Thank you Brian! Our dream trip
Reviewed By The Alexanders - Salem, Oregon | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
My wife & I had the most wonderful time in Ireland – lots of memories were made! Brian helped us tremendously! All the arrangements (hotels, car rental, tours) went as planned. Booking through him was easy and it made our lives so much easier. We were struggling to come up with an efficient itinerary and almost gave up, but thank goodness we reached out to Brian. He is extremely professional, patient, has great follow through and offered us plenty of options for our trip. Brian really took the time to understand our wants and needs and we felt taken care of from the beginning to the end of our trip. He provided us with a detailed itinerary which was accessible & easy to navigate. We avoided long wait times because of how prepared we were. We brought forward last minute changes and Brian was so fast at providing solutions. We are extremely happy with the level of care and services we were provided by Brian. It was the best way to celebrate our 10 years together. Thank you!!!

Long time dream vacation come true
Reviewed By Davey1954 - Beaverton, Or | Traveled to London ~ England ~ Europe
Brian was very thorough and made sure not only was our hotel close to the tube for easy transportation to see the sites, but also the day before we left he booked us a hotel 1/2 block from the Heathrow express. He helps get the City pas for easy on and off the tube and Go London for our tours and sight seeing. He recommended a few sites to see and arranged our train trip to and from London to Sterling Scotland
