Iceland Anniversary Travel!
Honestly feeling great as that was one of the top 5 trips of my lifetime. Can' THANK YOU enough for all your help/planning as well as the extra nice little present in Vik. You're a natural at this!!!:))
Happy to provide additional feedback as well, if you like, and do whatever I can to promote your company. We've already had 3 people email us and ask "we want your itinerary" - so I'm hoping we can get you some good referral clients from this!
