Taylor was great! We had a great time and made several new friends. We appreciated the options for hotels.we are frequent travelers but thought the tips were well thought out for those who may not travel often or who have traveled internationally before.

We suck at planning things to do when we go on vacation, so having everything planned for us already was great. We didn’t have to think about getting game tickets, plane tickets, book a hotel, or how to go sight seeing because it was all included. For us, this was a fantastic value and experience.
