“Ahmed has helped us plan the trip of our lives to Egypt and Jordan. When I reached out to Rough Guides and only provided a sketch idea of a few things I wanted to make sure that we experienced, Ahmed responded with an itinerary that is so comprehensive and amazing! He hit the number of in-country days and the budget that we set. We are so excited for this trip and only have a little bit of fine tuning left to do with Ahmed. I can’t believe how easy he made all of our planning and what a great resource Rough Guides has been!”

Trip to Brazil and Argentina

“Eric Van Hecke crafted an unforgettable experience for us in Argentina and Brazil. During the planning process, he was patient and worked to tailor the trip to our specific requests. Our hotel stays, transfers, and guides were wonderful. We got off to a rocky start in Rio and Eric stopped by the restaurant to meet us. He listened to our concerns and made a much appreciated change. What a surprise that he came to personally meet us. Throughout our travels he was always available by telephone. Eric’s planning allowed us to relax and enjoy our time in South America with worrying about flights, transfers, and booking private excursions. Thank you!”
