Japan

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Japan, we love the people and the places we visit, but all of this would not have been possible without the great job that Yasuko did organizing the trip, she is a true professional and took care of every detail that makes us welcome in Japan

Brazil

Hello Viviane It was the queen/kiing of vacations! I travel a lot and this was one of the best. Your organization of the event was excellent. We had enough time to organize our own outings, we went to RIO Scenarium as you suggested, went to the museum of tomorrow. Did the speed boat to the falls, went swimming with the dolphins, saw the alligator. We even saw a Macau. The hotels were amazing too. the hotel staff were very good. the roof top pool in Hilton was so lovely. The hotel and its location in Sao Paulo was good. The guides were pretty good. The internal flights worked so well. We had time to hire a taxi and see Brasília. Beautiful cities, beautiful country. No complaints. In fact we want to send you a bottle of wine. If you give me your personal email, I would like to send you some money so that you can enjoy a bottle of wine. Thank you so much.

Costa Rica

Just wanted to say thank you. My son and his college buddy had the best time in Costa Rica! You set up an amazing trip for them, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Everything was perfect. I appreciate your quick response to them when they needed to rearrange things a bit on the third day. I will definitely recommend you to others who are traveling to Costa Rica.

We spent two weeks in Argentina, visiting four different regions: Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, El Calafate, and Mendoza. Rough guides arranged all of our hotels, domestic flights, and local transportation, and helped us with a couple of excursions. We were 100% satisfied with the services they provided: the hotels were all very good; the local guides that met us at each airport were super friendly and helpful; and their WhatsApp service was really responsive - even helped us recover an item of clothing we left in a hotel in Buenos Aires. We will definitely use their services for future trips.
