Testimonials

Vietnam and Cambodia was truly one of the best trips of our lives…I love and appreciate that everywhere I go my food restrictions are respected and I can enjoy the local food…Thank you so much for making this trip so memorable for us!
~ I.S., Setauket, NY

Our time in Japan was really lovely, we enjoyed it thoroughly…our guide gave us a laminated card explaining our nut allergy in Japanese. We used this card MANY times during the trip and it put our minds very much at ease.
~ P.C., New York City, NY

The site, staff, and wildlife in Kenya are great. The food is mind-bogglingly good…And they were totally on board with our special requests–to walk and the dietary restrictions–without us needing to remind them.
~ L.M., New York, NY
