Two permits on two different mornings was the advice that made the trip. The first morning was pure cloud. The second was the hour I will remember for the rest of my life.
The planner nailed our pace on the first try. Two revisions and we were booked. Feels less like a booking site and more like a chief of staff who happens to know East Africa.
I know Lebanon well and still learned things. The Baalbek guide alone was worth the fee. They also checked in on conditions twice before we flew, unprompted.
First time on a small-group trip. Small enough to feel private, hosted enough to not stress. I'd do it again with a different destination in a heartbeat.
Wildlife was extraordinary. The conservancy was worth every dollar over the reserve. Marked down only because one internal flight shifted twice before departure.
Loved 90% of it. The only wobble was a rental car swap in Provence that took an extra 90 minutes. Concierge handled it fast and refunded the wait time without asking.
One neighbourhood a day in Paris, then Luberon by train. No checklist, no rushing, and somehow we saw more than on any trip I have planned myself.
Three days, zero wasted hours. Museum in the morning, souq after dark, desert on the last night. Whoever sequenced this understood how the city actually breathes.
Excellent trip, one honest gripe: the winelands day felt rushed against the rest. Said so, and they rebuilt the day and sent the revision within an afternoon.
