"OMG---this was the best experience ever! We have used Enchanting Travels for other trips and had such great experiences that we used them for our trip to Costa Rica and they truly went over and above. We went with our good friends, two other couples, and Alison Felfoldi was our coordinator and she did such an awesome job! It was a big birthday for me and when I got to the room they had the most beautiful bouquet of flowers and a lovely cheese board. Then when we went to dinner, she set up a beautiful treetop dining experience overlooking the rainforest and city below on my birthday. We stayed in 3 different locations throughout Costa Rica and each time she had drivers to meet our party and take us on our journeys. The drivers were very informative and helpful as some of the locations were 3-4 hours driving distance. The resorts we stayed at were all fabulous and the excursions were so much fun. We did have heavy rains on one occasion, but were still able to enjoying the birds and wildlife as the storm cleared up while on our trek. Also, I have knee problems and had a knee replacement surgery scheduled for when I returned. Alison made sure that she got me a cane for all the hikes that we would go on. All and all it was a truly wonderful experience!!"

"Rio is nothing but a busy city by the beach. Come to Copacabana to stretch. Maybe worth of couple of days. Best was our guide Augusto. What a wonderful man! The sail boat with two wonderful girls, captain and sailor, around lagoune and view of the city from the water, was by far the best of 3-days experience. For us. I don't claim to speak for all."

"I just got home from a wonderful trip hosted by Chris Hill with Hands Up Holidays. He took myself and a few other travel advisors from around the US to Costa Rica to give us a taste in 4 days of what we could send our clients to do. Highlights from this trip were touring the amazing food markets in San Jose and then having a cooking class with Eric and Maria in Maria’s home and enjoying the fabulous ceviche and empanadas we made. Then touring the Finca Rosa Blanca organic coffee plantation and Poas volcanoe tour on our way to the Arenal area. Then we were able to enjoy Tabacon resort and thermal spa. Hot springs create warm pools and waterfalls through the property. Gorgeous and so restorative. Then we were able to explore the rain forest at Sky Hike and see the breathtaking views of the mountains, rain forest and Arenal lake while zip lining. Quite an adventure!! But what made this trip unique and so extra special was the volunteer opportunities we were able to participate in. It was only a short trip but the time we were able to work in the medical clinic that serves mostly refugees from Nicaragua was so rewarding. Being able to speak with the patients and see what this wonderful program FIMRC.org is doing first hand and contribute even if just for little while,really filled your heart. The medical facilities, day care, special needs programming and soup kitchen are all so beautifully run but with so much need for supplies, funds and extra hands. Thank you Chris for this experience!! What a special company this is! Chris Hill has built a wonderful company combining luxury travel, cultural immersion and volunteer opportunities and partnerships. This would be a wonderful experience for my clients that want to explore the world and gIve back to the communities they visit. My clients will love Hands Up Holidays."

"I worked with Garvey to plan my dream trip to Patagonia. It was a two-week trip, we started in Buenos Aires, took the Australis cruise through the Tierra del Fuego fjords, visited Torres del Paine staying at the Explora Lodge and ended the trip in Santiago. All of the guides that Garvey arranged for excursions were excellent. Garvey managed the travel logistics between the different locations so that our experience in South America was seamless. Overall Lost World Adventures was a great travel agent for us. I had worked with this company previously for a trip to visit Angel Falls in Venezuela and hike the Machu Picchu trail in Peru, which was also fantastic."
