Dear Jo,
A long overdue email to you. My girls had a really tremendous trip. All down to you for incredible planning, great flexibility and astonishing action at short notice. This trip went from dream to execution in the space of 3 weeks. Your support in collecting Visas as the girls passports became available for days and hours was second to none. I have a forensic attitude towards service and product delivery and I rate you amongst the best I’ve encountered. It is without reservation that I recommend your product – you being an intrinsic part of it.

Kind regards,
Lynda Warren
