Very Accommodating

SoQ was incredibly responsive to all of my questions and requests. He was able to take us to all the places we wanted to go, including picking us up from the cruise port, and dropping us off at the airport. He was kind, friendly, helpful, and even suggested a great place for lunch. The tour was a great success. Thanks so much, SoQ!

When traveling to a foreign country, communication can be difficult. That was not the case with this travel company. From the day I made the reservation, communication was excellent.
