What our travellers say about us
“John and I have been back for over a month now and when people ask us how our trip was we don’t know what to say. As John says how do you tell people that you had a once in a lifetime experience every single day for three weeks … it was beyond description”.

“I must tell you both…we have never been more delighted, impressed and satisfied with any agency that handled our travels either in the United States or abroad. Your respective agencies as well as employees are far and above the most respectable of the hospitality industry. I cannot say enough good things and all of them, bar none. For sure, in our lives, you all totally rocked our 14 days and we forever be in awe.”

VIETNAM & LAOS
“Working with us on a complex itinerary for Laos and Vietnam, Muriel demonstrated a genuine understanding of our objectives, and the particular details that would work for our family. Her patience, sense of humor, and professionalism assisted in crafting a trip that was of the highest quality. All the important details were attended to flawlessly, and we felt every step of the way that we had engaged the very best travel service that contributed to a most memorable experience.”

THE GALAPAGOS
“We have been fortunate to have known Muriel first as a Guide on one of our very early B&R trips to Europe and then as an organizer and coordinator of trips for us. She has done everything from creating the idea, to making the plans, to doing everything but participating physically on these trips. She has a great deal of adventure knowledge, takes a creative and exciting approach to planning trips, and executes to our complete satisfaction. Muriel has set up trips for my immediate family of five up to a group family trip of 18 all the way to chartering and organizing a boat trip of close to 40. The trips have been throughout Europe as well as the Galapagos. We recommend her and trust her completely.”
BF, San Francisco, CA
AFRICA – Uganda & Rwanda
“The trip was superb – one of the best we have had. Every day was wonderful. The personalization of the trip is something not possible with other companies. The quality of the guides and places we stayed were first rate. I can’t tell you how cool it is to have a baby gorilla almost crawl into your lap and to sit with chimps in the forest…”

PERU
“Peru is magnificent, the landscape and the people. Truly we are having the most amazing vacation. Just wanted to tell you that since I know you are the power behind it all… we feel so special everywhere we go! We are learning so much and having so much fun and comfort doing it! I will be the biggest Askari fan, can you tell?! Abrazos.”
E.D, Toronto – March 2013 – Machu Picchu & Peru
SOUTH AFRICA & NAMIBIA
“Muriel was our guide on our second trip to Africa several years ago. We are returning for the fourth time later this year and taking friends along to share the experience. Muriel is planning all the details of our upcoming adventure. She has experience, contacts and most importantly—a sense of humor.”
CSV & MAV, 2009, Los Angeles, CA
GREECE & CROATIA
“My trip to Greece was perfect in every way; the attention to details was extra-ordinary. It’s not surprising that I did an encore cruise the following summer to Croatia. Since then Muriel has become my “go to” person for all trips real and planned in the indefinite future; I have recommended her to my friends and customers alike. Every single one of them has adored their unique travel adventure. You will too!”

AFRICA
“I just picked up your package yesterday from my office and finally had a chance to go through it last night. I have to tell you how incredibly impressed I was, from the design and overall presentation of the pieces to the thoroughness of the information and the personalization of each piece. I’ve rarely seen anyone turn out something this comprehensive, so thank-you very much for this extraordinary effort.”
L.D., 2008, Vancouver, BC
THE GALAPAGOS & ECUADOR
We had a fabulous time and would recommend this trip to anyone. I have to say, it was one of our best family holidays and we can’t thank you enough for all that you did to make it so fabulous.
