My new client Amy found me by chance while looking on FB. She was looking to treat her daughter to the most special of 16th birthdays with all things Mama Mia included, as she is a top fan. She was so happy when I told her that I was a lover myself of Skopelos in Greece where Mama Mia the movie was filmed and I shared all my top tips to ensure this trip is going to be extra special. Needless to say Amy daughter thinks her Mum is the best EVER. Thank you Amy for your great feedback ❤️..................................

How lucky am I? To be able to create all kinds of fun adventures for my clients and then watch them have the time of their lives, I am so grateful for messages like this, knowing I got it just right makes me very happy 😊

*************************

Hi Donna, I just wanted to take a moment to send you a huge thank you for helping my Phil organise the trip of a lifetime for us. I cannot actually put into words how amazing our holiday was. Dubai, New Zealand, and the memory of sailing into Sydney Harbour and seeing the Opera House & Harbour Bridge for the very first time will remain in my memory forever. You completely saved our cruise which turned out just perfect and changing and organising all the flights and the transfer for us, everything you sorted was just brilliant! So once again thank you and please know you will be the first person we will be contacting next time we need a holiday.
Many thanks
Cath xx
