Ciaran was very helpful in the initial planning of our trip and even more so when we had to reschedule some things due to a medical issue. He rebooked hotels and tours and rearranged the itinerary to make it work for us. Can’t thank him enough for all the good advice. Excellent, responsive, knowledgeable planning team matched by top notch local service, guides, and hotels with the same qualities.
