Ursula Duffin – September 2024

Highly recommend. I booked the trip as I’ve always wanted to travel South America but didn’t feel comfortable going alone as a female. This trip allowed me to explore while feeling safe. The price point was much lower than other companies I had seen too. The itinerary was well planned with a good mix of rest and activities. Our guide Ru knew the area, language and itinerary very well and gave great recommendations for the free days we had. I made some amazing friends from all over that I’ll be seeing again – Thanks for a great trip!

Erika Simon – August 2023

Where do I start🧐??

Louise has prepared the most lovely trip for us all filled with laughter, amazing sceneries and fun once in a lifetime type of activities.

Everything went down without any organisational issues which we can credit to Louise and Alma’s overall preparedness, knowledge of the area and skills❤️. Although we were all virtual strangers ((with a few exceptions or familiar faces from instagram)), we laughed, cried, danced and shared so many great moments together that I can clearly say we have become friends (hopefully lifelong).

We have supported each other through both positive and negative moments and have truly all bonded as a small travel family 🧳.

We really hope to meet each other in a future trip and will come ready #linedancing 💃

Mel Ford – July 2024

The Paradise in Panama trip was such an amazing experience! We got to see so many different parts of Panama and had once in a lifetime experiences with such a great group of people.

I would suggest there be a little more time in the San Blas Islands and potentially a pre-planned activity in Boquete as our group were a bit indecisive on what to do but overall we still had enough time to explore the area.

Our guide Ru was also so amazing! He was so helpful with any questions or anything we needed and was just such a wonderful person to have on the trip with us.

Charlotte Jobson – February 2024

Crying just thinking about how it’s over… I did Costa Rica for 2 weeks hosted by Cody & Ellie, I could not recommend enough! I’ve made some of my bestest friends on this trip, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The most insane experiences I’ve ever had! May or may not see you girls again in South Africa!!!!
