Client Testimonials

An unforgettable trip to Egypt 2023

Reviewed By Linda - Boston, MA | Traveled to Cairo ~ Egypt ~ Africa
"Ahmer Khan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to details as we worked on planning a 10-day trip to Egypt for our group of friends. I have been to Egypt before several times and I knew in my initial conversation with Ahmer that he had an in-depth knowledge of Egypt that would make our trip seamless. While on the trip, I had to contact Ahmer a couple of times for questions and he responded immediately. This helped us feel supported even though we were so far away. Planning the trip with Ahmer also made the process easy and fun and I felt like I could talk to him for hours about our trip. From this point forward, I will likely never plan a major trip without Ahmer's assistance. It made the world of difference for myself and my friends and we returned with some of the most epic memories of lives, and we have Ahmer to thank for that!"

9 days in Paris and Nice

Reviewed By TalhaK - San Jose, CA | Traveled to France ~ Europe
"Ahmer helped plan and book my first family vacation in France. I was travelling to France on a business trip and decided to take a vacation afterwards. Ahmer was extremely approachable, knowledgable and friendly, and went out of his way to customize the trip for us. My family and I were flying in to Paris and returning from Nice. He planned and booked the air ticket and local tours for us. He even recommended against booking certain tours and do the activity on our own instead (to save time and money). He has travelled extensively throughout his life with and without his family - this sets him apart from other travel agents as he actually knows the destination thoroughly. I would definitely book my future trips with him."

Amazing Colombian Adventure

Reviewed By Kathy - Los Angeles , Ca | Traveled to Colombia ~ South America
"Ahmer is detail oriented and knowledgeable. He really paid attention to what kind of experience we as a family want and made excellent suggestions. He thought of all possible details like airport pickup and drop-off and tours at destinations. All the accommodations were very well chosen. We surly could not have had such a great trip without his help. Very grateful!!"

Amazing trip through Morocco

Reviewed By JimK - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Morocco ~ Africa
"Ahmer was incredibly helpful, patient and responsive not just from the beginning of trip-planning, but through the duration of our 2 weeks in Morocco. He even followed-up with recommendations to change our trip, several weeks before left, based on feedback he'd heard from other clients. We were so grateful we accepted his recommendation. It was a pleasure working with him and I'd gladly do it again."

Amazing trip to Morocco

Reviewed By Can - Napa | Traveled to Morocco ~ Africa
"Ahmer is very responsive and will help you do the research for a wonderful trip. He's thorough and can adjust to meet what you need whether it is a flight change, added itinerary item or getting you a firm quote on a safe taxi in another country! For our Morocco trip with 3 women, all with different ideas and so many things to accomplish, Ahmer was able to get our travel needs organized so that we had a wonderful, unforgettable trip. We also had his help to start looking into a safari trip. Again, the same great service from flight help to the ultimate tours. You'll be happy you got his help! Thanks, Ahmer!!"

Was he just there?

Reviewed By Frank - Newark, California | Traveled to Barcelona ~ Spain ~ Europe
"I had the pleasure of working with Ahmer on a recent trip to Spain for my 50th birthday party. We had two separate families and a range of age ranges. I can say without hesitation that he provided excellent recommendations for excursions and optimal timing throughout the entire trip. Most importantly, he was able to secure very good pricing for reservations without issue, and accommodated changes as we developed our plans - flamenco shows, wineries, cooking classes, cathedral tours - on and on. It’s as if Ahmer just returned from Spain himself and shared lessons learned and knew how to get right to the good stuff. Obviously, I will put Ahmer to work again for my 51st birthday celebration."
