Between game drives, there is ample time for enriching excursions and immersing oneself in the vibrant local cultures.

With its breathtaking views and unique experiences, Machu Picchu holds a special place in Mary's heart, and she is eager to help others create unforgettable memories in this remarkable destination.
DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...
Client Testimonial
"Travel has become so stressful these days. Having Mary make all of the arrangements has been wonderful for us and allowed us to visit places like China, which we would've never attempted to do on our own or with some unknown travel group. We have used her services for several "complicated" trips and each time she took the stress out of making the arrangements by having everything in place so that when we arrived all we had to do was grab our luggage and walk out and meet our transportation. Heavenly!"
