We specialize in building Disney itineraries & will help navigate the booking systems, share insider tips on optimizing your days to ensure you get to see everything. Whilst Orlando, Florida is home to the largest Disney resort, we are happy to discuss the international resorts in Japan, China or France, which make a great partner to a broader vacation and is often more economical!
Maldives
There is no where better to disconnect, recharge and connect with your loved ones than the Maldives. Made up of more than 1,000 white sand islands, with crystal clear turquoise water of the Indian Ocean. The Maldives offers an array of unique experiences, from arriving to your island hotel in seaplane to staying in your own over-water cabin with ocean access ... keep your eyes on the horizon to see the dolphins passing by. Maldives is the perfect honeymoon location, as well as a great addition to an action packed adventure holiday in South East Asia or India.
Japan
Japan is so rich in culture and a perfect introduction to Asia. Japan is famous for its rich cuisine with freshly prepared Sushi or a bowl of Ramen noodles (don't feel bad for slurping, its a sign of appreciation in Japan!) There is so much to see in Japan, that you are guaranteed to want to go back for more. From spending afternoons with the Geisha in Kyoto, to visiting the Dotonburi district of Osaka, or embracing the Onsen experience overlooking Mount Fuji. Luckily, Japan is well connected by Shinkansen bullet train, which can get you from one end of the country to the other within a few hours.
Bolivia
One of South America's hidden gems is Bolivia. Prepare to be faced with some of the world's most unique offerings by visiting La Paz, the world's highest capital city or Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat. Bolivia also has its own Copa Cabana island on Lake Titicaca as well as its own wine region in Tarija. Bolivia is rich in culture, not as densely populated with tourists as it's neighbor, Peru & is much more economical for a once in a lifetime adventure holiday to this beautiful region.
United Kingdom
From seeing Buckingham Palace and Big Ben to the quant, historic towns of Bath and York, the United Kingdom is a perfect introduction to Europe. London is the world's largest melting pot of culture, which is fascinating to observe and learn how all of these cultures fuse into Britain that we have and enjoy today. Local markets with hand made pies, to pints of ale in pubs that are centuries old or taking a train up to the historical city of Edinburgh & the Scottish highlands.
Vietnam
Vietnam is among our favorite countries to visit, the country is vibrant, diverse & has so much to offer. From the beautiful natural landscapes of Ha Long Bay and the culture of its capital in Hanoi, in the north of the country, to the lively, more modern setting of Ho Chi Minh City in the South, Vietnam has it all. Vietnam is home to some of the most delicious and fresh cuisine, from Pho to Banh Mi sandwiches. Vietnam has a slight French influence and is famous for its world renowned coffee and cafe's lining the streets, allowing for perfect people watching. Be prepared to get overwhelmed by the number of mo-peds which is the most common form of transport, we highly recommend renting one and embracing the culture to its full extent.
Mexico
Mexico is as vibrant as it is colorful, with such a rich ancient culture, including the Mayan and Aztec civilizations. Mexico is home to Chichen Itza, one of the wonders of the world and has endless rolling beaches along the Riviera Maya and Yucatan Peninsula. Mexico is a popular vacation spot for people all over the world as well as an ever increasing destination wedding spot. Mexico is often voted highly, if not the top of all cuisines worldwide, with their unique chili's and spices that season meats and seafoods to accompany tacos. Central Mexico houses Mexico City, Guadalajara and Tequila in Jalisco, which is where all Tequila is produced world wide. We highly encourage visiting during one of Mexico's many celebrations, such as Dia de los Muertos. Mexico is a great long weekend destination or multi-week trip if you want to explore all that it has to offer.
Spain
Spain has such a wide spectrum of offerings, that would be perfect to fit any family. From marveling at the famous Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, to the breath taking hikes along the north coast (Camino de Santiago), to the lively beaches and nightlife of Ibiza & Palma de Mallorca, to the tapas, red wine and flamenco dancing along the southern coast in Andalusia, Spain has it all.
Peru
Peru is home to one of the 7 modern wonders of the world, Machu Picchu. The country is so rich in culture as you will learn about the history of the Incas and how the magnificent ancient ruins became the marvel that they are today. Peru is also home to one of the best cuisines in the world, with its fresh seafood & fusion with Asian cuisine.
United Arab Emirates
The UAE offers some of the most breathtaking views and experiences, from seeing the tallest building in the world to riding a 4x4 across the desert sand dunes, this country offers it all. Dubai is home to luxury shopping and beach resorts, perfect to keep all members of the family entertained & Abu Dhabi offers a wide range of cultural experiences such as the grand mosque and exhilarating experiences such as Ferrari World. We recommend adding a layover in the UAE whilst traveling from US or Europe to Asia.
United States of America
The USA offers such a wide range of opportunities for all ages and interests. From the fast-paced lifestyle in New York City to the 63 national parks throughout the country there is plenty to do. Some of our personal highlights are the country music of Nashville, the cajun cuisine in New Orleans, the northern lights in Alaska and the wine tasting in Napa Valley. The possibilities are endless and we recommend merging multiple of these experiences into one vacation that allows you to experience everything that this country has to offer.
India
India offers a rich cultural heritage and geographic diversity. We highly recommend the golden triangle which allows you to see the capital city of New Delhi, the colorful city of Jaipur and Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal. The cuisine here is unique and is renowned worldwide for its exquisite use of herbs and spices. India is commonly paired with Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
South Africa
A winter haven for anyone in the Northern Hemisphere, as South Africa has their summer at this time. South Africa is an affordable destination that is home to many unique experiences such as Tabletop Mountain, penguins on the beach at Boulders beach, and the fantastic range of locally produced wine in the many vineyards that surround Cape Town. In addition, Johannesburg is a gateway to Kruger National Park, where you can embark on a safari adventure and see wild animals in their natural habitat.
