“Maria, Well, now we’re back home with wonderful thoughts of our trip. It was perfect in every way and thank you all for making it so. Antigua, Flores, Tikal, are all beautiful and impressive in so many ways . ARCAS is a very special place with the work they are doing. We are very impressed with their determination to stop the criminals and their dedication to the animals they care for. We loved the tour. We’re also very impressed with each of the team. Gisel is amazingly patient, extremely knowledgeable and fun to work with over several months of adjustments and changes. We got along like old friends! You and the guides were so helpful, considerate and so supportive of our preferences and needs, including last minute changes! You made it seamless for us and came through with flying colors. Bravo ! We highly recommend your services and have told all our friends about you all. Thanks so much for everything. We hope to use your company again. Warmly, Lois”

“Ahmed has helped us plan the trip of our lives to Egypt and Jordan. When I reached out to Rough Guides and only provided a sketch idea of a few things I wanted to make sure that we experienced, Ahmed responded with an itinerary that is so comprehensive and amazing! He hit the number of in-country days and the budget that we set. We are so excited for this trip and only have a little bit of fine tuning left to do with Ahmed. I can’t believe how easy he made all of our planning and what a great resource Rough Guides has been!”
