Arranger of Vibrant Memories!
Reviewed By Preacherdave - Carlsbad, NM | Traveled to New Zealand ~ Australia & New Zealand
Howard has been providing my family with memorable vacations for nearly 15 years. He's always easy to reach, goes out of his way to make the perfect vacation and is flexible with budgetary restraints. He's always been a joy to work with! On our last adventure, there were unfortunate issues that came up because of weather and Howard, working from the other side of the globe, not only fixed the problems, but made the adventure better--all at no extra cost! He has arranged the vibrant memories of my lifetime!

Our Around the World Cruise was the best, thanks to Howard!
Reviewed By FanofHoward - Chattanooga, Tennessee | Traveled to World Cruise | Other
Howard arranged every detail of our trip and was very accommodating to our special needs. During the voyage he arranged several meet & greet parties for his group and even provided 6 free excursions which exceeded our expectations! Everyone likes Howard and it’s obvious he extends great customer service to all! We intend to use his services for our next travel adventure. Thank you, Howard!
Howard Danforth responded
"Providing the Distinctive Voyages amenity with a reception party and complementary excursions makes being the host rewarding. It is clients like you that motivates me to insure everyone knows some personal detail about the excursions so I add value and make the cruise more memorable for you. Thank you, Howard"

Far more than expected
Reviewed By John V Jones - Chattanooga, Tennessee | Traveled to Machu Picchu | Peru | South America
My cruise line shore excursion was canceled at the last minute to Machu Picchu due to political unrest. Subsequently, Mr Danforth suggested a trip he could put together. The result was a trip three times as long at one-third the cost. All meets were met, all meals delicious, all compatriots compatible, and all moments memorable. Around and beyond Machu Picchu I experienced deserts, jungles, sea levels and elevations of 16,000 feet. Each day was more enriching than the previous. Not only did Mr Danforth arrange the trip, he kept up with my progress and was electronically available throughout the trip. Every cloud has a silver lining. With Mr Danforth it is gold.
Howard Danforth responded
"The Machu Picchu tour was the most challenging adventure tours I have planned for Mr. John Jones. Knowing his expectations I found G Adventure to be the best tour operator for his travel needs. This was the third time I have booked travel and cruises for Mr John Jones. Previously I used Holland America line with the Distinctive Voyages amenity to enhance his cruise booking. I look forward in servicing Mr. Jones in the future. Thank You, Howard"
