Reviewed By KitsapKwi3T - Poulsbo, WA | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Linda has booked nearly 10 excellent trips for me over the years. She's a pleasure to work with, listening carefully to what I hope to find (and avoid). She provides excellent recommendations and insights, persistently searches for what will "hit the spot", resolves any logistics glitches, passes along updates that may affect my trip, consistently delivers as promised. She's deeply knowledgable, authentically upbeat and considerate. I can't wait for the next trip with Linda!

Linda Barber has arranged many trips for me over the last 20 years (e.g., French Polynesia, Lanai in Hawaii, Yellowstone winter eco tour, SeaCloud ship in Caribbean, Kona in Hawaii, 4-island-small-ship cruise in Hawaii, plus short-notice booking of a falconry day when I was traveling for business in Scotland). Her recommendations are spot on, her bookings and follow-through are meticulous, she's personable and authentic. And BTW, Linda was spectacular in getting all refunds for me when the pandemic nuked my Maldives trip last year. Hard to imaging anyone better.

Dedicated to her Travel Clients
Reviewed By Deb - Rye Beach, NH | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Linda is on call to assist, especially when knowing there might be airline issues internationally. 2 yrs ago while in N. Italy, we had such an experience. The local agent could not assist us, as she did not have the original booking details. I called Linda at an inconvenient hour ( 1am her time) and she was already watching the issue and advocating for us w/ the airlines. She resolved our issues, found a flight that would keep us on time to make the connection flight. Exemplary work! And appreciated. That's Linda.

She put together a trip to Africa to celebrate a big wedding anniversary, and on the night of it, in Botswana, she arranged for an unforgettable celebration around a camp fire next to a water hole surrounded by wild animals. Add to that a cage dive off Seal Island in South Africa to play with Great White sharks, a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls and a Boma in Kruger Park where we also witnessed a lion stalk, kill and devour a wart hog in front of us and we have lasting memories.
