Iceland: Where Nature Commands the Journey

Rich helped us negotiate with Viking during our last trip and also worked on Our next booking

It was a pleasure working with Richard as he knows what he's doing, responds quickly, gives great information on your trip's itinerary using the Trip Plans App and follows through with timely correspondence. Unfortunately, we encountered numerous difficulties on our recent VIKING "cruise"on the Danube and Richard worked with us to resolve them. We highly recommend him as a travel agent.

My husband and I reached out to Richard to help us brainstorm a summer trip and make a travel plan for what to do with our vacation time with our kids this year. Richard was a wealth of knowledge and expertise, he listed to all of the details we provided about travel distances, preferred travel style, budget, etc., and gave us his initial thoughts about what types of trips we could do. He then send us a follow up email outlining some more specific trip concepts for us to decide which to do. Ultimately we ended up doing a tour of the Great Lakes, road tripping from New Jersey in a loop that touched all 5 lakes with stops and stays on 4 of the 5 lakes. We had a truly wonderful family vacation, connected with our kids, with nature, and got a wonderful reset before the back to school/back to chaos season of life. I highly recommend Richard for any upcoming trip you are considering. His level of detail and thoughtfulness goes above and beyond!

My girlfriend and I were headed to Italy for the first time and were thankful to have been introduced to Rich prior to going. We did not really know where to start nor how to plan for it, we gave Rich a vague idea of what we wanted to do. He then planned it all out for us and made adjustments as we all saw fit in a quick manner. We have just returned home and couldn't be happier with how the trip/events went. Everything was timely, easy to follow, and certainly proved to be a far better decision than those who go without hiring someone like Rich to help plan it out/secure reservations. We will be utilizing his expertise and recommending him to friends/family/strangers we meet in the future. Thank you, Rich!

We just returned from a Tauck Rhine River cruise — Amsterdam, Cologne, Rüdesheim, Strasbourg, and Basel — and it exceeded every expectation, starting with the planning Richard Sasson did on our behalf. From the first conversation, he took the time to understand what we wanted out of the trip and built an itinerary that hit every highlight without ever feeling rushed. Every port stop and city excursion was thoughtfully organized, with logistics that just worked — no wasted time, no confusion, just a smooth flow from one incredible destination to the next. The ship itself was beautiful and immaculately kept, and the onboard dining was consistently top-notch — a real highlight of the trip in its own right. The whole operation, from Tauck's crew to the excursions Richard helped select, was clearly well run and well organized. Richard's attention to detail and genuine care in putting this trip together made all the difference. We'd book with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone considering a river cruise. I highly recommend the Rhine River Cruise Germany, France, Switzerland, Netherlands
