Brenda’s attention to detail amazes me. She found this rare gem of a hotel that was everything & more I’ve ever wanted while traveling. The Singular Patagonia is spectacular.

Brenda once exceeded our expectations with her well honed attention to the details. The friendly note, pastries & bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival were welcomed extra personal touches. Thank you Brenda for all your help with our 10 days in Chile, it was unforgettable!

Brenda was great! She was always one step ahead with providing me updates on my stay with check in instructions and updates on tours and attractions she had booked. The whole trip was seamless. It was a great touch that she sent over a dessert at our first hotel too. Thanks Brenda!

Brenda was so pleasant to work with and was very responsive and prompt to all our questions and needs. From the very start, she offered valuable suggestions and guidance that made our trip planning so much easier and less stressful. Planning a trip and all the steps getting to and from our final destination overseas such as visas, flight information, airport transportation, hotel reservations and upgrades, tours, dinner reservations, etc., can be very challenging; and she navigated it all so well. Our trip went so smoothly, even with the coup in Nepal! We were very happy with our guide in Kathmandu; and it was nice to have him show us around during our layover too. He was with us during the coup and even took us out for a delicious local lunch the next day. I would definitely recommend him too.
Overall it was a great trip; and we really enjoyed working with Brenda—very professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful. She is helping us with our next trip to Japan; and we will definitely use her for future trips and recommend her to our friends.
