    · September 15th, 2025
    This was my first time using your company!! It was the most exciting and memorable trip I have ever taken!! First, let me say that the tour you had for us was just perfect!! There were 18 in the group , not counting Francisco, and it was totally insane, fun, bonding, and something none of us will ever forget!!! I really cannot put in words about the whole trip!! I was thinking of going to Egypt next year, but in the bonding, I have been to Manchester to stay with Fiona and her friends and family. A bunch of us are planning a get together, and are getting together on Whatsapp in October. I want to let you know that Francisco was great. He took care of us. and we all became good friends!! He made sure that everything was taken care of!! Give that wonderful man a raise!!
