Wendy was simply FABULOUS! She helped me prepare a trip to Colombia to my parents as a gift and was thoughtful in every aspect of the trip. She has a great knowledge of her country and activities that can be done, which means she has excellent suggestions on what to do. Besides, she truly understood the challenge and prepared a tailored itinerary, even considering that my parents speak Portuguese! All of the chosen hotels were very good and she was even able to arrange special treats for them. I can't reinforce how much I recommend Wendy and her team! Muchas gracias, querida!!!
