“Very flexible and attentive to my specific itinerary requests and budgetary needs. Karen was great and Ogo was a total gem. Her knowledge, cheer, work ethic and sensitivity (when to let the group chill out vs. when to capture a teachable moment) was outstanding. He became a real friend to many in our group and they still remain in contact via email two years later.”
