“We received a high standard of service, attention and care from our consultant from the very first conversation. The mark of exceptional service is anticipating the needs of customers and Casey is a master. Prompt, detail oriented and comprehensive, he handled every detail of our trip of a lifetime, modifying our plans on a few occasions as I changed my mind and flights were canceled. Taking the multiple aspects of planning in stride, he always engaged with me in a friendly, patient, courteous manner than made me feel like I had chosen wisely in selecting A2T. His recommendations proved he truly understood what type of experience we were looking for and they did not disappoint. I could not be happier with the service we received and our experience in country. I’ve told everyone who would listen. Thank you Casey. You will always be a part of this trip of a lifetime.”
