Testimonials

“We had the best fun on our Small Group Journey to Italy and Croatia. Jacinta had every detail smoothly organised and Brad made sure no one got lost or left out. A very varied but active group, we laughed long and loud every day as we ate great food, tasted good wines, and explored interesting places. The accommodation was pretty special too! We’re looking forward to taking another Small Group Journey before too long."

Elizabeth

"From planning journeys and having showcasing events, Jacinta and Brad are efficient and organized, giving 110% to ensure their guests have a fantastic experience. Their Small Group Journeys capture the all-important interests of the areas visited as well as local food and wine experiences. Itinerary changes while travelling, go without a hitch and sometimes end up finding something exciting like the Edivo Wine Bar where the wine (Navis Mysterium) is aged in bottles under the sea.

“Jacinta's office for "Small Group Journeys" should be in Geneva as they run smoothly as a Swiss watch. Each journey is meticulously planned down to the last detail, and very importantly there is always a PLAN B. We have had the pleasure of joining Jacinta on several journeys, they were memorable fun filled trips. Jacinta’s Small group Journeys are not the cheapest BUT they are very good value for money. You see what you went to see in comfort and from the best vantage point."
