We were a large group with diverse interests and MJ managed to plan tours that engaged everyone. She was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make things work for usfrom the very first start of the planning phase. Because of the size of our group, we ended up taking a very long time to decide on what we wanted, and MJ patiently guided us through the process with constant communication, suggestions, and well-thought-out itineraries.Through the entire planning process, she worked hard to help us build the best schedule for ourinterests, and time/money constraints. Her work ethic was incredible, and she inspired confidence even though we had never yet met in person.

Once in the Philippines, our group kept MJ on her toes with all sorts of little (and sometimes big!) curveballs that came our way. Through it all, MJ showed her resourcefulness and ability to adapt to the changing situation. She helped us navigate all the challenges that traveling in a big group could bring. She always had control of the situation!

As for the actual tours, MJ was an awesome guide, with lots of insights into the culture and a cheerful and funny personality. It did not take long for us to feel that she was one of us, part of our group, and not just the guide taking us around. And when she organized tours with different guides, the guides she arranged for us were equally knowledgeable and engaging. She kept up in good hands for our entire trip! It was an incredible experience!
