Roberta is very well organised, very open and flexibel to change plans if needed and such a kind person! Especially in Gran Canaria she is very well connected and knows the island like the back of her hand. This was my first JMT trip with only the trip leader and me as someone cancelled shortly before. So I first had some concerns but quickly noticed that there was no reason for that :) I had an amazing time and absolutely recommend travelling with Roberta!

Hello, It was my first time booking a trip through the portal and I will do it again. Roberta sent me a schedule for the days before the trip so I knew what was on the agenda each day. We were flexible in the group and changed our plans depending on the situation. Roberta is welcoming and it was really fun. I stayed one day longer than the group. Roberta was also there for me and helped me book the transfer to the airport. Top experience with a well-organized trip leader.

Roberta is very organised with great attention to detail, everyone on the trip was accommodated, Roberta ensured that everyone's preferences were met, complete care was given to us. Roberta ensured that everyone felt included at all times. As a person I found Roberta to be very kind hearted with a great sense of fun and a calm energy, I saw all the sights, danced, ate lovely food in local restaurants while mixing with the local neighbourhood. I would book another trip with Roberta in a heartbeat.
