My wife and I wanted to have a honeymoon we would never forget, but we worried about how much planning and stress it could be to get it all together. Thankfully we found John and he took care of everything! He got us a killer deal at a resort on Honolulu in Hawai'i, was always so kind and courteous, quickly answered every question we had, was extremely knowledgeable, and gave us the best honeymoon we could possibly have! Every day was so magical, so well organized, and so fun and the best part? We didn't have to plan a thing! John worked with us to figure out what our top activities we wanted to do, if we wanted a more relaxed or adventurous time, and what our dining preferences were like and he found us the perfect place to stay with an amazing itinerary of activities to do. I would highly recommend John at Adventures Awaits World Travel to anyone looking to have all the fun of a well-organized family vacation, without any of the hassles to plan it!

Just returned from an amazing adventure in Cozumel, Mexico, thanks to John and Jackie at Adventure Awaits World Travel! All we had to do was contact them and saved ourselves countless hours of stress and searching the internet. Our whole group had complete peace of mind throughout the planning process as they guided us through finding a beautiful all-inclusive resort in our budget, awesome excursions, and even travel insurance. We were able to relax and enjoy every minute of our vacation, knowing John and Jackie were available to help if any questions came up. Our whole trip was even better than we imagined!! I highly recommend Adventure Awaits World Travel and will definitely call them again!
