Even though we had to change our plans at the last minute, the revised itinerary you put together was more than perfect.

We must express our many, many thanks to Remote Lands for all of the help and for planning such a wonderful, successful trip!

Couple from Madrid
Our private jet was a very important part of our trip. Most of the legs were less than 30 minutes, compared to six to 10 hours if we traveled by road. Overall, we had a fantastic trip to a new country for us. Remote Lands never fails!
