We just returned from our fifth international trip that ***** helped ** plan. Our stay in ****** was amazing! We had so many great experiences and saw so many historical spots. We also enjoyed the time spent in small villages which might include a winery or two! Through our experiences with ***** we knew this trip would be well planned and enjoyable. We were not disappointed!Until next time,***** and ****

Jamie was fantastic! I wanted to take my three daughters on their first trip to Europe. I've been several times but always with a tour group or with friends who lived there. Being the one in charge of all the planning was overwhelming. And with COVID there was just too many things to think about. I reached out to Jamie and he was a wealth of knowledge. We had a conversation about what I was looking for and what my daughters were interested in. He had an itinerary for us within a couple days that had something for everyone. And it was the most amazing itinerary! We were there for three weeks and we saw so much! Our time was so well planned! Jamie was VERY responsive while we were there. If I had a question he got back to me in less than an hour (usually minutes) with answers. He had ideas for what to do and see that I would have never thought of. And some ideas that were cost and time effective too, such as the Paris Pass and the Swiss Travel Pass. And we only had a few hours in Rome and he arranged for an amazing tour guide (Rosa) to show us the highlights of the city. There is no way we could have done that on our own. I highly recommend Jamie! He truly has a passion for what he does!Wandering Puffin, LLC

When I was ready to plan a long-awaited trip to Ireland with my sister and daughter, and combine it with an anniversary trip to Croatia and Greece with my husband, I immediately turned to Jamie for help. He planned an absolutely amazing European trip for my family several years ago so I knew we could count on him to plan something wonderful. Jamie listened to what we wanted to see, how we like to travel and took care of all the details for transportation, hotels and excursions based on our needs. He made suggestions for sites to see, the best way to get to them, and he easily shifted plans when we added a place or an event to our itinerary. The hotels he chose were perfectly located and very comfortable. We loved the rooftop bar with an amazing view of the Acropolis while in Athens, and we were particularly thrilled with the resort right on the coast in Dubrovnik. Jamie was always very accessible for questions and was so helpful in getting a refund for a bus tour we had to cancel mid-trip. He also arranged a rental car for that excursion instead. Knowing we had him to handle these details removed all stress from the changes. We saw so many amazing sites full of beauty and history including the Cliffs of Moher, Krka National Park, Diocletian's Palace, the Parthenon and several Greek islands. We were able to enjoy them all and experience another memorable trip thanks to Jamie. We definitely recommend him to our friends! Beth Anne & JohnWandering Puffin, LLC

I have been working with Jamie for about 8 years planning my trips. My recent trip to Spain didn't go as well as planned. I developed a blood clot in my leg and lungs. I wound up spending a week in the hospital . I reached out to him and told him what was going on. He immediatly contacted the travel insurance company and got a claim started for me. He also contacted the hotel I was staying at and advised them i was in the hospital and would need to extend my stay. Jamie kept in constant contact with me and rebooked my new flight back to the states. I have always enjoyed working with Jamie in arranging my trips. His knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. As always, I look forward to work with him on my next trip.Wandering Puffin, LLC

My trip was part of a much needed pastoral sabbatical and included separate trips with my adult kids. It was also a complicated trip with multiple flights, trains, transfers, rental cars, etc. Four countries, moving around a lot from lodging to lodging. (Kid 1 and I flew to Scotland for two weeks, met Kid 2 at the airport in Stockholm, spent the weekend there, then Kid 1 flew home and Kid 2 and I continued to Belgium and France. Phew!) It was a fantastic trip. Jamie listened carefully and adapted as we asked. All of the accommodations were clean, comfortable, hospital, and conveniently located. The app and paper documents were well laid out and easy to use. When we had mid-travel questions (and we had very few), Jamie was quick to respond and advise. The train travel was hiccup-free (Except for one rail line being closed due to a crash!). Transfers and guides showed up as promised an on time. Our Paris guide was a surprise and delight. We would use Jamie again. He is fun to talk with, knowledgeable, experienced, upbeat, and accommodating. We felt confident that everything was lined up and were thrilled with how well everything went. He also gave good advice about things to see and we were not disappointed. Travel was stress free. (Although driving on the left side of the road was something else. Thanks, Jamie, for making sure we had an automatic transmission!) We recommend Jamie without reservation. And thanks, Jamie, for a terrific experience from the first planning meeting until our plane landed back at MSP. Chris, Eliot, and SamWandering Puffin, LLC

Thank you so much for the opportunity to arrange this adventure for you. As you mentioned, there were many twists and turns, comings and goings and I loved every moment. The more challenging the better and I thrive on this. It was absolutely my pleasure from day one in anticipation of getting starting on your adventure, to the final pieces of the puzzle to make sure everything fit the way it was supposed to. I truly appreciate having had the opportunity to put together such a dynamic trip, with all of its moving parts. I very much look forward to working with you again on your next travel adventure or anyone you may refer my way as I have built my business on repeats and referrals. Thank you so much again. Your business is truly appreciated and always pleased to hear when everything works out, but knowing we are there to assist in case of issues.Review fromNiki Z

We just got back from a two week European vacation to Germany and Austira. Jamie helped us plan the perfect trip and worked with us to get our itinerary just how we wanted it. I would recommend Jamie for anyone looking for a stress free travel experience - he worked with us to find airfare that fit our budget, booked all of our hotels and excursions and was very responsive while we were away (even though he was on his own vacation!). As a person who loves to plan, I appreciated the portfolio of documents that was sent to us just before our trip. It was thorough and organized by day for easy reference. Thank you Jamie!Wandering Puffin, LLC

Thank you so much for having given me the opportunity to plan your recent travels to ******* and *******. It was such a pleasure to work with you and infuse the unique experiences you wanted to have including finding a way to have a focus in the beginning with sites about *************************. I truly enjoyed this part of the research in trying to create your adventure for this part of ******* and then as we moved forward tweaking the itinerary to add in experiences like **** which you may not have thought about. I consider every travel plan I do a puzzle and I love the challenges this brings to the table and I am very pleased to know that the arrangements I made for you and your family worked out well, even as we had to adapt along the way. Your business is truly appreciated and I look forward to arranging your next travel adventure or for anyone you refer my way as I have built my business on repeats and referrals. Thank you once again for the opportunity.Review fromJill K

Jamie helped arrange a 10 day trip to Greece (Santorini and Athens) for my husband and I, plus our three teenagers. He was thorough, responsive and helpful with all questions. Our original flight was canceled and normally that would have been quite stressful, but with Jamie’s expertise we got as new flight that worked out well. The hotels he choose were awesome, so happy with his recommendations. The folder that he sent, as well as the “trip plans” app was so organized and helpful. He messaged throughout our trip and kept us updated on any delays, etc. It was very reassuring to have his help and have him behind the scenes supporting us in case anything went wrong (which did not happen thankfully). He took care of the details that I would not have thought about and included details about Greece which helped. I would definitely recommended using his services to plan your next trip!Wandering Puffin, LLC

We just returned from a 12 day cruise to Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands. Once again Jamie went over and beyond to provide us with a stress-free vacation. All the annoying details were taken care of such as air, transfers, room selection, itinerary, paperwork, etc. Jamie found us a spacious, beautiful room and balcony. Our excursions and activities on the ship were amazing! He is also very willing to book and organize personalized excursions by request. About 1-2 weeks before our trip, we were mailed an organized folder with all needed tickets, itinerary and info regarding the vacation. And importantly, he returns emails and calls the same or next day. Very easy to work with and friendly. Definitely recommend his services and are looking forward to working with him in the future!Wandering Puffin, LLC

We recently worked with the Wandering Puffin for a 21 day trip to England and Scotland. Jamie ******** is great to work with. He is truly enthusiastic about what he does. Using his services made our travel lives sooo much easier and relaxing for us. He arranged all of the fine details that make a trip come together perfectly! No worries or hassles for us! These included our flights, our ground transportation such as rail transportation & transfers, accommodations and excursions. We had a wonderful memorable time! One particular excursion was for a private sunrise tour of Stonehenge. Jamie’s pre-trip tips, guidance and sightseeing adventures were a blessing. It had us fully prepared on what to bring with us, where to go and what other fun things were locally to be found. He puts together a booklet, which he also sends you in an App form for your phone/tablet, that contains your itinerary, vouchers for flights, accommodations, transfers, rail, etc. We found this extremely helpful as we would refer to it often. Jamie has already planned our next trip this September to Italy! And we can’t wait!Wandering Puffin, LLC

Jamie did a wonderful job of planning our 20th anniversary trip to France, and we had an amazing time! We had great accommodations, and the experiences were incredible. We had a couple of little hiccups during our trip, and he dealt with them well so that our trip was still all it could be. Jamie answered a lot of questions, put our minds at ease, and took the pressure off of planning a special trip in an unfamiliar country and culture. He included everything we were looking for, and it was a trip we will always remember.Wandering Puffin, LLC
