African Joyride
“Thank you, Devon and your family for setting us up with a fantastic, memorable family trip! For most of us, it exceeded all expectations. My mother cried happy tears several times, as she could not believe how incredible the experiences were. Having cocktails, with a white table cloth spread on the wide open savannah, with hippos behind us and the sun setting in front of us, was remarkable.

Ashley and Blaise from Holly Springs North Carolina “We cannot thank you enough for planning the perfect vacation for us. It was one of the top trips we’ve ever taken, and we want to go back in the future. we thought everything was planned perfectly. We especially loved how we went to Sorrento (fast-paced) to Tuscany (it was very relaxing and restful), and then finished in Rome. Our favourite part was the cooking class in Tuscany, and the boat tour of Capri where we got to swim in the Mediterranean, even though it was freezing lol. Each hotel was perfect and the private transfers made everything effortless… everything was flawless and we will definitely recommend you to our friends and use you again for of our future trips. I hope you and your family have a wonderful rest of the year. God bless!!!”

A Spaniards Dream
“Firstly, thank you so much for all of your hard work in planning our trip! We had an amazing time – safe to say that “real life” doesn’t compare to Barcelona and Lisbon.
Speaking for all of us, our biggest highlights in Barcelona were Park Guell, the tour of Monserrat and the flamenco show! There wasn’t much we didn’t enjoy though. Grabbing late dinners, walking around, shopping were also a great way to see Barcelona and enjoy the time together. Lisbon was also amazing. I think it was exactly what we needed at the end of our trip. Life felt a little slower there, allowing us to relax and soak in the second half of our trip. My favorite activity in Lisbon was the trip to Pena Palace and the winery tour! In both cities we all really loved the various hop on hop off tours that you helped facilitate. Those were great ways to check off all of the sightseeing in the two cities!
Our accommodations in Barcelona and Lisbon were perfect for us – safe, clean, and in great locations in the cities!
Again we can’t thank you enough for planning this memorable trip!”
-Grace, Baez, and Taylor from Raleigh North Carolina
Santorini
“THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! We had an amazing vacation. Everything was perfect. We loved both hotels, flights were incredible, weather was perfect. Your company was perfect, too. The most kind people. Our driver stayed with us the whole week.”
-Lisa and John from Cary North Carolina
Honeymoon in croatia
“What a trip. It was smooth and we can not thank you enough for helping us put this together.”
-Trevor and Nina from Chicago Illinois
Victoria Falls Thrills
“EVERYTHING was a highlight! It was a fantastic trip!! (Our tour guide) Willem was fantastic and kept up with us in all our hikes! Botswana’s safari and Victoria Falls were dreams come true given we were able to see the Big 5 and then some! The only thing we wanted to see but didn’t was a cheetah. Too much food and too much wine which we enjoyed to excess!”
-Janice from Hartwell Georgia
Trip of a lifetime in Italy
We had trip of a lifetime, and thank you so much for helping make it happen! We had some rain in Como (being stuck on top of a mountain in a hailstorm will make a good story) but were able to make the most of it. It was a really wonderful trip! We really loved our time at Fattoria Lavacchio, the cooking class with Gianni, and all of our time experiencing the different cities. Thank you for everything! I’ve attached a couple of pictures of the highlights.I am so grateful for you and this experience. Thanks again,
-Diquan and Melissa
South Africa
I wanted to thank you again for an absolutely amazing trip! Everything went so smoothly on a logistics end. The places and people you had us visit created a truly life changing experience – I’m still struggling to put it all into words. South Africa will always have a very special place in my heart and I look forward to the day I can go back.
I am so grateful for you and this experience. Thanks again,
Southern African Expedition
We had an amazing experience during our MBA Global Immersion course to Southern Africa (Zambia, Botswana and South Africa). Working with Keith and Lazy Lizard Travel was pleasant and everything was very well organized. Our group of students had the best comments and raved how smoothly everything worked. “Best Everrr!” were the daily comments heard throughout the trip which led us from a safari into big company’s boardrooms to the top of Table Mountain and more.
I agree, best ever!
Honeymoon: St lucia
We can’t stop raving about you and the wonderful honeymoon you planned for us!
I ended up making one of those cute photo album books to show off our wonderful honeymoon! What a great honeymoon that was!!!! I wish I was back there in St. Lucia almost every day 🙂 I keep trying to convince Andrew to go on another trip to the Caribbean…. we are hoping maybe for our one year anniversary in mid-April! I know you are knee-deep in wedding planning right now, but I just wanted you to know that you gave us such a beautiful gift- a gift that both Andrew and I will remember for a lifetime. Thank you for being so thoughtful and good at what you do!
Florence + Rome
We wanted to thank you for planning such a wonderful trip for us. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was both relaxing and informational.
We especially loved Florence and the hotel. It was so beautifully appointed and had wonderful amenities. The wine tasting was great. We had a great time at the Wine Estate with a tour and another tasting.
We had an amazing time in Rome as well. Our hotel in Rome provided great service.
Both of our tour guides were amazing! Thank you again!
I am so grateful for you and this experience. Thanks again,
Scottish Golf Tour
Just wanted to applaud you with a big “thank you” for all of your work in making our arrangements for our much successful trip to and fro to Scotland. We were well taken care of by your drivers, host hotels and golf arrangements.
Again thank you and God bless.
Sights Of Italy
Hey Su!
We had the most wonderful time in Italy. Every place was spectacular, and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the country. Jess and I both are looking forward to going back in the future. Lavacchio was unbelievably beautiful and I already want to go back and enjoy more of what it had to offer. Every place we stayed was clean/beautiful and we had no issues getting around the country thanks to the private transfers. We will send some photos later this week!
Thank you so much for planning this wonderful trip. Jess and I constantly said how easy and seamless everything was, and it would not have been that way without your help. If there is a preferred way/site that we can use to leave a review, please let me know, we would love to do so! And please share the other couple’s info, would be great to meet them!
The only thing that we did not get to do was the Arno River tour in Florence; there was a nasty hail storm/rain that forced Sireon to cancel the tour. I called Sireon when I was over there and they advised that once I am stateside to connect with you about coordinating a refund from Sireon. If it is easier for me to give them a call directly, just let me know.
Thank you again, Su!!

Botswana, Zimbabwe & South Africa
Our family recently had a wonderful trip to three different countries in Africa thanks in large part to the planning done by Lazy Lizard Travel.
We worked primarily with Su Holshausen to organize our vacation. She has a tremendous knowledge of the area and gave us many useful recommendations about where to stay and what activities to do while we were there. She also listened to us regarding the type of vacation that our family would enjoy and then arranged the trip accordingly. We did not have any problems with our travel arrangements (airlines, transfers, hotels and excursions) and it was good to know that we would be well taken care of on each leg of our journey.
She prepared us well for what to expect and then gave us any necessary contact information in case we had any problems or questions while we were away.
We would definitely recommend Lazy Lizard Travel for anyone who wants to visit Africa.

Mexico
It truly was a magical vacation, and the wedding itself was absolutely lovely! The location and quality time with friends and family was exactly what we had envisioned.
Thank you (and your wonderful daughter) for all your planning, logistics, and dedication you put toward making the destination wedding a reality. Any family or friends that were hesitant about the idea in the beginning were converts by the end (including the father of the bride)!
– Kathleen
Seychelles
It was beautiful there! Just loved it.
I was able to go diving in Praslin and it was wonderful. We adored Praslin and that hotel!
We had a wonderful time! The beaches were gorgeous!
I could see myself visiting again, hopefully soon.
Thank you for everything!
– Suzette in North Carolina
Puerto Rico
St. Regis was absolutely perfect and the service was incredible. There were not many people there so we felt like we owned the place! We even found time to get over to the golf greens and hit some balls, something that we have not done in years.
We visited Old San Juan for a day and were able to taste many different Puerto Rican foods.
Thank you so much for helping Rob make this so special for me. You, once again, made our vacation perfect! Just for us! I am very grateful.

Honeymoon: Cancun
As far as your help through Lazy Lizard Travel, we could not have asked for more. We wanted to avoid the headache of bookings with airlines and the hotel and you definitely succeeded. I really liked the fact that you took time out of your day to personally meet me to give us our itinerary. The gift bag with chocolates, champagne glasses, chap-stick, sunscreen and baggage locks was a really nice touch. It shows that you genuinely care about your clients and the work you do. I would suggest your professional travel planning to anyone looking for this kind of service. I actually already have to some friends who are getting married this year!
Again thank you very much for planning our amazing trip. It’s something we will never forget!
