“My husband and I discovered Evan at Longer Vacations when trying to plan our first trip to New Zealand. We had already approached several agencies, and all of them “needed” to know our timeline and exactly what we wanted to do while there before offering us any help. Evan, on the other hand, helped us to decide just what we wanted to do, how long we needed to be there to do it all, and gave us some much needed advice along the way. We discussed everything from places to stay, where to eat, what to avoid for tourist traps, and how to travel the country. He was very friendly, personable, and attentive, and he showed a genuine interest in our enjoyment of our trip. At our first stop in the North Island, we had a slight problem with the hotel room we were in, but with one quick phone call to Evan we were quickly in a better room with a full complimentary breakfast. Our trip also took place just two weeks after the devastating earthquake in Christchurch, where we were supposed to spend one night. Evan kept a close watch on the news there, and when the aftershocks continued and my uneasiness was evident, he arranged our plans so that we skipped over the city and stayed the night safely a few towns away. Planning a successful trip this big is not an easy task, so finding someone knowledgeable and helpful is important Evan proved more than a travel agent- he was our complete travel guide.

“Last year’s trip to Ireland was just perfectly planned. We had been to Ireland once before and it was great, but the trip last year with Longer Vacations was just perfect! The hotel accommodations were great. You let us know the best places to go to and where the best entertainment was. We would not have changed a thing, and are looking forward to the next trip with you. Colleen Larrea. NC”
“Last year’s tour was simply an incredible value for money. Great accommodations, just the right blend of relaxation, partying and touring the countryside, and the opportunity to meet and travel with some awesome folks! Evan knows his profession. There’s no better way to see it than with Longer Vacations! Can’t wait to go back. Julie Bernier, Maine“

“It was a pleasure to plan my trip(s) with Evan. Through him and Longer Vacations, I have been to the four major islands of Hawaii, and to the North of Ireland and South/Southwest of Ireland as well. The Ireland trips were custom designed for our group, the Hawaii trip was part of a pre-designed travel. Evan listened carefully to what I was seeking in my travels, and did much research to accommodate my needs. The Hawaii trip was a long time dream, and was very well planned. We saw the beauty of four islands, took several optional excursions, and stayed in lovely resorts. The Ireland trips were most detailed, covered most of Ireland and its beauty. We had the opportunity to interface with some of the lovely Irish people, and get the “feel” of the areas visited. Our local guide was knowledgeable and pleasant too. Evan makes a point of understanding his clients’ needs and being informed about the area to be visited. And he is delightful to deal with. I will have him arrange my next major travel!
