From the beginning Amanda has always been responsive to my inquiries, is very patient as I had 20 questions on the different tours and wanted to make sure it was the right one. She has great insights and gave fantastic recommendations. The final UK tour was fantastic, we had a great tour guide, very energetic and she made sure everyone knew where to go and knew where to be. She also made herself available 24/7. There were a lot of moving parts to this trip. And even though we were in a different time zone, Amanda made herself available for us when I had questions or if there was an unexpected schedule change. She never failed to respond to any of my questions. This gave us peace of mind knowing that Amanda was there with answers! The wife and I have always felt that Amanda was our "Personal Travel Agent" because that's how she makes you feel!

Both Kelly and we invested a good amount of time discussing a potential vacation trip to Mexico. Kelly promised to email us particulars within the next day or in two days at most. About six weeks later, we still have never heard another thing from her. Hopefully she is not terribly sick or passed, but if not, she would hardly inspire us to put our time, money, and more in her hands if she is unwilling or incapable of carrying through. (Yes, we could have called her, but we also wanted to see how reliable this agency is.) We ended up planning the trip ourselves.

My wife (then girlfriend) and I had Myths put together a trip to Nepal for us. Our guides were very knowledgeable and amusing. I had told the Myths crew I was planning on proposing towards the end of our trip. They helped arrange a sunset boat tour of Lake Phewa and even had a bottle of iced champagne waiting for us in our room. I'd recommend Myths and Mountains wholeheartedly for anyone looking for a truly moving and unique travel experience.
