"The Kathmandu Valley adventure was utterly enchanting. The scenery was breathtaking, the Buddhist and Hindu temples magnificent, and David's leadership was highly competent and relaxed. His deep appreciation for and knowledge of life in the Himalayas opened a new world to me. I now plan to follow David to Bhutan!"
KRISTA H., Seattle, Washington
"David was a superb coach, drawing on his deep knowledge of Himalayan culture, as well as his own artistic sense and photographic skills. He played a pivotal role in helping me take my photography to a much higher level. He was a terrific travel companion and was very effective in helping our group work well in the face of challenging travel situations."

"It has been our good fortune to have traveled with David in both Bhutan and Nepal. His commitment to traveling in a manner that is respectful, ethical and enriching to all participants (those who live in those lands and those of us visiting) is exceptional in the world of travel tours. David's knowledge of the region and personal relationships with people in the countries we visited opened doors to a deeper understanding and richer experience for us. We are eager to travel with David in the future and wholeheartedly recommend his tours to everyone we know."

"David is an excellent leader, and he made our trip to Tibet memorable and productive. He is at once an excellent photographer, a conscientious teacher and an experienced and considerate traveler. He helped build a convivial spirit among our expedition and also taught us both the technical and personal aspects of photographing the people of Tibet. His is a very humanistic approach, and he led us to connect - in a real, human, even spiritual sense - with the people and landscapes we encountered."

"I have been fortunate to travel to Bhutan many times. The tour with David was the most memorable. His vast knowledge of Bhutanese culture, Buddhist history and beliefs and his ability to wrap his clients in the tapestry that is Bhutan was unparalleled."
KIRK M., Gainesville, Florida
"My son and I toured Bhutan with David in a group of twelve. It was an extraordinary opportunity. David obviously loves the Himalaya, its people and sights. His experience, enthusiasm, sensitivity, and photographer's eye offered us a unique introduction to Bhutan's exotic but approachable culture. David is highly organized, but flexible. The ground support was first rate. I look forward to future trips."
