Emily's attention to detail is impeccable in everything she does. Throughout the trip, Emily ensured that everyone was accommodated and having a good time.
While keeping it professional, Emily had fun with us all, and I always felt safe in her care.
There are no words to describe how grateful I am for Emily's service, and I look forward to crossing paths with her again in the future.

I was nervous about travelling alone on a group tour but the nerves quickly turned to excited and hilarious memories!
Each place we visited had interesting traits which made it more intriguing! I was surprised how different America was in each state! From hiking in the Grand Canyon to busting out some (embarrassing) moves including the recurring worm on busy dance floors. I can honestly say my trip was one of a kind. What made my trip were my Tour Leaders and fellow travellers!
Emily, now that girl is just full of energy and can leave you with a smile! Every time I was with Emily we were always giggling at something or breaking a move on the dance floor! She is just an interesting person who has a unique gift to interact with people. I never heard Emily complain once and if something did not go to plan she was always seeing the positive of it and making the best out of it.
Hands down my trip was awesome and Emily just pushed it that little bit more and made me enjoy myself even more! Would love to do another trip with her as my Tour Guide!

It is easy to underestimate how much hard work the tour guides put in to making sure your trip as incredible as it can be - every drive, stop, meal, optional was seamless and incredible. Cant thank Emily, Kade and our driver Mike enough! x
Loved it, it was just harder having to join an existing tour half way - Emily (Guide) and Jeff (Driver) were the best!

I didn’t expect to enjoy the trip as much as I did, and a large contributing factor to why I enjoyed it so much was due to the environment the Emily established and nurtured during the trip. Great work, and I look forward to doing another trip soon!

I can honestly say she made my time in America one of the best ‘vacations’ ever! Her bubbly, passionate and attentive nature made it easy to enjoy every opportunity. Our bus driver Jeff was incredible too. I think I am speaking for everyone in saying we will never forget this experience! The itinerary was well set out and at no point did I get bored. The accommodation was reasonable and some of the meals were absolutely delicious. I’d definitely recommend the Grand Southern to my friends and family.
