The arts, music, and natural habitat are a wonderland of inspiration, and I came home with fascinating pieces of art and vivid memories. John's attention to detail and communication were professional and personal; and a highlight was an invitation to attend an exclusive New Year's Eve party in Rio, high above Copacabana overlooking the millions of celebrants on the beach below. With the amount of traveling I do, I'm very appreciative of John Clifford's expertise every step of the way." — Keith B. The Ultimate Japan Itinerary for LGBTQ+ Travelers
