He has arranged private horseback riding in the gardens of Versailles, a grandmother-and-grandson trip through Japan, and pre-opening visits to the Prado.

Testimonials

"My husband and I have been using Kareem George's services for our travels for several years. He and his team have been very helpful indeed with our more exotic trips (to South Africa, for example) and for arranging cruises. His recommendations on hotels have been uniformly excellent and the day trips he has booked for us have been extremely enjoyable, as have been the guides he introduced us to. Kareem works with luxury travel, but is respectful of budgets within that sphere — we have been more than satisfied by how our trips have worked out." — M. Winters
