"I'm from France and consider myself a pretty hard critic, but Brandon and Escape the 9 to 5 completely blew me away with their New Zealand trip to Glenorchy and Wanaka. It was absolutely fantastic, and now I'm heading to The Remarkables and Alta Lake. Thanks again, Brandon. You nailed it."
"I finally quit my job and I'm heading off to backpack Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and then Bali. I've been using Escape the 9 to 5 the whole time, and it's genuinely been so helpful."
"Thank you so much for all your tips! We're having the best time in Japan. Escape the 9 to 5 made planning so easy, and it's honestly turned into the best trip we've ever had."
"Thank you so much for planning our trip to Komodo. From the accommodation to the boat trip and, of course, Komodo Island itself, every part of the experience was incredible. It was genuinely one of the greatest trips of our lives."
"Before I found Escape the 9 to 5, my Bali trip started as a disaster with a one-day flight delay and lost baggage, but they helped me get $600 back and my hotel night reimbursed. They completely turned my trip around by planning Monkey Forest, rice terraces, water temples, and giving me some of the best recommendations of my life. Thanks for saving my vacation."
