What They’re Saying

We have also been blessed to travel extensively and Marc has made it so seamless. His extensive experience gives him insight to make wonderful suggestions, he's helped us plan cruises to Norway, Australia & New Zealand and a fabulous all-inclusive trip to Playa Del Carmen. We recommend him to everyone. They all say the same thing, afterward, "why would I ever want to go through all that hassle of doing it myself when Marc makes it happen so efficiently" He's the best!

M Gibson

If you think that you don’t need a travel agent, you are mistaken. Marc can book things you can’t do yourself and then customizes your travel amenities to create the dream trip at a cost that works for you. I recommend Papaya & Company Travel for all of your travel needs.

Dr Mike Forsling

Papaya Travel is amazing! We have worked with Marc for more than 10 years. I have full confidence in his experience and have never been disappointed. Marc - knows the vendors and has always set up the most wonderful vacations - from cruises to all inclusive resorts. No one else could even come close to matching his knowledge and expertise. I wouldn't trust anyone else to match what Marc has done for us.

Steve and Marla Adams

We travel to see and do things we had only dreamed about, to experience new cultures, to enjoy exciting life experiences, and have a fun, fun time. Marc at Papaya & Co organizes our leisure family travel and awesome adventures, so I don’t have to worry. He cares and devotes time and effort to make all the arrangements to ensure success. Our adventures have included cruises in the Mediterranean, Baltic, Caribbean and Iceland and trips to Hawaii and Cancun. We recently booked a big family Disney Cruise for next year (2023) and couldn’t have done it (not at all!) without Marc

We have traveled the world for many years with the help of Papaya & Company Travel. I have even sent employees, friends and family members on trips with them too. Marc is very knowledgeable, professional, price conscious and willing to go the extra mile to meet our needs. (seems to know the locals wherever we have traveled). Marc has helped with quick get-a-ways for just my wife and I to multi-generational family trips. Cruised Europe, Caribbean, Southern Caribbean, New Zealand, Australia, traveled 14 day, three islands in Tahiti; Hawaii, Disney World, Cancun, Los Cabos and we even have a Disney Cruise Scheduled for next June with the whole family. Marc knows his stuff! Where to go, what to see and takes care of all the small things we don’t even think about. We wouldn’t travel anywhere without Marc’s help.
