    "We couldn't have had the lovely trip we had without Mango helping us out! The logistics of figuring out flight times, transfers, lodging, even in today's web savvy world, would've been just too overwhelming. The peace of mind that came with our well-thought-out itinerary and the smooth, seamless transfers were priceless. We'll recommend you to all of our friends! And just as an aside, the Mango Velcro envelope and the T-shirts rock! Thanks!"
