Lisa from Entire Travel Group organised our trip to French Polynesia including a cruise of the islands on Windstar. Her knowledge of the area is awesome, and helped us enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. I can't thank her enough for her guidance and support, her transport team on the ground were fantastic and made the trip effortless for us.
