I have worked with Janene Dos Anjos since 2008 and she has thus far arranged six extremely successful cultural tours for Southdowns College, to a variety of exotic destinations: Singapore and Vietnam 2009; Turkey 2010; Malaysia and Bali, Indonesia 2011; China 2012; Greece and Dubai 2013, and to Russia in 2014.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sun and Sand Events due to Janene’s consummate professionalism and her exceptional organisational skills. She is very accommodating when it comes to working out suitable, interesting itineraries and she is very aware of individual budget constraints. Her extensive travels and the many years of experience which she has gained in the tourism industry make her an excellent advisor and her guidance during the past seven years of our working relationship has been invaluable.

Janene only works in conjunction with reliable destination management companies (DMCs) abroad and this facilitates trouble-free touring – an essential requirement when one is supervising large groups of teenagers overseas. Whilst on tour in Turkey during 2010, a tour member’s passport was stolen and Janene, in conjunction with her DMC, made the arrangements to have the document replaced with the minimum of fuss and without major disruption to the tour.

What is most heartening about working with a company like Sun and Sand Events is the personal care and attention paid to each client. Janene has taken the time to get to know me and she is now aware of what type of tours and activities will suit me and the students at my school. She is thus able to advise me accordingly. Janene personally delivers all of the travel documentation prior to departure and so ensures that everything is in order. She meets the tour group at the airport on the day of departure and facilitates the check-in procedure so that everything runs smoothly. Janene is also always only a phone call or an e-mail away – even whilst the group is touring – which is most reassuring should one require her assistance or input. Whenever I have had a question or a concern, Janene’s response has always been quick and relevant, which is an indication of her commitment and dedication to her profession.

Working with Janene has been an absolute pleasure and I would be hard-pressed to find another travel agent of her calibre - who puts the interests of her clients first and pays such meticulous attention to detail. I know that when Sun and Sand Events is involved, all of the tour arrangements will have been taken care of properly and, subsequently, I would be loathe to use any other company to organise the Southdowns College cultural tours on my behalf.

We have had the privilege of working with Janene from Sun and Sand Events for approximately 4 years. Janene has assisted us with both national and international tours. Her service has always been of the highest quality and she often goes beyond the call of duty to ensure that tours go off without any problems.

We would not hesitate to recommend the services of Sun & Sand Events, and continue to make use of the agency for our own school tours.

We take this opportunity of thanking Janene for the support, advice and professionalism we receive at all times.

I have been involved, as lecturer and group leader, in the Wits Business School’s international business elective trips for MBA students since 2001 and have been directly responsible for these trips since 2007.
During this time I have worked with a number of travel agents and tour operators, and have had the pleasure of working with Janene Dos Anjos since 2012.
To date she has arranged three very successful trips for us:
 Argentina & Chile in November 2012
 Israel in May 2013
 China in September 2013
and is currently assisting us with the planning of our 2014 trip to Southeast Asia.
I have found her service to be very professional, but also very flexible and accommodating. We decided to change our 2013 trip to Turkey very late due to concerns over unrest in Istanbul, and Janene managed to pull together a superb programme for China at late notice as a replacement.
Janene is always ready with creative ideas and valuable suggestions, and has come up with some very useful options that we would never have considered. Her experience and contacts have made her more than just a service provider and I consider her a valuable part of our team.
