Our relationship with CODA and Jim Smith goes back to my trip on a CODA tour to India in 2005. Since then we have enjoyed multiple CODA group tours, the last of which was 2019 Arab Sheikdoms, as well as many [private] trips for just the two of us. Throughout this time, we have experienced the benefits of dealing with a well-informed and well-organized travel organization that knows our travel desires inside and out.
