Testimonials

Aaron and Vivien of The Dharma Trails were not only lovely guests, but the content that they created for our hotel was amazing. Not only did the content they create bring in a lot of buzz (hundreds of comments on each photo which they responded to directly) but they exposed lots of new people to our hotel and to Guatemala in general. They also posted a great blog post about us on their ecological travel blog which was beautifully put together and provided a wealth of information. We are so thrilled that we teamed up with them.

Vivien and Aaron were a pleasure to work with, as they are very responsive and attentive. They also captured stunning assets and generated amazing social content that blew away the client and our team. We recommend working with them and would love to work with them again if the opportunity arises.

We worked with The Dharma Trails in June this year (2021) and they provided us with an array of amazing content. Their photos captured the magical essence of our establishment and the social media posts and stories showed a true guest experience. We would highly recommend them to other establishments who are looking for creative content through influencer collaborations.
