Does anyone have experience working with John Barth of Adventure Unlimited??

Me and a buddy are looking at a couple of his hunts in Dallas.

Thanks!!!

John is a reputable booking agent, you will get what he says.

Cheers

I have used John and was well pleased. He is very knowledgable and delivers on what he sells.

He is British. Books for some of our chaps in Luangwa. Good sort.

I have used John since be started AU. He is honest and reliable. He will be there for yOu should anything go wrong in any aspect of the trip. I have booked in excess of 20 trips with him. I would highoy recommend him. Especially for anything in Africa.

I totally agree with what Larry has said here.
John is the best...after a failed Leopard hunt with another booking agent, John took great care and booked me with a PH who found me my Leopard within 3 days.
I will never use anyone else. John attends all of the hunting shows and is very friendly and approachable.

BTW...John is a Texan, not British!

My error.

Dont insult the British!!! No seriuosly if we were in a position where we chose to use an agent it would be either John Bath or Wendal- both solid guys!

Mark Young also has a good following and is prepared to come and have a look at my Kafue venture. At his expense.

Tell you what mate he has stuck with me thick and thin and I have many friends in the industry that failed to support me when the going was tough. He introduced me to some of the finest people I have ever come across.

Never met the bloke but he is welcome around my campfire anytime agent or not.

Is it just me or was that a bit of a back handed compliment to agents?

I've used John three times and all three have been positive.

John is solid, competent and runs a professional operation. Book with confidence!

John, and Merrona Warner his assisstant, are undoubtedly the best I've ever dealt with. Will use them again, and would recommend them highly!

John is a great Guy and a fantastic booking agent,he has been booing hunts for me in Zimbabwe for over 10 years

I disagree completely and for good reason They know why!!!!

they may know why but the rest of us are in the dark. oh well, you can't please all the people all the time.

Yes please elaborate. Though I remember a particular agent who disappeared for a year or two after that incident if I remember rightly.

You can please most people most of the time, Some people some of the Time but you cant please everyone ALL the time.

Ive never met Mr. John Barth but he has some pretty good endorsements so far

Would this have anything to do with you weighing 400 pounds and being unable to walk more than 100 yards ? I'm just asking?
