THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES!

We were thrilled with what you planned for us. The perfect safari and we loved all the animals. So thrilled for the Great Migration.

That tree lodge in Lake Manyara is special.

You did offer an extra night there, but our work schedules wouldn’t allow more time. I am still thinking of that place.

Once again we were on a wonderful journey to Luangwa National Park and we thoroughly loved it. Just amazing time and those seats on Qatar were what flying is all about. Thank you for the advice and I am glad we took it.

The trip was incredibly well planned and those lodges in the National Park, quite a treat. Thank you.

What a nice suggestion you made by adding Santorini at the end to the River Cruise.

Everything was just great. Thanks as usual.

What a great surprise we were not only happy to our name on a sign as we came out of customs in Bangkok, we were blown away by his big smile after 22 hours of traveling. I never told you I spoke German, so when we were greeted by him in English, I noticed his German accent and we hit it off when he told me he is Thai but was born in Berlin. From the airport we chatted all the way to the hotel in both English and German. What a nice surprise for me. What a great start and it just kept getting better and better. Love the hotel and the breakfast this morning.

Thank you –

Botswana, Victoria Falls and Cape Town and Sabi Sands Kruger Park. The restaurants you suggested were great and loved the Cod Father. We were not fully prepared for the amazingness! We were happy we event to both Botswana and Kruger Park safaris.  Flying into Botswana is so awesome!

Landed and transfer to our lodge and immediately stopped to see the elephants.

The Botswana camp is on the water, so saw lots of hippos and everything was just great.

Thanks for arranging this beautiful itinerary.

Leaving for home in the morning and we hate to leave Italy. What a wonderful trip, we loved everything. My mother enjoyed everything you planned at a wonderful pace.

She especially enjoyed the cooking class. The tour guide (lady) in Rome was outstanding, please pass to her boss my comments. Thanks from Rome ! JM

Coordination in and out of Amman airport was great. No challenges and incredibly accommodating to our needs. Our driver was Jordanian who lived in Texas for many years, he invited us to his home the last day and his wife cooked dinner for us, probably best meal in Jordan! Guide was knowledgeable and effective. All the hotels were gorgeous and very nice. The Hotel air balloon was worth it and recommended if you have time for Wadi Rum. We would recommend visiting Jordan in conjunction with additional travels in the region.

Poland & France – September 2018.

Hi Roger, we had a fabulous trip, We loved Poland. So much to see and history to learn. Gabe was a wonderful guide. He has such knowledge and his itinerary was great.

Paris was good too. Loved the George V Hotel, the guide in Paris was good and the driver very nice. The itinerary was good there and “D” enjoyed it very much.

It was a really great trip.

 

Thanks Roger!

INDIA – FEBRUARY 2018

We are sitting in our hotel in Agra, looking out at the Taj Mahal. Since we are near the half-way point of our adventure, I just wanted to say thank you for planning such an extraordinary adventure for us. We are both learning so much about India – its history and its culture – and discovering that after 27 years, we still like each other’s company.

We just said goodbye to the guide who has been with us since we arrived in Rajasthan.  He has been superb. A 29 year old with a young wife and child, he is, first and foremost, a lovely human being — thoughtful and warm, smart, with a warm sense of humor.  And he has also been an excellent guide – his knowledge of Indian history and culture is truly impressive (and neither of us are easily impressed); his willingness to accommodate us – whether it was Alan’s desire to go horseback riding in Udaipur or our decision to walk up to the Amber palace rather than ride the poor elephants or what became our standard practice – a late lunch and no dinner.  He did everything possible to make this our trip.  We like him so much that, because he is free when we return to Delhi at the end of the trip, we asked that he be with us for our last 2 days.  And I suspect you’ll find this as amusing as we did, he has apparently developed a specialty for Israeli tourists.  He told us that many of the guides warned him that the Israelis are difficult, that if they don’t like something they complain loudly.  He, however, loves working with them and has even mastered a few words of Hebrew. Indeed, the day after tomorrow, he will be with a new couple from Israel. Thanks for the memories –

India – February 2018, LF – Washington DC.

S and I want to thank you for arranging a marvelous trip to China and Japan. It was all the right things to do. We learned a great deal and met many nice people in both countries. The guides in China were first rate and we had many good hours together. The hotels were all great and the breakfasts were excellent. We wouldn’t necessarily make it a practice to stay in a Buddhist temple or at a Japanese Ryokan, but we are glad we did it to enjoy knowing the experience.We are definitely planning to return to Asia in the near future.  Thanks for all your assistance and putting up with all the questions.

Japan – October 2017, J & S – Charleston SC

We are home safe and sound. Our trip was excellent with no hitches and we were in wonderful hands every step of the way. The cooking lesson at the end was a real highlight to both of us and I highly recommend it to any of your clients. We went to the market and shopped for spices and vegetables. Then we chopped alongside an Australian Dad and his son. What fun. We went everywhere and the hero of our trip was Mr. Herod, our private driver who took us all around India for over 10 days. He was a wonderful respectful companion. We can’t thank you enough for setting this up and we were extremely pleased that even though we were two ladies, we were not with a group. You are welcome to use me as a reference. Again, our sincere appreciation for such a well-planned trip.

India – February 2017, M M – San Francisco CA

You did an excellent job. All the tours went off without a hitch. The trip was phenomenal.

Alaska – June 2014, DTG – Orlando FL

We are sitting on the plane de-icing for departure and I am writing while memories are fresh. The trip was fabulous and we appreciate all that you did to make it happen. All the flights were excellent and we thought Qantas was comfortable. All transport to and from airports were in nice vehicles and timely.

We loved our guide and Philip Island was outstanding. It is worth it to see the Penguins. The private viewing area you arranged is a must. Kangaroo Island was a wonderful experience. The XXX (other couple) are raving about your service and singing your praises.

Australia & New Zealand – March 2014, RA – Winter Park FL

We’ve been home for a few days and still trying to adjust to the time change, food and cultural changes and returning to normal life. I want to thank you for putting together such a great trip and providing us with great guides, drivers etc , who worked to our laid back style and made the trip so wonderful. I could have probably left after meeting the Dalai Lama on our first morning, but we had so many more wonderful adventures and then, unbelievably, met the Dalai Lama, again on our last evening!! (Wow, how did you do it???!!!) Some of our accommodations were spectacular; especially the Vanya Vilas in Ranthambore (where we saw tigers!! and had some great billiard matches!) the Udaivilas and lunch at the Imperial Fabulous) We’d all love to stay there next time! (but then with our good fortune to see the Dalai Lama, maybe we shouldn’t change!)We would probably each tell you different things we loved, but we’d all agree on Bhutan as wonderful and a hope to return for a longer trip. And as for me, my favorites were Delhi (especially the old part and the Gandhi Museum), Udaipur (wonderful neighborhoods and market and 1st day of festival of colors) all of Bhutan and Varanasi (I am still taking in all the many things that happened there. We all found India (northern) and Bhutan very spiritual, and it added greatly to our trip. I was taken by the dazzling colors…in the clothes, food, spices,jewelry, paint on the doors, windows and buildings. We loved the food, walking in the streets and markets, our archery lesson, hanging in our luxury tents (!), talking with people all around, yoga, monasteries and temples, and learning some of the history. We had to fly to Newark early after our flight was cancelled, and waited all day to see if our flight would leave…thanks for trying to help us, Roger! We will spread the word of the planning you did for the trip  and your help in making it so special! Regards.

India – February 2010, S.T. Winter Park FL.

We had a wonderful time. Everything was great and went off as planned. Cape town is such a beautiful city and our guide Jamie was prompt and professional. Now on to the safari which was incredible. We were all amazed by how close we got to the animals. During one of the evening safaris, we even stopped to admire the stars. This was an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much.

South Africa January 2010, J.W. – Lusaka Africa and Kids in Houston TX.

The trip was fantastic, we did not want to leave. What an incredible country and such warm people. The kids had a blast on all the tours. Thanks so much for setting up this awesome trip.

Costa Rica – August 2009, M.M. Orange County CA

We did a week long stint at the Masai Mara reserve and it was perfect. I understand you organized a romantic dinner for us on our last night and that was special. Everything was perfect and did we see a lot? Unbelievable migration. Thank you.

Masai Mara Kenya – August 2009, A.M. LOS ANGELES CA

I wanted you to know that the family enjoyed their trip last month on Safari through Tanzania. They said their private guide and driver was wonderful. Also all the people at all the camps were so nice and friendly. When I asked them “ Did they feel this had been a trip of a lifetime” She replied – Most definitely. Thanks again.

Tanzania – July 2009, M.G. Travel Agent Orlando Florida

The adventure to Turkey & Dubai was a SENSATION. It was so great we wanted to thank you for the fabulous tour you provided us. Ahmet and his assistant Oman went out of his way to provide exceptional services all through Turkey. We would reward them with the highest rating American Express provides. Superlative in every detail. Now where do we go next?

Turkey & Dubai – May 2009, VN Phoenix AZ

Just wanted to say a Big Thank you to you and your staff. Got back last night and have nothing but great things to say about the itinerary and the detailed planning you did. The hotels were great, transfers always on time and when they said they would be there, there they were. The guides were knowledgable and could not do enough to make us comfortable. The tours were awesome and I cannot explain what an adventure that Zip line over the forest canopy was like. We all wanted to do it again. The hike at Arenal Volcano was very educational. And your planning topped everything off with soaking in the Natural hot springs at the end. Once again thanks and cannot wait to book another trip with you.

Costa Rica – December 2008, D.B. Winter Park Florida

This was a beautiful tour with exceptional services. The details shared by the guides were fantastic and enlightening. The transfer staff always walked right up to reception and settled us into our hotels. Now that is service! One of the drivers named Raj was with us for quite a few days and he was extremely good. We laughed and laughed lots. What a memorable experience, just like you told us it would be. These hotels were better than we have back home. Some of them voted top 10 in the world. Thank you, will be calling soon for China.

India & Nepal – October 2008, S.S. BOULDER CO

We’re back. What an unbelievable trip! Thank you so much for making it special. Loved our guides in both India and Nepal. They were so good and got to know all our family members and laughed right along with us. I thought the order of the trip was perfect. I liked starting in Nepal and ending at the #1 hotel in the world. How can you top that? The rafting was a blast. We all Loved the Annapurna Trek. All of India was amazing from Varanasi to the Taj Mahal, lunch with a local family, a miraculous late addition, an Indian wedding, the hotels and least but not last – the cows. I think it will take months to absorb. I keep thinking about the mothers scrubbing their laundry on the rocks. So thanks for everything. Where should we go next?

India – July 2008, A.K. Boulder CO

You were right that we needed to see China through the eyes of their young. Your guide Allan was young (30’s) but so experienced and knowledgeable. He was an expert in every way and he knew how to handle deluxe clients. His enthusiasm was contagious and his love for his country apparent. As a National guide, he was not limited to Beijing but travels 9 months out of the year with foreigners. We could not have asked for a more efficient guide and I want to thank you for your expertise in finding him for our trip. Again thanks for making this trip a huge success.

China – June 2008, L.F. New York NY.

Our group returned safely and we thank you for your arrangements. Made the connection on the way home at JFK. Ghana is a great place to visit. Thanks again.

Ghana Africa – April 2008, J.G. Minneapolis MN

Thank you so much for preparing our honeymoon trip through India. Everyone along the route, knew it was our honeymoon, great job prepping everyone. Also everyone took good care of us. We saw 6 tigers at Bhandavgarh National Park. Our long distance drivers through Rajasthan were superb. We are both travel savvy, but I must say you did an awesome job. Thank you so much for the caring attitude during the length of planning. That started the whole process off just right and then the trip itself was perfect.

India – November 2007, J.K. WASHINGTON DC

Everything in Russia went perfectly. Even the weather was perfect. Ada your guide was wonderful, friendly, and very knowledgable. I will call you when I get back.

Russia – August 2007, S.F. West Palm Beach FL

We are back and we loved all of Japan and everything you did. The monkeys were there, the archery lessons, the Kabuki Theater, And to top it off about 5 rows from the front for the major Sumo Wrestling match was icing on the cake. Thank you.

Japan – June 2007, M.B. – Phoenix AZ

My wife and I just completed a tour of India, October 2006 through India with MR & MRS. G. The escort you appointed made our whole trip complete. He was informed, funny, knows how to treat his clients, and above all he is a wonderful person. I realize he meets new groups every month, but the way he made us feel was just special and that is a great asset for a tour guide. He understands the subtleties of the English language and he “ gets it “ every time. We even went to his home to see how an Indian family lives and he said it was such an honor to have us visit. I told him it was our honor. What an amazing job you did putting together our itinerary.

India – November 2006, G.P. DENVER CO

Dr & Mrs. F loved their vacation in Ireland. They rated it excellent!

Ireland – July 2005., A. M. Orlando FL.

You sent a group of people for a tour of our small hospital here. They brought a lot of cloths and other things to donate. I would like you to tell everyone thank you. Please come again. It is always nice to meet some tourists, my English is not good, but I understand.

Tanzania – May 2005, Sister V.H. (Catholic Nun) Tanzania.

It was a great trip. Although those 400 steps were a little hard for this 73 year old lady, everything went perfect. I loved India, it was so colorful, exotic and exciting. I think the Taj Mahal is the most beautiful building in the world. I loved all the palaces and temples and the teeming streets of animals and peoples. What a fantastic camera shot. Thank you for one of the best trips of my life.

India – March 2005, S.D. Tucson AZ

I don’t know how you can go anywhere in the world without going to India once in your lifetime. We had a marvelous trip thanks to you. What a perfect tour. I am telling everyone about it.

 

India – February 2005, N.S. Tucson. AZ

The logistics of handling our large group to Timbuktu was impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Mali – December 2004, M.M. Albany NY

The guides and drivers were exceptional. One day you must see E’s 1800 slides. He is a quasi professional photographer. As for textiles, Oh My God, we spent a fortune.

India – November 2004, C.H. San Francisco.

We simply had a great time. Still talking about it. We loved the houseboat you recommended in Koh Samui. Thanks for the great job.

Thailand – September 2004, J.W. Dallas Texas.

We had a wonderful time. The gorillas were amazing. The memorials to the massacres were something else.

Rwanda – August 2004., A. C. San Francisco.

Our family wanted you to know that the trip was a WOW. The scale of the ancient buildings and the monuments is unbelievable. We loved being able to experience something we starting to learn about around age 9. What a fabulous trip, thank you.

Egypt & Jordan – June 2004, G. R. Mt. Prospect IL.

Nepal – November 2003, J.D. Chicago IL.

The trip was probably not a usual itinerary for an American. We had been in the country once before. This trip was very well planned and our driver guide was competent and very sociable. The overnight stay with a family at their farm was outstanding.

Romania – June 2003, Great Trip. L.M. Thousand Oaks CA

They had a wonderful time and the cell phone rental worked fine. So thank you so much for the wonderful arrangements they had a fantastic time. So R. as always you do a marvelous job. S.S. La Jolla CA.

Morocco – November 1997, S.H. Delray Beach FL.

What a spectacular trip of South Africa you organized for my group. The experience we had we will always cherish. I can’t thank you and your staff enough, it was perfect.

South Africa – November 1995, A. W. Los Angeles CA

If you want to arrange any kind of visit to India, Roger is the only travel consultant in North America that I wholeheartedly recommend. Not only does he have the best people working for him over there, he also has incomparable knowledge of, and passion for the country. Whether you want rugged, challenging, adventure, profound spiritual inspiration or just a well-earned or problem free rest under the coconut palms, R can come up with those combinations of the right places, the right pace, the right price and the right mixes of sheer imagination and military organizations that are the hallmark of a genius in his business.

ISRAEL – AUGUST 2023

We really enjoyed ourselves on this trip. 5 nights Barcelona and 5 in Rome was perfect for us. Each day we had a guide and saw spectacular monuments and as we are catholics, loved the Vatican. That was so special with our own guide amidst hundreds of people was icing on the cake. We enjoyed a couple of half days off to self-explore but were waiting next day for our guide again. Thank you.

RC – Nashville TN

 

June 2023 – Italy and Spain

You were right, this trip changed us. I can never sit in the back of the bus after taking your advice and biting the bullet on the Air Canada flat beds. What a treat. This was a special adventure, never once bored. The people are so happy and kind. We were really treated well. My wife loved the cooking class. I will be back again after we save up for the next one.

March 5 2023 – Thailand

What a pleasant surprise to arrive at Cairo and go by golf buggy to a private room for our visa. Now that is the Fast track you planned and it went off so well. We were out of the airport in 30 minutes. The entire trip from start to finish including the nile cruise was gorgeous. Our guide was with us throughout the whole country and he became family to us. That trip was special.

All is amazing at Singita !! We have already seen the big 5 ! Just today 5 Leopards along! Amazing. As for Hidden Valley we would like a lunch “lunch” reservation when we are in the wine lands. Do NOT cancel our other two winery reservations you suggested and made for us. Just add the Jordan and Rusk wineries as well.  Thank you very very much!!! From LG and LG and GG and EG – Miami

Tanzania – April 2019, LG and LG and GG and EG - Miami

Everything went off perfectly. Really had fun on the bicycle tour of Melbourne. Just 5 of us and our guide made a nice small group and we loved it.

The wild Kangaroos near You Yang Regional park for the day was special. Your excursion to see the penguin parade at Philip island was another hit.

Then we loved the Great Barrier reef by helicopter and snorkeling there. Golfing on Dent Island near Hamilton was fun. Sydney was spectacular

With the bridge climb, the private tour of the Opera house, and then the full day bicycling again at the Hunter Valley winelands was great.

We just loved everything really, Very well planned itinerary without a glitch. All of us thank you.

LG Orlando Florida.

Thanks – It was a wonderful trip !

South Africa and Mozambique, MS Los Angeles

We enjoyed the guide in Bangkok. The Bangkok Peninsula was great and we loved the breakfast it was so good. In Chiang Mai, my wife really liked 137 Pillars Hotel. One of the big highlights for us was the cooking school in Chiang Mai.  We really liked that. Also, the Jungle hike was great. The rest of the time in Phu Ket was great.  We did a day trip to the Phi Phi islands.  The next day we did the james bond island trip, which was neat.  I liked the stop at the Orchid and Butterfly area too. The food and service at the Anantara Resort was great. We really enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to friends.  Thanks for your help in putting that together.

Thailand – November 2017, J & J – Denver CO

It has been a pleasure to work with Cultural Vacations. Our first association began 14 years ago with our first group to Tanzania and spread to over 15 countries and many groups to each one. It is the personal touch of the owners which makes the difference. Highly recommended.

Years of School Groups all over the world – July 2017, EH Portland OR  

Overall a really interesting trip. The communication between Cultural Vacations and the staff on the ground was excellent. They knew what we had planned and what was in our itinerary. We enjoyed the flexibility of the private guides when we asked for something it was put into our itinerary. The hotels were nice and safe with great people and locations.

The remoted locations on Bali were interesting and the guides were excellent and I think Willie was the best we had on the trip. Your guide Lawrence in Singapore was also excellent who took charge and showed us everything include the Gardens by the Bay, pretty fantastic undertaking. Thanks again from both of us. We will be back.

Malaysia Indonesia & Singapore – January 2017, D & G – Berkeley CA

The kids are back in school and I have time to make a brief note to you. We adored this trip. The Temple House Hotel in Chengdu and the Panda Bear Keeper for a day were two outstanding highlights. Can’t thank you enough for your planning.

China – August 2016, AM – Denver CO

Thoroughly enjoyed it all including the pre and post private arrangements.. That was extra special.

Rhine River Cruise – May 2015, Dr. W – Winter Park FL 

Well you really came through with another of your fine tuned trips for us. Now that we are getting older, we will have to cut back a bit on the cobblestone streets. Loved the Claridges Hotel in London.

Spain & England – May 2015., AC – San Francisco.

It was truly a wonderful trip in every way and I wanted to say thank you for all your help in putting this together. All the logistics worked, the guides were great, hotels too, the food was delicious and the wines were tops, it was truly a fun and enjoyable experience. What other parts of the world do you do?

Chile – March 2014, BP – San Diego CA.

The wheelchair guy in Bangkok was excellent. The guide in Mandalay was outstanding. All the hotels were excellent. We had a great trip and wish you and your family a happy & healthy New Year.

Thailand & Myanmar – December 2012, RA Washington DC

The Morocco trip was another of your wonderful adventures. The itinerary took us to the places we wanted to visit and for the length of time that we needed to enjoy the culture. And we asked that Hadj, who picked us up at the airport and showed us Casablanca, stay with us for the whole trip. He is both knowledgeable and friendly. We think he knows everybody in Morocco! And a safe driver! Marrakesh was an exciting city. The La Maison Arabe is a fantastic immersion into the culture. We loved the Riad design, the decor, the quality food and the level of service. Those of you who have been to Morocco know how wide eyed we were at first sight of the Medina and the souks. What fun. The cooking class was terrific. So good that I cooked my first meal from a recipe: first ever! (And ate it too.) We thought Tagine meals were very tasty. Carol ordered a Tagine first thing when we got home. This is our 7th trip with you. Thanks for the memories.

Morocco – January 2010, C & G.M. Tucson AZ

I just wanted to pass Mrs. B comments about the trip. She absolutely loved it and was very impressed with the quality of the tour and tour guides. She will definitely come back for future trips as she can’t wait for the next one.

Dubai – Octuber 2009, O.M. American Express Travel PHX

Here is some play by play of our trip. The services were fantastic. Everything was perfect. The lodge at Kangaroo Island was outstanding. At Ayers Rock, our grandson said to us in the evening, Gramps I don’t know if I can ride a camel in the morning, I haven’t even ridden a horse. By the end of the camel safari he wanted to buy one and ship it home. Our daughter thought her son would get homesick traveling with Grams & Gramps and may want to come home after we reached Australia. He asked us to extend the trip! My wife and I and our grandson are extremely appreciative for the excellent arrangements and all the services you made. It was like clockwork. Thank you so much.

Australia – July 2009, S.W. Little Rock AK

I got home safe and sound after about 25 hours of flying. But I am getting used to it, trying to make it to all 7 continents this year. I wanted to give you brief thoughts on the trip. It was amazing. Can’t say enough about Roger and his team. He made sure every transfer ran smoothly, whether from airport to airport or from driver to driver when crossing borders. That was so comforting to just ease into my next country without a care and knowing someone across the Ocean was looking after me. Imagine us on the Crater floor at Ngorongoro and the driver gets a call from Roger checking up on me. Is everything OK? I shouted out that this was an awesome trip and hope he heard it. The lodges you picked were stunning the entire trip. Felt like I was living National Geographic every day. I really give Roger and the Africa trip a 10 out of 10. I will be sending my family and friends your way. Thank you.

Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa & Zambia – June 2009, J.N. Austin TX.

We just returned home and just now have time to write about the wonderful trip. Every aspect of the trip ran smooth, and the tours, guides, housing, transportation and food met our exceeded our expectations. We had an absolute great time. Thank you for helping us planning and executing this marvelous experience.

Egypt – March 2009, D.M. – Bellingham WA

We wanted to write in and give you the scoop. We had a wonderful time and thought your guide in Egypt was simply marvelous. He should be snagged and kept for all others. Being on a private tour, we loved all the porterage done for us, we simply got into our car and off we went. Would have liked another day in Petra and you did suggest it, but we had day issues. Please accept a big thank you to all your office staff for this fabulous trip.

Jordan & Egypt – February 2009, J.H. SEATTLE WA

Well, do you get emails while your clients are on your tours? We are in the Sinai Desert after finishing up the Egypt tour and you recommended a few days to relax on the Red Sea. In front of us is the most gorgeous Aqua Marine water and without getting in you can see the coral and the multi color fish. Lindsay has not stopped smiling. Lindsay has been asked repeatedly how many camels she will accept for her dowry (marriage proposal) I told her to ask for a Condo! Miss the western world but what a trip this has been. Thank you.

Egypt – January 2009, S.B. Houston TX

The hotels were great. The private cars are the way to go and we enjoyed whipping around different cities in China and Hong Kong. The tours were magnificent and enjoyed them all. Thank you for a great trip.

China – October 2008, D.A. – Detroit MI

Mr. M came in and thanked us for a fantastic trip through Thailand and they enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you.

Thailand – August 2008, S.S. LA JOLLA CA

I did contact Mrs. S and wow she was so impressed with the whole trip. They said you hit a home run with the Banyan Tree in Lijiang. They enjoyed all the properties, this one just stood out in her memory. They loved the Maldives and it was a perfect spot to unwind after China.

MAY 2008 – INDIA

It was no surprise that our trip through India moved with such precision. Your guide made it look effortless. Always at the end of the day on his cell phone lining up the private coaches, the flights and who knows what else. We just showed up and it was so smooth. Every venue was a marvelous adventure. The bus driver was also superb and always smiling. I would have to say I loved India. Jetairways which you recommended business class to me was excellent. That should have told me right away what awaited when we landed. My little private business class on the flights was perfect for the long haul. This flight stops in Brussels for 90 minutes and they met me personally and escorted me to and from the lounge. That was a nice touch.

The trip you organized to Italy for the P and E couples was outstanding and they loved everything. The hotels and guides were great. All the transfers worked perfectly. Imagine coming from us who have been to Italy numerous times. Thank you again.

Italy – August 2007, S.P. NAPLES FL

It was a vacation with total care and consequently pure fun. We were met, escorted I am sure, with the best Costa Rica could offer. None of us wanted more and could not believe our experiences. I must admit I asked for a deluxe carefree vacation in order to experience the country and did not think it would live up to my expectations. Even my husband could not believe how great it was. Thank you for bringing a fantasy we thought we would never experience. The whole family thanks you.

Costa Rica – June 2007, S.B. Los Angeles CA

You are right, this is one magical destination. The guide who escorted us privately for 20 days was a jewel. We began to feel like he was long lost family. The hotels were sheer luxury and the staff took great care of us. Everything went according to schedule and even “V” was patient when we went shopping. Thank you for an excellent and well planned tour.
