An email to their travel agent about their recent trip to Italy:
“Our trip was fabulous! Everything fell into place beautifully and we were very happy that everything was pre -booked. Service was great in all the hotels. The tour guides were very informative. All the drivers were on time and everything went according to schedule. Italy itself was such a great experience and the country is stunning……so much history. We learned a lot. The hotels were all perfect. All the hotels were very accommodating with anything that we asked for. They helped us in each city and provided maps of the local attractions and areas of interest. They suggested where to eat, where to go etc. The people in Italy are so passionate about their country and are very proud of it. It came across in the services that they provided us and in how they all welcomed us and took care of us. We could never have done this trip on our own without the help of your services. We ran into so many people upon our travels that couldn’t believe all the sights and places that we had been to in such a short time span. Thank you so much, we have so many great memories that we will cherish and so many beautiful pictures.”
