Dear Lidia, We had the very best trip ever. We had such a great time. Everything went perfectly including the weather.

Eric Testimonials about Sarah Baughm Europe vacation specialist: Turkey, Greece & France
You did such a wonderful job of planning our trip,including the hotels, guides, airfare and suggestions on activities. I hope to use your expertise again soon. I'm assuming that our credit for the cancelled flight and cancelled hotel in Testimonials about Lidia Fiendeiro, Italy, Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii specialist: England, London
Hi Lidia:
The trip was wonderful! Loved the Ritz London. They offered us an upgrade to a beautiful two-room suite for 200BP a night, so we took it. The room overlooked the park, which was next to Buckingham Palace.
Breakfast for the four of us was included -- which was great, because food was very expensive. Service was exactly what you would expect at the Ritz -- everyone was pleasant, room was well kept, etc. We did the afternoon tea -- very nice and expensive, but an experience to do once. The kids didn't really like the British food, so we ate a lot of Italian in the evening!
The hotel keeps a new Rolls Royce Phantom, which we hired for a two-hour sightseeing jaunt around town. Took us to Abbey Road, and around some of the side streets -- pointing out interesting facts that you wouldn't get from a guidebook. The driver had tales of driving President Clinton and other celebrities around town.
Couldn't have asked for a better location. We were able to walk just about everywhere...and we took in many of the sights. I had put together a schedule that didn't jam pack the days, and allowed for rest, sitting in the parks, etc. We ended up taking a taxi rather than the underground the two times we needed to go a greater distance because the cost was pretty equivalent.
We've got to download the pics, and will send you an interesting one or two. Thank you again for arranging such a wonderful trip for us!

Dear Linda, We had the most enjoyable trip ever! Our drivers shared a wealth of information about all the places we visited and were very professional, particularly our driver in We enjoyed having a private driver instead of being “herded” around Sincerely, Sandra Blair PS.

All of the flights were just as planned and you found us some of the best seats on the plane! Staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in We will want to do another river cruise in the future.

The care and detail to every part of our trip was a tribute to how well you do your job. I hesitate to call it a job, it’s more of a gift you have. On a scale of 1-10, I would give you a 15!

Many Blessings to you and your Little Guy Randy and Sherri Ansley Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Europe, Exotic Vacations and Tours Specialist: Croatia Hi, Sharon,
Croatia was amazing!!
We are now in our favorite spot in the whole world, Ischia. The rainstorm this afternoon was the first we've ever had here in 10 years! You outdid yourself, Sharon, with our trip. Maryann and co. were fantastic, checking on us every step of the way and sending us wonderful guides and drivers. The best part was that the guides were all local and spoke English beautifully - they really loved their country! Our only suggestion is perhaps not to keep changing the time of pickup ( 3 times), although we know it was at the request of the driver that it happened. We will head back to Trieste on Sat. Definitely a trip worth recommending - thanks for everything! PC!! PC

Hi Lidia,
Thanks for asking.. sorry for replying so late! we really enjoyed staying at the Marriott Champs Elsyees, and we are so happy for your high quality satisfying services! thanks again for everything you helped us with in this trip :) regards Reema Al-Ajlan Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Europe, Exotic Vacations and Tours Specialist: Amsterdam, Prague, Vienna
Hi Sharon- We are back home from our AMAZING trip to The day you got on the line after my calling the central office number for Travel Wizard, will be a day that I will forever gratefully remember. Planning and preparing for a trip to exciting but yet so stressful, as I knew I would be stretching my personal comfort zone for such a venture. However, with you in control, leading and steering me, you had me prepared, and your itinerary was completed with not one… again, absolutely not one glitch. I can say with total conviction, you are amazingly gifted in your profession, detailed orientated, and so efficient. Personally, you are patient, kind, encouraging, thoughtful and generous. Although I had never been to Europe, I am blessed to say I have had many opportunities to travel throughout the Untied States, Canada, Alaska and the Caribbean, but not one of those prior trips can compare to the itinerary you planned, the hotels you chose (thank you again for the amazing upgrades!), the tours you choose, and choice of days per location. There is absolutely nothing you didn’t do on your part to help make this trip a dream of a lifetime, and it was. May I please ask you for a mailing address my wife and I could use to send you a personal thank you? I also wanted to include a photo so you could see two faces of two people whose lives you have forever touched. Sincerely and gratefully. Ted Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Europe, Exotic Vacations and Tours Specialist: Europe
Sharon...you have been a blessing this entire time, and now when you don't
even have to be planning, you still are. I am very grateful for all that you have done for me and continue to still do. Thank you. Ted Testimonials about Carol Jaxheimer, Luxury Cruises, Caribbean, Egypt, Morocco vacation specialist: Italy, Lake Como, Positano
Hi Carol, WE had a wonderful vacation! Both Lake Como and Positano were just
beautiful. We had great weather--not one rainy or cloudy day, although it was certainly warm. Both hotels, although different, were just beautiful. The views and surroundings just can't be captured with a picture. We took several boat rides and one van tour in Positano. We rented the Il San Pietro's boat for a day and went to Capri and toured and swam along the Amalfi coast. I would highly recommend both of the hotels to anyone and everyone.
Some of the staff at the Il San Pietro were a bit "aloof", but others were extremely friendly. Everyone at the Tremezzo Palace was very friendly and helpful. We did have Cindy and Barry's wedding dinner at Le Sireneuse, and that
was also wonderful, but I don't think you can beat Il San Pietro with both a pool and a private beach. We've decided we're going again for Barry and Cindy's 5th Anniversary.
We'll have to start "saving" now--and hope the Euro exchange gets a whole lot better! Thanks for all your help. I can truly say it was a "vacation of a
lifetime"! Mary Jane
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Tahiti, Mexico vacation specialist: Ireland, England, London
Patricia, Thanks for the email! We had a wonderful trip!! We are all very tired and trying to rest up before going back to work. Everything went well. We saw a ton of stuff while we were out there maybe a little to much. I think we need to schedule some down days next time we take a trip like this. Testimonial: Eastern Europe, Exotic Tours & Luxury Cruise Specialist : Danube River Cruise

Dear Sharon,
We returned from a superb luxury adventure in Croatia,
You planned it to perfection and our driver/guide Joseph was fantastic.
The family really loved the hotels you chose and the Villa Argentina in Dubrovnik was simply lovely.
Thank you for your time and effort in planning this trip.

As it always happens after a long vacation, things piled up and I was sitting here sifting through emails for 3 days. Our drive to But all in all, I enjoyed the trip very much. Checking in with the documents you provided was a breeze, no problem at all. Getting the car and returning the car took no longer than 15 minutes. Everything worked out perfectly and we really enjoyed ourselves. If there was anything I'd do differently, I'd book a directly flight and pick less places to go (we went through 6 places in 10 days). We were so exhausted by the end of the trip, we only went to the coloseeum in I'm glad I booked the trip through you; I could have never done this on my own. Throughout the trip I felt very safe knowing that there is a # I could call to contact someone if I had a problem. Our first experience in Thank you so much Diane! We truly appreciate your effort. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Stephanie and Henry Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Europe, Exotic Vacations and Tours Specialist: Sharon, Ted
Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, New Zealand and Tours Specialist: Mom and I had a wonderful time in Ireland!! Thanks for checking in. My head has been spinning since I got back trying to settle into my new home (I feel like the unpacking will never end) and right back to the work grind. The Hayfield Manor was beautiful and the service impeccable. Unfortunately one night we had no heat though and woke up at 2 am freezing and had to have the night manager bring in a space heater. Oh well, but breakfast the next morning was yummy!! And we loved the pool, jacuzzi and spa! We drove the Ring of Kerry but didn't kiss the Blarney Stone. We actually forgot all about it -- oops! Our time along the ocean in Dingle Bay was wonderful too and we got some amazing photos. Hertz ended up not having an automatic car and I had to use a manual shift while driving on the left side of the road with the steering wheel on the right side of the car. I told the Hertz man he didn't know what he was inflicting on his fellow countrymen! Getting out of Cork was interesting as a result of the manual car, but we laughed about it! But the Irish are crazy drivers anyway! My left elbow got sore from all the shifting but I learned fast and became quite the whiz at it, and started to eventually love it. But I think our favorite was the Currarevagh House in Oughterard, County Galway. An amazing old manor house from 1840 that could use a little interior decor update, but the family that ran it was fabulous and the home-made breakfasts and dinners they made every night were just amazing -- things like duck a l'orange, fois gras, fresh fish from Lake Corrib and beautiful vegatables that were not to be had anywhere else in Ireland!!
I'm not sure the Irish really understand what fresh vegatables are. But the best were the desserts: baked alaska, chocolate mouse cake, lemon mouse cake w/ fresh blueberries.... I could go on and on!!! We also did a little ancestry hunt and had fun doing so, but in the end hit a dead end. The Irish have great geneological societies established in each county and they plan to have them all on-line within the next year. So hopefully we can find out more concrete info here at home and then check again with the parish records in Ireland thru the geneological societies on-line. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work in pulling this together for us. It was a vacation we both needed and we really enjoyed living it
up!!! It was a very special mum and daughter trip -- a trip of a lifetime. Thank you!! Here are a few pictures... -Regina.
Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist: Hey Sharon,
We are home & had a fantastic time.
I have to say that the Vatican tour was fantastic. The wine & food experience in Chianti was soo much fun too. The car rental was Mr. toad's wild ride so we drove to Pisa too and I have many many pictures. The tour in Venice we changed up and had him take us on a walking/boat taxi tour around Veniza and completely enjoyed our guide. He was from Chile and was a bit hard to understand, but a very nice man and showed us the 'inside' of Venice. I'll send you but a few of the MANY pictures we took. I have to say
that the trip home was tough. JFK airport is an absolute zoo and if we can avoid it next time that would be great. (1 hr on the runway waiting to take off....) 50 planes at least in front of us.... After a 1+ hr delay for a mechanical issue...) we got to Seattle at 2am..... And on a plane for Spokane at 10 the next morning. We figure we got 4 or so hrs. in 36.... But we are back on track, sharing pictures and have some great memories. We bought wine at the Castillo de Verazzanno and can't wait. Chianti
Reserva! Sooooo good! It truly was a trip of a lifetime.
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you - Thank you - Thank you - Thank you -

Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist:
Thanks Sharon, We had a great time in Italy. You did a wonderful job with the
accommodations! We took you advice and took a train to Naples, then a ferry to Capri.
What a beautiful place. We went to the information booth and they called a couple of hotels and got us into a nice three star hotel (which seemed more like a four star) for 160 euros. It overlooked the Mediterranean with a gorgeous view. The next morning we tried to get on a boat tour around the island, but
just missed the boat. Luckily, another boat company gave Cindy and me a private two-hour boat ride around the island. That was the best 100 euros we spent. He took us into all of the grottos with the beautiful bright blue sea. We have such great memories.
Thanks again, Dan and Cindy
Bona Sera! Sharon we are having a wonderful time! Tonite we are in Firenze.
Let me start with Como - simply THE most romantic place we've been (other than Bora Bora)... the Villa de Este' is beautiful & romantic & spacious rooms & great food & romantic & great sight seeing & did I say romantic? When you send your next clients there - highly suggest the private boat ride to Bellagio.... expensive... but very very worth it! I will just tell you that for dinner one nite we had champagne & strawberries on the veranda...... The train was delayed via train from Como to Milan- thus missed the connection from Milan to Venzia - however, we got the next train 30 minutes later but missed our pickup.. but caught a water taxi to Hotel Luna Baglioni ... also, the company that was to pick us up from Baglioni to the train did not have us so we had to water taxi from there ourselves...$115 euro for both ways... so you might check with them for a refund.... a n y w a y Venice was so much fun. We saw everything & walked till our feet hurt up to our ears! For the tour to Murano & Burano...... we changed our mind & convinced the guide to take us on a tour of Venice.. He was fantastic! He took us to his home area & to his normal cafe's & to a most beautiful church & gave us a very good 'walking-water tour' & dropped us off at a museeà across town where we walked & ate & drank & went into more churches on our way back to the hotel. Luna Baglioni was a cruise ship size room (small) so we barely unpacked, however the staff was excellent and the resturant-bar downstairs were great. The entertainment guitar-piano guy was superb and all the staff was extremely nice. The train to Firenze was a nice ride & we picked up the car at the airport - thank the Good Lord for tomtom navigation that speaks English! The Wine & Food experience at Villa de Verazanno was soooooo much fun and very informative.... we arrived a bit late due to being lost & our nav system didnàt have it in there, but they were very gracious and we caught our group nearly at the beginning.... a very nice tour, very fun and informative - the lunch provided was superb and very Italian with lots of wine and most beautiful scenery!! Today we drove to Firenze - may I say that my American husband drives very well with these c r a z y Italians!! the scooters are kamikazes and nobody signals or waits for anyone else on any road and merge nicely?? ha! Ralph was in his element..... We saw the Duomo & San Lorenzo's & several others - however the Uffizi was booked till Friday..... so! thatàs where we are so far....VERY smooth wine Chianti Reserva..... will arrive home in 4 or 5 weeks...... Tomorrow we'll make that up as we get there.... Ciao Marià & Rafael Testimonials about Donna Salerno, Europe, exotic tours, and vacation specialist: We are back and the arrangements you put together for Europe was great. Your reservations were seamless from the time we left until we returned last night.
All of the hotels were wonderful. We enjoyed the hotel in Salzburg the best -our room had a balcony that overlooked the river. Our visit to Dachau outside of Munich and the Sound of Music tour in Salzberg were the most memorable experiences for different reasons. Innsbruck was by far the prettiest city I have ever seen. Our only other experience with European travel was a Mediterranean cruise so we were a little intimidated. However, your arrangements made it easy to navigate. Thanks again for all your help; deciding on where to go next. We'll talk soon.

Testimonial about our Europe, Italy Specialist
I want to let you know that I received the travel documents/pkg today. I am very impressed with the document case and the way you set up the itinerary etc. Never have seen such attention to detail for a customer. I need something like that for my travels. Sure wish I was able to also go on this trip. I know that my sisters will have a great time. Thanks for all care in making this trip a reality. Mike Testimonial about Joan Smith, Luxury Cruise Specialist Hi Joan, So nice to hear from you! I keep meaning to e-mail you a note and then you beat me to it - oh well. We had a wonderful time. The ship was gorgeous and the ports were beautiful. Thanks for ordering the sunshine for us - we got very toasted! We really apprecited all the time and effort that you put into getting everyones questions answered etc... Our rooms were so close together - and the 10th floor was a great location. If you have anywhere where I can sing your praises to your company let me know because I do that often for nice people, doing their jobs and still enjoying it. The best thing about the cruise was, everyone was healthy and stayed that way, we all celebrated something special and even though another one of us is dealing with a crisis, we all managed to enjoy each other and we all came back still friends. Thanks again for your help and we look foward to a future vacation planning together! -- Best Regards, Colleen Saufley
