Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist:
Good day Sharon,
Yes, we are back from our Honeymoon. We had a wonderful time and Belize was superb. Victoria House was perfect and Chaa Creek was an experience. Although, we LOVED it, we realize that we are more city folks than we thought. We are more than excited about this magical week we spent with some of the most genuine people we've ever met.
Thank you for your help on this...it was a vacation of a lifetime.

Testimonial about Nancy Nicholson, Tahiti, Fiji, Kenya Specialist
Hello Nancy,
Thank you for all of your assistance in planning our honeymoon. Anjali and I had a great time and truly enjoyed our experience in the South Pacific. We were upgraded to an overwater bungalow in Moorea which was a great way to start the vacation. Bora Bora was absolutely amazing! The view of the island from the plane was breathtaking. All of our transfers and documentation were perfect and everything worked out without any hitches.
Thank you again for making our honeymoon worry free and extremely memorable.
Testimonial about Donna Salerno, Europe, exotic tours, and vacation specialist:
Dear Donna....
FYI, the China trip was excellent. Everything ran so smoothly!
China is an amazing country. We really appreciate all your hard work in organizing this for us. You did a wonderful job! We had an idea of what we were going there is see and do, but this was fantastic!
The guides you set up were great (there are not enough superlatives)...getting us into places where we were often the only "gringos" around. It was magical trip for us!
Talk with you soon for the next adventure. Private Client
Testimonial, Europe, exotic tours, luxury cruises and vacation specialist: We had a wonderful time despite the issues. I would definitely recommend this trip to others. Without your help though I don't think it would have been as great. We found ourselves really bummed out a few times and in a panic as well!! Luckily you were always there to take our calls and work things out. Thank you so much. You are the BEST ! Private client

Testimonial: Europe, exotic tours, luxury cruises and vacation specialist:
Dear Richard, We had a great time on the cruise - I would have to say that the highlight was the helicopter ride and landing on the glacier - unbelievable! We had the best weather not a drop of rain and sunshine in all three ports. The only thing that the boys wished they could have done was the zip line in Icy Straight but it was sold out. We also really enjoyed the people we sat with at dinner two English couples and one of their sons who was Emily's age. All in all a great trip, Alex says he want to live in Alaska!! I am off to Dallas with Emily for orientation etc at SMU, it never ends but after that I should have a quiet July. Thanks again for arranging a fantastic trip, it was brilliant (to quote Ian one of the English gentlemen at dinner!) Vicki
Testimonial: Europe, exotic tours, luxury cruises and vacation specialist:
Dear Richard, we can honestly say that this was the most unbelievable vacation we have ever been on. We could not get on the ferry, all sold out so that was are only regret. But everything else made up for it big time. The hotels were unreal and gave us something different in all of them. The transfers were all smooth and kept us on the move but that was good. We ended up contacting our 2nd cousin and had dinner while in Vouglemeni which was so special since we never met. My girls kept asking us if this was real or a dream.and we kept toasting to you Richard...We will be using you again for our next trip in the future and have given out your name already. We all say thank you for all your hard work. I will miss not anticipating and communicating with you. Feel free to send me emails of places of interest.

Testimonial about Donna Salerno, Europe, exotic tours, and vacation specialist:
A month ago today Steve and I were just arriving in Paris . . . Prior to leaving I had various expectations of the trip but never in my wildest imagination could I ever have anticipated the breathtaking moments I would have.
Everyone asks me what my favorite time was and I really cannot choose – every day I went to bed thinking “that day” had to be the best and the next day I felt again that surely “that day” was as good as it could get. Steve says he knows in my heart that my most awesome moment was standing in the Great Theatre in Ephesus when an unknown tourist belted out ‘How Great Thou Art’. He may be right . . . what an awesome moment it was to witness that impromptu performance on the very platform that the Apostle Paul once delivered a sermon.
So, so many wonderful memories. You have no idea what a spectacular time we had – yes, Steve too. I’m not sure I had ever heard him speak the word “awesome” before, but I heard it regularly – including every morning about 5:00 as we pulled into the next port. He is not a morning person, but I don’t think I ever had to wake him on the trip – he was always watching the sun come up. He’s sold on the cruise vacations and talking about where we could go next – I know he’s interested in Spain and more stops in Italy. His alternate plan is to sell the house, cash in my 401(k) and buy an Airstream – ha ha!!
I’m glad that you warned me that things don’t always go as planned and to take it lightly. When I found out the day before our trip that our return flight from New York to Austin had been rescheduled so early that we could not make the flight, I didn’t panic. I told him we would catch it the following day and we spent a night in Rome! And you made it happen!
Yours Truly, Private NameT hanks for ALL your help!

Testimonial about Leslie Bryant, Tahiti, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Belize Specialist
Howdy,
My name is Dr. Kenneth Sacks. I am writing you to give you feedback on an emplouee Leslie Bryant who recently booked a trip for me to Hawaii. This is our second time with Leslie, who also booked a trip to the Cook Islands.
Leslie has been nothing short of stellar in helping us. She is knowledgable about the itineraries and the properties. She is extremely patient, tolerating multiple changes and major shifts in plans. In comparison to my prior travel agents, she is a bona fide gem.
I am a physician in Southern Cal and am giving her name out in our hospital in the hope to increase her boolk of business. Hopefully this is of help.
I thank her again for great and honest help.
Regards, Kenneth Sacks, MD
Testimonial about our Luxury Cruise Specialist
Dear Sir,
Our trip was wonderful! We had a great time (except for the storm on the first night) and lots of sunshine. The ship was beautiful and clean at all times. Being novice travelers we failed to take advantage of all the VIP amenities that were available to us. We enjoyed our large suite but did not realize that our patio door could only be open when we were in port. We got brave and opened it when we were in Glacier Bay. All the other cabins were opened, too so I guess that was OK!
We decided that we prefer meal times more than Freestyle Cruising. It is fun to meet people at dinner and get to know your wait staff. There were only 4 places to eat on "THE PEARL" that did not charge a surcharge. You had to have reservations at the other places and they were often booked up. Also there was only one dining area that was open 24 hours and it did not have comfort foods (like pizza, burgers, French fries, ice cream, sandwiches, etc.) that you sometimes get a craving for late at night or mid-afternoon. It was actually quite small considering the number of people on the cruise.
The shows were excellent and we had lots of free time to just explore. We didn't see any whales or wildlife on this trip. If we go back to Alaska some day, we will definitely choose different shore excursions. Thank you for all your help and for staying in touch. We think you were super. Next time I will keep the room you selected for us.
Best Wishes,
John and Sharon Hyde"
Testimonial about Mike St. Jovite, Dubai, Maldives, Seychelles, Tahiti Specialist
Michael,
It was perfect. Thank you again for your work on this. I'll comment in more detail in a subsequent email. Needless to say, the vacation was fantastic but we are nicely tried and need to catch up on life here. I also can tell you any details about the places we stayed so that you can add this to your database of knowledge.
The one thing that stands out is that logistically EVERYTHING went seamlessly. No problems, no hassles, nothing unexpected and that is amazing for a vacation of this complexity and length. And that's a testament to good and knowledgeable planning from a great travel consultant :) Queensland, Australia also has thier act together as far as tourism is concerned. Very impressive.
We got good airplane seats for all our flights, all the various transports from hotels to the airport went like clockwork, the resorts and hotels were first rate.
The Bora Bora Nui is a fantastic resort and is the envy of Bora Bora. The overwater bungalow 1 - 8 were not available due to current work enhancements (i.e. putting in a hot tub in one of them), but the resort director put us in another upgraded bungalow (free upgrade by the way) which had an unobstructed horizon view which directly faced the sunset (lounging on the back deck, we saw a perfect sunset at the end of every day). I forget the exact bungalow number but I remember it when referencing the resort map (part of the details that I can tell you in a subsequent email). Also, with the 1 - 8 bungalows, the back deck got the morning sun and not the midday/evening sun whereas the one we were assigned got the midday/evening sun and a perfect view of the sunset. Also our bungalow was in the quiet, secluded spot, perfect for honeymooners. The coral under and near our bungalow was better and therefore there were more fish at our bungalow too and the water is shallower and calmer. The resort director considered all this when assigning us this unit. Very considerate, very nice. But now I am getting into details. Needless to say, we felt very taken cared for by the resort personel.
Thanks, Adam
Bula Michael,
Thank you for the welcome home email. it was so nice to be on "fiji time" but it's just been hectic since we returned. i wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much we loved the trip to matamanoa. it was the perfect honeymoon. we took advantage of all the different activities... went snorkeling, kayaked around the island, fishing, hiked to the top of the island, ate a ton of food, visited a nearby fijian village, went scuba diving for the first time, also sat around and read books, and learned to sail a catamaran. the people were so nice (fijians as well as other tourists)... we met a few people who had been to fiji a number of times and they all said matamanoa was their favorite island by far. the boat transfer there and helicopter back was a great idea. besides the bugs, the rooms were beautiful. thank you for all your help and suggestions. do you only specialize in the south pacific? i don't know when we'll have time to travel that far anytime soon but we will definitely keep you in mind when planning our next trip.
Best wishes,noel & terry
Hi Mike
Room #31 was just fine as it had a view to the lagoon and the occasional breeze [being on the 2nd floor] - bungalow #109 was perfect too. We had a wonderful time and all of the connections were made with ease.
Thank you again, Doug

Hello Jenni,
Our trip was great. The Hotels you selected in Key Largo and Key West were both excellent...
We do plan on going back to Key West this year. I will contact you when we know the dates. Over all your service was great. Thank you for your time and expertise in planning our trip.
Thank You Ken & Maria
Testimonial to Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist:
Sharon, thank you so much. We had a fabulous trip to Italy - and may we say, the tour you planned for us (Ancient Rome) was absolutely wonderful. We had a guide by the name of Paulo who was so knowledgeable and told us so much about the Coliseum and Forum area. We would recommend him to anyone as a guide. He was outstanding.
The hotel Regina Baglioni was wonderful. The staff at the front desk and the concierges were top notch. They arranged several things for us and all of them were great. They were caring, courteous and friendly and met our every need.
We met several people from Chicago while in Rome and it was fun comparing notes.
Thanks again ,

Testimonial : Australia, New Zealand, Asia South Pacific Specialist:
Hi Corrina, Well, back and settled in. Our trip was wonderful, you covered all the bases for us in top fashion. All our hotel, bure accommodations were much better than expected. Our hotel in Queenstown was upgraded to a suite and it was fabulous. Hats off to you on all our hotels etc. So, my next question, what would you recommend for another trip. Whatever we do, I would be planning on having you arrange everything once again. As I said, you did a wonderful job for us. Lost my vouchers in Franz Joseph but contact information you had supplied in our package solved any problems we may have had.
Thanks again for an absolutely flawless and wonderful vacation. Look forward to having you plan more for us in the future.

Testimonial to Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist:
Dear Sharon, All went perfectly. Your planning was on-time in every detail. Both hotels (Morgan and Thistle) are about right for upper middle class folks like us. So every day we pretended to be high class by having "Afternoon Tea" at places like the Shelbourne in Dublin and the Balmoral in Edinburgh.
Thanks David
Testimonial to Nancy Nicholson South Pacfic, Kenya Vacation and Tour Specialist:
Thanks Nancy, I will not forget your kindness and patience. You are a great lady and a terrific travel agent. You have been always happy to met our requests, and promptly too! So thanks for the time and the emails too. You have made looking forward and planning this trip so wonderful, perhaps planning is more fun even the trip itself, if that is possible.
If you are ever in southern California, please let me know. We would love to take you to dinner.
Sincerely,
Alan
P.S. Please pass this along to your agency.

Michael,
Thank you. It was an amazing vacation. I could not even have imagined how beautiful it would have been. The people were great and really catered to the visitors of their resort. The over water bungalow was fabulous we had the bungalow furthest out in the water. We did alot of the activities ie: swimming with the sharks and rays, the safari and much more.
Thanks again for putting together a vacation that neither me or my husband will ever forget!!!

Testimonial about Diane Costa, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean Vacation Specialist Hello
I planed my vacation to Maui with Diane Costa and I would like to tell you how wonderful she was. My vacation was a fantastic trip and a memorable vacation--- and I can't forget unforgetable. My now wife Meci, must have called Diane everyday. Diane was always excited to talk to her, even if she called after hours. The hotel, we loved it, the Fairmont Kea Lani. My wife and I walked in to the room and it felt like we were looking in a magazine, Diane had also left us a gift basket. The room was so beautiful, and the view was breathtaking. I was reluctant to chose this hotel because of the price, but Diane and my wife persuaded me to do it--- and it was so worth it.
We had the best activates you could ever ask for. We went snorkeling in Molokini. That was the best thing we had ever done, it was like being inside of a giant aquarium. The water was so clear you could see the bottom. The fish were so colorful. The boat we were on was the Four Winds II, our captain was Captain John and he was great. I won a t-shirt on board. We also went on a dinner cruise, the food was terrific and the drinks great. The sunset sail was something for us to remember. We took our daughter on a Submarine ride that was really exciting. And I can't forget to mention my wedding. Diane didn't plan my wedding but she was a huge part of it. We had 10 people in our group and one child. Every day my daughter asked if we could go back to Hawaii. She's just 3 she can't quite say Hawaii yet.
We got to Maui in February 12 and the family left on February 16. We needed some time to our self so we came back to Texas on February 21th. I just wanted to stop and say how great Diane Costa was--- you can always find a travel agent, but finding a travel that you like is great, and Diane is great. We had planed another trip with her, a Cruises, but we just found out my wife is expecting a child. I 'm really excited because it is my first biological child. I can't wait to plan another vacation in the near future. Thank you so much Diane you were great, Meci and I both really appreciate what you did for me and all of our other family members.
Thank you-- Travel Wizard member for life.

Testimonial about Linda Barber, Hawaii, Alaska, Exotic Vacation Specialist spirits. You will be pleased to know that we felt we not just a good trip, but an outstanding one, both in Quito and in the Galapagos. The tour in Galapagos was especially good
Dear Linda, 70th Birthday Celebration!
We loved our Hawaiian vacation !!!!!
All the arrangements worked out great. We loved the Hilton Waikoloa Village, the Hotel grounds are very beautiful, the Lagoon tower was really convenient to the swimming pools and all the other options. We were really impressed with the caves and the waterfalls. I would have liked a brighter Bathroom, the lighting was not very good, but it was functional and there was a place for everything. All in all it was an amazing experience. The breakfast in both Hotels was wonderful, and quite a saving at having it included in the room price.
The best on the Big Island was the Helicopter tour, what an experience, so glad we did not cancel.
The dinner cruises were both very good, the food was excellent on both.
Also the Luau in Lahaina was fantastic, the show was wonderful, the food was good. I was a little disappointed in the pork, it was stringy and dry, but plenty to drink, and the staff was great.
What can I say about the Fairmont, except it exceeded our expectations !!! What a wonderful Hotel, we did not want to leave.
Thank you for arranging all those extras, the basket with Macadamia nuts,sodas,juice,popcorn and cookies was great, as was the bottle of Korbel and a Hawaiian Gold Pinapple,with Happy Birthday wishes. All in all it made me feel very special.
Thank you Linda, and if we are ever planning an other big vacation, I will certanly contact you. Will also recommend the services of the Travel Wizard to our friends.
Best regards,
Sylvia and Falko
Testimonial to Viviana Gaeta our South America and Galapagos Islands Specialist:
Viviana: Just a note to say that we have returned both in good form and good spirits. You will be pleased to know that we felt we had not just a good trip, but an outstanding one, both in Quito and in the Galapagos. The tour in Galapagos was especially good with good boating facilities, good food, and especially a really fine tour guide. We should be not far away should you have any specific questions, we should be around for the next two weeks or so! With our thanks, and best wishes, Mike
PS: If you haven't heard from Fred, I have the feeling you might get a similarly enthusiastic report from him! od boating facilities, good food, and especially a really fine tour guide. We should be not far away should you have any specific questions, we should
