Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, USA, Tahiti, Fiji, Exotic Specialist: California, Wine Country

Dear Leslie,

We had an incredible time in Napa and really enjoyed both places and glad we went to both Calistoga Ranch and Auberge. We loved our rooms and the views we had and the pool was amazing.

We loved hiking at the Ranch and the food was fantastic. We would eat there again for sure. We enjoyed the Mercedes vehicles at both places. We ate at Redd, Martini House, The Farm, Auberge, The Lakehouse and Bouchon. All were great ! We had such an incredible time, I just can't tell you.

Thank you so much for your help !

Testimonial about Linda Barber, Alaska, Egypt, China,Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii Specialist: Alaska

Dear Linda,

Thank you for making our dream vacation to Alaska possible! Especially when we were told by a local travel agency that Alaska was sold out. We don’t know how you managed to get the job done, but we really appreciate your hard work and dedication. The days of preparation and organization were flawless. You kept us in touch all along the way. The whole 14 days of our trip were without incident, and wonderful. We were able to relax and enjoy the beauty of Alaska and our time together. We will certainly tell our friends about you and your company. We look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again,   Brian & Lizz Helton , John & Pat McKittrick

Testimonial about Lidia Fiandeiro---Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii Specialist: California, San Diego, Paradise Pointe

Lidia,

As always, you set up the best vacation for us! We had a great time! San Diego was the perfect place to take our family and Paradise Pointe was beautiful and very relaxing. We thank you again for your services and will always recommend you to our family and friends!

Because you are so wonderful, we wanted to ask about traveling to Mexico. We are thinking of going to Mexico with our friends for the last week in February. It will be just an adult trip. Can you provide some information and suggestions to us? There will probably be 4 couples going.

Thank You Again!!

Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist: Utah, Moab, Canyon Rafting

Dear Sharon,

Just wanted to send you an update on our trip to Moab, it was an amazing experience and we both had a really nice time. The Canyon Rafting was really exciting and the scenery outstanding, the rock climbing was spectacular. We got to do some off road adventure in our Jeep also. It was a super experience and it is a good possiblity that we might do it again next year.. Overall - two thumbs up from Matt and I.

It looks like Mexico is a good possibility this year, I will keep you posted.

Thanks again for making this a great father and son bonding experience.

Testimonials about Carson Watson, Master Cruise Specialist: Alaska, American Safari Adventure Cruise

Hi Carson

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for all you did with respect to my family's trip to Alaska. The ship, the crew the entire experience was mind blowing. We enjoyed every minute of it and would not think twice about another trip with the same group. The food the service, I cannot say enough thank you for all you and the American Safari team did.

Sarah Buckley

Testimonial about Melanie Valuck--- Alaska, Hawaii Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii Specialist: Alaska

Dear Melanie,

I'm back now (although I wish I was still gone!) and I just wanted to thank
you for planning what has turned out to be the best vacation of my life. I
enjoyed myself throughout, on every train / boat / bus and dogsled ride.
Even the planes all ran on time! The weather was gorgeous, even in areas
known for constant rain (I'm told it HAILED in NJ the day I left). The
travel itinerary ran smoothly, and transfers between trains and hotels and
side trips all went off as planned. The lodging arrangements for the most
part met or exceeded my expectations, although for future bookings I would
suggest selecting a different hotel in Fairbanks (more centrally located,
with a higher standard of service and amenities found at other area
hotels).

I was very pleased with the level of service at TravelWizard.com and would
definitely consider booking future vacations with you!

Thanks,

Sara

Testimonials about Paul Breen, Domestic, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean, Domestic Specialist: Nevada, Las Vegas

Paul,

Just returned from Vegas and had a great time. Wish I could say I came back

with more money than I went with but that's not the case. . . guess that's

how Vegas goes sometimes. The restaurants were great, Delmonico's and Prime

. . . . Michael Mina was privately booked. Also highly recommend the Harley

Davidson restaurant, for a lower scale dining it was great, try the BBQ

Brisket sandwich !

Everything went as planned had no issues with reservations or flights to and

from. Thanks for all your help.

Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist: Florida, Palm Beach. Ritz Carlton

Dear Sharon,

It seems already a long time ago, since I'am currently travelling for business in Asia.............but with good memories of our Florida holiday at the Ritz Carlton Palm Beach.

Rooms were very good, while the daily credit system worked perfect. (if you would be able to extend/upgrade the daily credits for our July visit to California that would be really wonderful !!)

Thanks again for arranging again another top-holiday.

Best regards

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, USA, Tahiti, Fiji, Exotic Specialist: California, Wine Country

Hi Leslie ~
We had a fabulous time in San Francisco and Sonoma. The entire trip was outstanding. The Fairmont Heritage Place in San Francisco was awesome and was a great deal - I would certainly stay again and recommend it to anyone! The residence was outstanding, great views, well appointed etc - 3 flat screen TV's with direct tv satellite, fireplace, washer, dryer etc but the amenities were equally as good -- daily continental breakfast, evening wine and cheese hour, a house car - Mazzarati which would drive you and pick up anywhere in a 2 mile radius and a great location. We also had lunch at the Cavallo Point property in Sausalito you talked about. That was great too. The wine country was fun and The Lodge at Sonoma was good as well. All in all a wonderful trip. Thanks for everything.

Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist: New York, New York City, Palace Hotel

Dear Sharon

WE LOVED the Palace Hotel New York.

The room was great. Our view was of St. Patrick’s cathedral. We could see the tree and the skating rink as well from the room. Very friendly staff. I didn’t tell her where we were going, and told her I would pack her bag. I went Friday morning and bought her that dress you saw, plus shoes a bag and some items to wear underneath as well. Janet got off work early. We left her house at 2 and were in our suite by 4:30. I packed a bag of hiking boots, gloves, long johns and gloves so we could go for a walk that night. We went to Rockefeller plaza. Than up 5^th avenue and window shopped. Ended up at the park and took a carriage ride. Our bellhop at the palace gave us a name to drop at the Plaza Hotel to get a free car ride back to the Palace from Central Park but we were having too much fun and walked the 10 blocks back to the Palace. We got back to the Palace around 8ish and just grabbed a quick bite at the Bistro Bar.

Got up Saturday at 9:30 to “in room” breakfast. Took another walk around the City. “In-room” lunch @ 2. Massages @ 3. Nap. Daniel @ 8.

I had my concerns about Daniel being a “snooty” French restaurant, but I am happy to say I was wrong. Daniel came to our table for a minute and introduced himself. We ordered a three course dinner and 9 courses later (3 hours) they rolled us out of there. They kept bringing us complimentary things to try. (we didn’t want to be rude…)

In room breakfast early Sunday and back home for Janet to get her kids at 10:30am.

It was just what the Dr. ordered!

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR MAKING ME LOOK GOOD.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, USA, Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico Specialist: New York

Hi Patricia,

Everything went great! We saw a lot of places and got a lot done. We both really liked New York and would have loved to stay longer, if we could. Unfortunately, I caught a virus on the plane back and was sick all of the next week, but am feeling much better now. I guess that is one of the hazards of flying, right?

Thank you again for all of your help with making the arrangements for us!

Testimonial to Viviana Gaeta our South America, Galapagos Islands, and Cruise Specialist: Yellowstone National Park

Dear Viviana,

We had a lovely birthday trip. Yellowstone is fantastic and so is Jackson Hole. We took in all of Yellowstone in 3 days so we cut out one night and added it to Jackson Hole which left us with a very relaxing time there. The Amangani is very special and we had a lovely birthday dinner on our patio. It turned cold on Thrus, Fri and Sat, but fortunately the weather warmed up just in time for Ernie's b-day on Sunday. Thanks for everything.

Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations, and Tours Specialist: Monterey, Monterey Plaza Hotel

Sharon, thanks so much, we are home from Monterey Bay. The weather was great and the Monterey Plaza Hotel was
beautiful, we had a super view of the ocean from our room and watched the otters and seals while we had coffee outside in the mornings. It was great to be walking distance from the Monterey Aquarium as we went there a couple of times.

The restaurants you recommended were really good, and in fact we are going to go back for our sons graduation.

Thanks so much for putting this trip together, Monterey is a super place to bring the kids,

Hi, Lidia,

We had a great time in San Francisco at the Grand Hyatt Union Square!

It didn't stop us from doing anything - we just layered the summer clothes we brought!
Thank you again for helping us to plan and have a great trip.

Take care,

Testimonial about Melanie Valuck---Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii Specialist: Western Canada Tour

Hi Melanie,

Di and I want to take the opportunity to thank you for guiding us through the Grand Western Canada vacation trip. Since day 1 you have taken the time and interest to help us with our trip. You always made sure to return phone messages as well as give us information to help our trip to go smoothly.

While on the trip I talked with many others about how great you were with the arrangements! Most of all I felt very comfortable to have your business card in my wallet during the entire trip. You and your company aim to please and we will be using your services in the near future.

Then to top everything off, your company sent us a welcome home card. I feel that you are like family. Melanie, I hope your company appreciates the dedication that you put into your job. Your warm personality puts the icing on the cake. We feel very lucky to have found you and Travel Wizard. Keep up the great job and thanks for being special!

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, USA, Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico Specialist: Alaska

Hi Patricia, My Parents had the best time! I knew they would. My Dad especially loved the fact he could eat any time of day! lol

The only thing they wanted me to let you know is to tell people to take heavy coats. They said it was never over 55 degrees all week. Nevertheless, they met lots of fun people and explored all sorts of great places. Thank you again for all your help. This trip would not have been as special for them or as easy for me without you!

Take care!

Linda
P.S. I am still going to Greece someday so I will be calling you for assistance for sure. : )

Testimonials about Leslie Bryant, USA, Tahiti, Fiji, Exotic Specialist: Montana, Paws Up Lodge

Hi Leslie,

Paws Up was a great setting.   Food, staff, accommodations, activities, on and on, fabulous. Tent city is a must! My wife and kids really enjoyed. Would go again in the fall when fishing is a little more predictable with mother nature.

Thanks Leslie for this one of a kind trip.

Testimonials about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean, Domestic Specialist: Lousiana, New Orleans
Hi Paul,

Thank you for following up. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in New Orleans! What a fantastic city with a rich and eclectic history and cultures! My stay at the Ritz-Carlton was great. There were a few mishaps but the staff was impeccably polite and helpful.

I did not take the Oakley Plantation tour because my kids were a bit difficult. However, we replace the plantation tour with the swamp tour. The kids loved it and we had a good time. The kids got to see live alligators in their habitat!

The City Super Tour was terrific. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

The flight back was not the best because of the delay. My kids were irritable and cranky most of the flight.

Thanks again for a wonderful trip.

Testimonials about Jenni Malone, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Specialist Disney World

Hi Jenni!

It was fabulous! We had so much fun and truly took advantage of the
passes/park hopper option.

Full park days with 3 kids - solo - was exhausting, but I wouldn't change a
thing. We bonded as a family. The kids were so into it.

I really liked our resort. Great pool for the kids and it had a slide.
Riverside was much better than the French Quarter in case you were curious.
The slide was steeper and seemed to have more of a party atmosphere than
the French Qtr. Our room was in the Alligator Bayou which provided a pull
out trundle in case we needed it. Although, we went with the crib just to
confine Blake at night :). Also, the rooms along the river looked
beautiful and made for a nice walk at night by myself when I needed to
escape!

The shuttle transportation to and from the parks worked really well for us.

I would recommend Animal Kingdom Safari and Expedition Everest - 2 great
rides.

Also the fountain at Epcot outside the TestTrack ride provided an hour of
play time for Blake and Ryan as Kyle enjoyed the fast ride by himself!

Thanks so much for your assistance!!

Two Testimonials about Carson Watson, Luxury Cruise Specialist

We had a wonderful trip, Carson, and you arranged everything beautifully for us, especially when we thought our trip was doomed. You are an efficient problem solver and very easy to work with. You saved our trip. Thank you so very much.

Sharon,
It was a most amazing time. The hotel Macarthur Place was wonderful, the food delicious, and the wine to die for. I don't think it could have been any better. Allyson and I will certainly be going back to Sonoma in the future, and I thank you so much for finding us a great place. It was a perfect romantic weekend getaway. Allyson loved the area, hotel, food, wine, etc. It also happens that there
was an art and craft festival downtown at the square and it was magnificent as well. Again, thank you so much for helping me out at the last minute. We will be sure to book with you again when we return to Sonoma.

Sincerely,
Josh

Testimonials about Richard Engle, Europe, exotic tours, luxury cruises and vacation specialist:

We had a great time. All of the plans in San Francisco were well worth it. I think the kids liked Alcatraz the best. We also spent a day in the Haight Ashbury section which they really enjoyed. Muir Woods was amazing and then being at the beach at the end was perfect. Big Sur was also great. I would definitely stay at the White Swan on our next stay. We look froward to the delicious breakfast every morning. I could not believe all of the choices. And we enjoyed chattting about our day and planning our evening at wine and cheese time. The rooms were very comfortable, location great, and the elevator will be the most memorable part of the stay. I can't thank you enough for all of the work you did and for your great advice. It really helped to have so
much to do and to not have to worry about all of the planning. I am
already starting to think about our next trip. Maybe over the Christmas break. I hope you will help us again. Thanks for everything, Liz Borgen

Testimonial about Linda Barber, Hawaii, Alaska and Exotic Vacation Specialist

Linda,

It has been so busy ever since we got back, I haven't had time to do much else but catch up with the TV project. But first and foremost, i wanted to say THANK YOU! for the bottle of Tattinger's waiting for us at the Ritz when we arrived back in New York after our long flight from London. It was the best refreshment I have ever had! And so thoughtful of you as always. There was a beautiful note from the management and a specally printed c that said "Happy Anniversary Steve and Michael" -- we got a kick out of that and decided yes, from now to celebrate our anniversary on June 4, to mark this splendid occasion.

The staff at the Ritz was impeccable -- they welcomed us by name as soon as we walked in, and couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable. I loved staying at the Ritz Carlton in Boston when I was a kid and have always wanted to stay at the NYC Central Park Ritz and our experience there reminded me so much of the graciousness of the Boston Ritz from so many years ago. Probably one of the lovliest places to stay from the standpoint of comfort and connvenience. They just take pains to make you feel at home and special.

ven though their dining room is still closed for renovations, we had an incredible late supper and breakfast in their beautiful cocktail lounge that were perfectly prffparee and served. As I was still 'coming down' from my addiction to uropean Cafe au lait, Ias hesitant to order it here in NYC -- but I did anyway and they made it perfectly. What a sweet surprise. Next time, I think we do something like this coming back from a long flight, I will remember to add on an extra day so that we can rest bit more and also enjoy the spa at the hotel as one more way to re-acclimate to the rigors of real life!

Back in Paris: the Lafayette tour guide and driver you arranged for us were incredible -- every bit as knowledgeable (brilliant, actually), helpful, friendly and accommodattng as the arrangements in enice and Rome. To me, tour guides and private arrangements of this calibre truly turn these trips into extraodinary experiences -- they completely eliminate the hassle of trying to do these things on one's own, make superb use of time and add an immense element of quality to the experience overall. We always end up becoming good friends with our tour guides. Our guide in Paris was Valerie (cannot recall her last name and she was out of cards) -- she was delightful in every way. These guides and cars are worth every centime they charge. Thank you so much for making these arrangments for us.

Our next project that will take us around the globe is a TV project that Michael and I are developing on our own -- an eight-part series that travels to California, Mexico, the Carribbean, Virginia, NYC, Boston, Europe, Hong Kong and Shanghai. If you have a few minutes sometime, I would enjoy explaining a bit more about it with you. Until then, I hope you are having a great weekend -- what's left of it. The weather here this weekend is superb, so I need to get back outside and mix up few more mrgaritas!

Best to you -- and thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Steve and Michael

Testimonial to Viviana Gaeta our South America, Galapagos Islands, and Cruise Specialist:

Called you this Am to tell you what a great time we all had. Everything was handled to perfection. The kids had a ball . Between dressing up and eating the gourmet food they'll never be the same! We never got to Anchorage because there was a bad rainstorm which flooded the road so they brought us back to Fairbanks by bus and they flew us to Anchorage( didn't mind that at all) where a bus was waiting to drive us to Seward and the ship. Even though the rest of the family didn't see Anchorage we were all delighted by their decision. The ship was wonderful in every way; the food, the friendliness, the shows ( Cirque d'soleil for one), the accommodations, etc.. Just wanted to thank you!

Testimonial to Viviana Gaeta our South America and Galapagos Islands Specialist:

Viviana,

Thank you so much for all your help in the planning of our New York City trip. We returned yesterday after almost a full week in the Big Apple, and we loved every minute of it. The Lowell Hotel could not be a nicer place to stay. The staff is fabulous, and the location is absolutely perfect. I would definitely recommend it to others! Additionally, if you have people traveling to NYC who will need a town car rental, I would suggest that they contact the Paris Limousine Service at 718.396.1100 (Fax 718.204.8100) and specifically request the driver's name of Mobeen. He is a delightful man who knows the city very well, has great contacts at hotels and restaurants because he was a concierge for years, and is always prompt. If you were to make arrangements for one of your clients to be taken care of by Mobeen, they would be more than grateful for his service.

Thanks again for all the help you've given us. Next is the Hawaii trip in just 6 weeks! I've got a separate email regarding a slight change there. Lauren
