Gabrielle, I'd just like to say a big Thanks for all your hard work it really showed. Transfers and hotels were above and beyond what I expected. The first transfer flying to Greece was a little scary because we had no idea what to expect. Driver left us off at the wrong hotel but they got us to the right one a couple blocks away. 2 hotels with similar name. Settled in after that and everything else perfect. Europe was a whirlwind so structured and rushed for me but we covered a lot of ground! We should have done this 10 years ago. Good breaks on the bus trips and a nice small group of people. Cruise was a nice relaxing end to our trip! Thanks again Karen

Thank you for a beautiful trip. We had a wonderful time in Sorrento and on Crete. Both were beautiful, but Italy was our favorite. The people were amazing, the food was great, and there was so much stuff to do. We were considering another location in Italy, and Gabrielle recommended Sorrento after hearing the type of vacation we wanted. It was the perfect choice!

Our trust was not misplaced! We had a fabulous time in Ireland and Scotland. I think the time in each of our destinations was perfect. It allowed us some free time to explore as well as an opportunity to learn from experts about each city. Our lodging could not have been more strategically placed; it allowed us excellent walkability to everything. The advance tickets to the Edinburgh castle were great as they were sold out for the day.

Overall, I was so impressed with you and Destinations Unlimited. I’m confident we will utilize your services again on a future trip. Again, thank you for all you did to make our journey incredible.

Thank you for all your help with our trip! We had a GREAT time! We honestly didn’t leave the resort once we arrived there, the resort offered a lot of different things for us to do. There were shows in the evening, an escape room, the kids enjoyed the pool entertainment and the waterpark. We bowled, saw the monkeys that live at the resort, visited the club (which reminded us just how old we are!! 😊) and checked out several of the bars. Our connecting rooms were perfect, it allowed for some privacy and separation. The terrace in our room was amazing – we spent a fair amount of time upstairs enjoying the lounge chairs and relaxing before bed. The hammocks on the balconies were also a hit!

Thank you so much again for everything! We will be in touch the next time we want to plan another trip!

Bad Wildbad was great fun for us. Thanks for steering us that direction! We hiked the mountain twice. The village has an amazing walking park along their river to the south of town. The spa was great as well and very relaxing. We had a lot of fun just driving through the black forest and the mountains. Relaxing, scenic, and exciting at the same time. My wife says she wants to go back again.

Krumbach was a great choice for our daily trips to Breitental to explore my wife's heritage. The Stadthotel was perfect and the oldest hotel/restaurant in Krumbach. Again, the staff was great, and we ate at the hotel each night because the food was awesome.

As usual we had great food everywhere we went and found a favorite bakery at each stop. So, no major issues or changes needed.

Thanks for the great coordination Gabrielle.

We had a wonderful time in Spain and Portugal. Thank you for planning an amazing trip! You will be the first person we recommend to others, and we will definitely contact you when we're ready for our next trip.

Spain was my favorite, and Portugal was my husband's favorite. The sights were phenomenal, and we can't say enough amazing things about our Kensington guides and drivers. They always looked out for us and were perfectly on time. The Spain hotel absolutely spoiled us to death.

You definitely have my recommendation!

Gabrielle has helped me travel to many different countries. She is always professional, well-researched, and an active listener. Her itineraries always have the best recommendations, choices, and logistics for the type of travel I want to do. I recommend her services to everyone.

Gabrielle,

The trip was really amazing. I especially enjoyed the private tours. Our guides were so knowledgeable and could answer every question. The Paris and Bordeaux hotels were nice. The hotel in Marseilles was quirky and not as large BUT the location was superb. The breakfasts in all three were over the top! The metro in Paris was so easy to figure out and getting to the Expo at Silmo worked really well. The airline cancelations threw us off a little bit, and we appreciated your quick change to avoid the airport strikes! Having the pick up and drop off from airports and hotels was very helpful as the language barrier for things like that was more difficult. All in all a great experience.

Thanks again for planning a fabulous trip!

We had a WONDERFUL time in Sorrento. We actually all said we would have liked to stay longer!

Hotel Leone was perfect!!!! The people were wonderful! The daily breakfast was awesome! The hotel, pool, pool bar and our rooms were so clean and so nice!!! And, the location was absolutely perfect! We could walk everywhere. It was close to the pier where you get on the boat tours. Close to so many amazing restaurants, hot spots, and shopping! We would definitely stay there again!!! We loved the beach. It was so fun and beautiful! The water is crystal clear! Amazing!

All of our transfers we great too! We changes our rail time and arrived in Naples 2 or 3 hours before our transfer was supposed to pick us up. I reached out to them and they rescheduled and had someone there to pick us up early. Again, wonderful!!!! They said it was no problem!!! What great people and experiences!

We appreciate everything so much!!! Can’t wait to go again.

This trip was one of the greatest travel experiences we have ever had. Thank you for your excellent arrangements. There are so many unique experiences that we were lucky to enjoy. Thanks again. I am sure we will work with you on future trips

Thank you for helping put together my trip. You were wonderful to work with. I had a great time returning to Seoul. Gabrielle was able to put together a customized itinerary to see very specific sights I remembered as a kid. I had a great time seeing these locations, the palaces, the DMZ, museums, and all the great food. The people were nice, and I had a great time taking photos of the streets. I'll be giving you a call when I have time to return to Seoul next year!

Thank you for your time and guidance, Gabrielle.

I had a grand trip to the Pacific Coast. Everyone on our group trip got to know one another well, and I have a new friends to keep in touch with. The experiences were very well done, the hotels were great, the meals were above average - all was just great. The Redwoods were absolutely amazing; they were the highlight of my trip.

I would recommend working with Gabrielle to anyone, and I look forward to contacting her about some upcoming travels next winter!

Our Iceland trip was amazing. The hotel was in a perfect location to walk to restaurants and shopping. Also, their twin room had full/queen sized rooms so that was a plus. The tours were great. We had good northern light viewing. The private tour was great to the golden loop. Thanks so much for helping to make this a great trip.

All in all, we had a GREAT trip. The resort you chose for us in Phuket is an absolutely stunning resort with10 star service (I think I made that ranking up). I HIGHLY recommend anyone to go there. The butler service was so good it was almost over the top, but absolutely perfect. The property in Bangkok was outstanding as well, totally different vibe (urban vs island). The spa there is the best I have ever seen and number two isn't even close. Overall, we were very happy with the service and recommendations. We would highly recommend everything we did. We also had some unbelievable food and adventures in Bangkok and would highly recommend to anyone to go to the dinner you recommended. We had the most unexpected fun dinner there. The food was great but the staff was even better, quite the adventure for dinner. Thank you for your assistance during this process.

Windjammer Landing was pretty upscale for us, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We'd recommend that resort to anyone! The excursion booking agent at Windjammer Landing was INCREDIBLY helpful. We saw beautiful scenery, coastline, snorkeled briefly, had some snacks and drinks, enjoyed Hotel Chocolate, and a beautiful sunset cruise.

I have worked with Gabrielle on two different tours to Korea. I have enjoyed the attention to detail and variety of options provided to me. My first trip was to revisit an area I had previously visited 40 years ago. My second was to visit actual areas of historically significant to Korean history and lots of Buddhist Temples. It was very heartfelt and complete. There is nothing more satisfying than sending time in areas one has studied from afar. If you what excellent service and unique experiences, look no further.

Gabrielle is passionate about travel, listens carefully and is actively helpful in every stage of the planning of your adventure. The hotels were wonderful in regard to location and helpfulness. I would absolutely recommend her to a friend or potential traveler. Thank you Gabrielle!

Hi Gabrielle,
Our trip was wonderful! Weather was perfect. The hotel in Frankfurt was very nice. The walking tour guides in Frankfurt, Munich and Dachau were exceptional. The private transfers were wonderful. The Rhine River tour the great. We found our favorite wine (Ice Wine) during the tasting. The Christmas shop in Rothenburg was Christmas on steroids. Dachau was very sobering. The tour guide was so passionate about the memorial. The royal castles were incredible. The little villages along the way were so quaint and charming. The pastries and sausages were excellent. We learned their pastry was not as sweet as in the US because they use sugar beets. They had just finished harvesting the beets. The city market in Frankfurt was amazing. The sausages were excellent. We tried the beer at the famous beer hall and Apple Wine in Frankfurt. Met very nice people from all over. It is hard to pick what sites were our favorite. We for sure will keep you in mind for our next trip! Thank you!

Thank you so much for helping us plan a once in a lifetime trip. Each experience went beyond our standards and well exceeded anything I could have imagined - we cannot wait to return to Spain! Our hotels were enchanting, the guides made the historical knowledge fun, and the restaurants you recommended were awesome. Tapas tasting was a blast! Our guide shared all sorts of fun stories and anecdotes about Madrid and Spain. Sagrada familia in Barcelona is worth seeing and learning about - a lot of tourists and crowds everywhere so the private car was really nice. Everything was delicious and beautiful!

I had an absolutely wonderful trip! You made everything SO seamless with the information I received beforehand that made me feel at ease which is huge for me- especially with it being my first solo trip! I met some incredibly amazing people on my tour that made me feel so welcome and made the trip that much more special. I love meeting new people that you just instantly connect with! The itinerary was perfect. I think Prague had to be my favorite stop! Between the illumination tour that we took at night to the beautiful architecture, and great food it was just a stunning city that I absolutely loved!!! I also couldn’t recommend the Anne Frank House enough in Amsterdam!!! So amazing, so heart wrenching- it was definitely a highlight for me there. There is so many incredible places in this world that truly makes you stop in your tracks in awe. Travel is just truly magical. And I can’t thank you enough for making this trip one that I will always remember! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

It was a great trip!

I can not express how much the tour director and bus driver added to the experience.

Marlene added so much to understanding the history of Ireland, politics, healthcare.
Her sense of humor and fun added so much to our experience.
The driver, Donal was so professional and made us feel safe on some of those narrow roads. We had a break down in a rural area, and a stroke of good luck and a friend of Donels passing by got a different bus and had us on our way again in not much more than an hour!

Great experience all around.

We had a wonderful trip to Ireland! For the most part, everything went pretty smoothly and I would say everyone had a great time. I was honestly a little nervous about doing a big group tour but it was really good and I would recommend it. The tour guide, Marlene, was so knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating – she really added to our experience. One day our bus broke down (it blew an air bag) in the middle of nowhere but they had another bus there in about an hour and we were on our way. They also made an unscheduled stop in Cong for us, so we could visit the pub that was in The Quiet Man.

We liked almost all of the attractions and felt like we had enough time to explore each of them. I think we would have liked a tad more time to do things on our own, but then we might have not have seen all of the stuff we did.

Thanks for all your help and patience with planning this trip for us!

I had a wonderful time in Ireland. I was missing Ireland before I even left the country.

We did and seen so many wonderful things it is hard to narrow down a favorite.

My favorite was probably visiting the Sheep Herding event. It was amazing! I learnt a lot. My next favorite was the Catamaran Cruise of the Killary Harbor . We were able to see some large fishing boats with their nets cast out. I had not seen this before. I loved all the stops at the pubs tasting whiskey and having afternoon Irish coffees and Bailey coffees. Put a nice glow on the day.

All of the hotels were beautiful! And each pub was very quaint – I loved them all.

Our tour guide was wealth of knowledge delivered with much humor. I felt very safe at all times.

I would recommend working with you to my friends and family. Very nice just being able to just relax and enjoy the trip.

Thank you very much for all your help in making our trip a wonderful experience.

Well, we made it back safe and sound. It all went off without a hitch. We really don’t have any complaints. Hotels were great and generally in good locations. The private drivers were really nice and made moving from train to lodging to airports much less stressful. If I were to do it over again, I would try to incorporate a bit more downtime / fun activities for the kids. I really enjoyed the historical tours, but I would guess not the highlight for the kids. Though I enjoyed driving the autobahn. All in all, a very nice trip and very little hiccups.

Thanks again for all your assistance and taking care of the details.

Our vacation was so great! We enjoyed all of the tours we were on and honestly it couldn’t have been more perfect. We loved both of the locations, but definitely have a special love for Edinburgh and Scotland in general. The views, people, and culture were absolutely amazing. Both locations of hotels were perfect. We loved being in the middle of it all!

Harry Potter Studio Tour was so special to see and we LOVED the HP walking tour in Edinburgh. Not only were we able to learn more about JK Rowlings inspirations, but we really enjoyed how the tour guide included Scottish history in the tour as well!

We will definitely be reaching back out once we’re ready to book our next trip! Your attention to detail and how you tailored our interests into our trip is so appreciated. I have already highly recommended you and shared contact information to a few family members and friends. We look forward to working with again you soon. Thanks so much for planning this unforgettable vacation!

We had the best honeymoon! Thank you so much for your recommendations, advice, and help the whole way!

We loved getting to experience Italy in a variety of ways- city, countryside, and coast:
• Rome - Our hotel was in an awesome location yet quiet and homey at night. Good service and breakfast!
• Tuscany - We really enjoyed this day/tour getting out of town with beautiful sights, food and history.
• Sorrento - Loved this area and being by the water. Our hotel was amazing and we never wanted to leave! The Capri boat tour was awesome with great views and a chance to embark on the island for a long time.

We are already thinking about our next adventures back in Europe and will absolutely be coming back to you for it! Thanks again for time spent on this, we really appreciate the thoughtfulness and resourcefulness to get this all done within our budget and timing.

Thank you for your help in setting up our honeymoon! It was incredible!! We loved every minute of it. We would absolutely recommend having a butler suite for honeymooners, it made everything so easy and we didn't have to think about anything - they set up chairs by the pool/beach, bottle service, and made our reservations for dinner. It would be doable without but was a really nice way to do a honeymoon. The only other thing I can think of that would be nice to know ahead of time is that we did have snorkeling included, but conditions are best in the mornings, as it gets pretty windy in the afternoon.

Hello Gabrielle, the Italian tour you picked out for us was amazing! Globus was very communicative and what I liked about each day was the optional evening excursions, which gave the group a choice to either rest and be on their own, or do the excursion- which a few included dinner; they were a great value for what you saw, did, and ate! Our guide Concheta was very experienced & we learned so much. The days were long & we were on our feet walking a lot, but Globus did a great job giving a heads up about the level of activity to expect. This tour was a great overview of Italy. The “Tuscan Farmhouse” dinner was phenomenal- not to be missed! Thanks for your help in setting all this up. Also, the extra day we spent in Sorrento ended up being an all day boat tour of the Almafi coast, with several hours in Almafi and Positano- we even got beach chairs & got in the water for a few hours. It was perfect!! Thank you, Michelle

Our stay at Beaches Ocho Rios, Jamaica was exceptional. We felt very safe on the property and during our resort/airport transfers. There was no reason for us to leave the property because there were so many things to do! The accommodations were spacious and well maintained. We enjoyed all three pools at the resort. The kids spent a lot of time at the water park or at the beach. We took advantage of all the complimentary water activities such as snorkeling, standup paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing, and riding the banana boat. All of the restaurants served incredible food; our favorite was The Venetian (Italian). All the staff were smiling and friendly. They always said hello and asked what they could to do make our stay more enjoyable. We liked the feel of being "at home" and that we were all "family". For an all-inclusive resort, it was well worth the money and we highly recommend this resort. We were so happy with our trip. Thanks for all your help!

We had a fantastic time. All the arrangements were on schedule and the guides/drivers were fantastic. The hike was great. We enjoyed every bit and can't narrow down which one was the best. Thanks for putting it all together for us.

Gabrielle, thank you, thank you, and thank you!!! It was the most amazing trip we could have had!!! You did an amazing job, setting up the different places and guides in France, Germany, and Switzerland!!! You can’t imagine how much your planning helped us!!! For first time travelers you had it all planned out so we felt confident in what we were doing!! The cancelled train ride and you were on top of it and had a different train ride set up and had informed our pickup before we even knew it was cancelled. I think the peace of mind, the schedule already set up and the tours that you set up were all so great!!! I have already told many that they need to use you!!!

Our trip at Secrets Moche was wonderful. It was a beautiful resort with wonderful restaurants and we enjoyed the evening entertainment as well as the live music played by the pool and lagoon.

The resort paid extra special attention to our daughter being vegetarian. Several waiters at the restaurants were also vegetarian so they were able to provide her with dish entree recommendations.

We spent most of our days at the Entertainment pool where the staff kept us entertained and involved with basketball, volleyball, water aerobics, bingo, and blackjack. This was some of the best staff on the resort and made the stay so enjoyable and we never felt bored or ran out of things to do.

We appreciate you recommending Secrets Moche to our family and may even return there again someday.

It looks like you are doing a lot of traveling yourself and I will keep your email handy in the future for additional trips.

Thank you for creating a lifetime experience! It was great to have a contact in India. This helped a lot. Our driver was amazing! Hotel was good. Tour guides were great. Taj Mahal was amazing. (Agra was a nice break from Delhi.) Overall, it was an experience. It’s a lot to take in and I am still absorbing it.

Gabrielle created a truly memorable and enriching experience for our vacation to Egypt! She curated a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, ensuring that every moment of our once-in-a-lifetime trip was extraordinary.

Gabrielle included both unique and exclusive activities, such as walking up into the Pyramid of Giza, exploring the treasures of the museum (King Tut), and visiting the Muhammid Ali Mosque. Riding Arabians around the pyramids at sunset and dining at a beautiful rooftop restaurant added an extra layer of magic to our journey.

Gabrielle's attention to detail in the itinerary, along with practical tips for immersing ourselves in other cultures, reflected a dedication to making our travel experience not just enjoyable but also insightful. We ended our adventure in a Gouna villa with a pool along the sea. It was a perfect touch, allowing us to unwind and reflect on the incredible moments we had throughout our stay in Egypt.

Our trip to Italy was AMAZING! You picked all the right things, and we had a great time.

The cadence was exactly right. We were able to see all the things we wanted to see, and when we saw the lines (that we WEREN'T standing in), I can’t imagine how our experience would have been different just showing up on our own. We had time every day to do the things on the itinerary,and we also had times to see things on our own. And we had some REALLY good food on our trip!

I think the golf cart tour was something that we were a little unsure about before we left, but our guide was fantastic and it was perfect. We might not have chosen that on our own, but your recommendation was exactly right—it was a great way to see a lot of Rome. The quality of guides throughout were really incredible.

We will definitely be back for our next trip. This is the first time that we’ve worked with someone for a trip like this, but I can’t believe how easy you made this trip!

The trip went off perfectly. All hotels were great. The transportation services to and from the Cairo and Sharm El-Sheik airports were the best. They whisked us through the whole process so quickly! The resort you set us to in Sharm was beautiful and immaculately designed, with pools, restaurants, activities, a beach on the Red Sea, a waterpark, etc. The 24/7 dining is certainly excellent, and the rooms are pretty spacious. Ready for rest, relaxation, sun time, and splashing in the shimmering turquoise Red Sea. The food has been excellent. The wait staff is Egyptian and wonderfully friendly. In our next hotel in Marrakech, we got upgraded from 2 separate rooms to a huge 2-bedroom suite! Always nice to have a living room and that extra space. Dinner was included in our rate. It was the most extravagant and beautiful buffet imaginable. Classic Moroccan dishes were everywhere: tender lamb, richly spiced beef, and perfectly seasoned chicken, fish and each somehow better than the last. Vegetables and breads galore. There was fresh lamb being grilled to order out on the deck. Just wow. And then came the showstopper: a Moroccan celebration dish called bastilla—a large, flaky, paella-like pastry filled with seafood, vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, and aromatic spices, all baked to a perfect golden crisp. Alyssa called it one of the most incredible dishes she’d ever tasted. Russ demolished a plate of fresh lamb chops, while AP enthusiastically sampled… well, just about everything. We asked for a late checkout, so we got to sleep in, enjoy a nice breakfast, pack up, and set off.

We had an amazing time on our trip. The weather was perfect, the food at the resort was excellent, and the amenities were even nicer than we expected. We fed monkeys in a sanctuary and then drove side by side buggies around a village and to a river. That excursion was one of the highlights of our trip, but we loved relaxing and enjoying the resort itself. The resort hosted a fun New Year's Eve Party with a live band and tons of decorations, which was really fun! We sincerely thank you for your assistance in coordinating this trip for us. It was so special and we will remember it forever!

Our trip was wonderfully memorable. We saw a lot and very much appreciated all the adventures and experiences. The spa outside of Alcobaca was a good choice for us as far as accommodations and spa facilities are concerned. We thoroughly enjoyed the hydrotherapy circuit each morning and late afternoon or early evening. There were some area to walk or hike as well. Personally, I enjoyed the Fado dinner and performance very much. My choice for the main course at dinner was probably the best beef steak I've had in a very long time. The starters and dessert options were also excellent. I found the performances very interesting, including the protocols surrounding them. Thanks again for your expert help.

Our honeymoon was so fun! It was the best trip ever. We got to see lots of sea turtles! It was so nice to swim at the beach, grab a drink, and then swim snorkel some more. We didn’t want to leave the resort, and we were actually loved how the resort was away from everything.

Gabrielle was an amazing choice to plan our honeymoon in Maine. Answered all of the questions with a ton of patience during the planning process, held our hand while we figured out the airline didn’t seat us next to each other on flights and how to fix it, and talked us through a minor issue with the rental car. She was incredibly thoughtful in the planning, first sending us to busy and tourist heavy Bar Harbor first and then to slower-paced area of Kennebunkport to end the trip. She even added personal touches for us that made the trip even more special!! She was extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable! We highly recommend her for all your travel needs. We can’t wait to use her to plan our next trip!

We all had a great time in Greece, the hotel was nice, the people are friendly. It was nice to be so close to all the shops and most of the monuments. I would say luck was on our hands. We got to see the changing of the guards. In Olympia we got to see them filming the opening for the winter Olympics. We also got to see the lighting of the Christmas tree. Greece has some pretty nice views. Thank you for your work!

We cannot recommend Gabrielle Estel at Travel Leaders / Destinations Unlimited enough! She planned the honeymoon of our dreams, making the entire process an absolute breeze. This was exactly what we needed, as most of our time had been spent planning our wedding. From start to finish, Gabrielle handled every detail with incredible care, so we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Her attention to detail was impeccable. Every transfer and driver was perfectly arranged, with clear directions provided, so we never had to worry about transportation. Even when one of our flights was canceled, she rescheduled it before we even noticed, saving us so much stress. Her communication was consistently clear, prompt, and reassuring. Thanks to Gabrielle, we enjoyed an unforgettable trip through Italy. We explored the romantic streets and historic landmarks of Rome, from the Vatican Museums to the Colosseum and Roman Forum. We traveled by train to Naples and Sorrento, stayed at the stunning Grand Hotel De La Ville, and experienced a private lemon tour with tastings and a limoncello-making demonstration. Every tour, hotel stay, and transfer was seamless and perfectly organized. Gabrielle truly went above and beyond to make our honeymoon relaxing, magical, and worry-free. If you want someone at Travel Leaders / Destinations Unlimited who will take care of every detail so you can just enjoy your trip, she is absolutely the person to work with.

Scotland was amazing. The tour and CIE were great. Our tour guide, Peter, was awesome! If we had any complaint at all, it was that the dinners tended to go long. 1.5-2 hours for dinner each evening gets to be a bit much. It was fine though. I took so many great photos to share with you. We'd do it all over again if we could. Thanks for all your help and your tips.

We had a nice time on our trip. I would say that Normandy was the highlight. We were especially glad that our transportation to and from the airport and the ship was arranged. If there would be anything we would change, it would be to upgrade our seats on the plane. There was a lot of history of WW2 in the ports which was interesting. Thank you for all of your help!

We had a great trip! All of our connections worked seamlessly. We really enjoyed lunch at the Eiffel Tower with a great view! The private guide we had at the Louvre was outstanding. Our river cruise was great and the staff was extremely attentive. The excursions were well run and included outstanding local guides. The meals were incredible. We enjoyed each stop along the way, but the beaches of Normandy were a highlight as well as Monet's gardens. We didn't get to Notre Dame, but when we stopped in Rouen, we went to the Notre Dame of Rouen. We would highly recommend AMAwaterways. The river cruise is a great way to travel and experience many cities in France. We made some friends on the trip. Last evening of the cruise, we went on the top deck and saw the Eiffel Tower lit up, it was beautiful.

Thank you so much for your expertise in planning the trip for us. You do your job very well. It was so nice of you Gabrielle to get us that upgrade to the Penthouse Room in Rome. It provided for a magical and picturesque start to our big Italy adventures. Your trip planning / coordination and tour ideas were spot on for Connie and myself. Our trip was wonderful and we highly recommend it to other travelers. We were very pleased with the small group tours, with only 6-8 people in our groups, and we learned a lot from each of the guides. The hotel in Rome was so conveniently located that we were able to walk to many amazing sites. We explored on our own The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps…. Speaking of the hotel we were very pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to the Penthouse Room at the Hotel Damaso! Our room was great and the private balcony was amazing. After the hustle and bustle of Rome we were ready for the change to Sorrento. Our room there was also lovely and the service was top notch. In Sorrento we really enjoyed the Lemon Grove tour, followed the next day by the boat tour of Capri. That day may have been our favorite day of the trip! So relaxing with the small group, a fun captain, and lots of information shared about the island. The Blue Grotto was definitely a highlight for us. It was nice to spend a few hours here and there relaxing by the pool at the hotel. The very narrow streets and incredible number of scooters zipping around will be something that we remember! ?? We truly had a great time and can’t wait for our next international adventure. We will be sure to contact you.

Thank you for your attention to our trip - it was wonderful. The transfers to/from the airport/hotel were excellent as was the hotel. The hotel was perfectly located for us; the balcony was perfect; and accommodations excellent. We appreciated the breakfasts and the rooftop bar. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thank you for helping make it so enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time in Greece. All the transportation worked out perfectly, the private walking tour of Athens was wonderful. Our guide, George, could not have done a better job – the tour to Delphi was great and the view from the restaurant/bar at the Electra Hotel was incredible. Crete is gorgeous – and the location of the hotels in Crete made sense because of the location to the City Center. We enjoyed the Sea/ beaches/ and beautiful landscape of Crete very much. The private boat tour while in Chania to Gramvousa Bay and Balos Beach which was incredible. The color of the Sea and the view is absolutely stunning. I do appreciate all the work/ effort you put into our trip and appreciate your patience with the updates and changes. Just trying to get the absolute best trip to Greece possible for my family. We succeeded! The trip is definitely 15 stars out of 10!

You are a good listener and understood that our trip was about reconnecting with our son and his family vs touring Japan. Hence, I think that contributed to your patience. I so appreciated that. The trip couldn’t have been better. The trip was a tremendous and important success for our family. As I had hoped, our son and his wife loved the Kyoto hotel. Breakfast was included for both of our rooms and it was a delicious start to the day. My daughter in law used the hot springs every evening. The room was perfect; the staff was excellent; and there was a lot to do and places to eat within walking distance. Thank you very much for your help. We would like your help to take our son and his family to Hawaii soon.

Our first stop was the Hammond glacier. It was sunny out, so it was beautiful. This ship rotated in front of the glacier so it we were able to enjoy the glacier from our balcony. Great pictures. We saw sea lions and the ice would fall and sound like thunder. Saw humpback whales feeding, porpoises, sea otters and sea lions, and a bear on the shore. The captain of the boat was entertaining and learned a lot about living in Alaska. We took the train to the Yukon and back It was a nice train ride with great views and a great guided tour of the history and the area. The cabins were nice. The shower provided plenty of hot water. The balcony was great. I expected a little more out of the cabin service due to previous cruises, but nothing was bad at all. I enjoyed dining in the dining room better than the buffet. It was not crowded, you had your own table, and the views were amazing. The food was good with good variety.

Good morning! We've been back for about a week now, and we're still feeling the magic from our honeymoon trip. Thank you so much for all your coordination and advice regarding our trip. Along with all the planning and bookings, we were blessed with ridiculously good weather for our whole visit to Ireland and excursion to Scotland. The Ireland partner you recommended was great! Our tour bus driver/guide was knowledgeable and hilarious at the same time. We'll keep you in mind for all future travel as well. We're already drafting our itinerary for the next trip over!

We I want you to know how amazing the trip was. We had no issues with any of the rooms/transfers/or planned days at each city. All of the guides were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Katherine and I both enjoyed the level of hospitality the Greeks showed. They are prideful of their country and very pleasant. Each restaurant that we went to we were treating with great service and hospitality. With that, the food was amazing. We didn’t have a bad meal! We almost wish we would have done even one more day on either island. The views of the ocean were amazing. Thank you again for your hard work on this trip. It was beautiful and we for sure continue to use you for our trips!

Thanks SO much for your help with this. Our trip has been unforgettable! Our entire trip was wonderful, but here's some takeaways: - Favorite locale = Naxos. The beachside hotel, ease of access to shopping/dining, and ocean sunsets were the best. - Our private tours and their guides were outstanding, with special kudos to our guide on Naxos! So glad we spent the extra money on private tours/excursions. - Loved the food, as we tried many new things and had seafood at every meal...and ice cream! - As a pastor, Corinth was especially meaningful to me. - My highlight? Being there with my wife! So grateful for all your help - before and during! It was unforgettable and precious to us! Thanks so much!

We had a great time in Costa Rica! Thank you so much for your help in planning a very special vacation for Carmen and me. We had a great time in the La Fortuna area. The hotel was an excellent place to stay and provided a high quality, customer service experience that was great. Our favorite excursion was the Mistic Hanging Bridge excursion, and the least was the Mountain Biking. Mountain Biking was good, but it was adventurous on the trail, so it required focus and attention to complete. The Pacific coast stay at the all-inclusive resort was great as well. We would recommend it to other potential guests who are looking for a family friendly, beach resort with great restaurants and opportunities to relax and enjoy the sun. Travel went nearly all as planned. Our drivers were great, so we had no issues there at all. Thanks again for your help! We look forward to planning future trips with you and/or your company. It went great!

Thanks so much for helping us plan this trip! I will definitely reach out for my next vacation ?? Everything was great! They had an amazing spa where we got to have massages and a cool hydrotherapy session. The food was great and it wasn't too crowded so we were always able to find a lounge chair on the beach or near the pool. They also planned well and had umbrellas every couple chairs so if you needed some shade it was easy to come by.

Thank you again for putting together a great trip for us. I would highly recommend this itinerary and I would definitely recommend you and Destinations Unlimited for vacation planning services. I hope to be in contact again in the future to plan the next big trip! We had the most amazing trip to Australia and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The itinerary you put together for us was absolutely perfect for everything we wanted to do. I think we had a great balance of exploring the city (Sydney), seeing some of the other sites around the country and spending time with family who live in Sydney. There were so many experiences it is difficult to pinpoint which we enjoyed the most. Highlights for us in no particular order were: Reef sleep, Sounds of Silence Dinner (highly recommend), Uluru Highlights SunriseTour, Two Fat Blokes Wine Tour (highly recommend), Opera House Tour and Dine. All the hotels were great. We particularly enjoyed The Anchorage Port Stephens (beautiful location and grea

Everything went well on the trip and the RPM was everything we expected it to be. Appreciate your help putting this together…the flight, seats and bags were all well taken care of. Thanks again and we’ll check back with you when we look to put another trip together!

The small group tour you recommended was exceptional, and I want to do another of their trips. The tour guide Sam was very good at his job and really cool. His Karaoke is NOT GOOD but fun nevertheless. He was doing this little dance sometimes when we were just hanging around. We called it the Sam dance. What was on the itinerary was paced and planned very well. I really enjoyed the day we took a bike ride and visited the farm and had some tea. I got to water the field with the two water buckets and the balance pole on my shoulder. I loved the train ride. I liked how the guide gave us different options of what to do on some nights. The places we ate and his suggestions of where to eat were also good. Another of my favorites was visiting the rooftop bars. I'm ready to start ping-ponging ideas with you for my trip next year!

I can’t brag enough on how well planned this trip was. We enjoyed every minute of this entire experience. The pasta class, colosseum, duomo, san gimignano, pisa tours were all so wonderful!! Everyone kept asking me how I got to do all those things aligned so perfectly with our days haha! Thank you for communicating so well throughout the entire planning process and while we were in Italy. The customer service was so prompt via email, so glad I chose you! You were a HUGE help in achieving seeing the gems on this trip.

First let me say thank you! It was a great trip. Air travel times were good and transportation was on time and pretty good as well. The length of the trip seems perfect. We had a lot of downtime at the pool with some friends we met up with. Great weather and a great time. The resort was nice with a polite and respectful staff. Food was good with many choices and options. I really appreciate you and your expertise with our trip. Had a awesome time.
