    Wat Phra Si Rattana

    A Journey Through the Wonders of Thailand

    I arrived in Bangkok, the bustling capital city of Thailand, and was immediately taken aback by the vibrant energy of the place. From the moment I stepped out of the airport, I was surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of a culture vastly different from my own. The first few days in Bangkok were a whirlwind of exploring. I visited ...

    Our wonderful vacation designed by Andrea Francoso
    Every day, during the trip and since we returned, we have been asked the following question: “How was your trip to Italy?” Our answer to everyone: “Outstanding! Marvelous! Fabulous! Andrea Francoso, our travel agent, put together an incredible trip for us. Great places, great private and small group tours. Fantastic hotels in excellent locations within the cities. All were excellent, but we must give extra props for the ones in Sorrento, San Gimignano/Tuscany & Venice. The views from each and every hotel room were spectacular. Andrea’s choice for the tour operator, Max, was wonderful too. He was always there for us if needed. Our nineteen (19) day trip took us to Rome, Pompei, Amalfi, Sorrento, Positano, Florence, Capri, Tuscany, San Gimignano (& Mormoraia, an enchanting & relaxing destination), Chianti, Lake Como, Venice (& Murano). We are so delighted with the trip. Every millisecond was sensational.” Andrea, thank you soooooo much for your knowledge & efforts.

    Our Iceland Trip!
    I’m realizing that we never thanked your or sent you an update about the trip to Iceland you booked for us! IT WAS AMAZING!! ?????? We loved trekking across Iceland! We made it all the way around the snaefellsnes peninsula and the amazing sites there (found a GREAT restaurant called the “House of Food” up there!), down through landmannalaugar (we loved the hike in the middle of nowhere and the f-roads!), through Vik (and the volcano worries!), and to the glacier lagoon (breath taking!)!! We saw so many waterfalls, insane landscapes, glaciers, and mountains it was all so amazing! Truly a once in a lifetime trip! We are so very appreciative of you all setting it all up for us!! We are also very appreciative of the flowers you left us in our Reykjavik hotel and they travelled from hotel to hotel with us as well! 1200 miles of fun!! Thank you again for everything you put together for us!

    Sri Lanka Wonderful
    Andrea, We had the most amazing time in Sri Lanka. The hotels were amazing….the tour guide was over the top and the activities were fantastic…..it is a very unique and special place….you nailed it for us, and it was exactly what we wanted to do. Thanks so much and I can’t wait to book my next vacation with you.

    Smooth and Relaxing Amalfi
    It was a great trip! Very relaxing! Well, the area we all know is beautiful. The hotels in Positano and Capri were great. They were not stuck right where the action was, but they had shuttles available. For us, this was a good thing because the towns were very crowded and after roaming around we got back to a beautiful tranquil oasis. But I suppose other people might prefer the noise… Everything went smoothly. All the drivers came on time. No issues. We were happy to go to Pompei. It was super interesting and it was good to have something cultural besides beautiful scenery and beaches.

    Vietnam has been wonderful!
    I want to let you know how our travel in Vietnam has been going. Our time in Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue and Hoi An has been wonderful: remarkable accommodations, very professional and friendly tour guides, sites and monuments we will never forget. And the food! Last but not least, to have somebody picking us up at the Ho Chi Minh City airport was very helpful. And we even successfully “navigate” a flood in Hue. Now we joined our friends for the rest of our tour, currently navigating the Mekong River to Phnom Penh, but I wanted to let you know that we are happy and you did a very good job. Again thanks. I’ll call you in person when I am back.

    Poland was great!
    I’m back from Europe and just wanted to let you know that Poland was fabulous, including the hotels, and especially the food tour (Michal, the guide who took us on this food journey was absolutely fabulous!) and Chopin recital (the pianist was amazing!) in Warsaw. Every guide and driver was on time, super knowledgeable, and courteous. Sometimes the information is a bit overwhelming, of course, with all the names and dates the tour guides rattle off but I’m always impressed by the amount of knowledge they have. THANK YOU for another fabulous trip! I can’t wait to book the next one!

    France in October was amazing!
    Hi Andrea, Just had to write and tell you what a fabulous trip to France you organized for our 50th wedding anniversary. Every detail was flawlessly planned as usual. I do want to let you know that all of our accommodations were wonderful and full of surprises. Your recommendation of the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris was exceptional. We had to add an additional night as we didn’t want to leave. I’d really like to acknowledge the two tour guides we had in Nice and Cannes, Frank and Simon. They were so knowledgeable and such delightful companions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. I hope you will pass that on to their superiors. Once again Andrea, thank you for making our travels so effortless and creating such great memories. We are your biggest fans. Until next time, David and Judy Perry
