Honeymoon Adventure to New Zealand and Australia
Reviewed By Justin - Bryan, Texas | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
Good morning Albert!

Our honeymoon went perfect outside of the croc express so really can’t complain about that. Rotorua was probably our favorite city because of the location and how walkable the city was. We went to see the redwood forest and did all the hot springs spas. Waimangu volcanic valley was amazing and looked like it was out of Jurassic park. If we had to do it again we would probably do all New Zealand for 2.5 weeks because we had to move so much. Australia was also amazing. You guys did a great job planning out trip!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Memorable Journey with Amazing Experiences!
Reviewed By Melody - Omaha, Nebraska | Traveled to Dubai ~ United Arab Emirates ~ Middle East
"We really enjoyed all of the scheduled activities that were planned for us from the Burj Khalifa to dune bashing to the Abu Dhabi day trip. All of our tour guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The hotel and the resort we stayed at in both Dubai and the Maldives were beautiful and staff made our stays even more lovely. The only thing we would have changed is the time of year we went to the Maldives because of the extremely windy and rainy weather we experienced which we of course know is out of everyone’s control. Overall it was an incredible trip we will remember for the rest of our lives.”

Artistic, Elegant, & Unforgettable Europe: A Performance Journey Across Paris, London, Barcelona
Reviewed By Mercedes - Seattle | Traveled to Europe
We had a wonderful first-time experience visiting Paris, London, and Barcelona. The itinerary flow was perfect, each destination offered something special. Paris felt incredibly romantic, and our stay at Maison Colbert was ideal, just steps from Notre Dame. We loved the Seine River dinner cruise, our Eiffel Tower visit, and simply exploring the city. London was equally memorable, the train ride was smooth and relaxing, and The Rubens Hotel was elegant with exceptional service and dining. Barcelona was truly breathtaking. Our stay at the Renaissance Hotel was outstanding, with excellent service, dining, and location. Visiting La Sagrada Familia was unforgettable. All hotels, tours, and services were superb. Having private drivers throughout the trip was a huge benefit, especially given my husband’s visual challenges, it made everything much easier and stress free. The itinerary was thoughtfully paced, allowing us to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. Every experience was well planned and enjoyable. Albert made the entire journey seamless, memorable, and stress free. We’re already looking forward to booking our next trip with Almeda Travel.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Bali Adventure
Reviewed By Carl - Houston, TX | Traveled to Bali | Indonesia | East and Southeast Asia
It’s more on my part. Great trip even with hiccup on Monday with the road to Bali and then on a tour I scheduled through Vialtor the driver’s mom got sick so no driver and they were not able to find a substitute driver because of Bali holiday. I would suggest letting your customer know when putting them in a location to inform them of the condition around the hotel. What it would be like if you wanted to go walk around.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
