-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Lidia Fiendeiro, Italy, Tahiti, Fiji, Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii specialist: Italy, Tuscany, Rome
Dear Lidia,
We had the very best trip ever. We had such a great time. Everything went perfectly including the weather. Castello del Nero was a really interesting place and the staff was extremely friendly. The location had unbelievable views of the Tuscany hills. The only drawback, if I had to make one, was the only place to eat was primarily at the hotel, which had great food but was not cheap. The nearby village had a small place for lunch. We rented a car one day and drove around which was a lot of fun and found a place to eat for dinner. Rome on the other hand had too many places to eat and all were good. We walked and found a different sidewalk cafe each day and evening. It was great. The Splendide Royal Rome I would not recommend though. Staff was not friendly. The walls are so thin that when the people next door talked we thought they were in our room. Which is really funny since in the welcome letter they even say the walls are insulated for privacy. Also the vents are connected so when the people next door turned on the light at night the light would shine through to our room. Luckily there was people next door for only one night so this was never a problem. Hit all the spots in Rome. Vatican tour was excellent. The Hotel Santa Caterina in Amalfi was another place we would highly recommend. The views were spectacular from the cliff side. This place new the meaning of the word service. Waiters were always filling your glass and making sure you had what you needed. One night we could not finish the second bottle of wine. We only drank half. The waiter asked if we would like it sent to our room to drink later. By the time we got back to the room the wine was already there and in an ice bucket with a couple of glasses.
I wish, as always, we had more time. But especially this trip. We will miss all the great food and wine. Now it is time to start looking forward to the next trip.
thanks again for everything!!

You did such a wonderful job of planning our trip,including the hotels, guides, airfare and suggestions on activities. I hope to use your expertise again soon. I'm assuming that our credit for the cancelled flight and cancelled hotel in Izmir will be along shortly. Thank you again for doing such a fine job. Sincerely, Diane Matagrano -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Sharon Walters, Exotic Vacations and Tours Specialist: Italy
Sharon,
We are having way to much fun!
Villa dei lecci rocks!, Marika is such a wonderful person, since we are homeless and travelling for a long time her place feels like home. Her cooking is amazing, she is making lasagna for us tonight. the wine tour was excellent and the chocolate tasting was very enjoyable. the driver for the wine tour--Pietro Massi--was such a delightful person that i would ask for him by name the next time around and would recommend him to anyone.
Still working on my trip to London etc. any trip to greece will most likely have to be a last second type of arrangement.
Cheers.

Our Month Long Holiday in Europe
Joan, I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all of your work in making our trip such a nice one. All of the flights were just as planned and you found us some of the best seats on the plane! Staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in Budapest was the best! We were in walking distance of everything and I am so glad you chose that hotel.
We will want to do another river cruise in the future. We loved meeting so many people on the river cruise, and it was like one big happy family. It was really great, until the Danube decided to flood. I understand that is a rare occurrence in June...it is usually LOW water that can be a problem.
We were a little "miffed" at Air France. Jonny had a carry on that he has carried for many previous trips with Air New Zealand, TAM, Continental, Southwest, (and maybe Air France) all over the world, but Air France said it was over-sized and we had to pay $208 for extra baggage. Our luggage wasn't over weight. What a bummer!
Anyway, your planning was great, and we will let you know when we are ready for another trip. Jonny gets to plan the next one, and he wants to go to South America and Antarctica! If you run across any good deals, send them to him at ----------. We have got to loose some weight before we go and get in better shape so we can dance the tango in Buenos Aires! Warm regards, Jimmie

Hi Donna,
We just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that we are having a wonderful time and that Italy is even more spectacular than we could have imagined!
You did a fantastic job pulling this all together on such short notice and we have been so pleased with all experiences we have had thus far. The hotels have been beautiful and the staff very gracious.
Thank you for everything! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Sharon Walters, Europe, Exotic Vacations and Tours Specialist: Multi-Countries in Europe
Dear Sharon,
I just wanted to say thank you for planning a wonderful trip for Sherri and I. I was a little apprehensive about going to Europe, and not knowing anything about where we were going, language, people, etc. It didn’t take long after getting there to see how incredible a job of planning that you did for us, and how you put us at ease. I’m not sure that “incredible” is a good enough word for the trip you planned for us! It was more than we could imagine. Every detail was taken care of for our trip. It was a trip of a lifetime for us and our 30th anniversary.
I know that Travelwizard deals with hundreds of clients, and that we could have been a number on a list, but you made us feel like we were #1. The care and detail to every part of our trip was a tribute to how well you do your job. I hesitate to call it a job, it’s more of a gift you have. On a scale of 1-10, I would give you a 15!
I hope that when your son gets older and people ask him what his mother does, that he will tell them that she helps make peoples Dreams come true. We just want to say “thank you” again for such a wonderful trip. We would like to give you this gift as a token of our appreciation for what you have done for us.
Many Blessings to you and your Little Guy
Randy and Sherri Ansley -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Sharon Walters, Europe, Exotic Vacations and Tours Specialist: Croatia Hi, Sharon, Croatia was amazing!! We are now in our favorite spot in the whole world, Ischia. The rainstorm this afternoon was the first we've ever had here in 10 years! You outdid yourself, Sharon, with our trip. Maryann and co. were fantastic, checking on us every step of the way and sending us wonderful guides and drivers. The best part was that the guides were all local and spoke English beautifully - they really loved their country! Our only suggestion is perhaps not to keep changing the time of pickup ( 3 times), although we know it was at the request of the driver that it happened. We will head back to Trieste on Sat. Definitely a trip worth recommending - thanks for everything! PC!!

Randy and Sherri Ansley -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Lidia Fiendeiro, Italy, Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii specialist: Italy
Hi, Lidia. The trip to Italy was wonderful! It was one of our best trips -- jam packed and hectic, but we saw many beautiful sights over a ten day period. Our tour guide, Annick, was delightful and got along very well with our group. For a first time visit to Italy, it was a great way to get an overview of northern Italy.
Claudia Itzkowitz -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Donna Salerno, Europe, exotic tours, and vacation specialist: Italy
Dear Donna,
Just wanted to let you know that we landed back home after two weeks of perfect honeymooning.
Thank you so much for helping us organize the travel. It was truly an amazing experience.
The hotels you chose for us were absolutely the right call - they were so beautiful and we were upgraded to a terrace suite (thanks to your help!); which had a huge outdoor patio attached in addition to the ocean view terrace. We did not want to leave the suite all week! Thanks again for your suggestions on great day trips and details with this trip to make it special for us! It really makes a difference working with someone that has experience! I will make sure to pass your name to friends when they plan their travels! Only wondering how I can top this for our 1st Anniversary next year...

Dear Viviana,
Just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to Madeira. Thank you for finding the CS Madeira Atlantic for us, it was perfect in every way. The weather was stunning,our ocean view was fantastic, the staff lovely, the food was excellent and the pool area was very relaxing. The hotel location could not be beat and we were able to get out and walk around Funchal with no difficulty. We had no trouble getting our rental car and were able to cover the whole island in a week. I got to practice a lot of my Portuguese but everyone also spoke English beautifully. I would definitely go back again. I think it was more beautiful than Hawaii and in half the travel time. Thanks again for helping us put together a family vacation that we will treasure for years.
Sincerely, Genevieve Hunt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Donna Salerno, Europe, exotic tours, and vacation specialist: Italy, Venice
Dear Donna,
I talked to my mother for a long time on Monday. She said that their trip to Italy was "perfect" in every way.
They were especially impressed with the hotels you chose and said that the hotel in Venice "could not have been better". They were very impressed with your service and attention to detail.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of them. Your recommendations on tours were a perfect match to what they needed. The private guides you set up were much appreciated. Each guide was very knowledgeable and made their trip "much more interesting"!
I will definitely contact you for travel needs in the future. Again, Thank You for your help! We'll talk again soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback about Leslie Bryant, Tahiti, Fiji, Europe Specialist: France, Paris
Dear Leslie,
We had a fabulous time! France was absolutely wonderful, all of the hotels were great, the food spectacular and the service impeccable. I would highly recommend La Villa Maillot in Paris, Negresco in Nice and La Magnaneraie in Avignon.
I will definitely be contacting you again in the upcoming months to help us plan our trip to Tahiti for next year. In the meantime, enjoy yourself in the warm South Pacific!
Best, Josh -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Testimonials about Melinda, Europe, Australia, Tahiti--Cruise Specialist: Italy, Croatia, Greece Melinda,
Thank you so much for planning ANOTHER awesome vacation for us! Everything just runs so smooth when you plan our vacations. Thank you for always being available… you have no idea what a comfort that is!
The hotels in both Rome and Venice were perfectly situated in the city. They were in our price range and had great access to both cities. We enjoyed your suggestion of taking the water taxi to our hotel in Venice ~ what a great view of the city!
Transportation in and out of Croatia was a dream! The flights that you booked for us had the friendliest staff; they gave us great suggestions on where to eat in Dubrovnik. We loved seeing the Old City and would recommend anyone to see the beauty of this unexploited city.
Lastly, we absolutely fell in love with the hotels in Athens and Mykonos. From the window of the Hera Hotel, we could see the Parthenon. It was an incredible view that we had as we drank wine from our hotel room balcony. The Petasos Beach Hotel had the best breakfast, pools and hotel rooms. We never wanted to leave! We spend our 4th of July breaking plates, drinking ouzo and yelling, “Opah!” with the locals!
Our last days of vacation in Santorini were spent drinking wine at local wineries, riding scooters and eating all the Greek food we could get our hands on! The island transfers in Greece were so easy for us to manage. Everyone was so helpful, organized and concerned with getting us where we needed to be, when we needed to be there!
We more than appreciate your patience, fact finding, and the detail that you put into planning dream vacations for us!
There isn’t a vacation we won’t plan without you!
Many thanks,
