We pride ourselves on our customer service, and we’d like to share a little of what one of our valued customers had to say in a letter she wrote to us:

First of all, let me say, that when I first signed up for this trip, I had some real reservations. The cost and the fact that I knew nothing about your company really made me leary about booking the trip. I heard about it on the radio and thought there had to be a catch -- I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop....I even went on line and looked to see what I could find about the company. Unfortunately, the comments that I did find were pretty negative so I was a little worried.

I must tell you I was pleasantly surprised and very delighted with the trip. It was top rate from beginning to end.

Our tour bus driver, Duane was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and showed us so many things that we might not have otherwise seen. (He also knows ALL the good ice cream and pastry stops and good places to eat). The bus was very comfortable and he made the trip enjoyable with his videos and commentaries. I was even able to take some pretty awesome pictures through the windows.....they were that clear.

Once on board ship, what an outstanding experience!!!! This was our first cruise and it was an incredible adventure!

Overall, the trip was top rate...I would recommend it to anyone and would definitely book with you again in the future.

Thank you for a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience!
