Our trip to Europe was fantastic. My husband and I wanted to plan a 2 week vacation. This was our first trip to Europe, so I had no idea how to go about planning it, let alone booking overseas hotels without wondering what kind of place I was going to end up in. I found your site on Google and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed! It was quite easy to use. The four rooms we booked for Paris, Milan, Venice and Florence were clean, well maintained and in good locations as promised.The fifth was a B&B in Rome, also in a great location and within easy walking distance of several of the sites we wanted to see. Your site really made the booking process so easy! Being able to see photos of the properties, pinpoint their locations and read reviews from other travelers gave me a sense of security that I was booking a legitimate and well tended hotel. When I emailed your site with questions, they were answered promptly by a live human. I would definitely use the site again and recommend it to anyone looking to get started on planning their own trip.

Overall we were happy with our experience from the planning to our lodging. We had our trust issues about not physically seeing anyone, but your staff were available to chat with us when we had questions. We had only one incident in the Doubletree Excel Hotel. The receptionist told me that breakfast wasn’t included in the voucher. My husband clarified the situation and she apologized for not reading the voucher correctly. The selection of lodging was very interesting, varying from modern hotels to tea rooms and an apartment. We were expected at each lodging and there were no difficulties. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and we would happily use your company again for future travels. Thank you for your efficient organization, comforting agents and follow-up.
