My sons and I had the best time together driving from Rome to Normandy. The trip was trouble-free. I really appreciated that the person who called me to finalize my travel reservations let me know that one of the hotels was not available. She made sure that I got a comparable hotel for almost the same price as my original choice. It made me feel good that there were still companies that cared about their clients.

Everything on our trip to Poland has been perfect, hotels, tours, trains and the weather! All suggested hotels have been very nice; staff was very friendly and helpful in all of them. I suggested it to some of my friends. Thank you for your site and I shall definitely use it again when travelling in Europe : )
