Dai was AMAZING, today was definitely our favorite day so far. Dai was very easy going, funny and friendly - he introduced us to laver bread and shared so much information about the area.

Dear Jan and Robin, we had a truly memorable tour of South Wales! Fiona took great care of us and showed us many hidden gems.

Dear Robin, we greatly appreciate all of the time and resources you provided in order to arrange our travels in Croatia in July. We are sending along some local produce found in the Northern Sacramento Valley where we reside. Thank you again.

Hi, Jan. Your taxi to the airport was the best suggestion. Driver was a retired policeman... We chatted the whole way and it saved me the stress of trying taxi plus train or trains to get to Manchester. Never thought any tour would exceed WHW 2009, but the last two weeks have been the best experience ever! Cymru am Byth! Dymuniadau Gorau to you Jan.
Karen Conley, Quarryville, PA

We are very much enjoying Wales… We love the room. And the wine. Thank you! Also, given the temp of high 80s, it was perfect timing to get a room with air conditioning. Oh almost forgot. Our tour guide/driver for Snowdonia and more was Carl. He is terrific!
Mr & Mrs Weaver, USA

Every trip exceeds the one before with special moments, surprises and individualized care all within our budget!! Thanks Jan and staff for making each trip “the trip of a lifetime”!
Bonnie Bollwinkel, Monterey, CA

Thank you for all you did to ensure this was a pilgrimage, not just a trip. We love you!
Carol, Dirk and the mighty band of pilgrims, Los Altos, CA

Thank you so very much for arranging such a wonderful and special trip for us to Paris! Though it was a short visit, we kept very busy - had a truly lovely time. The hotel was spectacular, the dinner delicious and the Eiffel Tower breathtaking.
Amy & John Beyer, Long Island, NY

Your enthusiasm for experiencing the beauty, culture and history of Wales is contagious. We really enjoyed our trip and appreciate the role that you and your company played in making it great!

Most Unusual Tour Planned (so far) - An ancestral tour for ‘Cedar the Welsh Corgi’ from Florida. ‘Alas, no royal bloodline was found.’
