    I applaud everything about my experience w your company. Your communication before travel was instant and comforting to a traveler from another country. Each pick up/ transfer was on time and effective. Our tour leader, PERCY, was the most pleasant, engaging and knowledgeable. We could nit have asked for a better leader. Even though I was in a separate hotel as the other group members, these hotels were exceptional! I especially appreciated their location, included breakfast and hotel amenities. Thank you for a great experience.
