June 2011: 9-Day German Highlights 1st-class Rail tour
Dear Mr. Giesick,
To Europe
My husband and I just returned from your 9 day German Highlights 1st Class Rail Tour. It was wonderful. The information you provided prior to and during the trip was complete and accurate. The hotels were all convenient to the rail station, immaculate and welcoming. The day tours included were very professional and informative. Your suggestions for other activities were perfect. I highly recommend this tour to all who would like the reassurance of accommodations and transportation, but the freedom to pursue their own interests and at their own pace. I thank you and your staff for a splendid vacation and hope for your continued success in all your endeavors.

June 2011: 7-Day Gourmet & Castle Self-drive tour
Hi Thomas
Terry & I are now in Hamburg and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful places we have seen and stayed in ! We had a fabulous time and would like to advise that both Castle Waldeck and Schlob Petershagen were both wonderful experiences.
Both hotels had excellent facilities and wonderful staff, all be it, both very different experiences. When we arrived at Schlob Petershagen, we were greeted by name and shown a great deal of hospitality which made our stay very personal, thank you.
I believe we were true to your itinerary and visited each and every one of the itinerary suggestions. Travelling with a GPS is certainly the best way to travel and I will never attempt to travel any other way in future !
On arrival into Bremen we had a most enjoyable morning and on arrival at the Park Hotel, we were absolutely astonished at the venue for our last evening on tour! Oh what a wonderful way to end a fabulous week, once again we would like to thank you for your attention to detail and for your precise planning on all accounts.
I am yet to put my documents together for our train trip next week but will do so over the week. If I have any questions, I will contact you, but would suggest that from the week we have just had, every last detail will be in place for us !
Our travel to Germany has been very rewarding and we will certainly be passing on our travel experiences to friends and family!

May 2011 (Extended) 9-Day Day German Highlights 1st-class Rail Tour
Hi Thomas,
We just arrived back in Canada from our vacation. We had an amazing time. All of us want to thank you for making our trip to Germany so memorable. Everything was in order - all the trains, the hotels, tours, transportation, etc. Everything worked like clockwork - we had absolutely no issues and everyone at the hotels were very friendly and accomodating.
We really enjoyed the itinerary you put together for us - our favorite places were the small historic towns. We loved Rudesheim and the Rhine River Cruise, Wurtzberg, Rothenberg, Heidelburg, the day trips from Munich to the castles and the Sound of Music Tour. We really enjoyed Berlin as well - you recommendations really came in handy, We will definately use your services again on our next trip to Germany. You have our highest recommendations - thank you so much for making our vacation a vacation of a lifetime.

May 2011: Custom made Austria & Switzerland 1st-class Rail Tour
Dear Thomas,
We want to let you know how our tour went to Austria & Switzerland. Well it was absolutely "FANTASTIC". The schedule worked out perfectly. The hotels locations and the hotels themselves were very good. The tours in the cities were perfect. The tours to Interlaken and Lucerne were terrific and absolutely beautiful, especially the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe. Traveling by rail in Austria & Switzerland work out very good like it was in our trip to Germany. The cities we visited and the countryside was absolutely beautiful.
Thomas, let us know if you would like any more input on this tour. We would be very glad to do this.
Thank you very much for providing us with a "Fantastic" vacation. We look forward to working with you in the future.

December 2010: 5-Day Paris to Vienna 1st-class Rail tour
Dear Thomas,
Wish you a happy new year! More importantly, I would like to thank you for
your professionalism and making our trip so memorable. Everything went
according to plan! Although we are not one for stereotypes, everything that
you have planned for us was of top German precision and certainly lived up
(if not exceeded) our expectations. I do not think that the trip could have
gone any better!
Although the snow caused a little delay here and there with the schedules,
the information you have provided allowed us to easily move forward and
prevent much anxiety from the stress of traveling. We enclose herewith two
photos which we have taken at Linderhof Palace and of Schloss Neusweinstein
for your viewing.
The snow had made the scenery more beautiful and certainly filled our
journey with many unforgettable moments. Again, thank you for the wonderful
trip.
Yours sincerely,

December 2010: 8-Day Custom made Prague to Paris Rail Tour
Dear Thomas,
We are having a wonderful time in Bavaria. The tours you arranged have all
been very enjoyable. The private guide in Rothenberg was lovely. Due to bad
weather we missed one of our connections and arrived late. We phoned ahead
and the lady was very gracious and still gave us a lovely tour. We also enjoyed the palace tour in Wurzburg very much and made full use of
our grand circle tour in Munich. Our boys loved the carriages at the palace
and BMW world and Olympic park.
Today we went to Salzburg. I forgot to take the voucher but was still able
to take the tour. I don't know if you need to send them anything. The tour
was wonderful. Our travel on the trains has been very comfortable and we
have only had a couple of minor disruptions due to bad weather. Also our
accommodation has been great. German hotels certainly know how to do
breakfast. We are looking forward to seeing Heidelberg and will be happy to
upload some photos for you when we have some more internet capacity. Wishing
you a happy new year.

October 2010: (Adjusted) 7-Day Bavaria Rail tour & Rhine River Cruise
Hi Thomas,
We have safely arrived in Singapore and finally recovered from the jet lag
and excitement from visiting the many beautiful places in Germany:) It is
indeed an eye-opener to cruise down the romantic River Rhine surrounded by
the majestic castles, walk with the night watchman at the medieval
Rothenburg, climbing the forest to the enchanting Neuschwanstein, all the
memorable experiences are much treasured. We thank you again for arranging such a lovely package, and somehow managed
to squeeze one day in Frankfurt in between for the concert at Batschkapp -
which turned out to be the most awesome show we have ever watched. We even
managed to get in touch with the band members in person with precious
autographs and photos:) Hope to visit more destinations in the near future. Please send our regards
to your family too.

October 2010 / (Extended) 5-Day Romantic Road Self-drive tour
Hello Thomas,
Sorry in the delay of this email I have been meaning to write for sometime
now. I just wish to thank you for the excellent tour you organized for us,
it was truly an amazing experience -all the bed and breakfast/hotels where
of high standard and staff were friendly (I do not rate the hotel In Munich
dinning was a nightmare) and general sights along the way were well
organized Although took 3 days to see the castle due to poor weather (heavy
fog) so we did detour a fair bit from the original itinerary (thank god we
had GPS) still staying in the allocated towns. We drove along most of the romantic road but when it turned into the
highway/freeways we got off and went through more small villages which was a
unique experience. All of the towns in Bavaria/South Germany are lovely but
Rothernburg is our favorite. I will definitely use your company again if I
am lucky to visit your homeland again I will also recommend you to anyone
who's looking for a tour.

I just realized that I never thanked you for organizing our vacation last
Oct. on the Romantic Road. My wife and myself had a great adventure while in
Germany.The castles, country side the Cathedrals the residents where
unbelievable. Our hotels where also very nice. Everyone spoke English nice
and were very friendly. The G.P.S. on the rental car was the hot ticket for
getting around. Thanks again and I will definitely recommend your company to
my friends as well.

October 2010: (Extended) 7-Day Heidelberg & Bavaria Rail Circle Tour
Dear Thomas:
Sawasdee Ka! We can't thank you enough for our wonderful trip. Everything
was well planned and prepared for us. We love the hotels, especially those
in the small towns and those that are close to the train station. We voted
Spitzweg Hotel in Rothenburg as the best for breakfast and hospitality. It's
old but clean and very well-maintained. We were so impressed that the big,
traditional German breakfast was brought to our table by the owner himself!!
And the town is lovely. The rest of hotels are all OK, only Hilton in Bonn
is a bit too far from the station. Monopol is the best for being right
across the station and for their free mini-bar and WiFi.
I showed our photos to family members and you will sure get more customers
soon!! Thanks again for your excellent service, Thomas. We love Germany now
and would love to come back again in the future (to sleep in the castle this time!!).

October 2010 / 5-Day Romantic Road Self-drive tour
Thomas,
Sue & I returned from our vacation last weekend and I thought I'd tell you
how much we enjoyed the tour thru Bavaria we booked thru you. The sites were
a good distance apart, not too much time spent on the highway. All the
hotels you booked were wonderful, in a great location, wonderful hosts in
every city (especially in Rothenburg ODT). The funny thing was in picking up
the car in Frankfurt my wife commented that we came all the way to Germany
and had to drive a Ford!
The car was just fine, but with all the tight spots, if I had to do it
again, I would not have upgraded to a larger vehicle. We were very pleased
with the tour and will recommend you to others.
Thanks for everything.

Dear Thomas,
My wife and I have just returned to Australia after ten weeks overseas. Part
of our time included the four days Romantic Road self-drive tour you
arranged for us (following e-mails will help you make some identification if
necessary). I want you to know that we had a terrific time! The car was
excellent (a small-car Volkswagen Something), and the hotels you booked were
also excellent. They were well-located in the cities, moderately priced and
gave the best of service. The daily destinations were also well-spaced,
making for easy travel - a leisurely start each morning and an arrival at a
convenient time. I am so glad that we booked with you; you made us feel very
well cared-for.
Sincere wishes for your success,

September 2010: 7-Day Bavaria Rail Tour & Rhine River Cruise
Can't say enough about our perfect trip thru Germany! This was such a
wonderful way to get a taste of Old Germany. The trip was so well planned
with delightful Bavarian Hotels in great locations and good train
connections. It was so nice to be at our own pace yet have a plan. There is
a lot of walking on cobblestone streets and stair climbing in hotels and
train stations so one must be up for the task. Definitely a test of our
agility but never presented a problem for us. This will certainly be an
experience never to forget and we thank you,

Dear Thomas,
Thanks so much for the fantastic job you did booking the express bus,
hotels, rail tickets, and rental car for our recent trip. We had such a good
time and knowing that the transportation and hotels were competently taken
care of really eased our minds. We especially liked the NH hotel in
Nuremberg, it was so modern and sophisticated, but the others were great
too. I do apologize for calling you so early that one morning. The information
was in the packet you sent and I printed out, but we just panicked. Thank
you again.

After our wonderful trip along the Romantic Road in June, I've never taken
the time to make contact with you again to thank you. We thoroughly enjoyed
it! The accommodation was superb, the scenery splendid and the versatility
of having our own transport with the rental vehicle made it worth while.
Thank you very much for your flawless arrangements! This was truly an
experience we will cherish for years to come.

Thomas,
Well we just got back from our vacation in Europe thru you and your
service. I dont know all the things to say to describe our vacation. It was
absolutely FABULOUS..IT started with the first thing..the pickup of the rent
car. They told us you requested a Mercedes and it only had 40km on it. Brand
New..After that each place you had us staying at was top of the line and
although each was absolutely fantastic the next astounded us as it was
better...
I defiantly want to say THANK YOU in a very very big way it was something
we will remember the rest of our lifes...Bobbie is my special lady friend
that traveled with me and I imagine she will also send you a thank you... If
you even need a reference them please do use us..we are very very pleased...
Thank You Again

August 2010: 7-Day Heidelberg/Bavaria Rail Circle tour
Dear Thomas,
I want to express my appreciation for the perfectly planned Heidelberg and
Bavaria Rail Circle Tour that I just completed. The Hotels were ideally
located near the Train Stations and the local transportation hubs. Each
hotel was different and yet together they were well chosen. The suggested
local activities were great and more than I had the energy to fully
complete. The complete package of rail schedules, google maps to the hotel,
vouchers, taxi transfers, etc made it all execute like clock work.
I have been fortunate over the years to travel throughout Europe and the
world with most tour operators, including Insight, Trafalgar and Globus.
Since I travel alone, I use the tour companies to select hotels and provide
the needed transportation. I endure the discomfort of the coaches and the
often boring commentaries of the guides.
Now there is an option provided by your company either by train or by car.
Of course, I prefer the trains.
I wish you great success. I look forward to the trip we have just planned to
combine two of your tours in March 2011. I also look forward to the details
of the Imperial Cities Rail Circle Tour. I may consider that for the Fall of
2011.
Warm regards and best wishes,

Self-drive tour
Hi Thomas,
We just returned from our 18 day trip on Sunday night and I wanted to let
you know that we had a great time in Germany. We really enjoyed both tours.
The gourmet and castle tour was very nice and we loved staying in the
castles. The maps and directions you provided were easy to follow and very
helpful. The 8 day Bavaria self drive tour was fun. We enjoyed visiting
all the beautiful towns and palaces along the romantic road. We especially
liked othenberg and the tour with the night watchman was fun. Thanks again
for suggesting that we stay in Heidelberg on our last night. The city is
very beautiful and it was the perfect ending to our wonderful trip.
Thanks for everything,

Dear Thomas
I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for making the trip a great and truely Bavaria style for both my husband and I. It was romantic too. :) Although it was raining for the first few days, it did not dampen our spirits. The itinerary you planned was wonderful and thankfully for your map, we were able to find our way to the hotel and attractions with ease. The staff and residents in Germany were really friendly. They even came fore to speak to us eventhough we do not know Germanic language. The hotels were great and the personal time table was a great help to plan our itinerary for the day. We even get to experience night cycling around Munich city centre as the hotel you had provided were able to rent us the bicycles for free. In our spare time, we got to visit other famous attractions on our own like the Alliance Arena and BMW museum. All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves and the pictures we took were really lovely too.
Thank you very much for making this trip a memorable one for us!

Hi Thomas,
Just letting you know we're safely home from our trip and that we had a wonderful time. We particularly enjoyed the smaller towns from Rothenberg south. Though our favorite cities were Dinkelsbuhl and Nordlingen, the apartment and the landlord in Rothenberg were simply super. Shoengau (sp?) was kinda miserable as it was raining heavily. But we drove through the Austrian Alps on our way to Munich and that was pretty nice.
Thanks again for organizing this wonderful trip for us and I'll certainly recommend you to everyone who asks.

Hello Thomas-
We are home again in California after our wonderful Germany trip. Germany is an absolutely beautiful country. I wanted to thank you for all the bookings you made for us, the help along the entire process, from thinking through the whole plan, the wonderful reservations, answering all of my questions quickly and succinctly, to checking in on us and helping out with anything that came up during the trip. We had a really nice time and loved the hotels you selected. The children of course loved the hotels with the pools, we loved the charm and style of the Bed and Breakfast style hotels in Rothenburg and Munich and felt the rooms we received were perfect in size, location and amenities. Sebastian at the Hotel Laimer Hof was also wonderful. So helpful in every way.
You helped make our family adventure to Germany a wonderful success and if we ever make it there again we will be sure to contact you. And of course if anyone I know plans to take a trip to Germany I will give them your name.

Thomas,
YOU are a GENIUS !!!! What a lovely trip we had ! Everything was so perfect !! The trains were so easy to navigate and everyone was so helpful, even without asking for help ! The hotels were just perfect, the staff was always so plesant, the rooms so clean and comfortable and they were all so perfectly located. We could not have done so much if the breakfasts were not included and there in the hotel every morning, it got us off on our way bright and early and ready to tackle the day. All our stops on our trip are so very lovely, we can not decide on which we liked the best. We have 1744 pictures trying to capture all the beauty and fun in Germany !! The pass to enter in all those museums and palaces was a wonderful thing to have, we didn't have to compromise on where to enter and where to not enter. The combination of doing so much yet on our own schedule, in our own time is a winning combo for us.
Thomas, you offer a GREAT service and we will make sure we let everyone know.....Germany is a beautiful destination and YOU have the best tours for a perfect vacation.

Hi Thomas,
I meant to send you an email yesterday right after I came back from the vacation but I was tied up with other things - few pending business related work from my company.
Both my wife and I really enjoyed European vacation trip you arranged for us.
All extra activities you arranged for us such as dinner cruse on evening, city bus tour, etc. were very good and all choice of the hotel in different cities were excellent.
Train ride between cities was also very smooth and good.
In overall, we had a really good time and very satisfied with your services.
Thank you!

Thomas,
First I want to thank you for putting together such a fantastic trip. Your recommendations were superb. In addition, your organizational attention to detail was great. Everything was as you indicated. The stay in Munich was fantastic. The museum pass saved us a ton of money. The trains are on time, clean, efficient and very comfortable as a means of transport in Germany. Rothenburg was incredible as was Wurzburg. Our castle trip was a memory for a lifetime. We can cross one item off my bucket list... visiting Neuchwanstein. It was great. Ludwig was quite a man.
Here are the only things we want to share of a critical nature...1. Rothenburg au der Tauber... A great city... a great hotel... we wish we could have stayed there for many more days. It's a city you could visit for a week. The night watchman tour guide was awesome. EVERYONE must take that tour when they visit the city. 2. We were not aware of "reserved" coach seats on the train, so when someone asked us to vacate our seats after sitting in them for an hour, we were a little confused. Not sure how much reserved seats are, but on the long trip to Essen, that would have been a little less stressful.
Every restaurant and meal choice you recommended was right on. We pretty much followed your suggestions to the letter.
Once again, thanks for a great trip and arranging all that you did. When we return, we will be sure to look you up for advice again.
Have a great day,

My wife Lynne and I want to extend our thanks for your efforts in providing us with an exceptional fantastic 4 day tour of Frankfurt and Rudesheim and the additional day in Frankurt. The arrangements, schedule and hotels were all great. All the additional considerations with respect to locality, convenience, timing, etc reflects on you as being a super organized individual and always thinking of your clients. A job very well done in our eyes.
The Rudesheimer Schloss Hotel was a five star experience. The owners treated us almost as royality, we wish we could have stayed longer.
Many thanks

May, 2010: (extended) Romantic & Castle Road 1st-class Rail tour
Dear Thomas,
Just got back from our tour in Germany. I want to "Thank You" for the fantastic trip we had. We saw absolutely beautiful cities and sites. The hotels were very good and as stated in the tour guide we received they were within easy walking distance to the train stations. We were very impressed with the German Rail System. The extended two day trip to Rudesheim and the Rhine River Cruise was terrific. The detailed information we received from you made the tour very easy. The suggestions and the tips including where to eat were very helpful.
Thomas, we would like to "Thank You " again for the fantastic trip. We hope we will have a opportunity to work with you again.

Dear Thomas:
We have recently arrived home from our wonderful transatlantic cruise and incredible trip to Germany. We could not wait to tell you have pleased we were with the arrangements you made for us. Everything was in order and went smoothly. We appreciated the convenience of the hotels to the train stations as I had mentioned to you that my husband has a little difficulty with walking. How delighted we were to find that they were so close and actually one was just across the street. The use of the ICE trains was great and we actually met so many wonderful German people on these train trips.
The excursions and sights to see were great. The trip was more than we expected thanks to your careful planning.
We have already recommended you and your company to at least a dozen people.
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful memory for us. Our best wishes to you and again so many thanks.

December, 2009: (Extended) 9-Day Romantic Road, Bavaria & Salzburg Rail Tour
Dear Thomas
We have been home now just a week, we have been very tired since we have come back and mainly rested, and that is why I am only writing to you now. But now I am ready take care again of my affairs and first I wanted to thank you for organizing everything for us. We had the most wonderful trip especially on the Romantic Road. We loved every bit of it .Everything worked very well and we were so lucky that even the weather played ball. It was like a winter fairyland everywhere with all that snow.
We didn't get to see a lot in Nuernberg,as the train was over an hour late due to problems with the snow, but we still saw the castle and it was worth it just the same. We were very pleased with all that you did for us, the time tables the tickets and the hotels, everything was just great. We particular enjoyed the hotels in Frankfurt, Rothenburg and also the one you organized in Bremen.(They were older but specially nice).The others were much the same as what you would get in Australia. We also found the staff particularly nice in the Hotels in Frankfurt, Rothenburg and Bremen. On the whole we had the best holiday. Heidi my daughter also enjoyed the trip very much, she had to go back to work the next day after coming home,I think she is also still trying to recover. My son Neil and his partner Karen came back early and spent the last week of their holiday here at the beach and they too had the best time and were very impressed what they saw. Bruce and I very much loved it all, if I did it again, I think I would like to take a little more time, there is so much to see, we were very pleased we had the extra time in Rothenburg ,it was like living in a fairytale with all that snow.
All five of us want to thank you for organizing our trip along the romantic road and putting up with all those changes due to the problems that came with Karen and Neil's Dog getting ill and finally dying.
Thank you for everything
Yours Isa S.

Gday Thomas,
Just a quick note to thank you for a well organized and magnificent break.
Had no idea what to expect in Germany and was totally amazed! Great country full of great people. Only disappointment was the short time that I had to spend there to see so much.
Thanks again,

November, 2009: (Extended) 7-Day Romantic Road Self-drive tour
Thomas, We had a great time!! The John Deere tour was excellent. Had we had more time we could have toured the plant that makes the cabs.
All hotels were great. The top three being Hotel Schlossstuben in Büdingen, Hotel Spitzweg in Rothenburg, and Schlosshotel Lisl in Hohenschwangau.
The only downside to the trip was our vehicle being under powered.
The Christmas shopping was great and along with the John Deere toy tractors my kids had to buy two more bags to get all the purchases home.
I would certainly recommend you and your tour to anyone.
Thanks again,

Dear Thomas,
We had a wonderful time in Germany, thanks to your fantastic arrangements. Everything was great from the hotel arrangements to the attractions and the rail transportation, etc. The proximity of the hotels and the train stations was of much relief to us. We wish we had more time in Munich as there are so many things to do and see there (we missed the Hofbrauhaus!), or rather more time to travel around Germany.
We look forward to contacting you again for our fairy-tale route/christmas tour (unfortunately, we had to skip the fairy-tale route due to time constraint) in our next trip to Germany.
Danke schon!

Thomas:
Just got back from the trip. I wanted to let you know that everything went well. The GPS system in the car was a huge asset once I got it translated to English and figured out how to program it. I printed Google maps but it would have been much more difficult without the GPS. It made the trip much easier. The hotels were all good as well. We put about 1500km on the car and I did get a Merc C class. It was a turbo diesel. Nice car.
…
You may get some emails from Houston. My buddy Rex has some other friends who seem interested.
Thanks for your help.

Today exceeded my wildest dreams. The private tour took us everywhere in Neuschwanstein and has provide me with excellent background for my book.

August, 2009: Romantic & Castle Road tour
The trip exceeded my expectations. All the hotels were very well located, close to the train station and to the historical sights. The schedules for the trains were perfect and with Germany's efficiency they ran on time. At our age, I was concerned about catching the trains and carrying luggage but we had absolutely no problem, except of course we packed too much. I am glad we went directly from the airport to Wurzburg. I especially liked Rothenburg ob der Tauber and loved the Hotel Spitzweg.
The Royal Castle tour was great. I am glad we added Salzburg. Salzburg was beautiful and the "Sound of Music" tour was fun. We liked Heidelberg and the Leonardo hotel was fine.
The breakfasts were good and more than ample.
The trip was well planned and a good value.
Thank you,

August, 2009: 4-day Historic Cities of Rhine and Mosel
Dear Thomas,
We are back from a wonderful trip to Europe and I want to thank you for helping me arrange the wonderful Rhine/Mosel cities tour. It was a great tour, the perfect introduction for the two of us who have never traveleled in Germany before. What a fascinating mix of cities! And all of your (expeditiously prepared) instructions and documents were a godsend -- the logistics worked like a dream. We would never have been able to plan such a nice little trip on our own, knowing little about Germany. So thank you very much!
(One minor detail -- there are no baggage lockers at the Rudesheim train station, but we were able to find a shopkeeper who graciously stored our bags while we explored the charming town.)
We hope to book one of your tours again in the future, and will certainly recommend you to our friends and family.
Best regards,

July, 2009: Luxury Rhine Cruise and 1st-class Rail tour
Dear Mr Thomas Giesick,
We would like to send you very Good Wishes and very many thanks for the wonderful cruise you arranged for us on the "Premicon Queen". We really had a wonderful journey down the Rhine, and everything went to your plans as you had presented to us.
We would like to say how very grateful we all were for the way in which you handled our booking - it was done with such good manners and efficient way, and all went exactly as you said, we were able to follow your detailed instructions so very easily. All the hotels booked were very very good, the rail journeys to the places to stay were excellent and of very high standard.
You made our holiday a very memorable one and we can’t "Thank You" enough for all you did to make it so easy and enjoyable. There were only 45 guests on the cruise and about 80 crew and staff. This made it even more special - we were treated like Royalty.
Many many thanks and good wishes to you - we had a Fabulous Holiday and most of all it was nice to meet you in Frankfurt.
Best wishes from

Hello Thomas,
I would like to thank you for that wonderful trip that you arranged for me and my mom through Germany during Christmas. I know it's a late response, but as I was looking through my pictures I realize what a wonderful time I had there and what a great job you did to set everything up. The choice of the hotels was excellent, especially in Heidelberg and Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Neuschwanstein castles tour and hotel there were simply breathtaking. It was so much more then I expected. And I also appreciated the fact that it was so easy to get hold of you and get answers on all my questions.
Thank you very much for your work Thomas. I hope your business goes well during these difficult times. You really deserve it.

We had an absolutely wonderful time - and now we need a vacation to rest from all the activities! We especially appreciated the small details that you included such as the printed time-tables for the trains and the walking directions to/from the train stations and the hotels. The excursion in the Black Forest was also very memorable. …

Hi Tomas,
We just came back from our vacation. We arrived yesterday but slept most of day (due to time differences and jet-lag, etc.) but I am up now, and decided to write you about our experiences.
It was one of the most wonderful vacations we had in recent years. Daily itinerary you made for us was well planned and done. The hotel accommodations, rental car and recommended places to visit were all very, very good. There wasn't anything or any places we didn't like or we can complain.
We really enjoyed and had fantastic times in beautiful country Germany, thanks to you! The trip will be long remembered.
As I mentioned, we are planning to have an additional trip to Germany as well as Czech Republic very soon.
We'll rely on your service again for that trip.
Thank you!!!

Dear Thomas,
Just wanted to write and say what a wonderful holiday we had. The highlight was the stay in Trendelburg Castle, a truly wonderful setting. The views from the restaurant were breath taking. Kassel was also very impressive with the Hercules monument, would be interested to see that when all the work if finished.
A friend of mine is now sounding interested in doing a similar sort of trip to ours so I will be passing on your details to him.
Thank you for all your help. I think in a few years time we may do Kassel to Frankfurt and finish off the trail so will be keeping hold of your details.

Commencing from the cruise on the Rhine all the way through to our time in Rothenburg - it was just the most fantastic time. Thank you for all your suggestions - which really made the trip even more special. Thank you particularly for your advice to remain in Regensburg for longer - this was the most beautiful of towns for me. Definitely my favourite - along with Rothenburg.

Good Morning, Thomas,
we have finally returned home, late the evening of June 3 … Everything went well for our entire trip.
I want to give you the greatest thanks that one can, without being able to do it in person. From the beginning, I appreciated your patience with my questions, and concerns. Both my husband and I appreciated your attention to our desires, and the plans that you made for us.
The train travel went well, and yes, we really enjoyed the ICE trains. Do you know at what rate they travel? They were clean, comfortable, and the ride was very smooth. That in itself was a great experience.
The hotels that you arranged were just the experience that we were hoping for. …
We agreed that if the opportunity should come, we would like to use your services again. I will keep an ear out for any friends that might want to make plans to travel in areas that you cover. Thank you so much for your kindness and a trip that we will long remember.

We just returned from our vacation (Romantic Road Rail Tour) in your beautiful country, Germany.
The people were very friendly everywhere we went, the churches, castles, and sights were more than we expected, and, as a bonus, we got better-than-anticipated weather - what more could we ask for?
Your thorough pre-planning (daily itinerary, route, hotel and train reservations) made for a stress-free travel experience.
I would heartily recommend your service to anyone who seems even vaguely interested in traveling to Europe.
We had a great time! Thank you very much!

The others are back in England and I am back in South Africa and catching up at work.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and here are my comments:
While the atmosphere in all the markets was good, I thought the best markets were in Frankfurt and Stuttgart where the stalls were wonderfully decorated.
Rothenburg o d T was outstanding, as you said, and was definitely worth a visit.
The hotels were good; .. the location of all the hotels was convenient; … We tried the gluewhein at the markets but also enjoyed the kinder punsch and we tried all the different food on offer.
All in all it was a great experience and I thank you very much for all your assistance in arranging it.
