July, 2010: 5-Day Romantic Road Self-drive tour

Hi Thomas,

Just letting you know we have just dropped off the car after a wonderful five days - all went smoothly, although the time went so fast!
We loved each place we stayed, but were particularly impressed with the Hotel Spitzweg in Rothenburg - a very charismatic hotel, and the owner recommended some great wineries to visit!
Again much appreciated; I will be able to recommend the tour in Australia.

June, 2010: 7-Day Romantic Road Coach & Rail Circle Tour

Thomas,

I wanted to write and thank you for setting up our vacation itinerary. Your directions of the daily events were very detailed, the trains, walks and sights. It was very easy getting around. Our hotel stays were a pleasant experience as well. I like to travel and I believe this was the BEST trip I have taken. Germany is a very beautiful country from what I had a chance to see. My husband and I had a great time.

Thank you again for everything...

June, 2010: (Extended) Romantic Road, Bavaria & Salzburg tour

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.

Thank you so very much,

June, 2010: (Adjusted) 10-Day Central European Rail tour

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!

May, 2010: (Adjusted) 4-Day Romantic Road Rail tour

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,

May, 2010: 4-Day Castle Road & Rhine River Cruise

Hi Thomas

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.

April, 2010: (adjusted) 9-Day Romantic Road, Bavaria & Salzburg Rail Tour

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.

December, 2009: 9-Day 1st-class Emperors, King´s & Kaiser´s Rail Tour

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,

October, 2009: (Extended) Romantic Road, Bavaria & Salzburg tour

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!

October, 2009: (Extended) Romantic Road Self-drive tour

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.

September, 2009: Private customized tour

Dear Mr. Giesick,

Today exceeded my wildest dreams. The private tour took us everywhere in Neuschwanstein and has provide me with excellent background for my book. Silvia was gracious, intelligent, excited about what we wanted, and took wonderful care of us! We could not have asked for more. Please thank her from the bottom of our hearts.

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

July, 2009: (Extended) 5-Day Romantic Road Rental Car tour

Thomas,

Well, we are back home in California. All went well and I really appreciate all your help. All the details and suggestions were perfect. The only thing I would change would be to shorten up the Rhine trip. Four hours rather than six would have been long enough.

Thanks again,

Dear Thomas:

Sorry it has taken me so long to thank you for the wonderful vacation you booked for me and my sister.

You met all our expectations including the extra day trip to Innsbruck for us to go to the Swarovski Crystalline exhibit.

I have emailed my travel agent that I would highly recommend your services to her clients.

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.

Scott and I arrived back in Boston last night after completing our Christmas tour in Germany. Thank you so much for a near-perfect experience. 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.

October, 2008: Romantic Road AVIS Rental car tour (extended)

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!!!

August, 2008: German Fairy-tale Route (customized tour)

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.

Hello Thomas

I have arrived home from my Europe journey and want to give you my feedback on your part of my trip. I found your tour very well organized and easy to follow. It enabled me to see a lot of worthwhile sights that I may not have otherwise. The hotels were all quite comfortable and easy to find from the Railway Stations, with your directions.

May, 2008: Rhine Cruise & Loreley

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.

Sincerely,

April, 2008: Romantic Road & Heidelberg 1st-class Rail Tour

Mr. Thomas Giesick,

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!

December 2007: Christmas Magic Grand Tour

Dear Thomas

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.

I just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for all of your help in planning our Christmas Markets tour. I have just submitted my review on Tripadvisor and included you on the email.

We had a wonderful time and appreciate all of your help with our planning.

Thanks again,

December 2007: German Fairy-tale Route

Thomas,

Danke für Dein mail. Die Reise was ausgezeichnet! Die Intercity Hotels sind sehr gut, und sehr bequem, nahe die Bahnhof.

Ich glaube dass meines Deutsch besser ist, weil viele Leute in Hanau, Marburg, Steinau, Kassel, Gottigen und Bremen Deutsch nicht sprechen können! Aber, es gab kein Problem, und ich habe gelernt dass mein Deutsh nicht zu schlect ist!

Nächste Jahr, durf ich noch einmals reisen (anderes Reise) und ich durch noch einmal Dir berühren.

Ich schreibe noch einmal wann meinen Bilden auf dem Internet sind.

Viele danke for alles Dir Hilfe,
