Clients Feedback

Clients of Kathy Murray, PTS Travel, clients Sharon and Lindsay H. From FL for trip to Istanbul, Cairo, Jerusalem and Athens, October 2009

I just wanted to share this email I just got from one of my clients. The email below is from one of my clients who just returned from a 10-day trip to Istanbul, Jerusalem, Cairo and Athens. They were very specific about where they wanted to go and what they wanted to do. Sophia helped me put together a wonderful itinerary for them, including hotels, tours and private transfers in each city.  I just wanted to share, and to thank Sophia for all of her help! Sometimes I feel as if I’m bothering her with all of our questions and changes, but she is always very patient!!

Client feedback: Back from the yet another Kathy Murray perfectly orchestrated VIP trip! We are loaded down with 1000 count Egyptian sheets, olive wood, Turkish rugs and of course the medal from the Marathon. The Cairo guide should be recommended highly. Thanks again and we will continue to be your loyal patrons.

Clients of All Together Now Travel, Jacqueline and Laurence F, CA , Central Europe September 2009

Hi Barbara,

It was a fantastic trip.  The weather was absolutely perfect with sunny skies every day; you didn’t even need a sweater at night, except when we arrived in Prague.  Every place was beautiful and special in its own right.  Every transfer was right there when we got off the train and the train stations were less than 10 minutes from every hotel.  That was quite nice.  In Prague, we couldn’t find the guy and of course that was when we arrived around 8:30 p.m.  We just waited around and finally I saw a guy flapping a sign against his leg.  I thought…if you’d hold it up we could have found you!   

The hotels were all wonderful, of course the Vienna and Salzburg ones were the best in terms of luxury, but they were all in great locations with good staff, the breakfasts were great also.  I sure miss having someone prepare my omelet, get me my tea, extra forks, etc. LOL

Thanks for everything!

Marcia B, A Vacation of a Lifetime, cruise excursions, September 2009

I contracted Sophia for a  full time Rome guide for 2 days -3 years ago and my clients came back with astounding raves on the guide. The following year Sophia’s guide took clients and their families on a day guide (from the ship) in Rome and Florence. They wanted to take both guides HOME with them-they were so fabulous.
I have used Sophia for hotels as well.
This year I talked my agent to use Sophia for her clients who wanted to spend 3 hours in the Vatican Museum.  Yes, more expensive than  the cruise, but they took the tour. Sophia had a history/archeologist guide take care of them.  Results:  “It was worth every penny”

I had 2 daughters with their over 85 yr mother (on a cruise) Rome and Florence-for 1 full day in each of the 2 port.  The mother called to tell me how wonderful and “Perfect” and their knowledge of art and the artists was,  I advised Sophia, the mother is an artist and her dream was to see the Vatican, Uffizzi and the Academia, cathedrals of both areas etc. She advised she would never have been able to hear nor ask questions if she was on a tour bus.

If you need guides, you can be assured you will have nothing but “wow” comments from your clients

No, this is not a Paid advertisement- but when someone has a great product, You all should be aware of it,  I am not interested in “saving” $100 by going with Mr. X from Italy who advertises on the web as I know the quality of guides she has at her fingertips.

She had them across the continents.

Kate from Prestige Travel Group, a client - family for Thailand, 2008

Just had to share – I sent very good clients (but tough and particular ones) on a family trip to Thailand – 2 adults and 2 teens with Sophia's Travel

They went over New Year’s and it was a very custom trip with stops in Bangkok, internal flights, Chang Mai with elephant riding etc, etc.

My client reported in today and they had a fabulous time! Everything went so well and they felt so taken care of. But the best was – they went to a special dinner and Thai Cultural Show the last night since they had a 1 am flight home.
The husband (sorry guys) lost one of the 4 passports but they didn’t know it until they got to the airport – long story short – he left with one of the daughters and their guide who had stayed with them all the way to the airport to be sure they got off safely, took the wife back to where the show was held with the daughter whose passport was missing. The theatre was closed, she got it unlocked, got assistance in the 2000 seat theatre to find the passport and rushed them back – and they made their flight with 2 minutes to spare!

If they had been without this wonderful guide they wouldn’t have made it home. The story gave me goosebumps, so I had to share.

I have had such success with using Sophia for trips to Europe but this was my first for an exotic location. She’s been a great resource.

(I can’t wait to post the elephant pictures on my testimonial page of my web-site)
 

Arlene R from Toledo, OH June, 2008

Switzerland & Southern France (French Riviera).
This has been our second time booking with E & M Travel.  Sophia has been an excellent person to work with on our vacation plans, and we would continue to work with her on future tours.  We took a Tauck guided tour of Switzerland.  Our accommodations were superb, the hotels were great and our tour guide, Karen was very knowledgeable about Switzerland.  My husband and I enjoyed beautiful scenery, lush mountains, and interesting sites such as riding a cogwheel train up to the Mt. Matterhorn (Teddy Roosevelt climbed), and Mt. Jungfraujoch, the Ice Palace (made out of a glacier which we walked on). We visited many cities such as Zermatt, St. Moritz (we viewed the most beautiful scenery), Interlaken, Bern, Lucerne and had a side trip to Italy where we stayed at Lake Lugano.  We had a beautiful balcony overlooking the harbor. The Swiss trains are punctual and clean.  We rode the famous Glacier Express with big panoramic windows where we were able to view waterfalls, tiny alpine villages and glaciers.  We finished our tour in Lucerne and traveled on a train to Basel, which we connected to the Basel airport by bus (very easy to do) to catch an EasyJet plane to Nice. We spent time in Monaco. We saw the market, palace, took a city tour, and the buses made it very easy to get around Monaco.  It is very hilly and there are lifts to take from different levels which is helpful. In  Nice we took a half day tour to Cannes (The film festival area for the celebrities) and our tour guide took us to the synagogue there. There was a Bat Mitzvah going on.  The Cannes synagogue was beautiful. We also saw Antibes (we drove along the beautiful coast and saw the harbor filled with big yachts and fine sandy beaches).  Our last stop was St. Paul de Vence, a quaint village with narrow winding streets, vaulted alleyways, and shopping arcades. This village is noted for painters such as Marc Chagall.  We returned to our hotel SAS Raddison where there was a wonderful pool on the roof overlooking the French Rivera beach. Our trip was wonderful and we thank Sophia for helping us arrange these fine places and working on the fine details to make it an enjoyable trip for us.   

A group of students from Brooklyn, NY, Shakespeare trip to London, April 2008

This was the second year that Sophia booked our trip to London and Stratford upon Avon for a group of eleven students studying Shakespeare. Of course, we returned to Sophia because of her professional and efficient abilities. Planning school group trips is hard because there are so many different demands -- but Sophia was amazingly patient and compliant throughout.  The trip was a huge success - the students learned a lot and had a wonderful time at the sites and with the guides.  I would recommend Sophia to any student group -- she does all the legwork. Once again, thank you!

Michael and Jan B., IL, trip to Russia, September 2007

Dear Sophia,

My husband and I very much appreciate all your efforts to make our trip to Russia a wonderful experience.   We had a great time!

Excellent guides and drivers made it possible for us to see the entire itinerary we had scheduled before our visit.  (Luck with traffic conditions also helped a little.)   The guides were extremely knowledgeable, energetic and enthusiastic.  The drivers were dignified and helpful.

Your help in the planning of our trip was indispensable.  Thank you for your advice and for all the important information you passed on to us.  We will highly recommend you to friends! 
Sincerely yours,
Jan and Michael B.

Kevin M, from CA, Family of 6 , private tours in Paris and Normandy and apartment in Paris, August 2007

Everything went perfect!!!   The Paris and Normandy tour guides were excellent.   My youngest son got to stand right in front of the Mona Lisa by himself because the tour guide knew that kids were allowed in front of the ropes.   Thank you for all your help.  I would highly recommend you to anyone!!

Pilgrimage to Rome for visually impaired person, August 2007

Thanks, Sophia.  All went well.  The driver, the guides and the hotel staff were out of this world.  The guides, Gregory on Saturday and Keiron on Sunday, were exceptional.  They went out of their way to take me to the places I was interested in, as well as to others that were not on my programme but which they thought I'd like to visit. Their knowledge of art, of Rome and of the churches was fantastic.  Gregory worked overtime on Saturday in order to take me to a Mass in St Peter's.  Please tell Vatican Tours and the Dei Mellini Hotel that I was more than happy with their service.  At the hotel, Michaela and especially Giuseppe were tremendous.  Thank you also for your help and organisation. Kind regards. BvR

Lejfer Family Heritage trip to Lithuania, Ukraine and Central Europe, July 2007 - Read this incredible story.

Group of 12 people from NJ, private cruise excursions in Turkey, Bucharest and Sochi (Black Sea), July 2007

I just wanted to thank you for organizing such great guided tours for us.  We really enjoyed every one of the guides.  However, I did want to specifically site the guide and treatment we got from Mehmet in Istanbul.  Their treatment and response was incredible and exceptionally professional.  We will definitely recommend them to our friends in the future.  Their guide, Ami, was excellent, knowledgeable, accommodating and exceedingly pleasant.

Abe

We thoroughly enjoyed our incredible voyage visiting such ports of great interest and historical significance along the Black Sea. The tours that you arranged for us were outstanding and the guides were extremely well versed, knowledgeable, and most accommodating. It truly made our trip most enjoyable and memorable. I want to thank you for all of your efforts in creating such a wonderful experience for our group. I will certainly recommend your agency to others and look forward to working with you again in planning future excursions.

Best regards, Joy 

Michael and Rosann Petrizzi. from NY, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Paris June 2007

Hi Sophia,
Our trip was wonderful with much credit and thanks to you. I apologize for not getting in touch with you sooner; but, in any event, everything went extremely well.
FYI: *The London people were excellent in correcting the Prague transfer.
* Drivers were prompt, professional, and courteous.
* Your idea of plane + train transfer (as opposed to just train) was great.
*Even beyond the weak dollar, Zurich prices are off the charts (Ex: $34 for 1 coffee and 2 expresso)
* I agree w a Fodor's review that 2 star accommodations in Prague are a step or two below 2 star accomodations in most other European countries.
* Our Prague tours wound up as personal ones as we were the only clients-lucky us!
* The Museum of Communism in Prague is terrific. The fact it's located in a tourist area (next to a Mc Donald's) shouldn't deter people with a bent towards this topic.

I thnk the best compliment I can pay you, Sophia,  is that you were able to sense our needs and accomodate accordingly-all via phone and email!

I have recommended you with great enthusiasm to others and will be in touch when it's time for our next trip. Thanks again. Michael

Lisa S, NC, family of 4, Private 9 day Harry Potter Tour from London

Hi Sophia:
We had a great time, though I think we need a vacation from our vacation we went so many places!   Our guide, David Ambrose, was very informative as well as flexible.   I'd do a couple of things differently, if I had it to do again, but overall, we loved it.  Thanks.
Lisa

Michelle and Pamela from NY and IN, trip to Italy May-June 2007

Pamela and I had a terrific time in Italy and all of the hotels you secured for us were great!  Each of them was in a terrific location and met our expectations.  Given you hadn’t used several of these hotels before we put together a few thoughts/comments on each of them given our experience. We hope it will help you with future clients!

Thanks again for all of your help! Michelle

VENICE: Palazzo Salvadego: Great location, right off St. Mark’s Piazza. Small hotel. Modern, recently redone. Very nice sized room and clean. Continental breakfast (muffins and rolls) is provided at Hotel Monaco right on the Grand Canal. There is a great view of all the Gondolas lining up and taking passengers – fantastic scene to watch while eating breakfast.

CINQUE TERRE: La Sosta. Great bed and breakfast – only four rooms and great attention to the guests. Very spacious and clean room. Owners were extremely helpful on what do to in the area. Hotel is VERY, VERY, VERY difficult to find – guests should be sure to get directions from the hotel prior as it is hard to find once there. A car is almost a necessity as the hotel sits on top of the mountain between Levanto and Monterosso – taxi’s can take you to the cities for about 15 Euros each way.

FLORENCE: Palazzo Raspoli. We were bumped from our hotel our first night there and were put up at the Fenice in a really, really crappy room. It is supposedly a four star hotel but we were in a room on the lower level that was dirty, dark, small, etc.  It was an extremely bad experience and our hotel was not able to do anything for us to compensate. Very disappointing. Once in our hotel room the experience was very positive. Staff was extremely helpful. Rooms are very spacious and clean, however the hotel as a whole, rooms included need a face lift. Linens, etc need to be cleaned, walls could use a paint job, etc.  It looks worn. Very nice breakfast and breakfast room. Downfall: Hotel is right in front of the bus stop so it gets congested. Also not ideal for coming home in the evening as a key is required to get in the front door – a bit tricky of a door to open and then people are gathered right there for the bus.

ROME: Locanda Scenatorium. Great location and hotel. Very modern, and clean rooms. Room was the smallest one we had but manageable. All the other rooms seemed to be a bit more spacious than ours. No lift and a lot of stairs to take luggage up! The included breakfast is average at best – clients are given a voucher for a beverage and croissant at the local café and the quality is not so great.  

Brenda N from Greenwich, CT, trip to Egypt, May 2007

My trip was wonderful.  My only wish is that it was longer.  Everyone there was so great and all the transfers went smoothly.  Thank you so much for recommending them to me as I have recommended Isram World to others.

I'm thinking that my next vacation sometime next year will be the Grand Canyon, Greece or the Galapagos.  If you have any suggestions, I'm definitely open.

Thanks again,
Brenda

Student group from Brooklyn, NY for a Shakespeare trip to London , December 2006

Dear Sophia,
Thank you for the really wonderful job that you did arranging all of the details for our England Shakespeare trip. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned out and we had wonderful guides in all the places that we visited. My students learned tons about Shakespeare and London through first-hand visits and experiences.  Your hard work and patience definitely made the trip a success!

Mr. & Mrs. H.E, NJ , Private Jewish Heritage Tour to Turkey

First we'd like to thank your for making all the arrangements, and for making sure that we had good guides who were able to enhance the experience. We had a very good trip.  Turkey is a remarkable place for tourists- it has just about everything one would want- history, entertainment, spectacular scenery, friendly people, good weather and more.  We were very happy that we finally made the trip- we were thinking about it for a long time.  

Every city we visited had something different to offer us, and we took advantage of all we could.  Our days were packed with things to do all day.  We returned back to the hotel tired but happy.  We especially enjoyed Ephesus and Cappadocia.  We had no idea how interesting these places could be.  Our guides were very good, accommodating and willing to makes changes we desired, and you can inform Mr. Dervis of this.  Sardis was so-so.  We especially were happy to have Jewish guides in Istanbul and Izmir.  Since they were knowledgeable about the Jewish communities and synagogues, we were able to visit many synagogues and places of Jewish interest in both cities.  Without them we would never have gotten into the synagogues since security is very tight and people just cannot arrive unannounced and expect to be allowed in to visit them. 

The only thing I would change in the itinerary was our visit to Ankara.  Although our half -day tour was interesting and we did get a glimpse of Ankara, the 4-hour boring drive to Cappadocia from there was too much.  It would have been better to skip Ankara and fly from Istanbul early in the AM directly to Cappadocia (Kayseri airport).  We would then still have 1 1/2 days in Cappadocia, which is sufficient to see everything and would have cut out 1 day from the trip.  Our guide in Cappadocia was also very good.

Our hotel in Istanbul was great.  We arrived to Istanbul in the PM and our room overlooked the city.  All the mosques and other buildings were lighted and the scene was breathtaking.  It also was a very nice, very well run hotel.  Breakfast was outstanding. The hotel in Izmir was fair- acceptable.  However the cave hotel in Cappadocia was not satisfactory.  It certainly was not a 4 star hotel- not by a long shot.  The experience of sleeping in a cave was interesting but we could have easily missed the experience.  The breakfast was stingy.  The personnel, however, were very nice and accommodating.  

One thing we'd like to add for your information when you book other tourists on trips to Turkey.  We did not want to carry too much cash so we used ATM machines, and they were available, albeit one had to search for them.  We also took American Express traveler's checks, and that was a disaster.  We were unable, for some mysterious reason, to cash them anywhere we visited in Turkey.  Even the banks did not accept them.  We cashed some in our first hotel (at a poor rate) but the other hotels would not cash them or would only if they charged an exorbitant.  However, we might have been able to pay for large purchases with checks.  If you pay in US dollars you get a better rate than if you pay by credit cards.  Very few places take American Express- Visa or Mastercard are preferred.

Thanks again for your effort in putting the trip together.  We know it took a lot of work on your part.  It was a pleasure working with you again.

Foster-Chan family from CA (2 adults, 2 children - 3,4 years old). Private tour to  to Greece

June 30^th, 2006  
Dear Sophia, 
Our family would like to thank you for your excellent help in planning our recent vacation trip to Greece.  We loved Greece and everything about the trip was wonderful including the people of Greece, the places we visited, and last but not least, the amazing Greek food we couldn’t get enough of! 

Our family has traveled throughout the world and quite frankly our trip to Greece was one of the best vacations we have ever experienced.   The special care to ensure our accommodations were “just right” and also the dedication and patience you took to plan the trip were admirable.   You were thoroughly attuned to our special needs especially since we were traveling with children and your knowledge of Greece and islands really was an enormous help to us as we began to plan and finalize this vacation.  We loved the tours you secured for us throughout our Greece adventure and are still talking about the beautiful scenery and historical sites we saw during our visit to this amazing country.

We are so fortunate to have worked with you and consider you a gracious and extremely proficient travel professional.

Our family would recommend your services to anyone who is seeking travel planning.  You are the best Sophia!  

Sincerely yours, The Foster-Chan family

The hotel in Beaune Le Cedre was fantastic.  Thanks for your help with booking this hotel.  The staff were very friendly, the location perfect and the hotel facilities were great

Ester H., August, 2005. Trip to Lithuania

I have not replied to you sooner, we had a wonderful trip.  The guide is Vilna was not who you had assigned but it was a lovely woman name Tamar, she was great and it was a fantastic experience.  Thank you for all your help.  Esther

John P, UK, August 2005, Da Vinci Code Tour, Paris

The tour was very good especially in the Louvre as I don’t think without Delphine you could put together the scene of the murder etc.

Arlene from OH, June 2005, Paris, Rome and Central Europe.
(Editor's note: Alex is in Prague - our local support office)

I would like to share our trip with you.  It was fantastic.  You did a nice and thorough job planning for us. Let's start with Paris. Adventure tours, we had an Evening illumination cruise which was lovely.  The next day we had a full day tour for three of us.

Now eastern Europe. You did a nice job planning our trip.  The hotels were fine, the transfers were almost fine. The sightseeings were almost fine too.   The drivers all met us at the stations and picked us up okay except in Prague.  It was pouring rain.  We waited for the driver who never showed up at the train station.  We tried to call Alex.  We ended up taking a taxi to the Ramada.   Alex did reimburse us for the taxi.  This was the only bad problem with our transportation. 

In Budapest July 5 our tour guide never showed.  We called Alex many times.  So, we bought a Budapest card and went on the metro and trolley to the Gellert baths. The next day Alex found us a tour.  This was fine.  We enjoyed Budapest.

In Vienna, more rain.  We went to the Schrombrunn castle, toured the Vienna Opera House.  We also were surprised when we got to our hotel to see your thoughtfulness. You sent my husband a bottle of wine and a nice note for his birthday. Thank you.  We went out for my husband's birthday to the Strauss Musical with some ballet.  Afterwards, next door was the Strauss restaurant and had a fine dinner.  We celebrated birthday with Strauss in Vienna.  Also, did some shopping in the rain.

Prague we enjoyed very much.  Alex knew our schedule very well. He was nice to work with. We just had a few time schedule problems.

You sent us good information before we left on the cities, currency, and language information. Thank you it was helpful.  We enjoyed your plans and would use your tavel service again if we took another vacation.  We would also inform other people of your services. We were glad you sent us Alex's cell number and numbers.  We needed to use them.  I enjoyed working with you. 

Linda F., CT,  Paris and South of France, June - July 2005

We enjoyed our vacation very much. The train to Paris was lovely. I did have a problem with the luggage when we left for Nice. Easy Jet charged me about $500.00 for extra baggage weight!  It would have been the same amount of money to fly Air France. Live and learn!!

The Marignan was nice. Friendly people and a great location.  It went by so fast that I never Had a chance to take the girls to the left bank. Next time.

The Carlton was fantastic. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.  The hotel was beautiful, The people were very friendly and accommodating. There wasn’t anything that I would complain About my stay there; except the euro!!  It cost about $25.00 for a Belini on the beach. (but worth it). We were able to rent a car and go to San Remo for lunch, Monte Carlo for dinner, and stop off at the Palace in Monaco. I drove to Grasse and stopped in the village of Mougins. I loved it. I felt comfortable and safe. We took a boat over to St Margarite Island and another one to St. Tropez.  The food was delicious everywhere we dined. I was so please that everyone was so friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to book my next trip there.

My only disappointment was the last night. Leaving the Carlton and taking a taxis to the Negresco cost About $130.00. They charged me 77 euros for a cot; which the Carlton didn’t do. The people were nice.  But I am happy that it was only the night.  I was told that it would cost about 30 euros for the taxi to the Airport; it was another $130.00!!!!!!  I felt that I was being taken advantage of . We would have been better off staying our last night in Cannes. 

Thank you so much for all of your help; especially that it was last minute

Steve.H., Ohio- private tours in Turkey, Oct 2005, Black Sea Cruise

Kate and I wish to thank you again for arranging the tours in Istanbul and Kusadasi. I am enclosing a copy of the letter  we sent to Mehmet. Not only did he personally conducted our tour of Istanbul, he also called us in Kusadasi to ensure that we were properly taken care of on our visit. He is an outstanding person and a top ambassador for Turkey! Your entire handling of our excursions from the first call to you and after return follow up has left us with a very pleasant and positive feeling. We will be recommending your company to fellow travelers and will be looking forward to another opportunity to use your services ourselves.

Norman and Adele A., NJ, August 2004, Private tour of Russia (Moscow and St. Petersburg)

Thanks to you and your organizations our trip to Russia was without equal.  Everything was organized perfectly and Adele and I will be happy to recommend E&M Travel and Interactive Russia in the future. 

Just one thought.  We were not comfortable with the night train between the two cities.  An airplane trip would have worked better especially since we were unable to sleep on the train and when we arrived in St. Petersburg we had to sit in the lobby from 6:00 am to 10:00 am because no room was available.  Saving a night's hotel wasn't worth losing the night's sleep.

We thought the Radisson Hotel in St. Petersburg worked well.  Our room was fine(heated tiles in the bathroom), its location is excellent, and the price was fair.  The National in Moscow, of course, is one of the best.

We were highly impressed with the Interactive Russia staff.  The guides in both cities were outstanding and the drivers most professional.  They did everything they could to make our trip enjoyable.  Elana, Anna and Svetlana were a delight. Thanks much for your help to make our trip a success.

Chris M.  and family from VA. August 2003, Spain. Hotel Conquistador in Cordoba, AVE speed train.

The train was terrific.  I have never been on a better one.  Club car was great.  Our kids loved it.  The Conquistador was ok, but while they claim to have air conditioning, it doesn't work.  Our room registered 30 degreed C.  When I told them about it, they said it was working.  The lobby had good air conditioning.  Anyway, it was very well located and for one night was quite adequate.  Overall, it was a great trip.  We enjoyed Spain a lot.  Thank you for your help.

4 Ladies from NY and MA went on a cooking trip in March 15-22, 2003. It took some negotiations to make this tour happen and eventually ladies went and had a great time.

We loved everything about our visit to Italy. Everbody at Malvarina was a delight. We are so happy it all came together.  

It was great!! We loved Maria, her family, especially our translator Phillipo and his friend and our guide, Pepe Bambini. Umbria is spectacular! I've never seen so many unspoiled medieval walled cities. And of course, Maria's food was great! We even had a surprise snowstorm Sunday night.  Thanks so much for everything!
