Dear EuropeanDestinations, We had a wonderful time, and feel lucky to have come upon your web site. I did a lot of shopping around, and your web site was the most flexible. It allowed us to select our departure and return dates, hotel, and transportation between cities, while keeping a running tally of the costs. It was by far the most satisfying site we came across. It`s really first class, and believe me, I really looked. Going to Europe is very expensive these days, so it was something we wanted to get just right. We went through multiple scenarios on your site before we bought, and we were able to do research on all of the hotels you recommended. We didn`t always take your first recommendation, and we appreciated having a choice. We used three different computers at the same time to research your recommendations, and we are certain we got the best deal and the best value. Of the hotels we visited, we most highly recommend the Hotel Delle Muse in Rome, even though the accommodations were probably the plainest among the three. It`s in a quiet part of the city -- residential and lush with trees and gardens -- while within a short walk of the Villa Borghese. The staff was lovely; the accommodations were clean and spacious enough for our party of three; there was free internet (including computers you could use free of charge); the air conditioning worked well (no small thing in a Roman summer); there was a balcony where we could dry the few items of clothing that we had hand washed; and the free breakfasts were great. One night in our four day stay we dined there under the grape arbors and had a very nice, reasonably priced dinner with impeccable service. Rome was our favorite city of the three we visited for many reasons, and our wonderful experience at the hotel helped. The Diana Park Hotel in Florence was good. After an initial frostiness, the staff seemed to warm up. Florence was "booked up" so the staff seemed a little harried, yet they turned out to be very gracious. Our room was the most lovely (in terms of decoration, furnishings, construction, etc.) of the three hotels we visited. Again, it was a bit "out of the way" which meant it was a 15-minute walk to the center of town. We had our best dinner of the trip (which is saying something) at a restaurant recommended by one of the desk clerks. The proprietor of the Ristorante Boccaccio went out of his way to introduce us to each dish on his Tuscan menu. All three of us (included our teenaged son) found something to delight him or her. In Venice, we picked the Hotel Bisanzio in order to be in the center of things. It`s only a few minutes from San Marco and the Doge`s Palace -- the nexus of all tourist activity -- yet it was quiet, cool, and private. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast wait staff. They made us tasty coffee to go along with the wonderful breakfasts. The decor of the hotel is very pleasing, although the common rooms can be a bit warm. The rooms are cool enough, though, if you crank up the A/C. Our room was overlooking an ancient well in a courtyard which had walls decorated with reliefs of such scenes as St. George and the dragon. On July 13, a storm came up, with wind, rain, and large hail. Quite a spectacle, and in its aftermath, residents of the buildings around the courtyard threw open their windows to chat with one another -- a vigorous, Italian conversation with many emphatic gestures about what had just occurred. Priceless! As regards our transfers, we took the Eurostar from Rome to Florence and from Florence to Venice. Both trips were hassle-free and one of the things we enjoyed most about the trip. Our ride from Rome to Florence was especially scenic, as we enjoyed the views of villages on hill tops. Anyone who loves trains would be over the moon about those high-speed trips, as well as the pleasures of seeing and meeting people who are foreign, yet not so much different from ourselves. I could write a whole lot more about the trip, but in short, it was a great trip. Everything your web site promised was delivered on time and at exactly the price quoted. Frankly, I had been sceptical, but all was as it should be. I`ve already recommended you to several of our friends. Regards, Harold W.

Our trip was fantastic, you folks really made it easy for us to choose how we wanted our trip to work.
In Rome our hotel was great, we stayed at the Delle Vittorie, they were my second favorite hotel as far as charm, character and friendliness goes... the staff was kind and the location was perfect for us. It seemed to be off the beaten tourist path so local dining and cafe`s were very affordable, for example .60 cents for an espresso at a table instead of the usual 2.50 in the touristy areas. The hotel was not far from the Metro which got us almost anywhere we wanted for cheap, the places the metro couldn`t go we happily walked. My feet are still sore, Rome is huge!!! hehehe...
While in Florence we stayed at San Giorgio and Olympic, they were my most favorite hotel as far as charm, character and friendliness goes. The staff was very very helpful and friendly and made a point to remember us. Kristen and I were married while we were in Florence (the main reason for our trip). The hotel gave us their best room (complete with a balcony and a city view facing the Duomo) on our wedding night. They did this for no charge (other than the tip i slipped the concierge) which i thought was very generous of them, i loved this hotel. Location was perfect, walking distance to everything we wanted to see. Plus we were a stones throw to the train station which was very convent for our connection to Venice.
We will most defiantly and have already shown friends your website. The services you offer are incredible and simplify traveling in Europe. I guess you can call it a one stop shop for Flights, Trains and Hotels. We will defiantly be using your services for our next vacation. thank you so much.

Our vacation to Europe (Italy) was phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Iberia Airlines was fine carrier and handled our missed connection in Madrid (there was a fuel spill at Dulles that delayed our departure) professionally and had us out the door in an hour and half.
Hotels: The Palladium Palace was fine. The breakfast was really good and it was in a good location that allowed us to get around, eat, and make it to the train with little difficulty.
Residences of S. Niccolo in Florence was a nice apartment. Compared to the relatively small room in the Paladium Palace it gave us a great opportunity to spread out a bit. We enjoyed it and it would certainly be the place to stay in you were going to be in Florence for an extended period.
Hotel Gardena - the absolute best of the group. Tremendous staff, comfortable rooms, helpful with tours, information and really go out of their way to help their guests. I can not offer them enough praise. If we get back to Venice we will most assuredly try to stay at the Hotel Gardena. In conjunction with the nice room and excellent staff, they also are across the Canal from the Train Station and a short walk to the bus station for the trip back to the airport. We absolutely loved the Hotel Gardena.
We have been recommending European Destinations to friends as well. We have been pleased with the two trips we have booked with you and will use European Destinations again in the future.

We were very pleased with the service that your travel agency provided. The professionalism with which your representative, Gina, handled the arrangements for airplane travel, train travel, and hotels, insured that all went smoothly and added to the enjoyment of the trip. We will highly recommend your website to family, friends, and business asoiciates who are contemplating traveling abroad.
The hotels we stayed in were excellent: Rome-Hotel Diplomatic, Via Vittoria Colonna Florence- Hotel Calzaiuoli, Via Calzaiuoli 6 (concierge-Nicola was especially attentive to our needs) Venice-Hotel Colombina, Calle del Remedio, Castello (concierge-Marco was very attentive to our needs)
All three hotels were centrally located near many of the important sites in each city, thus making it easy to walk to most sites of interest.

To Whom it may concern, I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about our experience a couple of weeks ago in Italy. It was WONDERFUL!! After booking we received our travel package in a timely manner and it was well organized. The flights were great and when we arrived in Rome our driver was waiting to pick us up. We thought we were lucky,...yet, this happened in every city with every car. Drivers were consistently on time and when we were picked up at our hotels they were often a half hour early (WOW) The hotels were gorgeous and each concierge was more helpful than the next providing lots of information and guidance. They even helped us make phone calls and numerous reservations. At one point we needed to call your company to have a car changed the night before and everything was "not a problem." My three friends and I work in retail where customer satisfaction is so important. While it is hard for us to be blown away, we were by the great service that European Destinations provided. Thank you for making our week in Italy so memorable and relaxing!! We have already given the website to others and will continue to pass along your information. Thank you again!

Our vacation was fantastic. All the hotels were great - all three staffs were very helpful and gracious, and all three rooms are lovely. Notably, and I`m sure you already know this, the River, althougha little farther out from the center of Florence (although not inconvenient at all), seemed pretty luxurious - we had a really large and fancy room. Also, the staff at our hotel in Rome was particularly good, and a couple of rooms in that hotel come with little balconies. The hotel is a little far out from the center of rome, but you can still walk into the city center, and there are busses that go just about everywhere in a square right around the corner, and the nearest train station isn`t far at all. We really did have a wonderful vacation and felt like we got a really good deal for everything we received. Thanks! Grey

I was very impressed with the entire package and would highly recommend it to friends (from the perspective of value and convenience). One specific recommendation that I would make is to offer transfer from Airports/Train Stations to and from hotels as an option within the packages. Great service, we will definitely use it again. Specific Feedback on Providers:
Air France was amazing, much better than US carriers Le Petit Hotel in Rome was excellent. Great location, solid internet connection, clean room, the room was tiny though. Alba hotel in Florence was great, nice room, nice internet, fairly good location. Leon d`Oro in Venice was nice as well, it was a mile walk from the ground transfer off the island, but the reception and support staff was very helpful and accommodating. Train transfers were as expected, though seats were not next to each other. Thanks, Jon G.

| My parents are in their sixties and have never been overseas in their life. I have to admit that since I have never used your website, I was very nervous to book a trip for the first time with my parents. However, we could have not been more happy or had a better trip. First of all, your website is the easiest website I have found to book overseas trips. I was able to select the cities I wanted, how many days in each city, and what type of transportation I wanted in between cities. The fact that I could personalize the trip meant a lot to me and my family. The hotels we stayed at, the train seats, and the flights were all perfect. Several times, I found myself commenting to my parents on how wonderful a job the website did in setting everything up. I am an avid traveler, and this was my third trip to these three cities in Italy. Of all my trips, this was the easiest and most enjoyable one I have been on - thanks to your website. I will recommend and have already recommended your website to my friends. | Trip Cost: $4,481.30 for 3 people.

The trip to Rome, Florence and Venice was amazing. Our pick-up at the airport was very effective, and we loved all the bullet trains. Our rooms were gorgeous in Florence and Venice, and we are very happy we went with higher level hotel choices. We were particularly happy with Ca` dei Conti in Venice. The weather was cool and brisk, just right for me, and it always rained when we were inside museums, so we never used our umbrellas. The tour of the Vatican museums was wonderful and our guide was amazing.
We have already recommended you to several of our friends. Your service was very professional, and ever detail was well taken care of. We will definitely be returning to your company for more travel.

To Whom it May Concern
Thank you all for a well planned vacation. I would recommend your company without hesitation. I felt good prior to our trip. I had concerns and called the main office. The staff was on point and helpful. I have dealt with other companies and have had problems and conflicts. I expressed this to an agent in your office before I booked and she was able to assure me that I would not have the same problems. Once again "Thank You" I will be looking to us European Destinations in the future.

We will definately recommend European Destinations to our friends. The complete package price was very reasonable for what we got (round-trip air, hotel, train and all taxes).

I`ve never used a travel agent or package deal sort of vacation provider because I always thought that it would be more expensive, and I don`t mind booking my own trips. But when I researched and compared European Destinations` prices and options to everything else, they just came out ahead. Their website was informative and easy to use, and their operators were very helpful. My mother, two friends and I booked a relatively low cost trip to Italy, and we had a really amazing time. We were a little concerned that the hotels we chose in our budget might not be very nice and/or safe, but we were pleasantly surprised in each city. European Destinations made everything incredibly easy and seamless. We had no problems at all with the airline tickets, hotels, or trains that European Destinations reserved for us, and in fact were amazed at how expensive some of our hotel rooms were normally - made us feel like we got an ever better deal! In addition, the hotel staff in each city was very nice and helpful, and we were even able to change our room assignments just days ahead of time. The most impressive was the Hotel Scandinavia in Venice - it was just so rich and beautiful, and the location was perfect. Overall, the trip was wonderful, and I am confident that booking through European Destinations saved us a great deal of money and stress.

We loved it!!! It was a perfect time in each city--absolutely Magnifico!! The hotels were all very comfortable, clean and in great locations. The trains were very comfortable and fast! It was an adventure finding the trains, figuring where to get on the right train, etc. but we survived! Warn everyone in Rome if they take the Metro--tickets are only good for 75 min once theyare validated on the bus--we found out the hard way and though tthey were good all day and ended up with a $50 Euro penalty each for expired tickets--that was our first day in Rome--we walked everywhere else in town after that!! It was great though--what a wonderful experience it all was--the people, the history, the food---fantastic!! Anything else is you need--let me know--yes we would and already have recommended you to others!!

Hello: We, my wife and I, were very pleased with our trip to Italy. Our hotels were clean, the staff friendly, breakfast OK. The hotel ARS in Rome was out of city centre, but could use a bus for a 20 minutes ride to main terminal (Termini). The hotel in Florence Orcagna was not very close downtown, 15 minutes walking. Location of Donna Palace Hotel in Venice was great. Transfers were good, air transport (Air France) was very good, Eurotrain was good. (In our way back, 17OCT07 AF038, we have a four and a half hours delay in Paris, they had to change the plane due to computer problems). I highly recommend my friends to make their travel arrangements with EuropeanDestinations.
Sincerely yours.

Overall, we were very pleased with with the trip, and with the service we received from EuropeanDestinations. Just a few comments: 1) The transfer from the Rome airport to the hotel was hellish. It was very hard to find the transport companies booth in the airport, and the process of the transfer was long and confused. If I had to do it again, I would absolutely have taken the train from the airport into Termini Station instead. 2) The tour to Pompeii was very nice, with the exception of the stop that they make at a cameo "factory". It would have been nice to have more time at Pompeii, instead of being marched through a store (outrageously expensive too!). 3) The hotel in Florence, the Albergo Firenze was spartan, and VERY NOISY. Perfectly clean, and adequate for no-frills sleeping, but the noise all day and night was amazing. In the daytime, very loud rap music and really dramatic domestic disputes in the courtyard. At night, noise in the hallway and from other rooms. Part of this is because there isn`t a shred of carpet in the whole place to muffle sound... linoleum everywhere. I would not stay there again. 4) The hotel in Rome, the Montecarlo, was very nice and the staff were helpful and responsive. It`s a little out of the way, but I would stay there again without a qualm. 5) The hotel in Venice, La Forcola, was very, very nice. It has a very warm, cozy feel to it and I would recommend it to anyone. I would definitely recommend you to my friends. Lou Anne Jaeger | Trip cost: $4,822.13 for 2 people.

Good Morning, We had a wonderful time on our vacation and can`t thank you enough for all the help you provided in arranging it so we good use our timeshare in Venice. Our concerns about departing from Marco Polo airport in Venice from the Lido Jessolo were unneeded as we used the bus system to get to the airport rather than travel across the lagoon. All our flights were fine except for the 2 hour delay on the tarmac in Philadelphia. All other arrangements, hotels, transfers and tours were very good. We will certainly contact you again when next raveling and have already recommended you to some friends. Thanks for the follow-up.

The hotels were pretty good. Adler Cavalieri in Rome was in a very good location. The room was sparse...not luxurious, but the bathroom was clean and in great condition. They also offered a great breakfast. The staff wasn`t that friendly, but we found that Italians are just not as nice as Americans. The Florence hotel (can`t remember the name) was decent. Also in a great location. But we had a downstairs room that was extremely, extremely noisy. The rooms had beautiful hardwood floors, but that meant we could hear every footstep made by the neighbors upstairs. We could also hear all the plumbing all night long and the maid`s start cleaning at a ridiculous hour. The room was also extremely tiny, but the bathrrom was very clean. The breakfast was also pretty good. The Kette in Venice was OK. We were given the tiniest room in the hotel, probably because we booked through the tour, but we had a canal view and were able to enjoy the gondoliers and the opera singers in the gondola. That was great. The bathroom was also clean and in good condition. The breakfast was not as good as the other two, but was decent. Also a good location...next to San Marcos square, but far away from the train station.

The website was very easy to understand, easy to use, and gave many different options for flights and hotels. It was the best way I found to book our flight and hotels in different cities all at once. We stayed first at the Domus Sessoriana in Rome. Our room was nice and clean and the bed was huge! Secondly, we stayed at the Hotel Nizza in Florence. It was very easy to find and the staff was also helpful. Finally, we stayed at the Hotel Scandinavia in Venice. It was located on the edge of a beautiful square, and there was a fruit stand right outside, which was nice. The room was very large, with a balcony to walk out on, and the bathroom and shower were large as well. It was well air-conditioned and we had immediate temperature control in our room. It was a great distance between sights as well, and the staff was also very helpful. It had the best breakfast of the three hotels. Our transfers between cities were fine, and the countryside was great to see. Overall, we had a great time, and it couldn`t have been much better. I will definitely recommend using your website to my friends (I already have!) because it was so convenient. I also really appreciated all of your email reminders as the trip got closer.
Thank you, Angela D.

In this email, I?ll focus on the hotels. The Domus Sessoriana in Rome?what a fascinating place! The room was big by European standards, with very nice furnishings and a big, beautiful bathroom. They offer a nice buffet breakfast. Hotel Spagna in Florence. I needed a hotel near the train station, and this one seemed okay on the Web.
