Dear
Jacqueline,
Just a quick note to let you know how much
we loved our excursion with Raffale on Sat.
Nov. 6th. What a wonderful young man
he is. For sure we will contact you
again when we once again plan another trip
to Italy and, hopefully we would be lucky
to have Raffaele as our guide/driver again. We
did everything we wanted to do along with
a short stop along the way to a very small
wine cellar in Montefollonico. What
a wonderful experience this was. Thanks
to Raffale. We were even able to buy
a couple of the wines while there. This
was like no other wine cellar we've ever
been to. We give Raffale the most highest
marks for our excursion and, we hope we will
be able to see him again. We truly
loved him and, everything he told us about
anything and, everything we wanted to know
about. You will for sure have us contact
you again when we once again go to Italy. We
are so happy we found your web-site!
Thank you for everything in helping us get
this excursion the way we liked.
Best Regards,
Linda & Dave Curran

Hi Jackie,
I am tardy
in getting a "thank you" off to
you but, my delay does not in any way diminish
the wonderful memories of our short but,
sweet trip to France.
Everything
was as clockwork and, our guide Angelo couldn't
have been more perfect for us. He is so
knowledgable in his history and brought to
life the period of the places and events
we visited. We got along famously and feel
that we made a friend along the way. Angelo
is a real gentleman and excellent guide.
I would (and have) recommended to those who
inquire about our trip, the services of Well
Arranged Travel and Angelo.
Thank
you, again and, we hope to have the good
fortune to use your services in the future.
Most sincerely,

Hi
Jackie:
Just wanted
to drop you a note to let you know that we
had a great experience with Well Arranged
Travel and would surely use your service
again.
We met our
first driver at CDG Airport right after we
picked up our luggage and he took us directly
to our hotel. A little conversation
that went along with the trip was fine.
On
Tuesday 8/24 Pierre picked us up at our hotel
and took us for our day touring the beaches
of Normandy. He was an absolute pleasure. So
much so
that
we used him the next day to do a tour around
Paris. He was terrific.
Hope to have
the opportunity to use Well Arranged Travel
again.
Thanks
for a wonder time.

Jacqueline,
Kathy & I
enjoyed our tours very much. We took four
tours, and all of the guides were knowledgeable,
friendly, and professional.
We especially
want to thank Jean-Michael LaFond, our
guide in Burgundy. We spent two full days
with him, and he took us to vineyards, wineries,
cellars, and tasting rooms. The second day,
we tasted 25 - 30 wines. He gave us a
real education on wine-making and tasting.
We'll always remember him.
We'll
definitely think of your company in the
future and recommend you to our friends.

Jacqueline:
Sorry it took
me so long to send you a report – but I have
been very, very busy at the office since
our return from France. First, we had a great
trip – and your part of the trip was the
highlight!
The driver
who picked us up at the Train Station in
Paris was very professional, well dressed,
polite, spoke excellent English, and was
waiting for us with a easy to read sign.
Our two days
in Burgundy were the trip highlight. Our
guide – Jean Michel Lafond – was simply unbelievable! We
were extremely fortunate to get him. I cannot
imagine how he could possibly have been any
better. He was thoughtful enough on
Sunday to contact our hotel in Beaune to
confirm our meeting time on Monday morning
and to let us know that everything was set.
We started at the shop run by Domaine de
l’Ange Gardine in Beune. We had
a very nice tasting with the owner and his
wife – a lovely couple. However, we
learned very quickly that tastings in Burgundy
are quite different from most tastings in
Napa. We tasted 10 different wines
at l’Ange Gardine. We had to
hustle thru that tasting in order to make
our appointment at Domaine Olivier Leflaive
in Puligny Montrachet. I think the French
just do things at a slower pace – which is
certainly fine when you are tasting so many
different wines.
Jean Michel
really added to the tastings by giving us
tips and making suggestions and pointing
out differences and similarities between
the various wines. We followed that
up with a nice tour at Domaine Olivier Leflaive. The
tour was conducted by Patrick Leflaive and
was followed by a lovely lunch tasting –
where we tasted 14 wines! The lunch
lasted a good 2.5 hours. The tour and tasting
were not as intimate as our tasting at l’Ange
Gardine, but were still very nice in large
part due to Jean Michel’s guidance
and comments. Jean Michel, Doug and
I then went “off script” to visit
some of the local wineries in Mersault that
Jean Michel knew – I think he felt comfortable
that Doug and I were very interested in the
wines and learning as much as we could about
Burgundy. We had a wonderful time and
got to spend some very nice, quality time
with these people. And, after spending
the day with Jean Michel, we felt comfortable
in telling him to feel free to change our
plans for the following day to suit our tastes
and the girls’ interests! It
could not have worked out better! We
started the day by touring the Grand Cru
vineyards and getting out to learn
a little more about the grapes, planting,
tending and harvesting. We even got
to visit two of the vineyards owned by the
people that we visited next for our tastings!
We stopped
at Chantal Remy’s home in Morey Saint
Denis. That was probably the highlight
of our entire trip! We did 2 barrel
tastings of their 2 grand cru wines, followed
by sharing 3 bottles with Chantal, her husband
and son. A lovely day that
would not have been possible but for Jean
Michel’s 30 year relationship with
the Remy family! We then had a lovely lunch
at a restaurant picked out by Jean Michel.
We then visited Gerard Quivy’s winery
– another friend of Jean Michel. We
were able to simply take the keys and tour
their cellars! Very fun.
We then got
to Dijon about 45 minutes before we needed
to get to the train station so Jean Michel
gave us a quick tour of some the major tourist
attractions in Dijon. He dropped us
off at the station with a bottle of wine
from his winery! It was a great 2 days
– I can’t begin to tell you all of
the wonderful things that Jean Michel did
for us. I would tell your guests that
if they feel comfortable with their guides,
they might want to allow their guide to make
suggestions. I know we deviated from
the schedule you had worked so hard to work
out for us, but that made our trip!
Day trip to
Champagne area. Our guide – Gigi –
was very professional, well-dressed, polite,
spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable
about French history and the area. He
was very accommodating and helpful to our
every request. We enjoyed our
tours at Moet & Chandon and Ruinart.
Bottom line,
when (not if) we go back, we will be definitely
using your services. Feel free to use
me as a reference if you need one in the
future for your Burgundy and Champagne tours! Thanks
again.

Hi
Ning
I'm
really remiss in not letting you know
sooner how our trip was. Whenever
we take a vacation, we have the "Ross
family vacation from hell." However,
this was our best
vacation ever! The drivers and guides
that we had were all amazing and we enjoyed
our time with them. Paolo and Raffaele,
in particular, were wonderful. They
went out of their way to make our time
in Italy great. We learned a lot,
had a lot of fun, and managed to relax. I
don't remember the name of the guide
at Pompeii, but he was just wonderful.
Your
suggestions to stay at the Hotel Rafael and
the Savoy were great. Both hotels were
wonderful, especially the Rafael. It's
location was perfect.
I think
we're planning on going back next year, so
when we do, I'll contact you for help again. Thanks
so much for making our trip so enjoyable!

Hi
Jacqueline - just a note to let you know
that our tour to Verona was wonderful. Raffaele
did a very good job and we have a really
fun time. The cheese plant tour and
Balsamic Vinegar tasting were really a
highlight to our trip and I wanted to let
you know that you really should offer these
things as a half day tour out of Florence
(maybe with lunch, we had an excellent
lunch (one of the best of our trip) at
Restaurant Tito on suggestion from Raffaele. The
people were very nice and the tours were
informative and tasty! Thanks for
again for assisting us with the arrangements. It
was a trip of a lifetime but we are all
very HAPPY to be HOME!

Hi
Jacqueline
I
have just returned from France – via Toronto
– and wanted to thank you so much for arranging
our tour of Versailles. Our tour guide Claude
was most pleasant and informative. Versailles
is much as I remembered it – with the exception
of the appalling crowds. I would pay a great
deal more to be in the company of a great
deal less humanity, but the gal I was traveling
with had never been there so it was a first
time experience for her.
In
any event, I do not recall ever seeing the
Grand and Petite Trianon’s so that
was a real bonus for me.
Thank
you for organizing this for us on such short
notice. It was greatly appreciated!

Hi
Jacqueline -
We have returned
and wanted to let you know how happy we were
with our Paris tour guide Jean and our day
trip to Versailles and Giverny! It
was a really great day and everything worked
out beautifully. Jean was very knowledgeable
and easy to be with so we would definitely
recommend you to our friends.
My
husband and I are planning a trip to Italy
in November. I noticed on your website
that you offer private tours to Italy as
well. We have been to Italy several
times and are looking for a guide to do some
wine tours - specifically in the Brunello
region of Tuscany. We want a real look
at the winery's - not just a driver to take
us around to the different towns and then
tell us to do the tastings in the local wine
stores. Do you have a guide who can
help us with something that specific? We
are also interested in doing a cooking school
for a day or two - so are interested to see
if you can help us out with that, too.
Thanks

-- Thank you so much for
the "Welcome Home" wishes!
First,
please let me tell you how wonderful your
Tour partners were in Italy. They
were all wonderful, especially Tiziana. She
went far beyond what would normally be expected
from a Tour Director and we all really appreciated
it. She often translated for us and it was
often times a life saver! Everyone
was pleased with the itinerary. The
days were long, but no one complained. I
know that our Villa location was a bit out
of the way, but the view was spectacular
and we would not have enjoyed our stay had
we been in the city or a more populated area. I
can't tell you how relaxing and pleasant
it was. I would not change that.
I
would be happy to recommend your services
to other potential customers. Thank
you again for helping me in my complicated
planning. I will keep your services
in mind if I ever attempt to undertake such
a monumental task again in the future!
Thank
you again!

word from our clients who did a private

Naples...
Ning
and Jacqueline,
We
just wanted to drop you a note and let you
know how much we enjoyed the tours. We
booked two private tours. Panaramic Tour: Nice,
Monte Carlo & Eze and Pompeii and Herculaneum
private tour from Naples.
Maria
was our tour guide in Nice and she was great! She
showed us all of the sites and was so knowledgable
on the area. And she was too funny
-- she kept us laughing all day. We
really enjoyed spending the day with her. My
most favorite part was Eze. I'd love
to go back and stay in one of the quaint
hotels there.
The
guide in Pompeii was Antonio Passaro. He
took us through Pompeii and Herculaneum and
answered all of our questions. Both
places were simply fascinating! It
is hard to believe how the artifacts have
been preserved for so long. Antonio answered
all of our many questions with such
patience. Antonio took us to a wonderful
pizza restaurant in Naples by the water for
lunch. The pizza was fabulous and we
left very stuffed. Our driver was Rafael. He
was so kind and always ready to drive us
to the next stop.
Thanks
again for the great tours. We'll definitely
recommend you to our friends and hope to
use your services again in the future.

"Ning,
we really enjoyed our second trip with your
company. The trip is well planned, from delicious
meals to nice, well-run hotels with attentive
service. Our group was delightful.
Everyone was glad to take a suggestion
and go with it. We thoroughly enjoyed each
other's company and even scheduled dinners
together when they were not planned.
Raffaele,
our guide, did a wonderful job at shepherding
us through cities, towns, villages and countryside.
Raffaele is quite knowledgeable and truly
enjoys talking to people. He has a great
sense of humor and shared his relationship
with his family, which gave us an insight
into the Italian family life. He also kept
us moving and so we never were bored.
We
all loved having beautiful and lively Lucca
as a home base for three days. It is beautiful
and has an active night life. Our visit to
the small village of Pienza was also a nice
change of pace from busy Lucca and the other
cities we visited. The visit to the winery
there was great...we ate fresh figs off their
tree, tasted wine and bought some for home.
York, our guide from the vineyard, was knowledgeable
and pleasant. He helped us appreciate the
challenges of wine making. Thanks for a great
trip."

Ciao,

This
is Gail Thomas of Melissa, Ina, Carol and
Gail--Your Louisiana friends.
First,
let me say how much I appreciated your guidance
on our recent Italian tour. You were
the perfect mix of teacher and
companion. I do so appreciate what
a fine line you walked. You made sure
we had fun and shopped, but you also saw
to it that we saw what was MOST impressive
and important everywhere we went.
We
are so sorry about the earthquake damage. How
sad for so much to be gone so suddenly---and
the terrible loss of life! We do hope
you will come for a visit. I'm
heading to Ina's for a glass of wine as soon
as I finish writing. We are still
talking about our trip, and I am still writing
up my notes---I am up to the day we left
Florence for Rome!
Thanks
for everything,

still glowing from the fantastic trip with
you, Luca and the ladies. I can't tell
you how much fun I had, and how much I appreciate
your expertise in picking cities to visit
(a great mix of large and small), fabulous
guides, beautiful hotels, YUMMY food, and
the amazing Luca. I've always had an
allergic reaction to the large group tours,
and this was the perfect combination of having
details taken care of and having plenty of
free time and choices in the mix.
You
were such fun, Ning, and I really enjoyed
getting to know you. You have really
found your niche and are so great at your
job. It was such a benefit to have
your expertise in traveling--thanks so much
for letting us benefit from your years of
seeing many cities, sites, accommodations,
restaurants, shops, etc. Thanks again
for all of your work, and for being a fun
travel companion. I'm looking forward
to another 'Ning adventure'!" --

can I even begin to tell you what a wonderful

enough great things about Luca, our guide
– we all agree you have a jewel in him! He
was exceptional, as well as all the other
tour guides you arranged. Each one of them
was so knowledgeable, considerate, and fun
to be around. We enjoyed each and every one
of them. I hope you have already heard from
some people we have given your name to. I
cannot tell you thank you enough for all
the planning and details that you put into

"My
husband and I are finally settling back in
at home, so I had to write to let you
know how the transfers and private day-tours that
you arranged for us worked out. In
short, they made our Paris trip an
extraordinary, over-the-top experience,
the memories of which we will cherish forever!
Even the airport
transfers were enjoyable, with the charming
Phillipe as our driver. He is just
delightful! So personable and funny
and very much in tune with the passenger's
needs and moods. His English, as well as
that of ALL the driver/guides, was wonderful,
too. He also went above and beyond
the call of duty. The Mercedes sedan
was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable.
It also accommodated our extensive luggage
quite nicely.
The 12-hour Loire
Valley tour with Paul was nothing short of incredible. He
is a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge regarding
the chateaux, the royalty and their many
intrigues and escapades. His in-depth knowledge
of French history wove a dimensional tapestry
for us, filled with living, breathing residents for
each chateau we visited, that allowed us
to envision what life was like in the days
when people actually lived in, rather
than just looked at, these magnificent castles...
these treasures of France.
And our afternoon
at Giverny, with our tour guide and driver,
Salvatore, was absolutely spectacular. We
felt like we had a friend in Paris who was
taking us out to Monet's exquisite country
estate. As with both Phillipe and Paul before
him, Sal was exceedingly knowledgeable. He
anticipated our questions more often than
not. He was extra-ordinarily personable, witty
and totally accommodating. He made our afternoon
at Giverny a time we did not want to end
and a memory we will always treasure.
All
in all, Ning, I am so very glad that I
found you online. In all honesty, I had
my concerns initially, since this was a
very special trip for us and I wanted it
to be perfect in every way. Never having
done business with your company before,
and not knowing anyone who had, I was very
apprehensive. But you and your partners
in Paris far exceeded my expectations
in every possible way. I would not hesitate
for an instant to recommend you and Well
Arranged Travel to anyone."

"Dear
Ning, I just wanted to drop you a note about
our day in Tuscany. We were so impressed
with Raffaele our tour guide. He was so informative
and accommodating. He picked us up promptly
- something I value immensely. His car was
clean, new and a Mercedes van which was very
comfortable. I was very impressed with the
overall quality. We visited a small winery,
lunch in a neat medieval village, Siena,
and finished with some shopping in Florence.
We decided not to go to the outlets since
there didn't seem to be any big savings.
He was so accommodating and helpful that
I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again
and please share my appreciation to Raffaele.
We will do this again and look forward to
our next trip in Italy!

wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed
our private tours in Paris. We were just
delighted with Aurelie. My traveling companions
had not had the pleasure of touring a museum

were amazed by the thoroughness of her knowledge.
We have two new converts to the word of custom

into meaningful educational experiences.
Our time with her was a true delight.
When

I will be sure to contact you for our guides.

 "The
16-day tour of Italy that Well Arranged Travel
arranged for us definitely exceeded our expectations. The
hotels we stayed in were not only centrally
located but had their own unique charm. The
included meals were well planned and almost
always offered us the chance to enjoy the
local delicacies. (My husband and a
friend tried the horse and donkey meat in
Verona!) The pace of the tour was just
perfect because each day we had time to do
our own thing (exploring more museums, go
shopping, or simply taking siesta). The
local guides were most impressive both in
knowledge and good looks. (Who can forget
Alessandro in Rome?) We thoroughly enjoyed
visiting the little towns that were not accessible
to the big tour groups. Ning Bond looked
after every little detail to make our trip
memorable and worry-free.
Well Arranged Travel has set the bar too
high for our future travel plans. This
trip is certainly one of the best that we
have taken so far. It was a totally
different experience. We wouldn't want
to go with the big bus tours again! And
we recommend Well Arranged Travel to anybody
who wants to get excellent value for their
money." --Lou & Bien

by exploring Italian wines in our local wine
stores, sipping cappuccino whenever possible,
and buying Italian deli goods at a new Italian
Food Centre that recently opened in our city.
It is not quite the same thing as the real
Italy, but it keeps the memories alive.
We wanted to extend our thanks for a well-arranged
travel experience that showcased a wide range
of experiences and sights. We really appreciated
the guided tours, which added an important
dimension to the trip since we are both very
interested in learning as we travel. We also
wanted to pass on our warm regards for tour
manager Max. We found Max to be very professional,
conscientious, helpful and very keen to make
sure that the group needs were met.
We sincerely hope that there will be future
opportunities to travel with you again. I
have also forwarded your web page to a number
of my single female friends who may be interested
in exploring some of your Women's Tours." --

" I just want to let you know we had
a great time in Italy. Everything was perfect.
What a great vacation! Too bad we decided
on just a quick tour of Florence. By the
way Gresi was extremely knowledgeable and
certainly made our time in Rome more amazing
than we ever imagined. Definitely the best
guide we've ever had.
We appreciate your energy, knowledge and
enthusiasm. Thank you for planning everything
perfectly." -- Darryl,

" I want to say thank you for the personal
care you've taken to make this trip in Italy
so memorable! I am grateful for the
high standards you maintain for the accommodations,
which have been a perfect blend of European
charm with modern conveniences.
You also
have chosen a wonderful asset in having Brigitta
to assist in guiding us throughout the various
cities with her knowledge of the language
and cultural attractions. She has been
more than patient and generous with our needs
throughout the tour.
I'm so thankful
for your gifts & abilities to be in the
touring business and offer the excellent
itineraries that you do. I hope to experience
more travels with your groups, to see you
again and enjoy your company. Thanks again
for the memories of a lifetime!" --
