I can not tell you what a wonderful trip we had with Holiday Vacations. It was everything one
could wish for. I can not praise our tour guide, Jane Nebel Milheiser, enough. She was all about
our good time. It was a belated honeymoon and anniversary gift that we gave to each other.
Everything was taken care of down to the last little detail. We hope to travel with them again with
the same guide. – Deby M.
