“Firstly can I congratulate you in producing such a great holiday for Pat and myself. You have a unique offering which was appreciated by everybody we met who had travelled with your company. The staff and hotel owners, who spoke to us, praised you for the way in which you deal with them and issues that may arise. In your case service is not dead which unfortunately has been lost by many of the larger and distant companies.”
