821 A Porter Manchester I feel I must put pen to paper to say how much my wife and I enjoyed our latest holiday with your company.

We have had a most wonderful week in Austria staying at the Hotel Lebzelter which was wonderful. We have been with your firm a few times, but this holiday in Zellamsee was the best, made more so by your rep Viktoria, nothing was too much trouble for her. My wife has trouble walking, she saw to it that there was always a lift handy, always a hand to help her on and off the coach and all done with a wonderful smile on her face. She really is an asset to your company. The coach driver Mick was first class though we went up some tricky roads in the cliffs, one felt at ease.

My wife and I thought your company would like to pay a big thank you to Viktoria and Micky for making our holiday a week to remember.

821 Miss White Middlesex "Thank you"! for a fantastic holiday, comfortable hotels at Zell-um-see and Munich (Holiday Inn).

The excursions were excellent and we were cared for very well by an excellent friendly tour manager, Judith. On the coach, she delivered a lot of factual information as we travelled with much interest and much enthusiasm. She looked after us all very well.

I am sure I reflect the opinions of everyone on the holiday. Thanks again for a wonderful time and I look forward to booking with you again.
