A memorable Mediterranean trip to Italy..

03-Jun-2023

A memorable Mediterranean trip to Italy and Greece. This was first time we were booking our vacation trip via Wanderful and weren’t sure how it would be..we are glad we did and they took out the stress of planning and guiding you along every part of the journey as your private tour guide. Thanks for awesome Erica and Amanda for continuously responding to any questions or any accommodation issues. Look forward to start planning for our next year vacation already with Wanderful!

First Trip After 20 years

10-Jun-2023

We are from NZ and we hadnt travelled long distance for over 20 years so this was my first time booking things myself and online. I found the communication with Wanderful Holidays LLC to be simply amazing right from answering my initial questions to checking in with us at every milestone throughout our trip (they even knew our transfer was running late in real time!). We highly recommend them if you are after confidence in doing a balance between self directed traveling and help in securing accommodation / getting to the next destination

I loved this tour !

16-May-2023

I loved this tour (Argentina & Brazil). My contacts at Wanderful were in touch with me every step of the way. Since I was traveling alone, this gave me great peace of mind. The excursions were awesome. Hotels were great. I highly recommend!

They go above & Beyond

15-Nov-2022

We used Wanderful Holidays for our 25 year anniversary trip to Italy. They were fairly new to planning trips in Italy and acknowledged as much. That said, they found excellent locations in Venice, Rome and the Amalfi Coast for my wife and I, and catered to our specific transfer requests. When issues occurred, they immediately rectified them (they covered the cost of a taxi we had to pay for when the airport transfer did not show up). We called them when we needed their help before and during the trip, and they were always responsive. They are a small operation, but I find the service from small operations tends to be more hands-on and very service oriented. They certainly were. Ask for Alberto and Erika.
