Attentive, responsive, highly recommend!

28-Aug-2023

Wanderful Holidays exceeded my expectations. They met every single need of every person on the tour and responded in a timely manner. I had some unforeseen events with my flight. Not only did they accomodate the new changes and found quick solutions but they were able to stay in communication with me throughout the entire ordeal which made me feel secure and less anxious. The hotels were located in the coolest neighborhoods close to main touristic attractions. The guides were beyond great, every single one of them. They were very knowledgeable and super fun! We had our dream vacation and a wonderful time. I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Wanderful Holidays and will recommend them to my family and friends. Thank you for everything!!

Personalized holiday experience

03-Aug-2023

From start to finish Wanderful Holidays were extremely helpful and tentative. Wanderful holidays answered all our questions quickly and ensured all our needs were met when planning our trip. The hotels they selected for us were perfect as they were on the upper side of hotels ratings. The tours were also well planned and the meeting points were easy to find. The overall logistics of the hotels, tours, transfers, and communication excelled expectations, as there was always someone from Wanderful checking-in and ensuring we made it to our tours and transfers. We would definitely book again, as Wanderful provides a very personalized holiday experience.
