Tahiti, 2017
I wanted to write you and tell you how wonderful our trip was. Thank you so much for helping us make the trip happen.

The accommodations at every resort were perfect for us.

We were very pleased with everything about the trip and thank you and Pacific Holidays for putting it all together and making this a trip of a lifetime. We couldn't have been more pleased with the resorts, the accommodations, and all the arrangements for inter-island travel and transfers. Everything happened without problems and was perfectly organized. Thank you, Petra.

Sweden & Norway, 2017
What a wonderful trip.  I fell in love with Stockholm and the fjords were magnificent.  I saw those little villages at the bottom of the fjords …. Bergen was also charming. 

I think Stockholm is probably now my favorite place. Every hotel was so convenient and ideally situated.  It is my second trip through Groupon and I will book again.

Thank you for all your help.

Tahiti, 2017
Thought I'd send you a quick thank you for getting our Tahiti trip organized. We are now on Moorea on the deck of our over water bungalow, and it is brilliant. The flights went well, and the first night hotel was organized and excellent. The ferry over to Moorea was on time as was the shuttle to the hotel.

The Intercontinental Hotel is excellent. The service is great and the amenities are first rate.

 I  travel for work every week and I'm a Hilton Lifetime Diamond member, so I am an experienced, jaded traveler. For me to be excited about a hotel or travel it has to be pretty spectacular, and it is.

 Highly recommend this package.

Tahiti, 2017
The trip was fabulous!! So many amazing sights! The water is just an unbelievable color. It looks fake even when you're in it! The Tahitians are incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Air Tahiti Nui was wonderful. Everything was on time, the food was good, and the service great. Air Tahiti in the islands was also very good, right on time and no issues.

The hotels in Tahiti and Moorea were spectacular. Everything was great. … The overwater bungalow in Moorea was unbelievable. So comfortable, peaceful, and really fancy. We snorkeled off of our deck and went swimming. We also did standup paddle boarding. We took a snorkeling tour in Moorea and got to touch the stingrays and see sharks and all types of tropical fish. We rented a car in both Tahiti and Moorea and drove all the way around both islands. … We really enjoyed that. Moorea was our favorite. Less bustle than Tahiti, the water was great, and our accommodations were of course the nicest there.

The water colors in Bora Bora are the most spectacular. Matira beach near our hotel was incredible in that you could walk out for a half mile or more without your feet leaving the ground. The hotel had kayaks and snorkeling gear, which we used to paddle around the huge lagoon off the hotel beach.

Overall, amazing trip of a lifetime! I thought we got a lot for what we paid.

Keith

Dubai, 2017
We just returned from Dubai and would like to thank you very much for your help. We enjoyed this trip. Everything was great:  the hotel, our room was nice and clean, the hotel workers every single one was very polite and friendly, and the tours were great. From the moment we arrived, the driver was there to pick us up and take us to the hotel. The next day we had a half day tour that was also very good and friendly, and the River Dhol cruise and dinner was very good.

Dubai is beautiful and safe and clean. Thank you very much for all your help. Feel free to send emails with the different tours you guys organize.

Thank you

Edward and Milosis

 

Asia, 2017
The world is a book ... those who do not travel read only a page ... those who do not travel with Pacific Holidays  ... do not know all the excitement and surprises that await them after every sunrise and before every sunset.  As a solo traveler, the benefit of guaranteed departure (a  trip is a go whether there is one tourist or 100) results in a private local guide and driver at each destination who can change the itinerary to make each day flexible and more in tune with our own individual interests.  I prefer being with the locals … walking with the kids going to school and people going to work, and eating in local cafes with the locals, visiting the homes of the guides to see the "real" lives of the everyday people.  Having just returned from "a trip around the world," including Tokyo, Thailand, Bhutan, Sikkim, Calcutta, and Mumbai,  I am already wondering what the days will bring on my next trip, next year. Pacific Holidays offer 5-star hotel, generous included buffet meals, assistance to and from the airports, visas, and itineraries  that provide knowledge of the people, the countries, and the culture of every country.  I have been traveling with Pacific Holidays ever since I retired. I realize that I need to experience the land tours now and save the cruising for when I may no longer have the stamina for climbing the Himalayas, the mountaintop monasteries , the temples, the riverwalks, the botanical gardens, the zoos and tea plantations. I feel very fortunate to have been able to travel to many Asian countries ...and look forward to continuing to plan more adventure in this great big world of ours.

Tahiti, 2017
Well, finally made it to Tahiti! Thanks again for your help.

The hotel in Tahiti was very good, with a really excellent suite (thanks again for the room upgrade), which was much appreciated after a long flight.

The InterContinental is nice, and I have attached a couple of photos for you. I love dolphins so was happy to have the opportunity to photograph one.

Best regards,
Philip

  

Dubai & Abu Dhabi, 2016
Thank you for helping me book the trip of a lifetime to Dubai. Your recommendations and details were extremely helpful. The hotel was great and the tours were even better! We had an incredible time and cannot thank you enough for all of your time you put into emailed documents, organizing, setting up great tours, answering ALL of my questions/concerns, and going above and beyond to ensure our trip was the best. It was incredible. Can't wait to book our next trip with you.

Thank you again,

Dubai & India, 2016

I am writing this note to express my satisfaction with Pacific Holidays planning of our trip to India and Dubai . Sharon prepared a perfect vacation trip. It  was flawless and everything she had promised happened to our entire satisfaction from beginning to completion of our trip.

Emirates airline, the guides and drivers, timely airport pickups, and hotel selection was magnificent. The Hilton, was a definite plus. I would recommend without hesitation this travel planner to anyone traveling abroad .

We had a sense of being secure at all times. I also have to mention that their price was half of  the competition. Again, this was first-class service at an affordable price. My thanks to Pacific Holidays for a wonderful experience.

Regards,
Eladio, Carmen and Elsa

 

Dubai, 2016
Hi Sharon,

I wanted to take this opportunity to give you some feedback on our trip to Dubai. WOW OH WOW AND MY OH MY... We had an amazing trip that exceeded all of our expectations. All the tours included in our package were outstanding. The schedule for these tours that you booked for us was awesome. It allowed us some downtime to explore on our own and or some nap time in between.

I highly recommend Al Khoory Executive Hotel. Its location was so convenient to shopping without the need of taking a taxi. All in all, our itinerary was exceptional. Thank you again.

Sincerely,
Easter

Galapagos, 2016
Hello Viktor,

Just a note to say thank you. David and I are back from the Galapagos and had a wonderful time.

All the airline tickets, transfers and hotel accommodations went smoothly. Having someone meet us at all stops and transfers really kept this trip stress-free!

I have already recommended this Groupon trip to family and friends.

Best regards,
Carlotta

 

Bali, 2016
Greetings Ruta!

We have just come back from our trip to Bali and it was amazing! The country itself is the most amazing gem. The people are wonderful, the cities, suburbs, mountains, forests and temples were amazing. My mother and I agree there is no other place like it.

Our accommodations were lovely and we felt well located in both Sanur and Ubud.

Our guide and driver were an excellent team! From the airport pick up to local tours, sharing cultural experiences, personal stories, and recommendations for activities, we would not have had the same trip without them. Both were very attentive to our requests and questions. I think every traveler leaves thinking "I didn't get to do that one thing" or " I never found out about ...." Not the case with these two. We have no regrets thanks to their guidance.

Thank you for sending them to "make" our vacation!

Shelby and Louvenia

Hi Viktor!

Just got back this morning from our Sydney/Fiji trip. It was simply incredible! There are so many words to describe it, but it’s definitely one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. Everything worked out flawlessly.

Hi Viktor,

Headed home from our week in Colombia. Just wanted to say a quick thank you! We enjoyed being here.

Although we don't speak Spanish we were able to communicate well enough to get around, and the people were amazing! The tour company was VERY organized, helpful and 100% on point!

Appreciate all of your help and can't wait to visit again!

All the best!

Tahiti, 2015
Dear Ruta!

From the moment our trip began, it was beyond amazing! We cannot convey the gratitude we feel towards you for making our ultimate dream fantasy come true! It took us 40 years to make this wish, and you made everything work perfectly for us! Never have we traveled out of the country together on such a magical adventure!  

You deserve high reviews for your efforts and attention to details! We loved every second of our grand adventure!

The Polynesian people are beautiful inside and out!  Their friendliness, warmth and kind-heartedness is infectious! Every day was a joy interacting and immersing ourselves in their culture!

We wholeheartedly appreciated this trip and sincerely thank you so much! We didn't want it to end, and we look forward to doing it again someday!

Mauruuru Roa! (thank you very much!)

Australia & Fiji, 2015
Hello, Viktor,

Thank you so much for making arrangements for us to visit Australia and Fiji. It was a wonderful juxtaposition of two cultures that we thoroughly enjoyed.

We loved First Landing Beach and Resort. What a treasure with messages made of flowers and greenery on the bed every day. Every aspect of the trip was meticulously prepared for us by you. My grandson and I appreciate it very much.

Aloha,
Ruby

 

India & Dubai, 2015
Hi Sharon,

We are back from our India/Dubai trip and wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the whole trip. The tours in India were awesome, and we had our own driver and guide (one guide for Agra and one for New Delhi) for the whole trip in India. We were very impressed and pleased with the service of the tour companies in both India and Dubai. The Dubai tours were awesome. Our whole trip went without a glitch. The tour companies met us on time for every event.

The trip far exceeded our expectations. Wonderful 10 days!

Tahiti, 2015
Hi Viktor,

Just want to say "Thank you!" for the wonderful time my parents and I had in Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea. We loved the hotels and the itinerary. The transfer people were on time and very friendly and helpful.

Thanks again for your help in planning the trip!

Korea, 2015
Dear Jake,

My husband and I returned from Korea on Saturday, and we wanted to tell you how pleased we were with the trip.

You did a great job with the itinerary. From the moment we met our guide, who greeted us at the Seoul Station, we knew we were in good hands.

While on Jeju Island we hadn’t realized there was much to see there, as well (UNESCO sites). We booked a taxi for an 8-hour day to take us around.

We just wanted to say thank you for all the work you did for our trip. We especially liked the Shilla Hotel on Jeju Island. We will keep you in mind if we travel to Asia again.

Sincerely,
Jonathan and Patricia

 

Asia, 2015
Viktor,

How do you say thank you to someone that did this planning for our group perfectly!!!

Guides were fantastic!!!!  Food pretty wonderful, spots in the world great. Now if you could have dropped the temperature in Cambodia!! Hot, but wonderful.

You made our trip so much better. Everyone was on time, and so nice. Buses were also great. I was relaxed (which never happens on a trip), thanks to you. This was the best job anyone has ever done for me.

Thanks again.....

Charlotte

Dear Elena,

Thank you for booking our 10-day Tikehau/Moorea trip. We wanted to tell you what a great job you did putting our trip together. Tikehau is an amazing place, and the service we got in Tahiti and Tikehau was world class. We can't say enough good things about it and our experience with Pacific Holidays.

Thanks again for your great service, and what a bargain it was!

South Pacific, 2015
Hello Viktor,

I just wanted to say thank you for booking our South Pacific vacation. It was absolutely wonderful. We caught all of our flights, even if there was a delay, and checked into each hotel without a problem. The whole process was seamless, and we got to see some beautiful attractions. I'll definitely consider Pacific Holidays for future vacations.

Sincerely,
Katie

 

Tikehau & Moorea, 2015
Elena,

I must tell you that our trip was perfect.

Each leg of the trip, we were met immediately by someone holding a sign with our name, and transports to and from were smooth as silk. (That makes for a stress-free vacation.)

Can’t thank you enough. Will keep you in mind for future outings, and have told many friends about our experiences with Pacific Holidays! We saved for 4 years for this trip…it was worth every penny.

Ecuador & the Galapagos, 2015
Hi Hailey,

We are back and what a trip!!!!! I was nervous but this was the best trip ever!!!

Thank you sooo much for putting this together for us. The flights on TAME were fantastic –crew, attendants, food, all were perfect. We were met at every destination by courteous, helpful, knowledgeable tour guides.

San Cristobal was really neat ….  a step back in time. Accommodations were spacious, clean and convenient. Guides were great, and the experience climbing to the top of Frigate Hill was once in a lifetime. So many beautiful pictures. The dive and snorkel guides were excellent. They helped Charlotte snorkel for the first time and made her feel less scared. Scenery and natural wildlife was unbelievable.

We were so surprised how great Guayaquil was. Many sites of interest, both on tour and on our own. Our guide and driver were fantastic. Historical Park was so neat to walk through, climbing the stairs to the artist colony, the promenade with all the Xmas decorations, the Victorian restaurant on a canal was awesome.

All in all, the trip exceeded our expectations. Thank you for putting this trip together.

Thanks again,
Bruce & Charlotte

After 3 days, I’m about to get back to normal! But, it was all so worth it … loved New Zealand -- what a beautiful place … and so much to do and see.

It was a great trip. Pacific Holidays did a wonderful job of planning the trip. We got to do so much.

New Zealand and Fiji 2015
Hello, Ruta,

I just wanted to let you know that Bob and I had a marvelous time on our trip to New Zealand and Fiji.  It was a great "appetizer" to a longer trip down to New Zealand.  We are hoping to return next year and maybe take our son and family along for a two-week visit.

We would be interested in other travel packages you handle.  Our time to travel is generally flexible and we want to see the world.  

Again, thank you for the great service.  I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Best Regards,
Bob and Anne A.


New Zealand 2015

My friend and I started from a Groupon offer to New Zealand.  The original offer only included the North island and I wanted again to try to get to Milford Sound.  We contacted Pacific Holidays, and over the course of working with Elena, we were able to expand and lengthen the original Groupon trip.   

My friend and I had a good time, appreciated the itinerary Elena set up, and noted that she gave us realistic driving times between each town that we visited in New Zealand over 2+ weeks.  Elena patiently answered all our questions.  I would work with Elena and Pacific Holidays again.

Lora

Indonesia FAM 2015
HI Peggy,

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed our Fam trip. We all really enjoyed each other’s company and are continuing to keep in touch.

The highlight of the trip for me was seeing a traditional Balinese wedding. The guide was very nice and allowed us to depart late that day, due to that we were all so interested in the ceremony, which was at the Lor hotel. I will send you a few photos as they are among my favorite.

Our guide was a special guide and person. I wish Bali was not so far away. It was very interesting the difference between Jakarta and that area and the island of Bali.

Thank you for all of your hard work and efforts putting this wonderful trip together.


Indonesia FAM 2015
Dear Peggy,

Tahiti 2014
Hi Elena,

I want to thank you for making the arrangements for the most incredible vacation of our lives.  All the air travel and transfers went perfectly.
 
The InterContinental Moorea was an incredible resort hat exceeded my expectations in every area.   The people who worked there were wonderful.  They and everyone on the island made us feel special and took great care of us.

The InterContinental Tahiti was a nice surprise. The resort is a perfectly maintained oceanfront park with some of the most incredible infinity pools with islands and spectacular views.  

We did at least two different things each day and still had time to relax. The people there are the friendliest, nicest, warmest people in the world (and I do a lot of traveling).  

We will be calling you in a year or to arrange our next trip there.

Thanks again,
Norman and Paula

We just returned from our New Zealand and Fiji holiday and wanted to say THANK YOU!!

We are extremely happy with how you set everything up for us. We didn't run into any problems with reservations our vouchers. We also loved every hotel stay.

We can't thank you enough for answering our hundreds of emails before we left and setting up a trip of a lifetime. We could have never done that ourselves. The service was wonderful and we had peace of mind while traveling …  you thought of everything.

We are telling everyone about Pacific Holidays and hope to book again with you in the future.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Tahiti 2014
Ruta,

We had a great vacation. Thank you for putting it all together for us.

The people were wonderful.  The colors and the clarity of the water was amazing. Better snorkeling than most of the diving I have done.

Flights and accommodations were all really good. Bora Bora overwater suite was fantastic.
Thanks again!

New Zealand and Fiji 2014
Hi Elena,

How can I even begin to narrow down our trip into highlights?! Every day was a highlight. From Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove in Coromandel, to jet boating and a helicopter ride in Lake Taupo, everyday was pure FUN!

If I have to say, I think one of our favorite and very unique experience was the Tamaki Village Maori cultural experience. It was unique to New Zealand and its history.  Our trip was all very busy but so much fun!

Fiji allowed us to slow down and really enjoy the wonderful hospitality, beautiful scenery and relaxation. We went island hopping to snorkel and kayak. Beautiful!

Thanks so much for being a part of making memories we will cherish!  We won't hesitate to reach out when we plan on going to the South Pacific again ... which we definitely will.

Thank you!

Dubai and Bangkok 2014
Hi Ruta,

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Dubai and Bangkok trip. The excursions that we did were all top-notch.

We were especially happy with the Bangkok arrangements.  The Century Park Hotel was beautiful and the breakfast buffet fantastic.  Our guide was very informative and the driver was really good, even in that crazy traffic!

Thanks again,
Nancy


Dubai and Nepal 2014
Marta,

Ken and I returned last week from our holiday.  It was great and what an experience we had.  

Our guide Dom and our sherpa Kirin were great guys and were with us every step of the way.  Dom even stayed on after the trek and got us to Chitwan and our raft trip. They both went above and beyond, and it is truly appreciated.

Ken and I loved the trek.  It was difficult for two 62-year-old guys, but we did it and were able to do it at our own pace.  Dom was very accommodating in every way.

Thanks so much your help on this marvelous holiday.

Regards,
Wendell and Ken

I wanted to thank you again for all of your help booking our trip to Tahiti!  We had a great time!

The waters were amazingly aqua and turquoise!  We also received the most amazing, two-story suite… I don’t know if you had anything to do with that, but I have a feeling that you did.

Thank you for everything, I really appreciate it!

Dear Marta,
 
I don't have to tell you... you know it... it was again a fabulous vacation! Incredible!
 
This time we even decided to go back not after 5 years, but in 2016 for sure!
 
Best regards

South Pacific Islands 2014
Hi Elena,

We returned from our South Pacific trip last night tired but well satisfied.

Vanuatu was a neat place -- you could safely walk into town. The cascades were a highlight, which we did via taxi.

West Samoa was fine …. very genuine.  We really felt we were in the South Pacific. The local people throughout the trip were sincere, honest and very friendly. Savaii was laid back but great, and the resort manager was wonderful. We almost hated to leave.

Next year we would be interested in returning to the South Pacific and exploring some other islands.  What do you suggest?

Bottom line ---it was a great trip leaving hundreds of wonderful memories!

Martha and John


Tahiti 2014
Hi Viktor,

Just to let you know we had a great time in Tahiti. I thank YOU, especially, and Pacific Holidays.

InterContinental hotels upgraded our accommodations in Papeete and in Moorea. Le Maitai gave us the best overwater bungalow location.

We will need your expertise in the future. Thank you so much and God bless!

Fiji FAM 2014
Hello, Peggy,

Just a note to say how much we enjoyed the trip to Fiji.  The people are so nice and the places we stayed were just great.  Our guide couldn't have been better.

Learned a lot and hope to get some clients interested in visiting Fiji. It's certainly a beautiful destination.

Thanks again.

Fiji FAM 2014
Hi Peggy,

Just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU for a wonderful Fam trip to Fiji. Everything went very smoothly -- flights, transfers, resorts, and Captain Cook Cruise.  Also, our tour guide was exceptional. He took really good care of all of us. I would highly recommend the Warwick Hotel on the Coral Coast.

Thanks once again for a truly wonderful trip

Bali, 2013
Hi Sharon,

Thank you very much for all your help with our arrangements for the Bali trip. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

We enjoyed the excursions and the food. We felt very safe and taken care of.  I very much enjoyed the Ubud portion of the trip. The weather was cooler and the culture was more accessible than the beach portion of the trip … although it was nice to relax, lie by the pool, and soak in all the sun.

Thank you for all your help in preparing us for this voyage!

Cheers!

Best regards,

Peru 2013
Sharon,

We had a magnificent time on our Peru trip. Such engaging culture, such entrancing ruins, such thrilling landscapes, such variety of nature, that every day was a new adventure.

Our trek guide met us the first day and briefed us. Your local operator was ready to supply any gear we were missing, but we had no need.  …. The trek went very well.  Machu Picchu was of course breathtaking and sublime, perched on a massive granite spire overlooking the Andes mountains.

Thank you so much for your help. Your recommendations were all superior … Hope to meet you soon.

Hi Sharon,
 
My clients had a wonderful time in New Zealand.  They loved the tours, the hotels were very nice, and they had a great time in Fiji.

Marta,

I wanted to thank you for the travel arrangements to Tahiti. We had a wonderful trip and a relaxing vacation.

The choice of hotels was perfect.  We had many people who stayed at different places tell us that our hotel had the best location for all the good restaurants and tour departures.

Mongolia FAM 2013
Dear Peggy,

Just a quick thank you for the opportunity to visit Mongolia and experience Pacific Holidays for myself. An intriguing destination, to be sure. Brought back a lot of my 4th grade history lessons (Chinggis Kahn) and expanded my horizons!

Our guide was great. Patient, knowledgeable, kind, and has a great love for his country. Also, excellent English! And our transfers were all efficient and well-handled.

Thank you again for this amazing opportunity! What a beautiful country!

Best,
Paula


Tahiti FAM 2013
Hi Peggy,

Thank you so much for including me on your Tahiti Fam trip and Travel Exchange this year. I am so glad that I was able to do it. In fact, I was able to add a few more hotels to our site inspection list while we were there.

It was great to have the Travel Exchange format so we could meet with all the suppliers that were able to come.  It has made all the difference to being able to market and sell the region to my customers.

I'm hoping to be included in next year’s Travel Exchange and Fam trip as well.

Thanks again,
Loretta


French Polynesia 2012
Dear Elena,
 
I just want you to know that our vacation was absolutely terrific. We had JUST the best time.
The resorts were amazing, and all the transfers went smoothly and were very well coordinated.  THANKS  for your hard work.

TIKEHAU was magnificent … the beach and the sea are the best ……  
 
The most beautiful resort was definitely Le Meridien at Bora Bora. The rooms are amazing , great people!

We really LOVE French Polynesia!
 
Best,

Tahiti FAM 2012
Hey Peggy,
 
We are back from Tahiti. Had a great time, the group was wonderful, and everyone got along.
 
Doug did a great job, and we saw lots. Learned tons of stuff. Now feel comfortable in selling Tahiti.
 
All hotels were very good to us, and we enjoyed all the staff at the hotels. The food was very good, and people are very friendly and go out of their way to please you.
 
Great Fam!
 
Thanks again,

Patagonia 2012
Jake,

The trip not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them. You know how sometimes you can build something up and then when it happens it's a disappointment? This trip was far and above all that I had built it up in my mind, which is saying a lot.

Someone lately asked me, "What was the worst part of the trip?" I answered that there was NO worst part. We had the best accommodations, transportations, scenery, and food, and there were only great people. Our flights were all on time, and our baggage followed us wherever we went.

It was the trip of a lifetime! Thank you very much for making it happen.

Sarah


Fiji 2012
Joe,

I cannot even tell you how AMAZING Fiji is. TOKORIKI is more than either of us EVER imagined!! Not only that, but we ended up getting upgraded on the long flights (going and coming) and we took over 1,000 pictures. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking care of everything for us. Both of us grew up traveling all over the US, but nothing could have prepared us for how memorable and beautiful and unforgettable this trip would be.

It's a good life!

Hi, Doug!
 
The whole trip was phenomenal!!! Everything worked smoothly and perfectly. The hotels were great and in very convenient locations. The local agencies were on the ball with everything. Needless to say, we had an awesome time!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for making all this possible! Time to start saving for the next trip. We will talk to you then.

Myanmar & Bhutan 2012
Hi Sharon,
 
Thought I would let you know that everything went smoothly on our trip. Every flight was on time – amazing, considering how many we had on our trip. We really enjoyed Myanmar and Bhutan. Thank you for working with us to put the trip together. I know it was complicated.

New Zealand & Fiji 2012
Hi Jake,

I wanted to let you know how wonderful our trip to New Zealand and Fiji was. It's been two months since we came back and my 3.5 yr old still mentions it. She says she wants to take her grandma and aunt along with us next time.

The accommodations suited our needs very well. We were very pleased to have rented the camper for our self-drive tour of New Zealand. It was spacious and allowed us to make meals on the road when we needed to.

Fiji was fabulous and just what the kids needed and wanted after driving around New Zealand and sleeping at different places almost every night. Our bure was lovely and spacious. We had a relaxing and peaceful view of the ocean. The kids could just walk out and play in the sand. The resort was family and kid-friendly, with a pool and playground for them to enjoy. The food was very delicious.

Thank you so much for helping us plan a very memorable family vacation, and with everything coming together perfectly.

Bora Bora 2012
Ruta,

The trip was amazing.  Everything went like clockwork, and when we arrived in Bora Bora we were met by a party from the hotel. Checked right in, and made to feel at home. The accommodations were amazing and views even better.  This was a very well organized vacation and we’ll definitely consider your assistance again in the future. Will definitely recommend your services, as well. Thanks again!

French Polynesia 2012
Hi Marta,

We just came back at the end of the last week and I wanted to send you a quick note to say “Thank You Very Much!” for putting together such an amazing trip for us! We loved it!

The “honeymooners” bonus was great. We had so many presents and specials! We were happy with our Tahiti hotel room, loved our Moorea bungalow, and totally were awed and amazed by our Overwater Villa (and resort in general) at the InterContinental Thalasso!

We received excellent attention and service from the Thalasso staff, and we can’t wait to go back again (perhaps next year around this time).

 I am sending your contact to all my friends, family and co-workers who are interested in taking this trip

Many Thanks Again!  
Natalie
 

New Zealand 2012
Joe,

Once again everything went like clockwork. All of our accommodations were great. All of our airport pickups, all of our flight connections and arrangements were just as you had them laid out.

Thanks for your hard work in making this another trip of a lifetime.

Myanmar & Cambodia 2012
Sharon,

Well you really outdid yourself this time!   I have traveled with Pacific Holidays many times, but this was the best of the best, especially Myanmar -- the guides, the restaurants, the itineraries, the drivers, the hotels, the food, the people, the people, the people.

I do not want to book with anyone but you. You are magic. I loved Cambodia, also, but Myanmar has my heart.

Hugs, Anita

French Polynesia 2012
Hi Doug,

Thanks for everything you did in helping us with our vacation! It was wonderful! Tahiti is beautiful, the flights were great, and the transportation was great. InterContinental Tahiti and Moorea were wonderful...The overwater bungalow was good.

We took a walk down the street in Bora Bora, about a 5-minute walk to the InterContinental, and we said to ourselves that when we return, we would love to stay here. Next time we are going to stay a week in Bora Bora at the InterContinental.

Once again, thank you for all of your help, with our vacation. When we plan another one I will contact you...

El Salvador FAM 2011
Hi Peggy,

Once again, thanks for letting me participate in the Fam to El Salvador. The itinerary was very interesting and diverse. The country has it all: churches, Mayan ruins, volcanoes, colonial towns, beaches, lakes and great shopping. Not to mention the weather was great

I liked staying at the variety of hotels. It was also fun trying different restaurants and sampling the local food. El Salvador is a beautiful country and has a lot to offer.

Our guide Dionisio was great. Everyone was friendly and very accommodating. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better experience.
 
Thank you.

Vietnam & Cambodia 2011

The tour from Pacific Holidays was first class. In a nutshell, it was smooth and as exciting as planned.

We were met as scheduled, without failure, by guides and drivers who got us from and to the airports with style and safety, and provided us with the travel confirmation documents that we needed. The drivers were all personable, safe, and helpful.  The hotels were all ones to which we would gladly return, and the city or area (e.g., Mekong River) tours were full of important things to see and do.

The guides all spoke English, and in several cases they were exceptionally fluent not only in English but in the background or history of whatever places we visited. The guides were personable, very polite, and also truly responsive to our wishes, whether an adjustment in itinerary and the components of a meal. Three in particular were among the best guides that we have encountered over many years of travel:  Quang in Hanoi, Sokhary in Phnom Penh, and, especially, Monirom in Siem Reap. Rom was a true professor of history, art, culture, linguistics, sociology and more, and we could go on-and-on about his consideration and skill in making our visits to popular sights unique and comfortable.

Evelyn says that this is the best guided tour that we have ever had in every respect -- and I agree. Thus, we love Indochina even more than we anticipated, and we intend to return and spend more time in each country.

We would gladly recommend Pacific Holidays to others contemplating a tour such as we took.

I will be in touch again soon about some upcoming travel plans.

Best regards.
Norb
