This was a true bucket-list vacation that exceeded our expectations. Great hotels, great weather, beautiful sights. Monica our guide was so warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable it was a pleasure to be in her company. Our only complaint was that it was maybe too ambitious an itinerary. There was much more walking than we expected: 10 to 13 kilometres per day! Would happily go again, just opt out of some of the activities. Great value on this tour!... Read More

My first Wingbuddy experience was exquisite. They made my birthday and one year anniversary celebration perfect. We did the Italy and its Northern Lakes package. I was nervous at first but I was very pleased with the customer service. Our airline unexpectedly cancelled our flight but they were on top of it and made sure we knew of the changes and we got on a great flight. The driver was also right at the exit to pick us up despite the change. The itinerary was also sooo much fun. We definitely would not have seen as much had we tried to plan everything on our own. Our tour guide, Sabrina, was also very knowledgeable and attentive and our group size what not too big (13 people). I also liked how they planned the itinerary so that when we landed, we had a walking tour from a local and got great advice on what to do. On our last day we had a lot of free time to carry out that advice. My husband and I agree it was the best trip of our lives! Can’t wait for my next Wingbuddy adventure! ... Read More
