To Mattia and Anastasiia,
Thank you again for all of your efforts in creating an extraordinary trip for these clients.
I will share with you below some of the things she told me, but she kept saying over and over, "amazing". The bottom line is that she had high expectations that everything would go smoothly, but it was unexpected how wonderful all of the drivers and guides would be.
Recap:
- Grand Hotel - Favourite hotel. Beautiful rooms. Great location. Loved being able to walk in Lucerne.
- Boat ride - highlight of the trip!! One of the members of this family is a boater, and he was so impressed by the captain's knowledge. He enjoyed learning every detail about the boat restoration, etc. Only wish the boat ride had been longer!
- Hike - Great. They LOVED Urse. They are still talking about him! Delia was awesome. The only note is that they did not know that the fondue lunch was cash only, and luckily, they had the cash. Please note this ahead of time, next time.
- Casa di Langa - loved. Another note for next time would be to give a heads up that taxis to restaurants for dinner are expensive. €200 round trip. Although given it there were 6 of them, I'm sure the price was higher than normal.
- Wine Tour - Suzanne was wonderful. Both wineries were so different, and they loved their lunch.
- Turin - loved Sergio's guide and Favio's driver.
- Truffle Hunting - Favio again (yay!) plus Favio's wife? They absolutely loved both of them. The villages they went to were perfect, and the truffle hunting was super fun. The dog found 3 truffles, and they kept 2 that were used in their lunch.
- Grand Hotel Minerva - great location, service, bar, pool.
- Florence tour - blown away at how knowledgeable Veronica is - local Florentine and art historian. She made everything so interesting. They were so happy to have Veronica twice.
- Cooking class - way exceeded their expectations! There were 2 chefs in an amazing converted apartment on the river. Was spectacular.
- Ebike - beautiful, perfect, great lunch
So all in all: 10/10!!
I am so grateful to know that I can confidently book exceptional trips with QofC. It was especially incredibly helpful in this case to be able to have you as my partner for both countries to figure out how to divide up the budget and seamlessly coordinate the itineraries.
Thank you again! I look forward to the next trip.
