Benjamin Williams  

Italy anniversary trip

17-Sep-2023

The planning process was detailed and personal. We took a standard tour package and made it our own. Having someone available to help while we were in Italy was a luxury. The accommodations were great, as was the transportation. They even refunded our Pompeii trip when my wife was sick that day. That was a classy touch they did not have to do. Great thing they have going!

Cherry Tang  

Great team and an enjoyable trip!

17-Sep-2023

The team - Amanda, Wendy, Alberto and Sam have done a great job supporting our 2-week vacation visiting Switzerland and Italy. They are very responsive to our inquiries and always do their best to accommodate last min changes e.g arranged last min transfer from Lugano instead Como when our train schedule got changed by the train company. All the tours arranged for us are of good quality, very friendly and courteous staffs. We enjoyed our trip and had lots of fond memories! Thank you so much!!

Tina White  

Our dream vacation to Italy and Greece

01-Oct-2023

Wanderful Holidays made our dream vacation a reality. Their team consisting of Erica, Alberto, Wendy, Amanda and Sam were extraordinary. They were with us every step of the way. From planning our dream vacation, to guiding us through all the cities and airports and train stations (especially when there were some minor bumps a long the way), and for them being there at the end of our vacation. We highly recommend Wanderful Holidays and their fabulous team! Thank you for a vacation of a lifetime 💕

Great Service Overall

23-Sep-2023

Our first trip overseas was anything but smooth, but Wanderful Holidays was always on top of things to get our trip back on track. Responses were always within a reasonable time even with the different time zones. They take any incident seriously and work to give you the best vacation they can. If you are looking for a company to use on any trip I would highly recommend this one.

Switzerland and Italy Amazing Vacation

16-Oct-2023

We had an amazing trip to Switzerland and Italy!! I am so glad that we chose WANDERFUL Holidays!! The Team was so helpful and it was so reassuring to know that we could ask a question and have help at any time. We decided to change an overnight stay and train in the middle of our trip and it was immediately handled without us even having to make a call. We couldn’t have had made the trip without the expertise of our amazing team. Thank you so much Erica, Rose, Amanda, Sam, Alberto and Wendy!! Hope I didn’t forget anyone! We will definitely be referring our friends and family!!! Frankie and Angel

Wanderful Holidays for our Next Trip!

23-Oct-2023

Wanderful Holidays exceeded my expectations. They walked us through every step of the way even sending us reminders of upcoming tours and meeting points. If any arrangements changed they were quick to let us know of the new arrangement details. My husband and I unfortunately overslept (we were having so much fun the evening before) and we missed our tour the next morning. Not only did they find a quick tour replacement but they were able to get us a partial refund on the tour we missed, which they didn’t have to. Totally our own fault. The breakfasts were above what we expected. The hotels were beautiful and located in close proximity to main touristic attractions. The tours and guides were very knowledgeable and super fun! We had our dream vacation to Italy and will use Wanderful Holidays on our RETURN TRIP! We are extremely satisfied with Wanderful Holidays and will recommend them to our family and friends. Thank you Wendy, Alberto, Sam, Amanda and the rest of the group for everything!! We are super grateful!
