Reviews From Our Travelers
I was blessed to be on the inaugural London-Berlin VSOE…this route is among the best…viewing castles from your cabin or the club car is so wonderful….my friends at The Society of International Railway Travelers took GREAT care of me.
Every year I think this will be my final trip. But the trips you offer are so glorious I can’t stop. You may have to have me committed somewhere to get me to stop.
Our family trip to Japan was perfectly planned by Eleanor....all eight of us were very happy with the trip and all of the arrangements, which were MANY! We came home happier than any of us thought possible!
