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.
In a word, wonderful. I am so happy. I have traveled my entire life, but aging has put limits on my mobility. I was beginning to despair--would I be able to make more of my dreams come true? With the help of Rachel Hardy, the IRT team, and their associates at Remote Lands, I was able to see everything I had hoped for--and more--in comfort. Amazing! I am so grateful.
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!
