Our tour escorts were fantastic . I enjoyed being looked after with the worry and decision making in their hands. This was a fantastic experience that I really enjoyed and will never forget. Judith Densie   A truly memorable trip. Travel 2 U think of everything. Exceeded our expectations. Janette and Cyril

I enjoyed every moment. It was a dream come true. Marie and John you were great – you made the trip so enjoyable for us. HP   I thoroughly enjoyed my recent tour to Canada & Alaska. It has been a life long wish to visit Canada and the expertise of Marie and John added to the thoroughly enjoyable time I had. Each day turned up a new experience, when I though there couldn’t be anymore. NF

Can’t speak highly enough of such a well run company. No other travel company gives so much time and thought to their passengers leaving us with great happy memories. We wanted for nothing – Andrew & Michele were always helpful bright & cheerful BW   Our 7th tour with Travel 2 U. We keep coming back because we know that we will be well catered for in excellent accommodation on these excellent tours. The tour escorts are all fun, friendly and helpful. Fellow travellers, a great bunch – we have made some good friends. Dave & Eileen Jorgensen

…the overall communication, support and relationship developed with Travel 2 U prior to and during the tour. Jan & I believe we have found a Travel company for the future. Doug & Jan Lineham   Most wonderful trip of my life……Really loved seeing the wildlife and scenery… MW   We both found the whole trip exceeded our expectations. Price was reasonable for what we received. Very happy! D & C

Whole tour great. Glad we were in New York for Independence Day. Fantastic going to Niagara Falls, was unreal. Would go there again. Eunice McLintock (USA – The East Coast Tour)   This was a very ‘relaxing’ tour – a real holiday! I felt that it was a great balance between organised activities and free time. One could be as busy as you wished or there was plenty of time to do your own thing or just relax and watch the world go by (or sleep!). AA (Croatia, Dalmatia & Istria)

Thanks again for a great holiday - well organised, well led, fun group and value for money. TD & LD   …a life long dream which had not been possible until now. It has now been fulfilled. Jennifer Neuman   If anyone was thinking of doing this tour I would certainly recommend that they go with Travel 2 U who takes care of all ones needs. Jenny Todd (Greece, Turkey & the Med tour)

We particularly enjoyed the security of the group & seeing things we’d never have seen or gained the knowledge doing the trip on our own. The group escorts looked after us all and couldn’t do enough for us. HJ Weir (Greece, Turkey & the Med tour)   Neville and I had never been on an organised tour or cruise before so naturally we were a little concerned we wouldn’t enjoy it as much as our other holidays. However, we can’t speak highly enough of our holiday. It was very well organised stayed in lovely accommodation saw some amazing scenery and did so much more than we would have done on our own. – no regrets what so ever. Neville & Julie Johnson   Having just returned from the third tour with Travel 2 U, I am as always so impressed with the attention to detail to all aspects of the tour. The fun we had and the kindness of our escorts all added to make this an unforgettable tour. JW (Greece, Turkey & the Med tour)

We have done many tours & overseas trips. Travel 2 U USA East Coast was the best trip we have every done. To have someone like Andrew, with his lovely Michele leading us, caring for every detail and seeing to every arrangement was truly relaxing for us. Neil & Robyn Struthers (USA – The East Coast tour)

It was a wonderful holiday, so many interesting sights to see and experience. The cruise in the middle made a pleasant break in the coaching routine. The weather was perfect, couldn’t have asked for a more. Thank you Andrew and Michele, you were great escorts. Fay Leonard (USA – The East Coast Tour)

This carefully planned tour, a relaxing pace, excellent centrally located hotels. A knowledgeable supportive guide who was available to assist members of the tour group.

This tour was the most exciting adventure. John & Tim looked after me as if I was their mother. I would definitely travel with your groups again and recommend it. ED - Wild Africa

	The Wild Africa Tour was the first time we had travelled with Travel 2 U. We had a fantastic time and were very impressed with the attentiveness of John and Tim our escorts. The itinerary more than met our expectations, especially the three game parks. It was great to have the companionship of a great group of New Zealanders.

CANADA & ALASKA CRUISE TOUR

As a single travelling with a friend but sharing with someone I didn’t know for the first time I began the trip with some trepidations. I needn’t have worried! Andrew & Michele were so welcoming my new “buddy” enthusiastic & friendly, the group so inclusive and fun to be with and the tour amazing. The stampede brilliant - especially loved the show, scenery spectacular & the cruise an experience of a lifetime. Saving up for the next one. Pam

……..We barely lifted a suitcase at all. The organisation was unsurpassable and so professionally done. Three weeks of a fantastic holiday and worth every cent………..the whole trip was flawless. Pauline McKenzie & Alan Pool   Loved it all. Scenery, shows, activities & company. Mike & Di Hanham

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour. At first we were a little apprehensive about the “tour” thing, but we shouldn’t have been. Would do another now. The people in the group were treat and we all got on well. Richard & Lynn Fisher   Every step along the way of the complete tour so well organized and stress free for us. Andrew & Michele were amazing guides enabling us to get the most out of the trip. A M McNeill

It has been a long time ambition for us to visit Canada & Alaska & this tour far exceeded our expectations. Andrew & Michele were extremely helpful & professional. Their enthusiasm for the places we visited helped make the tour so successful. Val & Kevin Schmack   Butchart Gardens, Rockies, Whistler, Vancouver, Victoria, Cruise, Glaciers….so many highlights to be treasured forever. Nothing was a bother with everything finely tuned, finely timed and Andrew & Michele’s friendship evenly shared with everyone. Jennifer Neumann

CROATIA, DALMATIA & ISTRIA TOUR

As with all the escorted tours with Travel 2 U….this tour was another great experience. The “family” at Travel 2 U is unique & why we return again & again. J W   A well organised & run tour. I saw everything I wanted to see plus more. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Well done Travel 2 U. A great way to travel when you’re on your own!!! Rob McCreanor   A wonderful holiday, with all aspects looked after by an experienced guide & its tour company. A small group of similar aged people made the visits to the sights so much easier for all of us. Alison & Cyril

A well-paced tour so I was able to enjoy the places we visited. Andrew’s knowledge and enthusiasm to share the different aspects of the countries we visited added a deeper appreciation of this area of the Mediterranean. Ivan Jones   This tour was fantastic. One of the best! Thank you all for putting all these variety of tours together. I shall always travel with this family “Travel 2 U”. B W

WILD AFRICA

This trip was beyond my expectations. It was just amazing, so different from anything else I’ve done. To have close up, unobstructed views of the animals was at times heart stopping. FANTASTIC. It gets my highest recommendation as do the Travel 2 U team. Kath Kirk

A well organised tour. John & Brent were always extremely courteous & helpful. Their knowledge was impressive when asked about the flora, fauna & geography of the areas visited, all of which made the trip ever more enjoyable & was extremely commendable. Chris

This is the best adventure with so much variety seeing wild animals close up, new born elephant and giraffe. The Tour leaders were fun and had us so well organised. This was a dream holiday, from the camping in tents with elephant outside and lions roaring at night to walking on Table Mountain, riding an elephant, to bartering in markets – all such fun. GJ

I would highly recommend Travel 2 U tours especially if you are travelling on your own. They really look after you. MJ   This tour blew me away. I can’t believe how exciting it was. This was not a holiday – it was an adventure. Robyn Steele

	Another holiday totally free from the concerns normally associated with overseas travel. It would be difficult to imagine more caring & efficient tour leaders. Well done again Travel 2 U.
