Second Tour, also Five Stars
We have taken two tours via Gohagan and Yale Alumni Travels, the first on Sea Cloud Spirit, the second on Atlas's World Traveler. We love small ship cruises and personal attention, and we're crazy about the Sea Clouds, but World Traveler was probably the most comfortable ship we've been on. I cannot say enough about how responsive your people were, both pre-trip and during the trip. There were too many to mention in our last trip on the Adriatic, beyond Anthony and Dragan, plus the local guides in Italy, Croatia, and Bosnia Herzegovina. Nothing was left to chance. Communications were superb. Everyone was amazingly responsive, especially when I wiped out in the heat outside Bari because the walk from the ship to the City was too long and I had to go back in an Uber. Anthony stayed with me until the car arrived. Note: if the walks from the piers to the cities are this long, golf carts or something might be useful. None of us are as young as we used to be. I appreciated the groups that were adapted for slower-paced walkers. I love the people who were our faculty guides. We've traveled with Elliot before, and he's great. He set up dinners and a cocktail party for our very small group and was a lot of fun. The tours were very active, and I felt guilty if I had to spend a day on board resting up because everything was so fascinating. Your people seemed able to turn on a dime to accommodate requests, and I was impressed by how they noted down feedback about guides. I was thrilled by the opportunity to see the Ravenna mosaics. Very little shopping time, which was just as well -- we did quite enough damage in the time allotted. The food was great. The hotels were well chosen. I appreciated the waiting areas during transit and being escorted to the airport outside Venice. We look forward to the next trip with you.
