Comments from our clients
Client: Barbara Ohm Tour: Trip Andalucia
We had a great time in Andalucia and very much enjoyed the trip - thank you.
We liked all the hotels - they were all charming, comfortable, and provided great service. We particularly liked the accommodations in Bubion, Priego de Cordoba, and Malaga. Thanks for you help with booking this trip. We will keep you in mind for planning any future vacations in Spain.
Client: Birgit Rennola, Finland Tour: Andalucia trip
Yleensä kun minulle kehutaan jotain paikkaa jossain päin maailmaa, niin suhtaudun siihen ainakin jonkin verran skeptisesti ja niin tälläkin kertaa, kun Ira Helsingissä kehui majoitusta Bubionissa MUTTA olin/mme tosi positiivisesti yllättyneitä sekä majapaikkaan että Bubioniin. Varsinkin yleiset tilat olivat tosi positiivinen asia ja paikan omistajan oli mukava.
Lippujen lunastus etukäteen Alhambraan sujui niin hyvin kuin vain voi. Varsinaisena käyntipäivänä kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu - taisimme päästä alueelle jopa ennen porttien avautumista. KIITOS kun hankitte liput ja annoitte niin hyvät ohjeet.
Eli teidän tekemänne järjestelyt pelasivat tosi hyvin ja majoitusta voi suositella - ilmastoinnin puutteen minusta korvasi ystävällinen emäntä ja joustava suhtautuminen matkailijoihin. "Tässä on keittiö - ottakaa itse aamupalaa ja nauttikaa mitä haluatte, kun lähdette niin varhain" Olisipa tällaista muuallakin....
Toivottavasti Ira osallistuu ensi vuoden Matkamessuihin. Olisi kiva keskustella hänen kanssaan - mitä hän tällä kertaa ehdottaisi meille.
Client: Charity Keefer Tour: Trip Andalucia
I cannot tell you what an absolute incredible time we had in Andalucia and it was all thanks to you!!! Bradley and I both believe this was our best trip ever (and we have traveled a lot)! We just feel you put so much thought and planning into our trip we felt like royalty for a week! So to you, we send a million thanks for doing an outstanding job for us!
From the beginning, everything went very smooth, which really made the trip so much more enjoyable because it was worry free. All of the hotels were absolutely incredible! We couldn’t tell you our favorite because they were all so unique and the service in each was top of the line. The Bodega tour in Ronda was spectacular! It was so personalized and interesting.
The horseback riding in Vejer de la Frontera was completely above and beyond any expectation we could have possibly had! What an incredible experience! In summary, we feel the towns we visited were exactly what we were wishing for. They were the perfect sizes and we truly felt we got a taste of Andalucian life. The distance between the towns was very easy to drive. We felt we were able to take our time to explore the coast and the area while we traveled from town to town.
We truly cannot thank you enough for everything you did! I would highly recommend you to anyone wishing an unforgettable trip to your area! I am certain we will try to make it back to see the rest of Andalucia and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again. You truly do an incredible job and you made our first anniversary simply perfect!
Thanks for everything that you have done for us!!!
Client: Craig and Marian Goodwin, UK Tour: Renaissance among the olive trees (Province of Jaén)
Thank you for recommending this tour. It was just right for a 3 night break – the cities were small enough to walk to the main sites without getting too tired. Dining in the evenings was fun as well. Your choice of hotels was excellent and the information pack that you included was a great help on our travels around the region.
Client: J, Dorian, Málaga Tour: Golf in the Moorish Cádiz (Vejer de la Frontera)
A change of atmosphere improved my game and the missus was happy with the cultural activities. I recommend this to fellow golfers out there.
Client: James and Marie Summers, Wales Tour: Charm of the White Villages (Cádiz)
The wild bulls were amazing, nothing like we´d ever seen before!
Client: John and Marie Knights, Mijas Costa, Málaga Tour: Manzanilla Wine in Sanlúcar
Dear Ira,
We want to thank you for arranging our lovely week-end at Sanlucar de Barrameda but first........... we want to say "Thank You" to your staff, who were nothing but courteous and helpful all the way through the booking process.
Bodega Visit:
We joined a Spanish party for the tour, (our Castellano is of a sufficient level to understand a guided tour) but after only a short while Fernando, the head tour guide, found us and separated us from the main group, explaining that 'MoreThanSun' clients must receive special treatment and he took us on a more extensive and private tour of the Bodega. We sampled some lovely Sherries, although some were not just to Marie's taste, so I finished up drinking quite a few of her samples and my legs reminded me so, when it was time to leave. What a lovely, family run, Bodega it was too. WELL sign posted.
The Hotel:
The British, who read this, will understand what I mean about Dr.Who's 'Tardis'. The hotel was just another old (but splendid) Spanish frontage in any street but, 'WOW!' what a beautiful, beautiful place once inside the door. We can recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to see OLD Spain in the 21st Century. (I've never seen so many cleaning ladies looking after a place). The room was lovely and the bathroom huge and as far as Marie was concerned, it scored top points........it had a HAIR DRYER.
The Boat Trip to Doñana National Park:
We have to admit to going there once before, but the fact that the park was included in our trip again was the real 'MAGNET' for us. As a devout conservationist myself, La Doñana is almost a 'Mecca' and to have been there twice is a thrill. The boat trip was calm and relaxing, the weather was kind, and our guide (a young woman) was very well informed and spoke clear English. (Her Castellano was clear too, not Andaluz). I think that anyone who goes there will appreciate the WORLD importance of the park by the way the all the prohibitions are strictly enforced.
Well Done, 'MoreThanSun', we shall be recommending you.
Client: Ken Hensey, Ireland Tour: Moorish Roots in Granada (Province of Granada)
We thought the area of La Alpujarra was absolutely stunning, and the hotels were really lovely. We had acquired quite a lot of guide books and information for ourselves, but your very comprehensive pack was still welcome. There was plenty to do, and we did several walks, which we enjoyed especially. I am very grateful to you for your help in finding exactly what we were looking for: peaceful countryside.
Client: M. Bontje, Netherlands Tour: Green Atlantic Coast (Cantabria and Asturias)
All arrangements worked beautifully and I thank you for all of your patience and assistance. You were right about the northern area. I hope you will keep me on your mailing list.
Client: Meghann Zimmerman Tour: Trip Andalucia
gracias otra vez por todo. nos hemos divirtido muchisimo! Solo queria decirte que los dos hoteles eran muy buenos. Pues, muchas gracias por todos los servicios y todo tu ayuda.
Client: N. Springer, Hannover, Germany Tour: On the Silver Road (Extremadura)
We had a fantastic trip and all went to plan. It´s hard to pick out a favourite spot as we saw so much. We particularly enjoyed our stays in Trujillo and and the Jerte Valley. Its just a pity it all had to end.
Client: Nayla Nassar, USA Tour: Andalucia
Your travel agency did a fabulous job in answering our initial request, tailoring our itinerary just as we wished it to be and following up throughout our trip, even when we e mailed in last minute requests for booking in hotels as we were on the road with only my blackberry as a tool. You were outstanding!
We had a fun filled time at all of the different places that you recommended. We so appreciate all that you have done to make our trip memorable: Your welcoming us upon our arrival in Madrid with a great welcome packet, your prompt, efficient help when we decided to book more hotels at the last minute as we were driving to those destinations, your following up to make sure that all went well. You truly are a first class travel agency and I will highly recommend your services to any friend or any other business who might be able to benefit from your professional and efficient help. Thank you for everything, you were truly wonderful.
Client: Oskar Jansson, Sweden Tour: How About Madrid? (Madrid)
A great combination pre-arranged activities and possibilities to do what we wanted. The museums are exceptionally impressive which really was what we were looking for. The information that was provided helped a lot with finding just the best places for us. If you are still wondering should you go visit Madrid, stop and go see it for yourself.
Client: R. Tyler, Greenwich UK Tour: Treasures of the North (La Rioja and Basque Country)
I wanted to let you know that we had a lovely time in Northern Spain. The hotels we stayed in were great! All in all we felt the service you provided was very good and have no hesitation recommending you to others.
Client: Raimo Niskanen, Espoo, Finland Tour: Valkoisten Kylien Viehätystä (Cádizin maakunta)
Vietimme vaimoni kanssa hienot neljä päivää Härän Maalla. Cádizin kaupunki oli minulle jo ennestään tuttu, mutta maakunnalla olikin paljon muutakin tarjottavaa! Yöpymispaikat olivat loistavia, kaikki kaupungit erilaisia ja opastetut kierrokset mielenkiintoisia. Vapaana luonnossa kulkevat härät jäivät elävästi mieleen! Meille tarjoamanne GPS navigaattorin kanssa matkustaminen oli todella helppoa, emme eksyneet kertaakaan. Marraskuussa suuntaamme Córdoban alueen reitille. Kiitos hyvästä palvelusta!
Client: Rich & Ann Tour: Experiencing Spain
Hello, Ira
We made it back last night- just wanted to thank you and Anu again for all the arrangements - we enjoyed each hotel - the best one was the Posada del Peine - excellent location, quiet and great breakfast spread, although each hotel had a unique character and charm and all had very good service....
Thanks again - I'll highly recommend you to friends and family in the future. I hope to return soon to the beautiful country of Spain - especially if or when the US dollar is stronger!
Client: Steve Kansagor Tour: Experience the Northern Spain
All your arrangements were great. Villa in Abalos and Jose were charming, and Merced's
meals were excellent.We had different breakfasts each day of our stay, and the dinners were outstanding. The tour of bodegas Vivanca and Puelles were very interesting. We learned a lot about Rioja wines. The Hotel Abando was in an excellent location. Countryside is quiet and lovely. Loved Barcelona, the Rambla, Gran Via, Guggenheim and Miro museums. We could have stayed there longer. So much to see. You did an excellent job, Ira, and made our vacation simple, and trouble-free. The maps and tour package information was extremely valuable.
All the hotels were great. We had some very good meals and I personally always miss the coffee which is so much better than the US. We will certainly recommend your services to our families and friends.Muchas gracias, mi amiga.
Client: The Ryans, UK Tour: Thousand and One Nights of Granada
We had visited Granada only shortly before and now had the chance to explore it a bit more. This tour was just perfect for that, a no-fuss relaxing visit. Thank you.
