…”had a most wonderful time…”
Great Cities – October 2012
Robert and I had a most wonderful time on our recent tour. We are pleased with the way our trip was planned, the information given to us before the start of our trip, and…our Tour Leader. The local guides were wonderful, and the hotels were lovely.
…much thanks to all of you at Queenslander.
~ Shirley
“We would definitely travel with Queenslander again...”
Great Cities - September 2012
…Our trip was very well organized. We were impressed by the hotel locations which allowed us to walk to nearby attractions such as Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain in Rome as well as the Duomo and several Piazzas in Florence. We were also pleased that we had taken the five meal option. Those meals were very enjoyable and some offered us the chance to get to know the other eight people in our group…
All of our transportation was timely and the drivers, especially on the Amalfi Coast route, were cordial and clearly experts in the areas.
Our tour captain…was upbeat, positive and took everything in stride. She was knowledgeable, kept us organized and on time, attentive to our needs, and got us everywhere we were supposed to be. She always had a smile, shared her insights on the city or region we were in, and went out of her way to be helpful…
We would definitely travel with Queenslander again (and) would recommend the company to our friends….
~ Winnifred & Jacqueline
“a superb experience”
Great Cities Tour – September 2012
Our tour was a superb experience for Karen and I and ALL
aspects of the trip exceeded our expectations. The itinerary,
accommodations, venues, tour and city guides, transportation, meals
and beverages were just outstanding. We LOVED Italy-its beautiful
countryside, magnificent cities, terrific hill top villages, the history and
the treasures, and the wonderful people themselves. A huge
contributor to our most memorable holiday was our fabulous tour guide…
What an asset to our group and obviously to Queenslander-tireless,
organized beyond belief, knowledgeable, professional, and so much fun
to be with-we all just loved her. We were also so fortunate to be
accompanied by 7 other awesome couples who quickly became friends,
and we were sad to say goodbye to everyone. Thanks so much for all your
efforts in building such a high quality tour company-there was not one hitch,
just perfect execution in all areas.
Best Regards,
~ Karen and Doug
“I couldn’t have imagined a more incredible trip!”
Great Cities Tour – September 201 2
Hi Mark! I need to send you a HUGE heartfelt "THANK YOU!" for a "DREAM" trip to Italy!...There was nothing easy or lazy about what you organized for us…I couldn't have imagined a more incredible trip! Both Dave and I will live this trip, over and over in our memories! We will definitely plan another vacation with you in the future! I have many friends who are enjoying our photos and stories of Italy, that will probably plan something with you as well…I just pray you don't get too busy, that you get booked up!???
I must say, we loved our fellow travelers! I know that is the unpredictable element of group vacations…this group of people were so much FUN!
Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!
~ Catherine and Dave
“Had the most amazing time…”
Great Cities – September 2012
Had the most amazing time on this tour. Elaine was the perfect guide…her Italian flair just added so much to the
experience.
I will recommend this tour company to anyone I know that would be choosing to go on a trip. Once again, thank you.
~ Pamela
“the most satisfying experience!”
Great Cities Tour – September 2012
Thank you very much for providing one of the most satisfying travel
experiences of our lives. Check that, it was the most satisfying
experience! While all the sights we saw were terrific, I think it was
the personal relationships that made our group what it was. We had
so, so much fun.
Hoping to travel with you again sometime in the future,
~ Charlie and Mary Lou
“…great job putting this together…”
Personalized Independent Adventure – June 2012
What a great tour the Radkes had in Perugia!…took us to a great winery where we had lunch and then we toured more of the small towns around the winery…loved the cool cellars of the winery. You did a great job of putting this tour together and we all thank you very much for your work…Ciao
~ Hugh and Cheryl
“…simply the best vacation that we have ever taken.”
Great Cities Tour – June 2012
I wanted to take a moment to write to you about our experience on the Great Cities of Italy tour…
We had simply the best vacation that we have ever taken. I cannot think of anything that I would change…The itinerary that you have put together was ideal. There was just enough time touring and just enough free time. There was just enough time with the group and just enough time on our own. We saw so much, but did not feel exhausted by the end of the trip. The hotels and their locations were perfect. The restaurants were great as well. I have already recommended your company to many friends and will continue to do so.
I look forward to taking another Queenslander Tour in the future! Many thanks…for a wonderful experience.
~ Patty
“We had a wonderful time.”
Spain & Portual Tour – June 2012
“Everything with Elaine and the trip through Portugal and Spain went beautifully. We had a wonderful time. Queenslander Tours did a great job with the planning and organization, and Elaine is fabulous. She did great with the kids and they loved her (and miss her)!...”
~ Julie
“I don’t think anyone could have been better.”
Great Cities Tour – June 2012
“…I did want to tell you how much we loved Elaine, our tour captain. I don't think anyone could have been better. I also wanted to mention the excellent city guides we had in Venice and Rome. Both were top notch. Finally, we were glad that we chose the budget hotels. We found them adequate for our needs and preferred spending the money on other things. But it's nice to have a choice.
~ Bobra
““…felt as if I were treated like a queen.”
Great Cities – June 2012
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for us on our spectacular trip to Italy. You went above and beyond…I felt as if I were treated like a queen. I felt special…Thank you for remembering our 47th Anniversary with the lovely bottle of Merlot…We certainly had a great time. This is a trip I won't soon forget…
~ Carole
“…had a great time in Italy.”
Great Cities – May 2012
Mike and I had a great time in Italy. We enjoyed how the trip was laid out. Mostly, Dan was great, as was everyone in the office prior to the trip.
~ Karen
“…everything was fabulous!”
Great Cities Tour – May 2012
I just wanted to say thank you for your help in getting our trip set up. We just returned Saturday evening and everything was fabulous!
You had mentioned you couldn’t wait to return to Italy, and I can see why.
~ Kathleen
“The whole trip was top drawer.”
Great Cities Tour – May 2012
The whole trip was top drawer. Captain Dan was great. He made sure we got every bit of the experience promised us. No detail was missed. There was ample "alone" time to balance all the stuff on the tour schedule. In short, QueensLander knew exactly what they were doing, and did it phenomenally well.
Restuarants were great, hotels were tops - and in best locations.
I will recommend and do another trip with QueensLander…
~ Gregg and Maureen
…”what a fabulous time we had…”
Great Cities Tour – May 2012
We had to write to you to tell you what an absolutely fabulous time we had on this tour! Out of 5 stars, we would give it an 8!!!
Having worked for an airline for 25+ years, I was not totally on board about going on a tour…After experiencing the Italy’s Great Cities tour…I would not hesitate to take another Queenslander tour and would recommend it to anyone who is interested (in fact, I’ve already done so on a trip advisor forum)
Dan was the best! He made every person in our group feel important and special and went out of his way to make our trip so enjoyable! Even before the trip, Dan called us at home and talked to us to make sure we had all our questions and concerns addressed…our friends were astonished – they couldn’t believe that we got a call from our tour captain before we even left. So when we got to Venice, we already felt like we knew Dan which went a long way to making us comfortable and at ease.
This was just our introduction to how wonderful a time we would have.
Every detail was planned, nothing was overlooked. Great restaurants, great local guides, but most of all, a great tour manager. People went out of their way wherever we were to make sure we had a good experience…Everyone in our tour group had a great time...Thank you for finding such wonderful tour captains and for planning such a wonderful itinerary and experience..
~ Carol & Jim
“Everything was just perfect!!!”
Great Cities Tour – April 2012
“…what a wonderful and AMAZING trip Italy was. I don't think I will come down off this cloud for some time. Every time I tell someone about the trip, I get all excited again. Everything was just perfect!!! Love the small group tour. The only thing I could say negatively is that we didn't STAY LONG ENOUGH!!...Thank you again. Your staff is wonderful--everyone from the travel agents to the guides!”
~ Corinne Pike
“…thank you all for making our trip so memorable.”
Great Cities Tour – March 2012
I want to thank you all for making our trip so memorable. Mom is doing well. Since she has been back she has been walking three or four times a week…She said that the trip to Italy has helped strengthen her back because of all the walking . She also mentioned that she has more energy than before. Mom can't wait to get pictures made so she can have a photo album. She's already asked me twice if she can come over to view pictures on my computer…Thank you all again for being so kind to all four of us.

I
can
not
say
enough
good
things
about
every
aspect
of
the
tour.
You
are
more
than
welcome
to
give
my
email
to
anyone
considering
this
trip.
Janette
was
fantastic
as
were
all
the
knowledgable
city
guides.
The
itineary
was
perfectly
planned
and
executed
making
the
very
most
of
our
time,
no
waiting
in
lines
for
us!
I
really
can
not
believe
all
that
we
were
able
to
accomplish
in
a
relatively
brief
time.
I
loved
the
hotels
and
they
could
not
have
been
in
better
locations,
the
dinners
were
superb
and
all
the
extras
like
the
gondola
ride
with
music,
appetizers
and
champagne
on
roof
tops
and
the
winery
were
experiences
I
could
never
have
had
on
my
own.
The
free
night
Janette
took
several
of
us
to
the
top
of
Florence
where
we
had
another
outstanding
meal
with
phenomal
views
of
the
city.
She
gave
us
great
recommendations
for
whatever
we
were
interested
in
and
was
always
giving
us
information
and
stories
about
all
the
cities
and
historical
sites.
I
can't
believe
how
much
I
learned
and
how
interesting
it
was.
It
was
the
best
vacation
I
have
ever
had.
I
highly
recommend
your
company
and
the
outstanding
value
you
provide.
My
fellow
travelers
were
a
great
group
of
people.
Everyone
was
easy
going
and
enjoyable.
Absolutely
a
5
star
trip.
Thank
you
very
much.

I just wanted to let you know how much my sisters and I enjoyed our trip to Italy. It was everything that we hoped that it would be. Elaine was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, interesting, entertaining, unflappable, and just fun to be with. She added immeasurably to our enjoyment of the trip.

It’s
so
nice
to
be
back
after
such
a
wonderful
tour
of
Italy…
Thank
you
so
much
for
such
an
amazing
tour.
All
of
our
hotels
were
impeccable
and
I
was
not
disappointed
at
all.
We
loved
Sorrento
just
as
you
said
and
Florence
was
our
favorite!
I
also
wanted
to
tell
you
how
happy
we
were
with
our
tour
guide,
Jodie!
She
was
such
a
pleasure
to
spend
10
days
with.
She
is
always
happy,
patient
and
we
learned
a
great
deal
of
information
from
her.
We
enjoyed
all
of
her
dinner
recommendations
and
she
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
making
sure
that
Gianna
(4
years
old)
was
always
entertained.
She
was
always
available
for
any
questions
we
had
and
was
very
flexible
with
our
family
as
we
decided
to
do
or
not
to
do
various
tours.
Never
did
she
seem
upset
with
our
cranky
kids
or
tired
of
dealing
with
us.
By
the
end
of
this
trip
our
family
really
feels
that
we
gained
a
new
friend!

…Best
Family
Vacation…
Great
Cities
Tour,
June
2011
We
just
wanted
to
once
again
personally
thank
you
and
Queenslander
for
the
best
family
vacation
we
have
ever
had…we
were
totally
blown
away
by
the
way
we
were
taken
care
of
every
minute
of
the
tour,
from
the
first
meeting
at
the
airport
in
Venice
to
the
bellini
on
the
boat
to
our
hotel
to
the
boxed
breakfast
arranged
when
we
had
to
leave
at
the
crack
of
dawn
to
make
our
connections
home.
We
applaud
you
and
all
of
the
folks
at
Queenslander
for
the
high
quality
they
promise
and
most
importantly
deliver
in
spades.
Our
expectations
were
not
only
met
but
exceeded!
We
could
not
imagine
a
better
a
friend
and
guide
to
introduce
us
to
the
many
varied
cities
along
our
Italian
adventure…you
were
always
ready
with
great
information
about
what
to
expect
and
interesting
tid
bits
about
every
site
we
visited,
whether
up
close
or
just
from
the
coach
window.
You
were
always
gracious
and
helpful
and
more
than
generous
to
all
of
us.
We
were
always
relaxed
and
at
ease
because
you
took
the
stress
off
of
travel
for
us.
I
only
wish
that
we
had
discovered
Queenslander
earlier
in
our
traveling
career.

Queenslander
made
all
of
the
trip
easy,

free,
and
fun.
We
have
in
the
past
always
planned
our
trips,
fought
crowds,
drove
around
lost
and
reading
maps.
Queenslander
is
a
perfect
way
to
experience

and
has
spoiled
us
for
the

Exceptional!
The
quality
of
the
tour
exceeded
my
expectations
(which
were
already
quite
high
as
I
have
been
on
tours,
been
a
tour
director,
and
knew
what
to
and
not
to
expect!)
I've
tried
to
think
of
things
that
perhaps
would
make
it
even
better,
but
just
now
I
can't.
The
tour
time
vs.
free
time
was
just
the
right
amount;
the
meals
were
fantastic
and
well
worth
the
upgrades;
our
Tour
Captain,
Sandy
Gregory
was
the
best,
and
from

to

in
preparation
all
went
like
a
well
oiled

I
viewed
a
travel
tour
with
trepidation,
thinking
about
buses,
and
loud
Americans,
and
waiting
for
people,
and

etc.
This
was
a
perfect
small
tour,
with
an

of
people
who
blended
exceptionally
well,
I
thought.
No

We

I
just
had
to
write
you
to
tell
you
what
a
magnificent
time
we
had
on
the
Queenslander
Tour.
Getting
there
was
a
bit
trying
with
not
knowing
if
we
could
go
until
only
a
few
hours
before
we
were
due
at
the
airport
because
of
the
Icelandic
volcano.
It
was
worth
the
extra
effort.
After
talking
with
you
several
times
we
had
very
high
expectations
that
I
must
say
were
surpassed.
We
were
a
little
disappointed
to
find
that
we
were
the
only
ones
who
made
it
to
Milan
and
that
another
couple
would
join
us
later
for
only
a
few
days.
We
can
truthfully
say
that
once
we
got
there
and
met
Sandy
Gregory
all
our
concerns
were
dismissed.
We
found
her
to
be
very
service
oriented,
fun
to
be
with,
and
knowledgable.
This
was
a
different
way
for
us
to
travel,
but
everything
was
just
great.
We
came
to
regard
Sandy
as
a
dear
friend
in
a
very
short
time.
The
hotels
were
quaint
and
romantic,
the
restaurants
selected
with
care,
the
itinerary
great.
Sandy
works
really
hard
to
make
you
proud
of
her
and
provide
her
clients
with
a
memorable
experience.
We
definitely
will
keep
Queenslander
and
your
super
staff
and
goals
for
quality
service
for
touring
in
mind
as
we
plan
future
trips.

You
probably
do
not
remember
this,
but
when
I
called
you
last
fall
asking
for
information
on
your
company
and
your
tours
(because
I
had
never
heard
of
Queenslander),
I
explained
that
my
mom
had
always
wanted
to
go
to
Italy
and
never
had
the
chance.
I
told
you
that
3
years
ago,
as
she
was
battling
breast
cancer,
I
promised
her
that
we
would
go
as
soon
as
we
could.
She
looked
forward
to
it
all
through
her
treatments,
sort
of
like
a
bit
of
light
at
the
end
of
a
tunnel.
That's
how
important
this
trip
was
to
her
and
I
remember
asking
you
why
I
should
trust
you
with
it.
And
you
told
me.
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
you
and
Sandy
more
than
delivered
on
what
you
told
me
that
day.
Thank
you
so
much
for
making
this
trip
so
special
for
my
mom.
I
will
always
be
grateful.
And,
yes,
we
are
already
looking
forward
to
another
trip
in
your
capable
hands!
Keep
adding
destinations!

with
this
very
important
graduation
trip
with
my
daughter.
We
will
never
forget
it.
(And
with
1500
or
more
pictures
between
the
two
of
us,
we
have
everything
on
record,
so
we
won’t
forget!)
What
I
was
most
impressed
with
is
the
quality
and
integrity
of
your
tour
captain,
Dan
Dieckhaus.
I
can’t
tell
you
how
much
we
adored
him.
He
was
thorough,
courteous,
helpful,
entertaining
and
always
sensitive
as
to
how
every
member
of
the
group
was
doing
and
whether
or
not
they
were
enjoying
themselves.
He
took
all
our
preferences
into
consideration…
He
was
always
there
early
to
remind
us
about
our
itinery
or
dining
plans…
Helped
suggest
different
routes
for
walking
tours…
He
took
time
to
help
us
understand
and
plan
our
post-tour
details
with
the
train
and
other
unknowns
that
we
would
be
facing.
In
a
nutshell,
we
felt
extremely
well
taken
care
of
during
our
entire
10
day
adventure
on
the
tour.
It
was
clear
that
Dan
really
wanted
us
to
have
a
positive
experience,
and
I
will
not
hesitate
to
recommend
Queenslander
for
any
of
my
friends
or
family
that
wants
a
great
tour
of
Italy.
I
can’t
wait
to
go
on
another
tour
of
yours
with
my
husband!!
Please
consider
this
my
heartfelt
testimonial
of
faith
in
your
tour
company.
You
definitely
delivered
what
you
promised
and
much,
much
more.

for

Our

our
"escorts,"
whenever
they
would
see
us,
my

son-in-law
and
myself,
they
would
ask
how
everything
was
for
us,
if
we
needed
anything,
they
both
made
we
three
feel
so
genuinely
special.
We
were

their

ensured
that

Best
in
Managing
&
Structure,
Group
Leader
This
letter
is
written
in
recommendation
of
Queenslander
Tours.
Our
program
took
a
group
of
19
people
on
a
tour
of
Australia
that
lasted
14
days.
Our
purposes
were
educational
and
recreational
and
our
group
ranged
from
11
years
to
84
years.
We
visited
Sydney,
Darwin,
Alice
Springs,
Ayer's
Rock,
Cairns
and
Brisbane
as
well
as
New
Zealand.
We
found
Queenslander
Tour
to
be
an
ideal
company
for
people
who
wanted
to
travel
safely
and
desired
to
have
flexible
arrangements
for
a
wide
range
of
ages
and
interests.
Our
tour
captain
was
able
to
make
every
arrangement
without
any
anxiety
or
problems
on
the
part
of
our
group.
People
were
able
to
take
special
interest
side
trips
without
any
problems.
The
advice
given
about
what
to
see
and
what
not
to
see
was
flawless,
and
the
choice
of
travel
alternatives
within
a
geographic
area
was
exceptional.
We
have
been
doing
travel
programs
for
over
25
years,
and
we
recommend
Queenslander
Tours
as
the
best
we
have
seen
in
all
aspects
of
managing
and
structuring
a
trip.

to

the
chemistry
between
the
tour
captain
and
the
group.
Our
tour
captain
led
and
encouraged
spiritual
activity
on
the
part
of
the
group.
When
someone
didn't
want
to
participate
they
were
not
coerced,
but
the
spiritual
leadership
was
there.
In
addition
to
this,
the
group
leader
worked
at
developing
friendships
with
members
of
the
group
and
took
special
interest
in
our
minority
group
-
the
children.
We
found
the
prices
to
be
good,
the
leadership
excellent
and
the
spiritual
nature
of
the
leadership
to
be
exceptional.

Continually
Amazed
at
Performance
Grand
Australia
Tour
Now
that
we
have
all
returned
safely
and
have
once
again
taken
up
our
respective
appointments,
I
feel
a
need
to
sit
down
and
write
you
regarding
the
tour
to
Australia.
I
know
that
you
have
not
been
working
with
the
travel
business
very
long,
especially
considering
your
age,
and
this
serves
to
confirm
my
feelings
with
respect
to
the
great
amount
of
organization
and
preparation
that
went
in
to
the
planning.
I
have
been
on
many
tours
in
my
life
and
have
had
the
chance
to
lead
tours
that
have
been
organized
by
independent
agents,
and
considering
the
amount
of
travel
that
we
undertook
and
the
occasional
isolation
that
we
were
a
part
of,
I
can
say
without
reservation
that
I
was
continually
impressed
and
amazed
at
the
quality
and
performance
of
you
and
your
staff.
The
hotels
were
exceptional,
the
flights
and
transfers
for
our
part
were
smooth,
and
the
tours
and
tour
guides
were
first
class.
All
the
tour
participants
were
very
pleased
with
the
tour
and
this
was
indicated
recently
at
our
reunion
when
people
travelled
as
far
as
Texas
and
Alabama
for
a
four-hour
reunion.
I
would
not
hesitate
in
highly
recommending
Queenslander
to
anyone
that
might
be
considering
the
position
of
host.

again

led.

of

It

it
