What Other Travelers Are Saying...“Thank you for putting together a fantastic trip to Italy together for my family group. Every detail was covered and the whole multi-generational group had a great time. Our tour escort was with us every step of the way and made this a trip of a lifetime. Thank you.” – Cindy

“The wealth of knowledge and recommendations for our Honeymoon in Italy was beyond perfect. We can’t thank you enough!” – Steve & Danielle

“Your Grand Tour of Poland exceeded our expectations. The service was wonderful! Dinner each night was a perfect mix [between hotels and restaurants]. Our travel agent made the right choice in choosing Celtic Tours.” – Marie

“Our Germany tour was the absolute best. Munich, Stuttgart and Frankfurt were that much more enjoyable, when every thing was taken care of for us. Please thank Kathy Gordon and your diligent staff were exceptional!” – Rose

“I just wanted to let you know that our Heart of Germany tour exceeded our expectations! There were three people in our tour group...Bob and I and a charming, intelligent lady from Lebanon. We traveled in a very comfortable Mercedes van with the best driver/guide ever. The hotels were all first rate, as well as the included meals, etc. Our guide was very experienced and informative about all our stops. Since we were in a smaller vehicle, he even took a couple of side trips in the towns that could not be accessed by a tour bus. He gave us excellent recommendations for shops, restaurants and regional delicacies. We ate and drank well, but balanced it by walking miles every day. When we’re ready to travel again, we’ll surely contact you. Thanks for everything you did along the way so we could have the perfect vacation. With many thanks,” – Joanne
