Gretchen Wilmouth on August 29, 2010 at 11:31 AM said: Hi Kathy, Sorry for the delay, it's been very busy since we got back. We had a great time - you picked good B&Bs for us (some better than ones here at home!!!). Sharon & Johny at the Redbourne Hilltop were great - they made sure we knew where & what we were doing all the time. Really liked the place in Hermanus on the coast also - we saw one whale while we were eating lunch. The Game Lodge was very relaxing (nice break from driving). Thanks again for helping us with a great trip!! Gretchen

Jim & Laura Putnam- World Cup 2010 on July 16, 2010 at 12:35 PM said: We have returned from South Africa and Zimbabwe over a week ago and are still on an high from the energy of World Cup and sites, sounds, and spirit of the people of Africa. Three weeks of non-stop action including soccer games, shark diving, Table Mountain hiking, gourmet dinning at value pricing, and six safaris at three sites, just to name a few activities. Kathy was able to put together a very tightly scheduled vacation (7 in-country flights)with great accommodation choices. For others planning a trip we strongly suggest you add Figtree Safari Lodge at Addo park and Vic Falls to your itinerary

Anna Graham and Fred Wolf on March 22, 2010 at 06:30 AM said: Kathy worked very hard to put together the trip of our dreams - to South Africa. It contained a little bit of everything over a 30-day period. We're at about day 18 and I can say her work is well-appreciated. The individual tours and tour guides, the hotels, the car rental, the many internal flights, and our safari lodge were all perfect - and in the case of the Kapama safari lodge, exceeded all possible expectations. The entire trip has made me smile broadly on a daily basis. We're about ready for our afternoon game drive! Gotta go. Thanks so much, Kathy.

Martin Staques on September 16, 2009 at 07:28 AM said: The trip to China that Kathy Moroney prepared for my wife and me was a revelation as to how simple and easy it can be when you put yourself in the hands of the right person. After a few email exchanges and some telephone conversations about our desires and our eccentricities, Kathy came up with recommendations that were exactly on target to meet our demanding requirements. She instinctively knew what we were looking for and what we were not. Her insights were remarkable in pinpointing the highlights of our trip and her efficiency and concern made it a delight to work with her. Kathy’s swift responses to the emails I sent her at all hours of the day or night (even when she was traveling and was on a different continent)leads me to believe that she never sleeps and works 24 hours a day.

Arlene and Lee Taylor on August 26, 2009 at 07:18 AM said: We are home less than one week from our Safari in Botswana. After experiencing Kenya and Tanzania in the past, Botswana was very different. It was about desert, deltas, game viewing and adventure. We camped for a good part of the journey which is something we have not done since our kids were young. We are proud grandparents of 8 and still looking for experiences to remember and pass on in our Memoirs. Africa Safari is best done as a tour. Independent travelers do not fair well and the best photographs are gotten with a guide and driver that knows their country. Kathy did a splendid job researching and providing a Safari that was within our budget. Botswana can be an expensive vacation and in a stiff economy, we were able to continue to have adventures. The service, care and consideration, particularly because we were connected to an Agent and a reputable Africa Travel Company makes all the difference. Kathy stayed connected all the way. Because of her professionalism, the Tour Company in Africa, went the extra mile to keep us happy and provide an excellent Safari. This came true especially when there was a glitch in the itinerary and the first half of our limited time was altered and needed to be fixed quickly and efficiently. We were literally carried through the rough spots on a silver cloud and gently placed on the right page of our Botswana Adventure Story. Thank you Kathy and Destinctive Destinations. We will connect again for our next Life Experience.

Jane and Robert Rose on June 11, 2009 at 11:47 AM said: Hi Kathy, Thank you and it was an amazing trip, more complex than our usual travel. There was a mix up which Bob picked up before we left regarding our flight itinerary and arrival in Cairo. Bob had called Y'Alla Tours and your office and fortunately that was addressed and our transfer from Cairo Airport to the hotel went smoothly Y'Alla Tours did a great job in Cairo. The Grand Hyatt was magnificent, an excellent choice although we didn't really take advantage of hotel's activities. Touring kept us very busy, but I think we both recognize that more time in Egypt is something to plan for in the future including a trip down the Nile. Asam, our Tour Guide did an exceptional job providing in-depth historical discussions on all the points of interest we toured. Maget, our Tour Coordinator we also enjoyed. He clearly wanted to ensure that all our needs and questions were addressed and coordinated everything including some evening activities and even our departure from Cairo through security, customs and passport control. I know you already have heard about the Hotel Lutetia in Paris. Since we weren't in the room very much, it didn't diminish our experience in Paris. It just was disappointing especially since we made the effort in advance of the trip to request a recently renovated room, and Bob had specifically emailed the hotel, at the time we were departing Israel to let them know that we would arrive late, again reminding them of our room request. The hotel was conveniently located near the metro, but not real close to the tennis venue. The only other point to be made was regarding the flight from Cairo to Tel Aviv. When we arrived at the Cairo Airport for our 2 leg flight (Cairo to Amman, Amman to Tel Aviv) we saw there was a direct flight out of Cairo leaving an hour earlier than our flight which would have gotten us into Tel Aviv much earlier leaving us with an extra half day. I want to thank you Kathy, you had an challenging assignment and more than surpassed our expectations. We would not hesitate to call you again as well as recommend you. Regards, Jane

celia Anderson on November 16, 2008 at 01:39 PM said: HI Kathy, Thanks again for arranging our wonderful trip to China this September. We felt we had the best of both worlds, personal local guides and drivers and all your wonderful experience as a tour guide. It was our most hassle free trip anywhere! Also, thanks for being so "there" as we were making our arangments! Celia Anderson Houston, TX.

Barbara Walters on November 15, 2008 at 08:40 PM said: Dear Kathy, Thanks for arranging our trip to Ireland. You were very patient with us, since we really didn't have a good idea when we started what we wanted the trip to look like. You worked hard to plan the itinerary that we eventually decided on. Everything went smoothly, and we had a great time. We'd be happy to work with you again sometime.

Fred Simonelli on November 15, 2008 at 12:07 PM said: Hi Kathy, The study tour you arranged for me and my grad students to Ghana went off without a hitch. The local tour guide and bus driver you selected were friendly, efficient, resourceful and knowledgable. The hotels you selected and the arrangements for specialized tours couldn't have been better. It was obvious that you paid close attention to details which resulted in a stress-free and enjoyable two weeks in Africa for us. I'll certainly be using your services for my next study trip.

Pratch & Brandon Stone on November 13, 2008 at 09:08 PM said: Dear Kathy, I want to thank-you for helping us plan our honeymoon to Aruba! Thanks for passing all your knowledge about the island to us and recommending things to do. The dine around program for Aruba was great since the food there is pretty expensive. We absolutely loved Bucuti Resort. It is indeed a honeymooners’ resort. The beach was right at our footsteps. The sand was pristine white and clear blue waters greeted us. Thanks for giving us your opinions and experience with the various hotels that you knew of. It helped us to pick the right one! We can’t wait to go back there again. Maybe you can help us plan our one-year anniversary! Warm regards, Pratch & Brandon Stone
