Family Fulton-Adams

Jennifer,Thank you so very much for the fabulous job you did planning our trip to Italy and Paris. We did indeed make memories to last a lifetime. And if we DO forget-we took over 400 photographs to remind us. Our hotels were all exceptional, and I appreciate your paying attention when I mentioned I have trouble sleeping in a queen sized bed with the voraciously snoring Mr. Adams. Gregg especially liked the resort in Tuscany while I enjoyed the incomparable Hotel Splendid Royal in Rome. All of our accommodations had amazing views and extraordinary staff. We truly felt pampered. We had the time of our lives and will not hesitate to request the services of you and your company for our next trip. We didn't really get enough of Paris and we would like to see the rest of France. And maybe Spain and Portugal. For now I think we had better work a while and fill up the coffers again so we are able to pay for another adventure. Thanks again for all you help. You are a real gem.

 


Soderberg-Wilken Party

Hi Jennifer! Our trip was fabulous. The first night at the Carolus gave us a really nice view of the town and hills, the sheets were soft and the room was nice. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. They were very helpful with suggestions and directions. The train to Venice was my favorite way to travel. The seats were comfortable, the train on-time and soft drinks and cookies for free! Coming out of the train station in Venice is an amazing experience. You are suddenly transported into another time, looking straight out over the Grand Canal. This hotel Ca’Nigra Lagoon Resort was in a fabulous spot. I liked that it was only 25 rooms. The staff was very courteous and the rooms were comfortable and nicely appointed. The best part was the rose gardens, especially the garden in the back overlooking the Grand Canal. The Locanda dell’Amorosa is a beautiful place to stay. The accommodations were lovely, the rooms were all appointed differently, the staff was lovely and were very welcoming when we got there. It was very nice that you called, we felt very important. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms large and comfortable and the views from any window spectacular. We had dinner our first night in the restaurant on the property and had a fantastic gourmet meal. We drove through Tuscany and Umbria in the days to follow. Sienna, Cortona, Montepulchiano, Casteliona Dell Lago etc. We got lost a few times because we refused to take the main highway but we got to see so much. When you get lost in Tuscany it is not a hardship!!! Driving through the hills and around the switchbacks was fun and as always the gorgeous scenery, olive groves, wineries, valleys, just beautiful. We even shopped for dinner one night from a deli in Montepulchiano, meats and cheeses and olives and wine and then went back to the hotel and had a picnic. The staff was very accommodating, rounding up knives and bread and napkins for us without extra charge although I think they thought we were kind of crazy Americans!! I would highly recommend the Amorosa. What an experience. Overall everything was lovely, I think we made some good choices, shopped till we dropped, ate fabulous food and had a lovely time. Thank you for all your help and guidance, you feel like a friend even though we have never met. I would certainly recommend VIP Escapes to others and especially you!

 


Vicky and Bill Beckel

My husband and I just returned from a two week Italy and Paris vacation arranged by Jennifer from your company. I just happened to find your website when we began planning our trip nine months ago, and Jennifer called me and worked out everything I wanted for the perfect trip. She answered every e-mail promptly and provided excellent service. We were especially nervous given the huge risk we took using an internet company we were entirely unfamiliar with. But every aspect of the trip went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. We look forward to another trip booked with Jennifer in the future.

 


Carlos Gomez

Our France experience was truly magical. I mostly enjoyed the non- restriction of the tours. We were able to experience the city on our own as well as the night life. Having a smaller group allowed us the opportunity learn about the new friends we made on the tour. The highlight of the trip was the welcoming feeling & friendliness of the French people and the adventures that we found during this trip. Mikael, our guide for this tour, really made the difference between a conventional tour and a VIP tour. We even experienced an improvised picnic on the river banks.

 


The beckel's

Hi Jennifer! We got home this morning and want to thank you for the absolutely perfect vacation. The hotels were all great and the transfers on time and very helpful, especially both Venice transfers. Your arrangements and recommendations were perfect, and we had the trip of a lifetime. Thank you for everything...I will definitely call you for my next vacation!! Thanks for all your hard work and professionalism. We appreciate it!!

 


Alina Cabral

My experience traveling with VIP Escapes has been extraordinary! From the moment we decided to take part in this trip, to the time of our arrival in France and through our departure home, Mikael was the perfect host. He ensure our needs were met, our accommodations were satisfactory and our trip was trully memorable. Thank You so much for such a wonderful experience!

 


The Ciancimino Family

Dear Jen- I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to say a heartfelt thank you for another wonderful trip. Your professionalism and friendship make for a winning combination. We truly appreciate everything that you have done. I look forward to our next joint-venture and would love to see you the next time that you are in NYC. Please keep in touch - keep me abreast of any great itineraries that may arise - anywhere - especially in France! (We still want to go back to Paris and the south of France!) Thanks again.

 


Brenda Holley

Jennifer, We had a great trip. Thank you for all your help. France is just wonderful and I have three new converts to the wonder of the country.

 


The Ciancimino Family

Dear Jennifer- I am writing to thank you for doing such a wonderful job on arranging our trip to Sicily. Your professionalism and attention to detail resulted in a seamless and smooth vacation with beautiful hotels and a superior itinerary. The guide/driver you provided for our family was wonderful - extremely knowledgeable and fun and truly enhanced our vacation experience. We visited many beautiful places, met many wonderful people and really experienced the country. It was an unforgettable trip. We cannot wait to plan our next adventure with you and VIP Escapes. Again, thank you for all of your hard work and for being such a nice person!

 


Teresa Peachey

It was WONDERFUL! From the moment we stepped out of the car into the lobby of the hotel we felt like royalty. The staff there waited on you hand and foot. The room was beautiful and the bed was so comfortable it was hard to leave it. The food at all of the restaurants was delicious. We had delicious filet and tuna dishes. The swim up bar is where we spent most of our time. It was extremely hot. The spa was one of the nicest spas I've ever been to. And everyone there was so nice and helpful. It was one of our best vacations ever. We wish we would've gone there instead of aruba for our honeymoon. So thank you for helping us. We had an amazing time

 


Evelyne Cole

Hi Jennifer, We had a wonderful trip and everything went perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Sicily - only two other couples besides ourselves and we all got along very well. Plus, we couldn't have had a better guide for that week. The rest of the time on our own we had great fun exploring Positano and Rome.
Again thanks for all your suggestions and recommendations. We'll keep you in mind when we go to plan our next vacation. Evelyn and Barry

 


Chris wells

We had a great time. It was better than either one of us could've expected. The Over the water Bungalow in Moorea was absolutely amazing. It sat right on top of a coral ledge that made it amazing to step off of our back deck, into the water, and be snorkeling in such amazing scenes. I was really impressed with the entire Moorea experience. The resort was amazing, the staff went out of their way for us, the Dolphin Experience was unbeleiveable, and everything was just great. We could've stayed right there and been perfectly happy. Bora Bora was not so great. The mosquito's were everywhere. Our bungalow had two twin beds that were pushed together. Why would they give honeymooner's two twin beds instead of a queen or king? The employee's weren't quite as helpful and the snorkeling (except for the "Shark and Ray feeding" tour) was terrible. I would recommend both places to anyone that ask's but I will strongly recommend they spend most, if not all, of their time on Moorea. Thank you for organizing such a great honeymoon. Again, it was better than either one of us could've imaigined and we know we will never be able to top it. I will send you a wedding picture as soon as we get them.

 


Doug and lea Witt

Hey Jennifer, thanks . It really was a fabulous time and we really are thankful for your help and expertise. I must say that Locanda del Amorosa was breathtaking. Especially when we flew over head in a hot air balloon and landed near by. :)

 


Dick Manning

We had a wonderful trip, you did a great job. The only problem we had was with Ryanair, they only allowed 15Kg for luggage and it cost us 77 pounds to send our luggage to Cork. We change our trip back to Dublin and kept the car rental and drove to Dublin. We enjoyed kissing the Blarney stone and going to different places. I had booked a tour for Dublin to Galway by train and then we flew to the Aran Island. Great trip. Booked a trip in London going to Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge. It was a nice trip but the tour guide was not very gracious. We absolutely love the Belcamp Hutchinson. You can send anyone there and get absolutely no complaints. The Burford lodge was very nice. The people were great and my wife loved Pliemheim Place. The grounds are magnificent. London Bridge Hotel was great. thanks again Jennifer for your expertise!

 


Virginia Mc Carthy

We are back but haven't recovered from jet lag yet. Our bags didn't make it from Brussels to London, so we had to make do with limited resources. (And it turned really cold in London.) However, our week with you was great! We found the accommodations and cuisine to be incredible. We truly appreciate the planning and logistical effort you put in to making this a very successful program/trip. We also are thankful for your arranging transfers in Florence and London. Thanks again Jen

 


Gail Petit

What a glorious trip. It is rainy and cold here and I am dreaming of Amalfi, even L'Amorosa. I so enjoyed myself and I thank you for making it all possible. Fond regards from a chilly Gail

Vivian Aiuto

Hi Jennifer, Our trip was great. Sicily is a beautiful country of rugged terrain and amazing panoramic vistas. Each town has something unique and historical and we got to sample a broad cross-section of local culture. We wish the trip could have been another week or two. The rental car was excellent, especially once we figured out how to use the navigation system. Roads in Sicily are often not well marked and the route numbers don't seem to coincide with the maps. It's quite easy to get lost so the GPS system was a blessing. Thanks again for your hard work Vivian Aiuto

 


Whitney Tull

Hi Jennifer, We have arrived home and had an absolutely wonderful time! Thank you for picking such perfect hotels. All was perfect! Thanks again, Whitney

 


Esther & Matthew Tan

Matthew and I want to commend you again for the fantastic trip experience we had with VIP Escapes in March 2008, during your Escape With The Stars event. Your attention to detail was amazing. It was a memory that we will treasure...especially with the opportunity to travel with Jason, Alan, and Kari. They loved being over the water and IN THE WATER. They snorkeled their hearts out! I have to say, that even though your committment to the tour was exceptional, it was your committment to your guests well-being and experience that was truly inspiring. Great job...and welcome back home! Esther

 


Escape With The Stars 2008 customer

It was a great tour! I loved the accomodations and awesome activities. I feel that the banquet, picnic, etc.,were planned out well. Your staff was friendly and the hotel staff was fabulous! Many of the people in our group were so open and friendly! I loved meeting such an eclectic group of people. I loved everything about the resort! It would be hard to pick favorite moments, but everything with Kathy Griffin was awesome, the picnic, banquet, hanging out in the pool...it was all incredible. Truly paradise!

 


Escape with the Stars 2008 customer

WOW!!!!Kathy Griffin was very human and mingled with us. I loved the private picnic and also the sting ray tour. It was nice to be a part of a group and meet new people but also have the opportunity to explore on our own whenever we wanted to. Great job VIP Escapes. Can't wait to see what you have in store for 2009.

 


Escape With The Stars 2008 customer

It was amazing, an experience of a lifetime. I loved all of the activities, the people were so friendly. Meeting Kathy Griffin and her team was amazing. The jet ski tour, the shark and ray feeding, the picnic were all so great. Each day seemed to get better and better. Thank you so much for this awesome trip.
