Cannot begin to thank Guido and the rest of the staff at Bethesda Travel for the Italy vacation of a lifetime. Down to our airline seating preference, no detail of the trip was overlooked. We simply gave Guido an idea of what we wanted to see & do and he did the rest. Only an experienced agent of the highest caliber could have handled our late in the planning process schedule changes.

A few weeks before departure a package arrived with everything from travel bags to luggage tags, detailed itinerary, maps, vouchers, and suggested restaurants at each city along the way. Guido then set up a meeting to go over every page to address any questions or concerns we may have had.

Once in Italy, Guido called the Venetian restaurant where we were dining to make sure everything was going well. In Rome, the hotel clerk had a message for us from Guido, whom she had worked with for years. In Italy, everyone knows Guido.

Simply put; Bethesda Travel should be the first stop for anyone...

We used Bethesda Travel to plan our recent trip to Ireland. We provided them the outline of a plan that three of us developed. Our trip then grew to 8. Starting with our outline, Guido and Serena developed it into an incredibly memorable trip. They convinced us that we would do much better having a driver and a large van. The driver they provided, Mick O'Malley knew the history and roads, and could answer just about any question we asked about Ireland. As we drove through this beautiful country, he added a continual stream of interesting information about the countryside, town, or local history. Guido added a variety of interesting places we would never have known to visit to our itinerary while building a travel schedule that could have easily worn us out. He also knew where to stay, and booked us a wonderful set of lodgings that exceeded all expectations. We highly recommend Bethesda Travel, and if you can get him, Mick O'Malley from Butler Tours in Ireland. They...

Another great family vacation planned by Guido and his staff--two weeks in Spain! (We did a similar Italy trip planned by them several years ago.) Hotels, transportation, tours, and tour guides--all planned to perfection and excellent. The hotels were in perfect locations, all the tours were private with priority entry into the busy attractions (no waiting in lines!), and most of the tour guides had 10-20+ years of guide experience with education in history and/or architecture matching the tour. Also, having them provide train and airline reservations and drivers eliminated all stress getting from one place to another on time and kept us from driving and getting lost in crazy city traffic. If you want a no-worry, low stress vacation while seeing many attractions in an European country, Bethesda Travel Center is the place to go. Worth every penny and highly...
