Hi Swain Team! Now that we’re back home, we would like to thank you all for planning and coordinating what was an incredible trip for us! Amazingly, this all started over five years ago when we started planning the trip with Jason which ended up being extensively delayed by the pandemic.

As we had hoped, this was a truly amazing and special trip for us and our daughter. The logistics (of which there were many) were seamless and well executed, the accommodations were fabulous (One & Only, Palm River, Dulini and Jabulani were each wonderful), and excursions were wonderful and meaningful experiences.

While we thought this might be a “one and done” trip (aka “bucket list”), the three of us were just talking about how we’d love to go back to Africa someday again. To the extent we do, we wouldn’t hesitate coordinating the trip with you and Swain (and we will be happy to refer our friends to Swain when we have the chance).

Thank you all again so much for your involvement and assistance in planning and effecting a truly lifetime experience!

Dear Maureen,
We just got home from our lovely trip on the Danube, and we had a marvelous time! Thank you so much for all your help with the planning and scheduling.
In particular, we want to thank you for finding Hotel Torbräu. What a gem! The location was perfect, the room was beautiful, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. And the breakfast was spectacular! There was a huge selection of delicious food, all served in a charming dining room with an outdoor deck. It was amazing!

The daytime bus tours were both wonderful—very informative, with comfortable buses, knowledgeable guides, and beautiful sights. Our favorite was the castle tour. Spectacular!
The Hilton at the Munich Airport was also an excellent choice. The accommodations were gorgeous, and it was so comforting to be right at the airport and ready to catch our flight home the following morning. There was also plenty to do and see around Airport Square on our final evening in Munich—a perfect way to end the trip.
Thanks again for everything! We had a wonderful time and truly appreciate all you did to make the trip so enjoyable.
Warmly,
Kathy & Vicki

Hello Heather,

The family is home from Italy and we had a wonderful trip! Thank you for all your efforts and suggestions. The hotel in Rapallo was fabulous and having that car waiting at the airport when we arrived really got us off on the right track. Chianni was also delightful and not so touristy, which was great!

We successfully made all our reservations, trains rental car and all our tours! Driving was quite the challenge but we successfully managed that as well.

Thanks,
Jack & Ali
