Again we would like to express our thanks for the PERFECT impeccable organization of this weekend.
As travel professionals it is our duty, towards our clients, to compare several offers of incoming agents. Your proposal was , by far, the most original, not only by the choice of the restaurants, but also by the alternative means of visiting the city. The guides were competent, the transfer services punctual. The hotel la Perla’s location was perfect for a stroll in the heart of the city.
Since our company is a member of the most important group of independant travel agencies in Belgium, Selectair, we will brief our colleagues of your excellent services and we hope in the future to work with you again.
