“WAC Travel did us proud!”

The selection of hotels in Madrid and Barcelona were perfect for our family – centrally located and convenient to all our excursions! In Barcelona we did a vineyard trip north of town with lunch at a quaint villa and it was fabulous! The whole trip was perfect for the 5 adults and 2 young boys (10 and 13). Couldn’t be happier! Thanks, WAC!

ALENE HARDING · SPAIN · 2025

“Everything was seamless”

Transfers (pick-up and drop-off), domestic flights while in country, ferries, tours and tour guides, etc. were excellent all went very smoothly. Loved the app you use/provided that neatly keeps everything we needed at our fingertips. The family table cooking experience you suggested and planned for us was one of the highlights of Naxos. Katarina and her mother (along with our help) prepared and authentic Greek meal which we enjoyed with them in their summer home in the village. What a treat! We appreciate all of your hard work and professionalism. What a memorable trip for our family.

DOUG SEVEC · GREECE · 2025

“The trip was wonderful”

We were especially pleased with both hotels. The hotel in Florence was a perfect location and so beautiful. We loved recapping our day on the rooftop bar. Stunning views. Our guide in Florence was darling. We thoroughly enjoyed her, and her knowledge. We loved Pompeii and our tour guide was perfect for our group. Informative, fun and kept us on target. We tend to be a chatty group. Lol She even suggested super fun group pictures that turned put great. The remainder of the trip was seamless and no issues. I would highly recommend your agency.
