HI Kathy, Thanks again for arranging our wonderful trip to China this September. We felt we had the best of both worlds, personal local guides and drivers and all your wonderful experience as a tour guide. It was our most hassle free trip anywhere! Also, thanks for being so "there" as we were making our arangments! Celia Anderson Houston, TX.

Dear Kathy,
Thanks for arranging our trip to Ireland. You were very patient with us, since we really didn't have a good idea when we started what we wanted the trip to look like. You worked hard to plan the itinerary that we eventually decided on. Everything went smoothly, and we had a great time. We'd be happy to work with you again sometime.

Hi Kathy,
The study tour you arranged for me and my grad students to Ghana went off without a hitch. The local tour guide and bus driver you selected were friendly, efficient, resourceful and knowledgable. The hotels you selected and the arrangements for specialized tours couldn't have been better. It was obvious that you paid close attention to details which resulted in a stress-free and enjoyable two weeks in Africa for us. I'll certainly be using your services for my next study trip.

Dear Kathy,
I want to thank-you for helping us plan our honeymoon to Aruba! Thanks for passing all your knowledge about the island to us and recommending things to do. The dine around program for Aruba was great since the food there is pretty expensive. We absolutely loved Bucuti Resort. It is indeed a honeymooners’ resort. The beach was right at our footsteps. The sand was pristine white and clear blue waters greeted us. Thanks for giving us your opinions and experience with the various hotels that you knew of. It helped us to pick the right one! We can’t wait to go back there again. Maybe you can help us plan our one-year anniversary!
Warm regards, Pratch & Brandon Stone

Hello Kathy,

My mom and I were members of your March 2006 tour of China. This was our first mother daughter tour vacation and it was FANTASTIC! We had a wonderful time seeing the many treasures China has to offer while avoiding the often stressful hurdles of traveling individually. We enjoyed every city we visited and all of the attractions. The hotels and food were perfect! Our favorite portion of the trip was the cruise down the Yangtze River. It was a superb combination of relaxing scenery watching, informational sessions and adventurous excursions rolled up into the perfect number of days. As the youngest member of the tour, a whooping 27 years old ;), I was delighted at the pace of the tour- there was something for everyone. Each guide was professional, knowledgeable and energetic about their country. We can’t wait to embark on another Distinctive Destinations Tour!

“My husband and I have traveled extensively for the last 20 years, and knowing personally the relationship of Distinctive Destinations with Africa, I would not have considered going to this continent with anyone else. We spent 17 days with them in Kenya and Tanzania and we were not disappointed. Each day was carefully chosen and planned to maximize this truly ethnic experience. It was full of information and experiences of cultural, historical, political and personal significance. This type of trip can only be planned by someone who knows a country and a people very well. Small personal details were attended to as well as the larger overall planning. This was personalized service along with a great deal of knowledge, information and experience. This is a trip we will never forget. ” Don and Eileen Wesson

“Kathy-Thanks for another great travel year in 2004., From Arizona to the Copper Canyon in Mexico to Sweden and Denmark-you were so helpful to try different schedules and search for the best price and itinerary to meet my needs. I have been around the world using your services since 1990 and you are always there to help--whether someone loses a ticket or wants just one more change in the schedule. I've even been able to get help from one of your travel colleagues who backed you up when you were off traveling to check out new destinations for us to go.” S. Westaby

“Over the years my wife and I have visited over sixty international destinations. We have used the services of several tour companies, and quite a few travel agents in our travels. I can recommend some of these and some I would not recommend at all, both companies and agents. I consider our experience as qualifying us to pass judgments on tour companies and travel agents. We rate Kathy at Distinctive Destinations as the best.” L. Mooney

Dear Kathy:

What a fabulous trip to China! We saw your article in the Sacramento Bee and, with a bit of trepidation, responded to your advertisement. Despite the fact that we do not choose tours as our primary mode of travel, we decided that it was prudent to investigate your services when considering our first trip to China. We were so pleased with your knowledge and experience that we even persuaded 2 other couples to join us. From the outset the experience was a pleasure. The articulate guides, excellent hotels, good food and choices of destinations reflected your superior organizational skills. It went so smoothly and effortlessly that we were able to devote all of our time and energy experiencing the magnificence of this great country’s cultures and ethnic groups. Being able to fly between major destinations was a wonderful advantage since we were able to spend valuable time actually visiting a variety of significant locations and still have time to walk the ways and byways where we stayed.

I have recently learned that our enthusiasm about this trip has encouraged another 2 couples we know to join your next China tour. Congratulations, Kathy. This China tour has gained us new friends and a lifetime of memories. What a wonderful experience.
