I was very pleased with the trip “NEPAL and the Mystical Himalayas” that I took with Overseas Adventure Travel (Cambridge, MA; 800/955-1925), my 11th trip with OAT. In addition to the 15-day tour, itself ($3,895), I took the 8-day pre-trip to BHUTAN ($2,395) and the 8-day post-trip to TIBET, China ($2,595). I had single accommodations throughout, with no single supplement charged.
My husband, Harry, and I took a 3-part holiday in England in April-May ’13 that was so successful, we’d like to recommend it to ITN readers.

My wife, Rose, and I took the “Affordable Croatia & Slovenia” tour from Gate 1 Travel (Ft. Washington, PA; 800/682-3333). The land cost of our trip, April 5-14, 2013, was $1,049 each plus $140 for airport transfers.
We made our own flight arrangements, but those flying with Gate 1 flew into Venice and were bused to Opatija, Croatia, where the tour started the next day.

Before taking a cruise-tour in Europe, my wife, Gloria, and I wanted to see Switzerland. I searched the Internet for a Swiss travel consultant and found Magic Switzerland (Kansas City MO; 800/337-9477 or 816/753-5573). I recommend their services.
Magic Switzerland’s Pepe Stub was quick to respond to my e-mails and phone calls and make arrangements for my wife and me for five days and four nights.
My husband, Fred, and I cycled from Gersfeld to Hannoversch Münden, Germany, April 28-May 3, 2013, on the 4-day, 5-night “Fulda River Bicycle Path” tour offered by BikeToursDirect (Chattanooga, TN; 877/462-2423).
