Dear Rita,

WYD 2008 was truly perfect from the moment we arrived until the sad moment we left. Everything, including our contact person for Unitours, not only met my expectations but soared way past them. Our entire experience of putting ourselves in your capable hands was more than perfect. There is not one thing I would change. As we walked along the city streets of Sydney, the day after the Holy Father told us the next WYD would be in Madrid, we immediately spoke of you and agreed we would ask you to manage our group once again for WYD11.
This is the second time I have been on pilgrimage with Unitours and both times have been wonderful. I'm already looking forward to the third. I think it will be that much more important to get a jump on the upcoming WYD for availability as close to the sites as possible. Thank you again Rita....we couldn't have done it without you....

Dear Bob,
Everything went very smoothly. Our guides, in particular our tour manager Elena, were very good. The hotels were excellent and kudos on the locations in Assisi and Rome. I think the highlight for many people was the time we spent in Assisi: our evening strolls were as if we had the entire city to ourself. It was fantastic! .................. I also have to compliment Elena and Salvatori (our driver) for going out of their way in scheduling a last minute excursion to Pompei for a large number of our group who wanted to make a day trip there. She was able to rearrange our schedule to accommodate this. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Thanks to you and the rest of your company for your support and guidance. Everyone wants to know where we are going next...Fr Paul

Dear Bob,
My group had a great time. Your guide was superb.....Everyone was quite impressed with him..... and would love to have him on future trips. -Father PW

Dear Rita,
I also enjoy working with you folks at Unitours I made the mistake a few years ago and tried another company and it was a complete dissssssaster!!!!. They still owe me about $1600. I have never been disappointed with Unitours. Good service, great people on the ground in Europe and

Israel

. Unitours might cost a little more but you are the best in the business. Dan

Dear Bob,
I want to make sure you all know how much we enjoyed our trip to Italy...[your guides] were all wonderful [and] we all felt totally safe with Salvatori's driving. By the end of the tour we felt they were our good friends. We would and will highly recommend Unitours. Thank you!

Dear Rita,,
I would like to thank you once again for another stellar pilgrimage with Unitours. All 50 pilgrims seemed to truly enjoy themselves and the service they received. .......I have enjoyed working with you on the previous six pilgrimages I have led, and I look forward to more in the future.

-Father TB

Dear Bob,
[Unitours´ Tour Manager] was awesome! She was the best tour manager I could imagine. She was so knowledgeable, fun and energetic. She made the trip so special and so patient and accommodating of all of our requests. Words cannot do justice to what a great job she did.

The hotels were great........the headsets for the tours were indispensable. What an ingenious idea! They allowed us all to hear so well and really absorb what we were seeing. They also helped us stay together in some of the Churches - when you wanted to stay and look at a painting or statue a bit longer, you could always find the group. Thanks for getting us those.

Overall my experience was great. We formed great memories, felt we got our money worth and had a very positive experience. Spiritually - we had a wonderful journey, it was a great way to spend Lent.

I will certainly use Unitours in all my future pilgrimages.

Dear Rita and Lew,
     If I had to sum up the pilgrimage in just two words I would say, overwhelming amazing. From the first moment we arrived our tour guide was full of information to broaden our horizons in the biblical places and the historical content of the places…….He was warm and welcoming. His humor helped to make our trip very enjoyable.
     Our hotel accommodations were wonderful both in Tiberias and Jerusalem …….the staff [was] friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back to Israel in a heart beat.
      Lastly, as for the safety issue; I felt completely safe every where we went. Of the pilgrimages ….by far [this] was the most moving and transforming for me as a priest. Fr. M G
