At first, I was a bit nervous about joining a group. We’ve traveled a lot in the past and always done it on our own. But taking into consideration how much work planning a trip is especially to a place we aren’t all that familiar with, we decided to join a group. Our only rule was it had to be small, no big bus, no large group. So when we found Sky Vacations and their small group we decided to go for it. From start to finish the trip was a delight. The hotels, meals, experiences and especially the guides were terrific. We literally had a better experience than when we plan a trip ourselves, because we didn’t have to do any of the work. Sky Vacations even helped us with booking our airfare, so it was really easy. Next we are thinking of their India trip.Show more

Wonderful isn’t enough of a word! We loved this trip. It was for me, my husband and my mom (who is 81) and it was a dream trip. It’s so nice to get on a tour and not have to worry about where to go, what to do and how to get from one place to another. Sky Vacations had everything in the program covered and we just had to sit back and enjoy. We even took the extra dinner cruise in Dubrovnik and we are so happy we did it. We loved the cities and towns so much, we are actually thinking of taking the same tour next year with our kids to celebrate their high school graduations! Five star across the board!Show more

All I can say is wow! My family and I were a bit hesitant about traveling to so many countries in one tour. We thought we might feel rushed, but we didn’t have to worry. The Sky Vacations trip was perfectly paced. My family is made up of adults, teens and seniors and none of us had an issue. The hotels were great, the included meals delicious and each local guide was knowledgeable, clearly spoken and polite. Also, the size of the group, in our case 16 people, was wonderful. Just enough people to make new friends and share the experience, but not so many that we felt like a herd of people getting on and off a big ugly bus! We had such a great time that we are going to book Jordan for next year.Show more
