"Before the holiday began, we said if the reality turned out to be half as nice as the itinerary suggested, we were going to be very pleased indeed about our holiday. In the event, if anything, it was better. It was clear from the way our various hosts talked about Parkers that you have a very high reputation within "the trade" - one which matches our impression of an utterly professional & friendly organisation with very fine listening skills"
