I had the good fortune of meeting Joel Cabrera here in New York during PRIDE 2004 and I said that if I ever went to Brazil, which I have been dying (my hair) to do for years, that I would give him a call.  Fate stepped in and I had the best vacation ever.

      Dear Zoom Vacations,  

We can never thank you enough for the most incredible week and enchanted evening. It would not have been anything like that if we had done it on our own. Your thoughtful attention to detail and love will be cherished forever. We wish you many, many toasts! You deserve them!

Much love, Ron & Jim, Boulder and Palm Springs

I just wanted to say thanks for planning our trip to Quebec City for the Travel Channel. It rocked, we had such a blast, and the castle was AMAZING! The people are so cool too!

Thanks again!

Nick and I do not know how to thank you enough for making Nick's 40th absolutely perfect. We thank you for your hard work, your dedication and most of all your patience. The extremely positive feedback is coming our way and we just got back last night. Something must have gone right when a week later neither of us can talk about it without crying. Your attention to detail in the preplanning stages made the experience on-site an enjoyable one. Your ability to listen to us, yet speak up when necessary was crucial. Overall the entire weekend exceeded our expectations. And you know us well enough to know we have very high expectations.

  We wanted to go to Brazil for New Years, and chance smiled.  We really liked the mix of freedom, side trips “à la carte”, and quality of the product. And of course the fun is a winning factor.  It’s really nice to be part of a group where communication is easy and natural, and meeting people from all over the world is fascinating.

Before the trip even began, I was truly amazed by the thoroughness of the itinerary. When we arrived in Spain, I was constantly blown away by the attention to every detail. I have never traveled like this before, and now I'm hooked. It was certainly one of the best trips I have ever taken.

Dear Zoom Vacations,

Besides the amazing array of activities on my trip, the best thing about my vacation was the friendships I made. I also gained two new clients for Mark Ramsay Company. Thank you for everything! I can't wait for my next Zoom vacation!

When I asked Bryan and Joel to help plan my 40th birthday celebration almost a year ago, little did I know that my most spectacular imaginings of the event could not even come close to the extraordinary week that I and twenty of my friends experienced in Costa Rica.  Not only were the accommodations and events carefully selected to appeal to the group's tastes and desires, the details were so thoughtful and personal, that my guests and I felt warmed and embraced throughout the entire trip. It was a once in a lifetime event, with memories that I will forever cherish.  Without sounding cliche, the trip was magical thanks to the efforts of Bryan and Joel.  Thanks, guys, for creating that magic.

Just a quick note to let you know how much fun we had in Brazil. THANK YOU for doing such a fantastic job for us. Your planning and the choices you made were perfect, but it was the personal touches, your warmth, and the ease with which you handled each day that really made a lasting impression with us. There had to be a lot of behind-the-scenes stress that you never showed, and that is truly amazing considering the detail involved, and the high expectations of your clientele.

Just wanted to say thanks for putting together such a fantastic itinerary and trip to Rio. It was truly one of the best vacations I have had in several years....the weather, the activities, and the people too...a really nice group of people came together for the trip. You guys really out did (is that a word?) yourselves on the activities. I'll definitely be giving you a glowing review to anyone who asks about my experience with your travel company.

Greg, New York City
 

At least I still have my Brazilian tan to show for the phenomenal time that you guys provided for all of us. I can't thank you guys enough for all of the amazing care and special touches you thought of to bring 2003 to a great end and to make the new year start off in the best possible way!

I Had a great time in Cuba. I'm still sifting through the photo's and dreaming about being back in Havana. I hope you get a chance to visit the island before it gets put out of reach.
Thanks for a great vacation!

Dear Zoom, I originally booked with you because you have a nice web site and it is easy to maneuver through. The staff is so personable and does follow-up with clients. The tour offerings are abundant and flexible, and prices are reasonable. "You get your monies worth" as people say here.
During the Trip, Zoom staff was accessible, friendly, and personable and participated in all aspects of the tour. I have been with other tour operators and in some cases you rarely see some of the staff.
Thank you for everything you did to make this special.

I just wanted to give you an official thank you for your work on my vacation in Barcelona, Spain and my tour of Rome. We had SO much fun! The hotel in Barcelona was everything I anticipated and expected. The location was perfect for me and they made us feel very at home.
Being in Rome for just one day, the use of your tour guide was the best thing I could have ever done. Not only did we cover all the ground/sights I wanted, but we had a car as well. And, since our guide was bilingual, it made ordering lunch a lot easier! I gotta tell ya, she was AWESOME! Actually, everything was. Thank you so much for making this a really special vacation for us.

Thanks for everything on this trip - we all agreed that Zoom did a great job. You´re sure to get a great word of mouth.

Our recent trip to Australia had it all. From hiking up on the city's signature bridge for a view of the magnificent summer sunset, to dining alfresco while looking out to a view of the Opera House, to cocktails at the city's hottest bar set high on a cliff overlooking the rugged ocean and surrounded by the likes of Naomi Watts, this trip really blew me away.
This was just day one of my trip to Sydney. The Zoom experience is unparalleled. My job is demanding and keeps me so busy, that I really value convenience - but at a high standard. Most companies can't deliver as they try to appeal to the lowest common denominator. But I've finally found one that can not only meet my expectations but exceed it in every possible way. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Dear Zoom Vacations,

We want to thank you for a much needed and wonderful vacation in Rio. We had an amazing time! You sure do know how to put together an incredible adventure we will remember for the rest of our lives. The itinerary of events, the friendships and the amazing men made for an experience we would recommend to everyone. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Dear Zoom Vacations,

Thanks for organizing a great time in Rio. We both had a fun and relaxing time. We’re not the best tourists as we often like to do our own thing, at our own pace. But your organization allowed us to do just that, so thank you for making our Rio Adventure another great experience.

To say that the March 2005 trip to Peru was a life changing experience is not an exaggeration! From the first day everything was better than anticipated. After 26 years of traveling as a couple with my partner, this was the first trip I have taken alone.

I immediately felt a part of the group and I know that the tour director [Bryan] had a lot to do with the way we all came together as a group with no one feeling isolated. The entire itinerary was a wonderful display of a beautiful country. The balance of activities and free time was perfect. I especially like the morning schedule. We actually had time to relax and enjoy our surroundings.

I delayed writing this so it wouldn’t be knee-jerk enthusiasm. After several weeks I still feel every part of this trip was worth every dime. And it truly did change me. I came home with a new confidence and comfort in being a single man. I will love my late partner forever, but only now do I feel I can enjoy all the things we used to enjoy together and really move on in life.

Again, Bryan, thank you and the Zoom Vacations staff for putting together such a wonderful experience. I’m looking forward to another Zoom Vacation!

Dear Zoom Vacations,

Got home last night - and wanted to tell you that you put on an amazing show. The week in Prague was spectacular; congratulations and thank you so much for everything.

Dear Zoom Vacations,

I wanted to thank you once again from the bottom of my heart… that was the most fabulous trip. Everyone was just so happy with you guys! Again, thank you so much.

Dear Zoom Vacations

When I booked the trip through Zoom, I was a bit concerned, as it was very different than the typical go to your travel agent and get shiny brochures and leave with a printout and tickets.  But everything worked so great, and your communication was excellent that I soon forgot my concerns. The trip was awesome to say the least!

Dear Joel and Bryan,
I wanted to thank you guys for another wonderful Zoom trip.  I want to tell you why I love traveling so much with Zoom.  The first reason is because you offer a unique experience when it comes to group travel in that there is no pressure or guilt to do what the group is doing.  I think that this allows each individual to customize their trip as they are experiencing it and to make it personal to them.  Not having the pressure to be with the group every second makes it really enjoyable when you are with people from the group.  Once again on this trip, I have met a number of awesome people that I hope to stay in touch with and would not hesitate to look up should I ever be passing through their cities.

I also love traveling with Zoom because you get to experience a little bit more than if you were to travel on your own.  It is like the old saying, "you get what you pay for."  And by that I mean, I think that it is possible to travel to the places that Zoom goes for less money but I think that the experiences would be less unique and less memorable as well.  As a prime example, I know a number of people that have been to Rio but I know very few that took a helicopter around the bay and the Jesus, that had a private party on Sugar loaf, or had a private beach party where you could hang glide and para-sail onto the beach with everyone cheering for you or anyone that went to an out of the way restaurant on top of a mountain range and had dinner as the sun was setting over the city and into the bay.  Those experiences are worth a premium!  And seriously, the VIP tickets to the Allegria party were worth every penny just for the drink line and the access to the fans, not including the hot guy feeding me grapes at 4 in the morning!  I mean if someone wants to sit on the beach and stare at hot people sure Rio can be done for less but if you want to go and experience the vibrancy of the city and really live in Rio for the time that you are there, the trip with you guys and Zoom is the way to do it.

Lastly, I like traveling with you guys because I like paying a single price and having you guys work out the details.  I know myself well enough that if I had to figure everything out on my own, I would save the $25 here and there by staying at a hotel 4 blocks off the beach but then I would miss the parade that takes place between 4:30 and 5:30 every night by staying at the beach.  And not having that experience would also take away from the splendor of the trip.  And it is the same no matter where I have been with you guys and Zoom.  For example, When I was in Peru with Zoom, I would never have stayed at the Monestario because I would have thought it was too expensive regardless of what it cost just because it is the "Best Hotel in South America."  Now though, having had that experience and remembering the grounds, the artwork, the food and the incredible atmosphere I am so glad that I stayed there because I may never get back to Peru but I will always have the memory of how magnificent it was to stay in such a unique and perfect place.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys thanks again and that I think you are doing a great job.  I believe what you do is hard because of how easy you make it for your travelers.  Hope to see you on another trip soon. 

David, Washington, DC
