We know that you will have an incredible, magical vacation with Zoom, but don't take our word for it...
     

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.

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!

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!

Zoom Vacations did a wonderful job with exceeding every expectation I had for my trip. You simplified what otherwise would have taken me weeks to plan and all of this at an affordable price too. After this experience I just can't imagine any other way to travel. I'll definitely be using your services again in the near future.

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.

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 website 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!

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.

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
   

It has been two months since our trip to Thailand and My husband and I are still talking about our trip. We truly felt like royalty throughout our trip. You really outdid yourselves, and we are ready for our next Zoom Vacation!

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!

ear 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 Getson, Washington, DC
