Testimonials

 

I have worked with Millennium Tours for six major tour events over the past few years involving more than two hundred university students.  They have helped me organize and conduct three separate Study Abroad Programs to Europe and three programs to Mexico.  In my opinion, they are the most professional tour company in the travel industry.  The management and staff are friendly, efficient, prompt and thorough.  They work hard to secure the best rates while providing excellent accommodations and services.  The word integrity defines the company and I recommend them highly and without reservations.

Over the past several years, Mohib and Millennium Tours have organized over ten MBA and EMBA international study tours. In every case, the arrangements were flawless and student needs were perfectly accommodated.

Mohib (Millennium Tours) has a special skill for knowing what accommodations and facilities will best meet the needs of an MBA international trip. There’s always a little “extra” arrangement that adds value to the experience.

When Millennium Tours handles the arrangements for your international MBA trip, you can focus on the business agenda with extreme confidence that the logistics and local arrangements will mesh perfectly.

I want to thank you for the very excellent itinerary you planned for our group tour of Japan, China and Hong Kong.  The entire trip was most satisfactory.  In fact it was better than satisfactory, it was outstanding.

The hotels, food, guides and other services could not have been better.  The hotels were superior and the dinners in Hong Kong were the best of the trip. Our group enjoyed the trip and felt we got to see the major sites (the cruise in China was especially good). You could not have arranged a better use of time.

I firmly believe the three week itinerary is the way to go and  I  thank you for this very excellent piece of work.

After a dozen tours, I am still impressed with the detail you put into our tours. Our people were delighted again, not just with the hotels and food, but the completeness of the sightseeing and the quality of the guides and driver. As one of our members said, "You can always tell when Mohib does it, it's right." Thanks again for a great, great tour.

The dust has settled, the jet lag is over, the pictures developed, the pocket book recovered – the memories remain.  In fact the memories will remain for a life time. When one thinks of the cruise on the Rhine, Cologne, Salzburg, Vienna, Villach, Venice, Florence, Rome or a hundred other beautiful stops, they are surpassed only by moments when our Choir sang at Wieskirche, Assisi and St. Peter’s.

Barbara Pukwana, our tour director was tremendous. Within three days we had accepted her as an honorary Texan. She made the historical events of the region come alive with meaning and purpose.

Thank you, Mohib, for your choice of hotels, guides, restaurants, etc.  We packed two months of sightseeing into two weeks, but wouldn’t change a thing. It was a pleasure working with you and Millennium Tours. You accepted every idea and molded it into a pleasurable trip. To put it into colloquial language  “we got our money’s worth”.  Thanks very much.

I want to sincerely thank you for the arrangements for our tour to Greece for the Thesis Voutchas family and friends of 38 people in October 1985.  Everything was excellent, especially our Tour Manager, Sakir Psiakis – she was very helpful.  Our accommodations in all the hotels were very good, especially the Divani Zafolia.

Mohib everything was outstanding and a special “Thank You” to you and your staff.  Millennium Tours made it all possible again, and I know you put much effort into these arrangements.

We are writing to give you our opinion of the group tour you organized for Houston Baptist University to “Medieval Venues in England and France”. This was without a doubt the best tour my wife and I have even been on. We have lived overseas a lot and have traveled extensively so we have a basis of comparison. From the time we were met at the airport in London until we were put on the plane in Paris, everything was very well organized and first class.

In particular, we want to praise the job done by our Tour Manager, Jeannette Berends. She also deserves the credit for the success of this trip. She was well organized and prepared for each day and she took care of all the hassles of baggage transfers and admission fees without a mishap.

I do not know who was responsible at Millennium Tours for selecting the hotels and restaurants, but they should be highly commended.  All the hotels were excellent and the food was delicious.  Everyone we talked to in this group had a wonderful time.

I wanted to write and let you know what a superb trip we had, thanks to you and Millennium Tours.  Everything seemed to go very smoothly, although I know someone was working diligently behind the scenes to make it that way!  We all had a great tour.  The hotels and the meals were excellent.  British Airways flights were super, and the ground transportation was very dependable and comfortable, and the coach driver, Christopher Fox, was a very skillful, trustworthy driver who quickly became a good friend to all of us.  Our Tour Manager, Anthony Knowles, always does a magnificent job and is completely devoted to his craft. He clearly loves his job of bringing the history and literature of Great Britain to life for his tour members.  Jeremy from your London office was always helpful and made sure that everything was as it should be.

Thank you, Mohib, and your staff at Millennium Tours for being so kind, caring and helpful to me and my group.  It is always a pleasure working with you.

The group and I returned in good form and spirits due in no small part to the efforts of your office team. You and your staff, stateside as well as abroad, are to be congratulated for the flawless effort provided for our group tour to Greece.  I have been taking study abroad groups for a number of years now with Millennium Tours, and I can relate that your team always make my job the easiest ever.

Thank you again for your fine efforts and you can be sure I will be pleased to recommend Millennium Tours highly without reservation to anyone concerned.

On behalf of co-directors Dr. Pitts and Dr. Maness, I am writing to both thank you for your hard work and congratulate Millennium Tours for the role in making the Great Britain 1992 Program a most successful study travel program.  My records show that 164 participants left Texas on July 9th.  Add to that number those who booked with you and joined our program in “progress”, and the potential for travel problems caused by the sheer number of participants becomes obvious.

Nevertheless to my knowledge (and continuing amazement), you solved every single problem presented to you. You handled these large numbers flawlessly. You treated each person as an individual rather than as a member of a large group. Not only that, but you anticipated and helped solve problems the three of us had not anticipated.  Eleven faculty and their families spoke highly of both your kindness and your attention to detail.

The Great Britain Program is a large program that will continue to take one hundred sixty plus Americans abroad each year.  Accomplishing this difficult job will continue to be expedited by the expertise of Millennium Tours.  We look forward to continuing this mutually beneficial relationship in years to come.

Let me conclude by saying that Millennium Tours has always excelled at every point of comparison – namely, cost, airline, accommodations, ground arrangements, and personal service.  And again, my personal thanks to you and your staff for all the efforts on behalf of Great Britain 1992 program.

You and Millennium Tours are a credit to your profession.  Indeed more than that. I have been involved in directing foreign programs for the past 15 years and during that period I have dealt with all sorts of travel agents. However, I must tell you that none have performed with your skill, concern and concentration. I am totally pleased with every aspect of your work. I have discussed your role with each of the key personnel, and all are in accord.

You are first-class professional and it is satisfying totally to work with you. We hope it is possible to continue our relationship in the future.  Please accept our deepest appreciation for all your contributions to our foreign programs.

Thank you so much for the lovely tour of Switzerland you put together for our group. I must say it was the nicest of all the trips we have ever made. The choice of hotels and transportation was excellent. Every connections was made smoothly and without problems. Each of our tour members commented over and over what a wonderful time they had and wished to travel together again.

We look forward to booking our Bible Lands trip with you for next  June and plan on taking a large group.

I want to personally thank you and your staff at Millennium Tours for the fine and reliable service you provided in regard to our recent three week study travel trip to Italy and Switzerland. The travel arrangements you made for us in Europe were most suitable and dependable. You provided excellent service in planning the trip and in working with our students and me.  I  highly recommend your company to any faculty who are planning study abroad trips.

I wish to take this time to say a hearty thank you for the pleasant memories we are enjoying from our latest tour to the Holy Lands.  This tour was so well organized and by nature very high in quality that it would be difficult to think of anything to improve on.  We had very good quality hotels, good meals, excellent guides, and the proper connections were always made when we got there.

I believe every person in our group has thoroughly enjoyed everything and would gladly recommend you and Millennium Tours to anyone. Most people expressed that they cannot see how a tour price can be kept so low considering all that we are getting.  Again thank you, and we hope to work with you in the future. May God bless you.

During my 25 years at my University, Millennium Tours has arranged students’  tours for groups ranging from 250 down to a low of  11 for twenty three years. Destinations have included Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and especially Great Britain (my personal favorite). I have been impressed with the thoroughness of Millennium Tours preparations and arrangements.

I am tentatively planning a student trip to England for Spring Break 2004, and I do so to ask Millennium Tours to organize travel for me; they cover ALL the otherwise troublesome details such as underground tickets, surface travel, guides, hotels, etc. I have been much more than satisfied.  I am delighted to recommend Millennium Tours.

Thank you and your staff at Millennium Tours for providing me and my students at Brookhaven College for three summers in a row such well-planned and smooth running study tours of Great Britain and Ireland. I have been directing student tours for almost twenty years, and I must say that Millennium Tours, under your expert direction, has met all of my expectations.

The tour director, coach driver, and hotels were more than adequate, and I had compliments from many of the tour members concerning each aspect of the tour.

Again, thank you for all of your efforts, and I will be recommending Millennium Tours to other faculty who plans trips abroad. I look forward to traveling with you again in the future.

I just wanted to let you know that the trip was an incredible success. All logistics were taken care of and everything ran very smoothly. Everyone in the group had a great time and learned a lot in the process. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you invested in the trip.  We saw its return in all aspects of the trip. You have done a fantastic job, and for this we are extremely grateful. We look forward to working with you and Millennium Tours in the future. Thanks again.

The tour to England which Millennium Tours helped organize for the Costume Society of America was successfully completed. The group seemed to very much appreciate its many enriching activities.

When sending us the final documents, you provided me with a very nice carrying case (green fabric with zipper and handle) with your company logo. It turned out to be the most efficient item for this purpose I have ever used for traveling over many years. I am wondering if it would be possible to obtain two extras – for my husband and son. I would be very happy to pay the cost.

They treat the people like their own family. Our passengers have always felt at ease when we use Millennium Tours because they know that they will go out of their way to make them feel secure and safe.

As the tour leader for Super “G” Tours, I feel confident that Millennium Tours will do their very best to get us the best accommodations and the most interesting tours than can be available.  The staff at Millennium Tours have been very helpful to our passengers whenever they have any question or any concern about our trips. Super “G” Tours travels every year to Europe and have always used Millennium Tours because we feel very confident in their services.

This letter is long overdue since this is my fifth trip arranged and organized by Millennium Tours.  Four of them have been with Houston Baptist University, and one of them was a personal trip to Germany. All of my trips have been very well done by Millennium Tours. However, this last trip to England and France was far and away the best trip to date.

The tour was very well organized from start to finish, and I cannot think of anything I would have changed about it expect to have extended the length of the trip. The tours are always over too quickly for me, for I have learned that I have a passion for travel and learning. The weather was wonderful, the scenery was spectacular, and the group was delightful.

I look forward to using the services of Millennium Tours in the future.  Your interest in our welfare has always been appreciated.  I am already looking forward to next year’s trip.
