Hi Mr Ernest,

Your programs are excellent! Also, everything you said is true re your service! Ive been doing it for about 12 + yrs now & you have been consistent! Ive done almost all of them! Some were even created specially for LBE groups. The most recent Greece/Macedonia & Switzerland were fabulous, well-loved & enjoyable! Cyn & I are currently reviewing some programs i recently asked from Mr Gadek. Im still trying to market Jubilee. Also deciding to choose what to repeat & offer. For sue we will offer Poland again.
 
Would it be too much if i go back there in Oct? ???? Im still hoping to bring my cousin priest & a couple more friends who help me market.  If too much, i wont mind taking a break. I love Poland! I could go back again & again even if its just Krakow.
 
Ive asked them for picture. Sorry for the delay. I went to Manila & Danang, Vietnam for a week. Every time i come back from a trip my system is messed up. Jet lag gets worse as you age ????‍????
 
Thanks a lot for accommodating Cyn & her husband! They all enjoyed it!

Dear Ernest,

Thank you for arranging this fam tour. It is great fam tour. I learn a lot from this trip.

If you would like to promote your area to Thailand and ASEAN, I can assist you.

Hello Ernest,

Thank you for the invoice. Yes, I will highly recommend you to another agents that I come across who want your services in Poland.

I will definitely plan trips to Poland and the surrounding neighbors.

All the best,
Becky


Hello Ernest,

The Fam Trip was great and very valuable to us. I will start contacting the participants soon. I am now Just catching up after our trip to London.

I want to sell Poland to a group that takes a yearly trip with 40 to 45 people. I will contact you if they approve.

Best regards,
Habib


Good morning Ernest,

I hope all is well with you.

Thank you for a wonderful trip last weekend, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The salt mine was truly amazing.

Kind regards

Hi Ernesto,

I would like to thank you about fam trip. It was very interesting.

I've found Poland it's a nice country with a big heritage.

Thank you so much, hoping you are not so tired and we will work together in the future.

Bests regards.

Hello Ernest,

Sorry for my late reply, I was still abroad.

I wanted to thank you for the quality of the stay.

The accommodation, the food, the transport, and especially the visits, everything was perfect and perfectly synchronized.

I would not fail to recommend you if the opportunity arises.

 

Once again, a very big thank you.

Hello Ernest,

The trip was very good.

Hotel was excellent. The visits either!

We were all very happy.

Many, many thanks for your investment.

For sure, we will come back.

And I hold your coordinates.

I wish you still a lot of success.

 

Kind regards,

Hi, initial morning extremely stressful!  Guide not there waiting for us and coach not identified with sign.  I contacted Mariusz who told me coach was last one n line so I walked down there and none of them were our coach so the group waited.  He arrived about 10 or 15 minutes after 9 and coach was the first one in line.  So the group could have been bringing over their luggage at 8:45 am. It was a very tight fit on the coach with luggage and one lady’s walker was damaged.  Mariusz found a bike shop that was able to be repaired enough for it to roll.    Loading the luggage that late took off probably 45 minutes of touring time.  Phase 2:  the rest of the day was brilliant!!!  Driver, Sergei excellent.  Mariusz excellent!!!  Tour day excellent!!  Hotel excellent!!! Dinner and breakfast super excellent!!!!  Transfer to the airport excellent!!!!

Just the start of the day was an issue. Thank you for arranging everything, Ernest!!

Witam serdecznie,

Chciałbym podziękować za pomoc w organizacji przyjazdu do Polski. Cała grupa baaardzo zadowolona. Wszystko na najwyższym poziomie. Super.

Pomyślę o wyjezdzie w przyszłym roku.

Dzięki

Dear Ernest ,

I would like to thank you for the good services you provided to our group. All the participants are very happy and really Poland was a pleasant surprise for them. But it would be remiss not to mention Kuba, our driver, for his kindness, his willingness, his consistency to always be with us. Thank you very much and there will definitely be continuity in our cooperation.

Take care!

Best Regards

Dear Deborah,

 

We returned last night and everything was fine. Thank you for the excellent service. Everything was great, starting from the driver, hotel, lunches (especially the one in Wieliczka, who can eat all that ????). The group was very satisfied. I hope we will have another groups this year. Big kiss.

Hi Przemek,

My group was very amazed and happy with the pilgrimage. We are all happy from the transportation, to the services of the tour guide, driver, and local guides, and the accommodation. The only hotel we never liked was Hotel Paradis in Lourdes because of the food. I know it was me who requested for this hotel, but the food before was not like that. But overall, the pilgrimage was 5*****, and thank you so much for making it happen. It was very tiring, but worth it.

Right now, I'm not feeling well, I have been coughing, I have cold and sore throat, and will need to see a doctor asap.

Again, thank you so much!

Dory

Dear Ernest,

I realised that this email was still stuck in concepts since 6/11.

Yes I arrived home late last night. I am still sick, going to the doctor today.

Thank you for being flexible.

The fam trip was fun, nice hotel, nice group and it was nice to see Krakau. I was kind of surprised how big the business is around pilgrim trips, as I am not really religious myself.

We have a department in Omnia that does trips like that, so I will definitely share the information with them.

To be honest I think it's going to be hard to work together for school trips.

The schools usually have a very low budget, so they often request hostels.

The way we work at Omnia Travel Schooltrips is: we offer them a price for transportation + accommodation. If they agree to that offer and book with us,

thén we work out the complete program and they can decide to book extra activities if they want to. A lot of schools organize their own activities because a lot of the teachers already know the country/city.

So what I usually do is offer them both, I offer them the price of transportation + accommodation only - and I also offer them your complete all-in concept.

Once they receive our offer they can choose which option they prefer and we have to wait for the school to decide.

I do understand why you don't offer hostels and personally I think your price is very reasonable for all that you get.

But so far no school has booked yet. I will keep offering them both though.

I will give you contact information and the flyer to the other department within our company.

Kind regards,

Sharon Withouck


Dear Ernest,

 

Thank you so much for your hospitality during last week's Fam Trip.  Everything was wonderful and it was incredibly helpful to be able to see the distances between sites, the layout of the sites themselves, and the general flow of the itinerary in and around Krakow.  I hope to get a chance to work with you in the future on Poland groups.

 

Best regards,

Hi Ernesto,

Thank you for the invoice. Yes,  I really enjoyed meeting you understanding a lot better what you do and how you operate. It was really worthwhile.

I have a request for Krakow that has just come in and I will forward it to you as soon as I finalise details.

Best regards


Dear Ernest,

Once again thank you for the nice welcome and perfect organisation. IT was great event.

I was in Krakow many times in late 80ties and beginning of 90ties, but I was now really impressed.

I became even bigger fan of the city then before.

And pls feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything in PRG, even if just some advice or help – with pleasure !

Eva Mestanova


Dear Ernesto,

Thank you for a perfectly organised fam-trip. It was really helpful, with superb guides.

The trip was also a great networking opportunity, with some good ideas being exchanged between the various professionals.

We will definitely get in touch about a pilgrimage in 2025.

Apart from being a director in Fowler Tours (responsible for itineraries), I'm also the editor of the national Catholic magazine in South Africa. I will write about Krakow in an upcoming issue, probably April or May, to link the article to the death or birth anniversary of St Jan Pawel II. I'll remember to send you a digital copy of it.

With best wishes

Dear Mr. Ernest,

I'm fine, now I'm in Berlin will back soon.

This fam trip was great.  Thank you for your hospitality.

Hope we will keep in touch

Have a nice day.

Dear Mr Ernest,

 

I’ve received your invoice very well.

We’ll do the payment immediatly.

 

I likte to thank you for the very good stay with program in Krakau. It helps to sell it at our clients.

I hope to have more groups for your company.

 

With kind regards

Dear Ernest,

I would like to thank you for having the opportunity to participate on your Congress.

It was fantastic, perfectly organised and I have a lot of ideas for combination tours now.

I have a client from Sri Lanka, who is very interested in getting the proposal of the programme Prague + Olomouc + Krakow.

Once I get more details, I will surely let you know with sending some request.

Again, thank you,

Take care,

Best regards,
Radka


Hi Ernest,

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the FAM.  You shared so much with us and I am definitely going to let everyone know how wonderful the trip is to Poland.  There was not one glimmer of the conflict in Ukraine and I am kicking myself for canceling the tour.  People were just afraid, I believe.  I will now be able to let them know there is nothing to fear.

I am going to be in touch shortly to see if we can have you handle a Barcelona overnight tour following a cruise.

Thank you again,

Catherine Swan


Bonjour Debora

Nous sommes rentrés hier soir tard dans la nuit. Je voulais te mettre un message mais tu m’as devancé.

Oui le pèlerinage s’est très bien passé. Tous les pèlerins sont ravis. Ce fût une très belle semaine. Le programme et les réservations ont été parfaits. Avec Beata nous avons fait un très bon binôme. J’ai été content de travailler avec elle.

Nous sommes passés à l’agence quand nous étions à Cracovie.

Merci encore pour tout le travail et la réalisation.

Bravo pour le choix des restaurants !!! et le groupe folkorique !!!

Pour les hébergements, super à Cracovie mais moins bien à Czestochowa (c’était notre choix avec le Père Jean-Yves)  - Je pense que la prochaine fois on prendra la formule en hôtel de proximité.

Chère Debora, encore merci pour votre service et à très bientôt

Bien fraternellement


Bonjour Weronika,
Notre bref déplacement s'est très bien passé, nous avons profité de notre voyage et certains d'entre nous envisagent de revenir plus tard...
Dominik est un très bon chauffeur, sympathique et agréable, tout était parfait...
Je vous remercie pour votre organisation...

 

Bien Cordialement

Ernest,

Thank you for your service. It was amazing and very professional. Your sprinter van was the best I had on experience here and your drivers excellent. Thank you again for an incredible time. Keep in touch !

Bonjour Weronika,


Mille mercis pour votre organisation. Tout s'est très bien passé et nous sommes revenus enchantés de notre week end à Cracovie.

 

Dominic a été parfait.

Dear Ernest,

I want to thank you and your team for organising voor de ‘Omnia Travel Group’ that visited Krakow last week July 17-21.

We stayed at the Legend hotel wich was a very good experiance on a very good location nearby the Wawel castle and the Rynek.

Our visit at Wieliczka, Auschwitz-Birkenauw, Czestochowa, and the various restaurants who were chosen, were very good.

Also the farewell-diner at the Wentzl restaurant was very good.

So I hope we could work together in the future to organise some other visits to Krakow …

Thanks very much, and hopefully we will meet again sometime .

Most greetings.


Dzień dobry Pani Dagmaro,

Chciałbym jeszcze raz serdecznie podziękować za pomoc w przygotowaniu naszej pielgrzymki. Wszystko było super przygotowane i wszyscy byli bardzo zadowoleni.

Serdecznie pozdrawiam,


Sehr geehrte Frau Trojan !

Ich möchte mich für die tolle Organisation der Reise bedanken !!!

Es hat alles geklappt und die Kunden waren begeistert !

Nochmals Danke !


Dear Miroslaw,
I gladly transmit the very good appreciation of 18POE services in Poland:
Hotel Galaxy, Krakow
many tour members thought that this was the nicest hotel of the tour
Great breakfast
Bus driver appreciated on-site parking lot for bus
Most efficient luggage service of entire tour

Tomas, Krakow guide
“3 out of 5 stars"
Hard to understand at first, but started to warm up and get easier to understand as the tour went on

In general, Mr. O’Malley said that the food was very good and that the group enjoyed themselves on the tours and at the hotels. Since he is not one to shy away from letting us know if something wasn’t up to standard, it’s safe to assume that everything arranged by (Ernesto Travel) met or exceeded his expectations.

Thank you for your assistance with this group!

Best regards,
