Pacific Northwest - Customer comments
Less well known than other regions, the Pacific Northwest promises one of the most beautiful fly drive holidays in all of North America. You will love the cosmopolitan city of Seattle, the high mountain passes, rain forests and rugged coastlines not to mention the volcanic regions of Crater Lake and Newberry National Volcanic Monument. This itinerary is varied, unhurried and most of all a fabulous surprise for most people who have never visited this region before.

Hi
Our apologies for not contacting you sooner. It seems to have been so busy.
We just want to say what a wondrful holiday we had thanks to your wonderful organisation when we went on our trip to the Great Pacific NorthWest.
We had fabulous flights, accommodation, car hire, journeys. Everything went very smoothly and meant we had a very stress free holiday.
We loved Seattle and the personal travel portfolio you mailed out to us meant we knew exactly how to make the best of our stay.
Other highlights were Lake Quinault and the Oregon coastline.
One of our favourite discoveries was a beach called Cannon Beach just near to Seaside. I wonder whether you could include accommodation in Cannon Beach instead of Seaside as it is so much nicer.
Another discovery was Nye Beach, just a walk from our hotel in Newquay and perhaps it would be worth adding to your portfolio to recommend it to travellers looking for an excellent meal at April’s in Nye Beach, probably the best food we had on our trip.
Perhaps you could include travellers’ recommendations? Another excellent trip was on a low cost ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island and we ate at the Cafe Nola on Winslow High Street. We just watched where all the locals were heading, and it was worth it.
We have recommended your travel company to our friend, Bryan Mitchell and his wife, and we believe they are booking a trip to Boston and New York. Hope they will be as satisfied as us.
Now we wonder where next?
Kind regards
Jill & Pete Long

We really appreciate contructive comments regarding our itineraries. We have looked at the Cannon Beach location and would be happy to offer this to anyone on an adhoc basis however the property is not proactive in working with international tour operators so rates are quite a bit higher and they require a 2 night minimum stay throughout the summer which would mean changes elsewhere to accommodate 2 nights in what is a very small community. Both the Seaside and Newport locations offer beachfront properties.
My husband and I returned last Sunday (20 August) from two weeks touring in Washington State and Oregon and felt that we had to write and say thank you. From the time we made our first enquiry to you to the moment we landed back in the UK everything has been handled very efficiently. With regards to the actual holiday itself all the hotels were well situated (a couple had the most amazing views) and there were no issues with either the flight or the hire car. We would definitely travel with you again and would recommend you to our friends and acquaintances.

We had an excellent tour covering all the areas we wanted to and we were blessed with almost 100% hot sunny weather throughout. In retrospect we might have added another day’s stop at two or three locations but you can only tell this when you have done the tour. The air travel arrangements all went very smoothly and the upgrade to World Traveller Plus was well worthwhile - the extra space and foot room made for a very much more relaxed journey.
The car rental arrangements with Hertz also went very smoothly with efficient pick up at Seattle - no extras (this is the first rental company where we have experienced no extras on pick-up!) - and a free upgrade! - first rate.
The accommodation was all very good - Sun Mountain Lodge especially so - Shilo Inns check-in arrangements seemed particularly well organised.
