ON GROUP STUDY AND LEADERSHIP PROJECTS

  • Thank you so much, Kendra - you are such a pleasure to work with and very good at what you do!
    J.L., Manhattan, Kansas - December 2023
  • Thank you Scott! Your guidance and help are so very appreciated. I can’t say it enough.
    D.W., Monterey, California – November 2023
  • It was an awesome trip. Well organized, with many diverse visits and Mathilde and our bus driver were super! A little slow at the end, which might be good given the energy left in the group. Not a single visit that I wouldn’t recommend again.
    W.S., Lexington, Kentucky - May 2023
  • Thank you so much for the outstanding travel arrangements in D.C./Alexandria, VA and Gettysburg. Perfect locations and excellent service!
    J.H., Rapid City, South Dakota - March 2022
  • I have utilized the services of Frederick Travel for the past 12 years for both international and domestic travel. I completely endorse the outstanding services provided by Scott Allen and his team in providing an amazing transformational travel experience for each of my LEAD classes while meeting the objectives of our travel seminars. Thank you Scott and Kendra!
    T.H., Lincoln, Nebraska - January 2022
  • I recently escorted an agricultural study tour for 22 adults to Costa Rica in early January 2022. With some severe winter weather and airline staff shortages causing a few air travel delays – on top of all the pandemic-related concerns and policies – there were a few hiccups related to our travel. But Scott at Frederick Travel Waterloo (and his in-country service provider) were on top of things and quickly resolved any changes that needed to be made to ensure our group got to where we needed to be. And all of our services in country were outstanding: guide, driver, hotel accommodations, meals and tours were all very good. Costa Rica has taken pandemic safety precautions very seriously, yet still provides a very welcoming atmosphere to their guests. This was our first international travel experience in two years, and the group was very happy with the experience.
    L.V. Ithaca, New York - January 2022
  • I’ve been so grateful to have your wise counsel and vast experiences to draw upon regarding our international travel. Scott, it’s been a pleasure working with you the past 10+ years on our international study tour locations and itineraries!! You’ve provided life changing experiences for our participants and myself in the different countries we’ve traveled to! And…you’ve always handled any issue that came up so professionally and quickly for which I’ll be forever grateful.
    M.H. Fargo, North Dakota - July 2021
  • Mathilde and Marco were excellent and exhibited great flexibility and amazing hospitality. We feel lucky to have traveled with them. When an agenda item fell through Mathilde was able to seamlessly arrange for another activity that added great value to the experience. I cannot commend them enough. We also appreciate you and Christina for your tremendous support, responsiveness, and willingness to answer any questions. Overall, communications were clear, concise, and warm. Thank you for such amazing customer service.

ON GROUP BOOKINGS

  • Hey Kendra, thanks so much for all of your help once again for our Commodity Classic event. We had another fantastic trip. The concerts and rodeo were absolutely fantastic! I wanted to also pass along that both Carol and Michele has lots of great things to say about you. They have really enjoyed working with you again this year. Thanks!
    B. L., Belmont, Ontario - March 2024
  • This was one of the best tours that I have been on, with or without Charles. The hikes were challenging and very interesting and the guides were all excellent. The hotels were very good with the final two being of exceptional quality. I really cannot think of any suggestions for improvement and I l look for to my next adventure with Charles. Thank you for organizing such a wonderful trip.
    Dave, Kitchener, Ontario - October 2023
  • I want to thank you for the well organized and very interesting trip, it was very enjoyable. I liked all the hotels you booked and I ended up getting good rooms in all of them in spite of being a single. I would also like to thank you for arranging all the flight legs with a window seat for me. I know this was a challenge with Icelandair procedures but made the travel part much more enjoyable.
    Marc, Guelph, Ontario – October 2023
  • Hope this email finds you well! Before I get to my request I just want to say Kendra has been AMAZING in helping us plan our group trip to Punta Cana and we are beyond satisfied with the work she has done! I don't think this trip would be happening if it wasn't for her, because we were about to call it quits on the whole idea before connecting with your travel company! So glad we found you guys!
    Natasha, Kitchener, Ontario - September 2023
  • We are having a wonderful time. The itinerary for these first two days has been beautiful. Our guide Paul is excellent. His knowledge of the history, history, geography and culture has been greatly appreciated. And, thanks to your recommendation several of us descended on the soup in a bread bowl restaurant. Excellent! Weather is sunny and so are our dispositions THANKS to your hard work creating the trip.
    John & Judy, Fergus, Ontario - September 2023

We are so very grateful for your over and above efforts for us and our motley crew of travellers.

ON INDIVIDUAL TRAVEL PLANNING

  • I received the packet you sent with all the Information. There's a reason why one deals with professionals in each field. Your service has been Exceptional and Professional on all levels. I have looked over the packet briefly and will go over it with my granddaughter more tomorrow. Couldn't have made this outstanding adventure without you.
    Debra, Las Vegas, NV - March 2024
  • I appreciate you getting back to me so late on a Friday afternoon and then checking in again on a Saturday! We couldn’t have asked for better arrangements and service. Our family vacation was awesome! Thanks so much for everything.
    Alanna & Gerry - March 2023
  • Ireland was all we expected and more, we came away from the visit with enhanced feelings about the country, the people were friendly and welcoming, and the land picturesque. Overflowing with history, we couldn’t help coming away with some deeper perspective. The itinerary ran smoothly and without a hitch – we have you to thank for that, keep using the same contacts you are because it’s working well. We're grateful. Although this was our trip of a lifetime, a return to Ireland is not to be ruled out. While the Trad on the Prom was fantastic, we had hoped to see more traditional dance – I guess we expected to see more of this entrenched in their culture/routines. I think there is a national dance competition that we’ll have to research more about and see where it goes from there. Thank-you for all you’ve done to make our trip so memorable.
    Scott & Annette - September 2019
  • Hello Scott! Thanks for the welcome home letter. Our Italian holiday was perfect, we loved every moment! All of the accommodations were wonderful. We loved Relais Borgo San Pietro. It was really a dream come true arriving there the first day! The personnel were so gracious, and added so much to our stay. The location was perfect from which to explore this area of Tuscany each day. Ahhh Tuscany Thanks!!! All of the other accommodations were wonderful too!! The beautiful two hotels in Florence were perfectly situated...Gosh we loved Florence! and Cinque Terre!! I guess that pretty much covers it all...we loved every moment! Even our tiny wee Fiat was so fun to navigate on the wee roadways (cow paths) oh and did I mention the food..... As always we do appreciate your recommendations and expertise. Grazie mille!!!
    Deb & Percy - September 2019
  • You were so much help during what would normally have been a stressful time for the both of us - so thank you! No negative feedback to provide you, only positive. I so so appreciated how quickly you got back to me in answering any questions I may have had as I do tend to get in my head and make things worse than they actually are. The flight, transfers and resort were all amazing. Only one issue though..... the trip wasn't long enough! Haha! but all good things must come to an end. It just gives us the opportunity to be excited for future trips. You will be hearing from us. Thanks Scott!
