| Client Comments: Susanne . . . .Our most sincere thanks for a magical vacation. The Kaiser Ball was an overwhelming success.The hotel Johan Strauss was perfect. Excellent location, close to the metro, a beauty shop and stores. The most wonderful breakfast we have ever had from a European Hotel. Staff was extremely helpful.Your choice of restaurants was excellent. Quality and ambiance. Wonderful settings and excellent meals.I don't know how you did it, but we had the best seats in the house, or palace,for the Kaiser Ball, Directly on the dance floor near the main entrance, and elevated. Clearly we were the envy of all those in attendance. First row for Die Fledermaus was not too shabby either.Thanks Susanne for a magical evening. Paul & Ginny Lasko 2011/12 “The trip was a Blast! - I have to go back to Vienna again. Your choice of restaurants was superb. Everything we did ended with a touch of savoir-faire. At the Palais Coburn they made my goulash even though it was not on the menu, and we had a tour of the underground and the wine cellar. We made friends with another couple that you booked. Petra Muller, our guide in Vienna was the best. The Imperial Ball was better than expected. There were many different bands - I even found a jazz band with a vocalist. Being met and taken to the airport is something that I will add to future travels.” (S.Irick-2008/9)
