We were so grateful for all of the meticulous planning that went into our tour… we never could have done this ourselves. You also provided fantastic suggestions for time on our own for places to dine and things to see. The driver/guided tours were amazing, as were the high quality of the accommodation. Thank you […]

We had a WONDERFUL time! Everyone was so nice and so helpful. The plans you made for us just clicked along… right on schedule. The service Across the Pond provided was truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations. We would happily recommend you to family and friends! ~ Peggy and Kari C.

In October my husband and I embarked on the bucket-list trip of a lifetime. We spent one month touring Scotland and England.  I had previously spent six months doing my own research and spoke to other travel providers who only provided me with cookie-cutter options. That’s when we found Across the Pond Vacations. What a […]

Exceptional service – Across the Pond Vacations gave us what we asked for and more! We liked everything about our trip. Our private Dublin pub crawl was so much fun, and the landscape in Wales was beautiful. We’re looking forward to our next trip with Across the Pond Vacations! ~Peggy and Kari C., Hoover, AL […]

I used Across the Pond vacations this spring for a private and customized father/daughter trip. We had a phenomenal time! Everything went without a hitch. Anne Marie was an excellent travel planner, and her whole team’s operations were seamless. As a travel professional myself, I really appreciate good high-touch customer service. I can highly recommend […]

Across the Pond Vacations’ careful planning made it easy and enjoyable to travel from place to place. It was easy to reach everything we chose to do in London by walking, using the Tube, or riding the bus, which picked us up and dropped us off only a block away from our hotel. We really […]

Our England, Wales, and Ireland tour was arranged exactly as we requested. The hotels were great, the activities were fun and interesting, and the transportation arrangements worked like a charm. The bed and breakfast on Anglesey was one of the best I have ever stayed in, and I loved the Cotswolds Mystery Tour and visiting […]

We had a great experience with Across the Pond Vacations. I wanted our trip to be special. My husband enjoys the Dick Francis novels, and Across the Pond Vacations got us tickets to the Ascot Races. We dressed up in our finery (including the required Ascot hat) and had a great time. Anne Marie and […]

We were very impressed with how organized everything was. Across the Pond Vacations offered some very good suggestions and accommodated our special requests. From the “Meet and Greet” service at the airport to our central London 5-star hotel, we felt very well cared for from the very first day. We loved Cornwall… it was like […]

Both Anne Marie and Simon are fabulous! Between “holding my hand” during decision making, promptly answering my questions, and generally just being the perfect tour operators, I cannot thank them enough for everything. The itinerary binder they provided was my go-to for just about everything, and I will keep it as a memento of this […]
