I enjoyed working with Across the Pond Vacations very much! I realize my requests were a bit unusual, and I appreciate them finding the right suppliers to fill the bill. The trip started off great with not just meet and greet at the airport, not just a transfer into the city, but a full sightseeing […]

The planning and execution of this trip was near flawless. I am so glad we had a chance to follow up our first trip, and I hope there is yet another trip through Across the Pond in our future!  I am SO glad we chose to go with the private driver-guides. We had some of […]

Thanks again for helping plan a perfect Spring Break vacation. It was both a fun and educational trip for my high school senior.  She totally “fan girled” over Ben Lewis in Phantom of the Opera and would love to do Props for a local production of The Play that Went Wrong. Highlights for me, a […]

For our 25th anniversary, we called upon Anne Marie, who went to work planning the most magical vacation, truly fitting a happy 25th. She took care of everything. We stayed in Castles, Manor Houses and even a Bed & Breakfast! We had such a wonderful time that after only a few brief weeks back home, […]

Across the Pond Vacations fed into my “obsessive planner” disorder wonderfully, and took away any trepidation I had about traveling in a foreign country with my 15-year old son. Across the Pond does a remarkable job of listening to your interests and recommending activities to suit. Though […]

Working with them was the number one best decision I made when I thought about putting […]

We are so thankful to you for putting this incredible trip together. In fact, we gave many other U.S. travelers your contact information during our trip! This was Rob’s first trip to England, and it was amazing! As fans of Tudor history and hauntings, you were able to find for us thing we’d never even […]
