Katri and Gordon West booked a Malta & Tunisa tour package:

First I would like to thank you for a very well organized trip to Malta and Tunisia.
It was so reassuring having somebody meet you at the airport regardless of your time of arrival.  I had been a bit worried with the change in arrival time and airport in Tunisia but there he was waiting for us.
Hotel El Mouradi Hammamet was a beautiful hotel with good food. There was another party from Canada at the same time.  It turns out that the French speaking Tunisia is a popular destination for Canadians from Quebec especially Montréal.  It is off-season in Tunisia but still beats the Canadian winter so the Quebecois come and 
spend months there.
Early next morning Salar, our guide and Aramzi, our driver were there with a 4WD.  I'm not sure of the spelling of their names as we never saw them written.  First we stopped at El Jem to see the well preserved Coliseum.  I hadn't realized how near to the fights and animals you would be in the front row!  I'm sure the spectators got 
splattered with blood.  (Gordon attended a hockey game in Toronto a  couple of days later sitting in the front seats and realized nothing had changed in 2000 years, except there were no FURRY animals).  
Salar took us then - "on his own expense" - to see the new local  museum that had mainly mosaics from the Roman villas around there.  I  have never seen anything like it.  The mosaic pieces were mostly very small so the pictures were like paintings with life like expressions  and shading.  The animals almost leapt out at you.  Those Romans must have had lots of money - and got hold of a superb artist to do them.  
Saw a couple of the mosaics later at the Bardo Museum in Tunis.
Stopped at the Berber village Matmata and had lunch there then  visited Dar Omar's Berber home dug into the hillside which he is expanding to make it to a B&B place.  That will be really something different.
In the afternoon we arrived in Douz after seeing hundreds of  thousands of olive trees on the way and went straight to the camel depot for a ride in the desert with a young boy walking our camels - no galloping into the sunset.  Back at home I could brag at my  aerobics class about having to scrape off the camel dung from the bottoms of my running shoes.  Stayed at Hotel Saharien Paradise with a lovely garden with birds singing, 
Next morning drove north over the salt lake along a causeway stopping  at a thermal pumping station where people could bathe, admired "artificial" oases with date palms and arrived at Metlaoui where we boarded a "Sultan's" train for a most spectacular ride up a canyon with several photo-op stops on the way.  Stopped at a mining town at  the other end and then back.  Took a couple of hours. 25 dinars each, 
well worth it.
Back to Tozeur to Hotel Hafsi.  A fine hotel with a pool where  (European, Canadian) children were swimming.  In the afternoon a ride to Onc Djel through the desert up and down the dunes.  It was fun once you got used to it.  Our driver was very good and careful and I felt my life was in good hands.  Arrived at the Star Wars village and 
at home tested our children whether they would recognize it.  They  passed.
Camels at pasture sand bathing in the track's soft sand, sheep, goats, an Oman Emir's tent city - showing his offspring how their ancestors used to live?
At Nefsa looked at the town from the Corbeille and then took a horse  cart ride down to the oasis.  Turned out that camels are OK but horses are out as far as my allergies go.  I had medications at the hotel (usually I carry them with me all the time but not when I would  need them!) and by dinner time was fine.  Visited Dar Cheraiet in the 
evening , a private museum  which is meant, I think, for children,  not for avid label readers like me (personal opinion).  But it was nice with sound and light effects.
Next morning to Chebiba oasis where we had a leisurely walk up the  stream to a pool with green frogs and to the spot where the water comes out of the rock.  Saw the remnants of a Roman fort where they collected taxes from the caravans that came to drink at this oasis. 
Beautiful. 
Spectacular formations of young sedimentary rocks that we  don't usually see.  Gordon took many photos and is going to catch some of his colleagues to explain the geology.
Then a side trip to Mides, little visited gorge.  How can a river that is so small now ever have gouged a gorge like that?  Stopped also at the Grand Cascade with a nice 
swimming hole but once there had been a flash flood that drowned 6 people.  And now, just a trickle.
Stopped for lunch at Yugurtha Palace.  A real palace that seems to be  in the middle of nowhere. Luxurious and good food.  Hit Tunis at rush hour but Hotel El Hana an oasis.  Said good by to Salar.   
He gave us good advice on how to entertain ourselves the next day before 
Aramzi would pick us up for the airport.
Visited the famous Bardo Museum, well worth it, and then decided to  go native and took the Metro to Carthage with a change at Tunis Marine and guessed fairly well where to get off.  And we found the Porte Punique just as it was described.  Any paintings and drawings one sees make it look really big as if it could hold modern war 
ships.  In reality the boats were relatively small and could not have carried any elephants across the Mediterranean.  Gordon got many pictures of the reconstructed models of the Punic and the later Roman ports. There was a local guide who explained the place in very clear French to which by that time we had become quite used to.
In the evening Aramzi picked us up and drove us to see Sidi Bou Said, a pretty, well kept tourist spot worth the visit, and then deposited us at the airport.
All in all they took good care of us, gauged our interests and changed the program somewhat to suite our wishes.  The hotels were well situated and clean and people friendly and helpful everywhere.
Malta, of course, was wonderful.  Next time we know to reserve more  time for it and relax.  At the airport I bought Lyn Hamilton's book "The Maltese Goddess" and now must return to see the Mnajdra Temple.
Thank you again from us both
Katri and Gordon West

Cheryl booked a variety of tours and activities:

It's time to return to "wonderful" Britian.  But just wanted to thank you for the tours I went on.  Sicily was fantastic as were the guide and the driver.  The guide really gave a personal touch to the tour.
The gozo tour - What a gentlemen the young man is that took me around.  He showed me all the good sites and really made me "like the Queen".  He took me to many villages which was really amazing and is very informative about all the places of interest.  I really enjoyed my day in Gozo
The Blue Grotto and temple tour was amazing.  Pat the tour guide is really funny and very informative.  i really enjoyed the day.
But I will say thank you for making my stay most enjoyable.  I walked from Mdina to the Dingly cliffs then on to Blue Grotto area.  Beautiful countryside you people have,  in fact I have met so many amazing people who are locals. 
Take Care
Cheryl

Booked the dolphin swim & interact and taxi services:

Been meaning to e-mail you to say a very big thankyou for your help in booking my taxi and the dolphins. I had the bestest time ever and shall never forget it, you never know I might come back and do it all again. Once again thanks

Darren & Lucy booked a private Gozo Jeep Tour with Helicopter flights:

Hope it is still sunny in Malta!!! Thanks very much for organising our Gozo Helicopter Adventure!! We had a really great time.
Everything went smoothly from the outset, with the personal touch of a hotel pick-up and assistance with check-in at the airport. The helicopter trip was amazing.  We were the only passengers and so had great views for the whole flight.
Your rep was very helpful on Gozo, ensuring that Mario, our jeep driver knew what we wanted to see and which order was best to see it in.  We had time for a quick swim at Ramla Bay, a view of the Bay from the Calypso Cave and the Ggantija Temple before lunch.  Mario took us to see the salt flats along a very scenic coastline before returning to the Chez Amand for a superb (and large) meal (which took about an hour and a half).  There was a little confusion as Mario had assumed we'd booked, but there was a free table with a view of the bay, so all was fine  - future visitors may be advised to book
to secure a table as it was fairly popular for a small restaraunt.
After lunch we were whisked off to the Azure Window and back to the Citadel for a quick look round - maybe a little too rushed as we'd asked if 1/2 hr would be long enough.  Mario was very keen to get us back to the ferry terminal in plenty of time, and even after getting him to drive up the hill overlooking the port and out to Comino and Gozo, we still had over half an hour to sit around before queuing for the ferry for another 1/2 hour.  We
were a little disappointed at having the spare time, but having had a brisk tour of the island, we were very happy with how the day had gone.  Our taxi driver was very chatty on our way back to the hotel, as he'd been to England.  The convenience of the taxi was definately a bonus and well worth it.
We'd mentioned to you about the climbing session with Ritchie from Malta Rock Climbing and I'm pleased to say we had a great time with him the following morning.  He's about 40yrs old, with over 20yrs of experience and local knowledge of the crags.  He's suitably qualified and a very safe operator.  He took us to the Victoria Lines where we tried both traditional climbs (placing various protection in the rock as you go) and ready-prepared
sport routes which were ideally suited to my ability and experience.  I'd recommend him to anyone, from absolute beginner to raving rock-nut.
Thanks again for preparing a fantastic day (definately ideal for a birthday
present!!)
Regards
Darren & Lucy

Mrs Ashcroft  booked a Dolphin Swim & Interact:

first of all i'd like to let you know we enjoyed swimming with the dolphins on 21/04/05 it was fantastic we will definitly be returning to malta to do it again. we found the park well run the animals are well looked after and the staff are brilliant, give them a pat on the back from us for being a caring bunch and tell them to keep up the good work.        
secondly a very dear friend has just found out she has terminal cancer its been her dream to swim with the dolphins but financial circumstances have prevented her from doing so however since time is no longer on her side she's going to raise the money to fulfil her dream my question is are there any restictions at your park for her to book a swim please reply a.s.a.p thanks mrs j ashcroft.
