Awesome trip!
Reviewed By B. Ritt - Meriden, Ct | Traveled to Prague ~ Czech Republic ~ Europe
Recently visited Central Europe, including Krakow, Prague, Cesky Krumlov and Budapest. This trip was awesome and the hotels were spectacular. John always seems to find these wonderful boutique hotels with the best service everytime we travel. He gave us so much detail on restaurants to eat at and shows to see. He made arrangements for us with Jana, a private tour, who took us to places around town that we never would have thought to visit. John is so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I can't imagine planning a trip without his help.

Peru was an eye opener!
Reviewed By Liz K - Cheshire, CT | Traveled to Machu Picchu ~ Peru ~ South America
John takes the time to understand your travel needs. He's not simply an "order taker". Once he got to know my preferences he was able to make recommendations about where to go and sent us to places like Iceland, Costa Rica and Peru, long before any of these destinations had become popular venues. I have recommended Adler travel to a number of friends and family members and they've all been delighted with his expertise and attentiveness.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
