Message : Re: Thank you EU Holidays and Mr Gary Teo for a wonderful tour around Spain & Portugal Tour information: Tour Leader: Mr Gary Teo Tour Package: 13D10N Spain & Portugal Tour Dates: 2017 (25/4 - 5/7) 2016 : Last year (Aug/Sep 2016), my family of 4 comprising my husband (Choong Teck Min) & I and our 2 sons Gabriel & Daniel, travelled for the 1st time with EU Holidays to Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia. We had a great time and were well taken care of by Tour Leader Ms Mei Wai Kuan. My son, Daniel Choong, posted some feedbacks (to your email and your Facebook) on our satisfaction with the tour then. 2017: Following our satisfaction with EU Holidays last year, my family decided to travel again with EU Holidays on a 13D/10N tour to Spain & Portugal from 25/4-7/5 2017. This time, we brought along my 82 years old mother-in-law. Although we had requested for Ms Mei, we were assigned another Tour Leader, Mr Gary Teo. Our family of 5 had a great time in Spain & Portugal. Thank you to EU Holidays. We are especially grateful and appreciative to Mr Gary Teo who had taken very good care of our 3 generation family’s needs. (1) He made sure we were always seated together and our rooms were in close proximity. (2) He was mindful & attentive of my old mother-in-law’s slow pacing, stepping over uneven grounds, mandarin translation needs for tour instructions, and was constantly helping with her baggage; (3) Besides looking after the 21 tour group members’ needs, he went out of his way to help to arrange a birthday celebration for my son Gabriel on 5/5/17. (a) We were unable to purchase a birthday cake along the tour as we were traveling the whole day from Salamanca to Madrid. He also encountered problems getting a birthday cake at the dining places for both lunch (Suckling Pig at Segovia) and dinner (Chinese Buffet at Madrid) as both venues already had desert provided and weren’t able to help to get a cake from outside the restaurants. So he very creatively arranged for the cutting of a Suckling Pig to a cutting of a birthday cake for Gabriel plus added a slice of Segovia’s local cake into the catered dessert. Gabriel was overjoyed and was very happy to share & celebrate the special day with the whole tour group, and (b) When we arrived at Madrid in the evening, Gary made use of some extra time prior to dinner to make a stop at Real Madrids’ Football Stadium (the tour program was supposed to just drive past the stadium). Gabriel, who is an avid football fan, was thrilled and high with excitement. He was able to take lots of pictures beside the stadium & the huge posters of football players, as well as buy some Real Madrid football mementos. My family is very satisfied with the Spain & Portugal tour and thank Gary very much for all his arrangements for the tour group and my 3-generation family.
