An Unforgettable Italy Adventure
"We both miss Italy already! Everything was perfect, the hotel, tours, restaurants, all the towns with the gorgeous scenery, and the shopping!
The only bad thing were the crowds and trying to cross the street. Pretty scary drivers around there. Also the flight w the layover was exhausting.
We enjoyed working w you too! Ill start saving for my next adventure??"
Beth K, NY
Surpassing Expectations!
"This vacation is in my Top 3 vacations ever (ever!). Thank you so much. Everything was perfect, and it honestly felt like T and I had about 2.5 vacations in one -- Munich, river cruise, 0.5 for Amsterdam and one of the best meals I've ever had. The agency that took us on the day trip out to Ludwig's castle and palace gave us the best driver guide. And everything was accessible or flexible to our travel companions."
Tiffany Y, NY
Great Trip to Italy
My family and I can't recommend Buffy at Sunlit Travel enough. Our trip to Italy couldn't have been more perfect. I'd never worked with a travel agent before and had no idea the difference it could make. But, Buffy was terrific!
Her response time to emails was quick and she was always available for a phone conversation. It felt like having a friend who just happens to know everything about travel.
She took the time to find out what our family loves and created a trip that was just what we wanted. She planned another trip for my daughter and her husband that was amazing too. Now, she's putting together an adventure for my other daughter and son in law.
Anyone considering a trip - talk to Buffy. You'll be so glad you did.

Impressed with how smooth it went!
We had an amazing time & were really impressed with how smooth everything went with everything you booked for us. The concierge was super helpful & the room was beautiful. We got a nice bottle of champagne in our room :) We loved the location because it was in a quiet area but still so close to everything- we walked everywhere. Our room had a view of the water - wonderful. The room was quaint but had everything we needed for our stay. We absolutely loved the breakfast & even better that it was served on their rooftop. The agroturismo in San Gimignano was beautiful and they offered dinner which was great. Our room had really great views but was basic. There wasn’t wifi in our building- we had to go to the main building up the road. They gave us a bottle of wine when we checked out which was nice. We learned that it was important to call ahead if you were visiting a winery because they might not be able to take drops in on certain days. But really, we wanted to thank you for everything.

Wow, nice job Buffy!
I cannot thank you enough. We had a great trip. The boys and I are your biggest fans.. we walked into the Cabin at Fernie and were all saying “Wow, nice job Buffy” , the place was awesome.
Thank you for taking care of the “hiccup” , the credit was very fair. I refused to wrestle with the hotel while trying to be on vacation. Finally I thought to alert you to the situation, you did your thing and made it right. Instantly I was back in vacation mode.
Thank you!

Thanks for a great Jamaican Honeymoon!
Rebecca and I wanted to thank you for all your help with planning the honeymoon. Everything was amazing and we both had an incredible time. Thanks to some very generous gifts, we ended up upgrading to a master suite with butler service so needless to say, our honeymoon was as about as perfect as could be. The Club Mobay addition was a great call, especially for when we first landed in Jamaica. So thank you for that suggestion as well. I don't have Facebook, but Rebecca will certainly send over some pictures! Thank you again for everything!

Amazing Vacation!
Still a few days left but wanted to THANK YOU. What an amazing place to vacation! We are having a blast! Walked into town twice for dinner, shopping and of course the fish fry.
Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for a great trip!
We loved EVERYTHING about our trip, it was amazing! Our flights were good, there was no trouble with any of the arrangements. The excursions were so much fun also, especially the ATV which wasn't my first choice ;) All we can think about is where we want to go next! I really appreciate all your help with the planning!I will have to show you some wedding and honeymoon pics next time I see you! :) Thanks again!
