European Adventures: Custom Trips & Small Group Tours

Jack planned the itinerary, accommodations, and rental cars for our three-week trip to Italy. ...

Going to Ireland was my second trip abroad, the first being to Greece with a group that obviously had not heard of Jack Baumann. Jack sent four of us on a trip visiting four cities starting in Dublin without any worries. From transportation to personalized activities, a trip of a lifetime. His knowledge of Ireland and his choice of hotels never left us disappointed. And our personal driver added more fun adventures as we traveled through Ireland. I look forward to another opportunity where Guidester relieves me of trip planning.

Jack was outstanding and greatly exceeded expectations on every front! Highly recommend and can't wait to book another trip with him.

Our Trip to Sicily was a fascinating experience and was largely due to our tour guide Jack Baumann. He planned a trip that touched each region of the island and gave you a great lesson in the history and culture of that part of Italy.

Thanks to the meticulous planning of Jack at Guidester Travel, our trip to Ireland was better than we even hoped! From the moment we were picked up upon our arrival in Dublin, to the drop off for our return flight, we were free of stress, and concentrated only on how to get the most out of our adventures. I would heartily recommend Jack, and Guidester Travel, to anyone interested in a European vacation!

The accommodations Jack arranged for us were fantastic! We got a lot of great tips from our the provided guide book too!

Being 1st time cruisers, Jack guided us through the whole process. He booked our trip and answered all our questions. Jack shared very valuable information in regards to our excursions throughout the cruise. My wife and I will be using Jack again in the planning of our next trip. Jack took the stress out of planning a successful vacation.

Jack and Gidester are fantastic! We started talking to him over a year ago about our trip to Europe and our ideas and must dos. Jack met us (3 adults) in person and walked us through what made sense and made recommendations on what was possible and what would be pushing our itinerary, we made it clear we wanted down time as well. Every recommendation he made turned out to be fantastic. He took care of everything. We stayed in 3 different countries (7 cities total) and he coordinated it all seamlessly. He found all the planes, trains, and automobiles we needed to get to each place. Each hotel he recommended was above expectation and we were blown away at each location. Each one was better than the previous. We had many guided tours in each country and all the guides were professional, prompt and personable. We were even in Europe for the cyber attack and traveling from Glasgow to London to Rome, when the attack happened. Our flight was delayed and he handled the transport for the private driver for us, communicating the delay. Top notch company and travel agent! Could not recommend more!

Our second trip with Jack. We wouldn't go with anyone else! He spoils us with his knowledge, kindness, and care. Our trip to Wales was wonderful!
