I have used Travelsphere a number of times during the past 16 years and I can honestly say that for me they are the best tour company. I have used several others and they are o.k. but for me Travelsphere seems to have the edge. The last holiday was the Island of Elba tour last September. It was absolutely beautiful. I am a single traveller but prefer Travelsphere to Just You which is the sister company for solo travellers. I like the fact that there are always people around but if you want to be alone, there is opportunity to do so, it is your choice providing the same hotel is used for the whole holiday. I am very much looking forward to going to Umbria with Travelsphere again in September of this year. Travelsphere always send a satisfaction questionnaire after a holiday, and I can honestly say that they always take notice of the points raised. As I have a slight mobility problem, I have always found the agents to be understanding and helpful. The tours where a number of hotels are used can be quite arduous, I have been on a number of these, and yes, there is the feeling of being herded around but this is inevitable on a touring holiday with various hotels to stay in. Towards the end of a two week holiday it does get very tiring, but I always find the guides to be knowledgeable and informative.
