What travelers are saying

"We just concluded another private tour with Ritz. Once again Lilian worked with us to create a spectacular, personalized, three week, tour of Southeast Asia. The service, resorts and excursions were thoughtful, diverse and top notch-as we requested. And for us it was effortless. She anticipated all of our needs with the grace of an experienced travel agent. We have traveled with other luxury travel brands and Ritz Tours has surpassed them all in value and service. I highly recommend Ritz Tours to new and experienced travelers."

What travelers are saying

"I didn’t know what to expect on a group trip, but this ended up being one of the best vacations we’ve ever been on! Being an intense planner, I had a hard time giving the reins away, but it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Annie truly found the best of the best in Italy! We felt like we were on a luxury, private vacation that was perfectly customized for us! The tours, the food, the accommodations, while booked for the group, truly felt personalized, making the experience absolutely magical and so much fun! Not to mention, it was a huge value! Being in finance, I 'ran the number'. For accommodations, daily transportation, daily meals, and excursions, I thought the cost made sense. What I didn't factor in was the intimate experience. We ate amazing meals in local's private homes! Our tours were limited to our group and we we're shuffled into tour buses but privately chartered luxury vans to travel between destinations. It's hard to vacation without these amenities these days, I hope The Table Less Traveled continues to offer a new tour yearly, or else my vacations will be limited. :)"
