A few reviews about our experiences.“

“““My wife and I have traveled with TGW on 14 tours over 20 years. We were a closed church group. Almost all who went on the tours were multiply times repeat travelers with Manuela/TGW. Trips were to such places as … Game reserves in South Africa, Riverboat up the Nile while touring Egypt and then on to Jordan and Israel, China, New Zealand, Most of the countries in Europe,
On these trip we traveled from place to place via riverboat, ferries, trains, airplanes, boats, hydro foil, or buses. The hotels we stayed at were all of good quality and never an issue checking in. Many of the meals were included, excellent food for the money.
What makes this all work is her organization skills and her attention to details. We think she can do great in any group activity arrangement!”Bob and Jerry Lawler

Los Gatos, CA“I have been traveling with Travel Gingie’s Way since 2000. Manuela’s attention to detail, vast knowledge of destinations worldwide, and kind and caring spirit make her the ideal tour specialist. She works diligently to make each trip special and catered to your particular group and expectations. There are never any surprises. This kind of personal touch is a rare thing in the travel industry.”

We sing in beautiful, historic venues, she gets us really fine hotels, we eat well, we get to see the most interesting sites, and those inevitable problems along the way are always resolved quickly and professionally.”

Jane Bennett
Project manager“Monique is a great artist who knows how to transmit her skills. It was a real pleasure to take her course about fresco art. I can’t wait to discover other artistic fields with Monique who has been of great help to me and who has even become a friend.”
Elisabeth Poudart
School teacher“Monique was able to put us at ease from the start of the course. No matter your level, it adapts to you and will teach you the basics very quickly. At the end of the internship we were able to make a superb work that we took home. A wonderful teacher, patient and pedagogue.”
