This was our 3rd trip through AmFund – Costa Rica, Aruba and now Spain. We just returned from the Spain getaway, and it was the best yet. AmFund selected the best adventures and hotel accommodations. Included with the trip, we went on a catamaran ride (with snorkeling) in the Mediterranean Sea, enjoyed a Flamenco show – in which we had front row seats, and toured the city of Barcelona with the best tour guides around. AmFund was flexible with scheduling, our requested upgrades and even helped guide us with booking our own activities. Highly recommend AmFund and Joanne Bayless.

Thank you Maiken Pickton for setting up an awesome trip to Greek Islands. The hotels were beautiful, and the flights were on schedule with no issues. This trip reinforces how nice it is to travel as a couple versus the big tour groups. I never would be able to do a cruise with all those people and the long lines we saw in the Greek Islands.

The recommended excursions/activities allowed us to customize the trip to our interests. All the excursions were on time, and they went out of their way to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves. I highly recommend the sunset cruises.

Thanks again for setting up this wonderful trip that will be remembered for the rest of our lives!!

Our recent AmFund trip to France was a five star experience all around. We stayed in fabulous hotels, ate amazing food and participated in prearranged tours that came off flawlessly.

This was our second AmFund purchased tour. Each has been fabulous. After having a rough patch with staffing, AmFund has worked out the kinks and its now easy to contact your coordinator and plan the trip details. Our coordinator, Lisa, couldn't have been more helpful! She assisted with details, changes and was flexible with our evolving plans. The hotels selected by AmFund were perfect - very charming and unique venues, reflective of the local area. We would have likely overlooked them if we were booking for ourselves. The guided tours arranged by AmFund were terrific. The tour guides showed up on time, in the right place and we were whisked off to a guided tour that we could not have done on our own. All in all, a very wonderful experience. We will bid on these tours at every non-profit fund raising event we attend - they are good deal for both the organization and the travelers!

We had an incredible trip to Costa Rica with stays in 4 different locations. Everything was coordinated by AmFund from plane reservations, rides between each destination, and excursions. AmFund made the trip easy and the places we stayed, local guides and drivers, and overall experience AMAZING!!! Thank you.

We traveled to Capri, Italy and can’t say enough about what a wonderful trip this was. At La Floridiana, we were treated like family and the island views were breathtaking. We enjoyed a day trip to the Amalfi Coast. Thank you for making this such a memorable trip.

What a great trip to France. AmFund really took care of everything and were with us every step of the way; even fixing a few hiccups along the way. They were so accommodating to move plans around for us so we could see Paris, where I proposed to my wife 10 years ago. The castles were so charming and the smaller cities, delightful. But if you plan to shop, stay away from Paris on a Sunday. Go see some museums or the Eiffel Tower. Also, avoid Air France if you can. Sorry, not the best airline. The hotels that were chosen for us were perfect. English was never a problem. And the food, what can I say, the only way to stay on your diet is to walk. Absolutely perfect vacation.

We had an amazing time in Italy. I couldn't have found a better place to stay than The Relais Vignale in Radda. I loved the rustic stone architecture and the amazing views of the vineyards. We also loved Florence and enjoyed the walking tour. AmFund did a wonderful job!

We went on the 8 day Croatian tour from Amfund last week and were highly impressed at the details that were put into the trip. Each hotel was superb, excursions exactly as explained and everything was perfectly planned. Our favorite parts were the Plitvicka National Park(even though there was a light rain), catamaran to Hvar Island, private transfer from Split to Dubrovnik and the Old Town and a beach in Dubrovnik.
Wishes - that we could've stayed on Hvar Island instead of Zagreb, brought some warm jackets in Oct, and brought our bank card to get Euros
Tips - you will need more euros than you think - some of the smaller sites only take Euros and we liked to tip in euros, bring a rain coat and comfortable waterproof shoes if you are going to Plitvicka, water shoes if you are going to a beach(mainly pebbly), buy a Dubrovnik pass to use their buses(it was quite easy and quick), get Global entry for your way back into the US.
