I really do not hesitate to book with VTE because they have always been thorough and organized and I can rest assured everything will be taken care of. The staff they use, including guides have also been impressive. We actually had a medical emergency one time and the guide worked with my principal and I to make sure the student was cared for promptly and she knew immediately which hospital was closest, arranged transportation. It is important to also note that before working with them, I did not know them, or have any reason to remain loyal to them or vouch for them. They have earned my respect.
