    The trip was very well organized and we had a lot of fun. The only thing was that the rooms were very small. But we were out and about more than in the hotel anyway.

    Unsere USA-Reise mit journaway war einfach unglaublich! Von den glitzernden Lichtern des Times Square bis zu den endlosen Stränden von Miami, den ikonischen Wahrzeichen von Los Angeles und den aufregenden Casinos von Las Vegas - jede Stadt hatte ihren eigenen faszinierenden Charme. Die Organisation durch journaway war herausragend, vom Flug bis zu den Unterkünften und den angebotenen Aktivitäten. Wir fühlten uns gut betreut und konnten jeden Moment in vollen Zügen genießen. Diese Reise wird für immer in unseren Erinnerungen bleiben - vielen Dank!

    In September, we took a round trip with Journaway to the USA from New York to Las Vegas. We were particularly impressed by the service provided by the staff before and during the trip. All our wishes were catered for so that we were able to experience a fantastic trip to the USA according to our wishes.
