Our Staff and unique packages have really made a difference. Read
what our clients have to say!
“I work with many Olympic level athletes. All are full time
professional athletes, some are Olympic gold medalists and world
record holders. All these athletes require the best of services
and support and the least of worry stress and hassle particularly
when we, the athletes., their coaches and their families travel.
That is why when a vitally important event like the olympics (or
world championships) come around we need the help and services
of the highest and most reliable level- that is why we rely on
Adam Dailey and the team at Ludus Tours.
They take care of all our international accommodation and related
needs at the events. I trust them to do the things that need to
be done for our athletes , families , coaches and friends. Both
myself and my athletes demand a high level of service and Ludus’
delivery is better than anyone. They are reliable, professional
and get the job done. I place the trust of my Oympic Gold medalists
with them and they do not let me down!
I wish all my business connections and the related
services we use operated a well as the way Ludus does!”

| "Words can not describe
the experience I had with Ludus Tours. Unbeatable, exciting and
relaxing are some that come to mind. I would not have enjoyed Torino,
Italy as much as I did if I went it alone or with another tour group.
Ludus' attention to detail was unsurpassed. I didn't have to think
about anything, but enjoy myself. The planned excursions and get-togethers
were flexible enough that I could explore the city on my own, if
I felt a need to (although I enjoyed their company so much that
I didn't have to!). The guides were very knowledgeable and very
helpful in directing us to the best places to eat, tour, shop, etc.Torino
was an unforgettable experience and Ludus made it happen. Thank
you!" -Lucia Cipriano

We planned our trip well
over a year in advance and throughout that time Ludus kept in
touch and were extremely helpful. Once we arrived, our guides
were instant friends. The group tours were very well organized
and the "extras" such as travel cards, museum tours,
dinners and freebies were just icing on the cake. We had such
a great time with Ludus that I think we are now "Ludus for
life" tourists! They made our Olympics a memorable experience.”

Olympics went flawlessly and was made even more enjoyable by the
support and organization of Ludus Tours. I would highly recommend
their services to any country especially when it is your first visit.
The knowledge of staff members to informational
guides to sites made navigating the city of Torino a cinch. The

Ludus Tours was our "reconnaissance team" for the Oktoberfest
2006 festival and the Munich/Bavaria area! They surveyed and worried
about all the stresses of a trip beforehand for us so that all we
had to do was figure out how much partying we were going to do!
Their tour package offered an awesome agenda of events which walked
us through the entire trip yet allowed us to be as flexible and
spontaneous as we wished! Their staff (except for Ann, HA!) were
so accommodating and nurturing to any questions, concerns or worries
we had, which made our trip stress-free and thus awesome! Ludus
Tours did all the research for us (directions), got us the best
deal on hotel accommodations and even partied their hearts out with
us at Oktoberfest! In the end they were more than just our guides,
they were friends. We’ll definitely have another tour done with
Ludus, we would be foolish not to! ”

Adam & Jessica,
We just wanted to say thanks once again for the outstanding time
we were
shown at the 2006 Tour de France finale. The personal attention,
the race
viewing, food, drink, and accommodations were second to none! I
wasn't
sure how the non-cycling members of my family would enjoy it, but
you guys
made sure that it was a memorable day for everyone. My daughter
is still
talking about what an awesome birthday she had, getting to spend
it with
you guys and experiencing up-close the sites and sounds of the Tour.
Your website was informative and easy to navigate. I also appreciated
the
personal communication as our trip approached. We look forward
to
returning to Europe in the future, and we will definitely try
and catch up
with you for another event. Thanks again!
Best wishes,

| Thank you to all your staff for a most
memorable experience at the Athens Summer Olympics.
Our family of 6 used booked through Adam & Jessica Dailey
who were the greatest from start to finish. They arranged Hotel
rooms, tickets to events and suggestions on what else to do while
we were there.
On arrival in Greece Jessica had researched transportation from
the ship to Athens and given us three options, recommending the
best she thought for us, emailed us pictures of our hotel and
its rooms and directions to get there including greeting options.
As we travelled through Europe by train Adam kept us abreast by
email of happenings in Athens prior to our arrival and was there
to greet us at the Hotel when we arrived.
Your on board staff in Athens took us in as adopted family and
made our teenage kids feel very much part of "the group".
The event tickets were superb and if we needed anything your staff
jumped and accomodated every request.
Social time helped us from day one to connect with other familys
and we have
created newand lasting friendship with other athletes relatives.
We look forward to Beijing in three years and do a more extended
tour with your help.
