Reviews & Testimonials

“Loved the fact that activities, lunches, Happy Hours, tours, etc. were scheduled for us and in places we might have missed. Great communication from the community manager in a timely manner with schedules, directions, etc. Appreciated the suggestions for activities on the weekends when no activities were scheduled.”

Quality of staffing & overall delivery of program.

Patrick is a gem and Barcelona is fabulous!

“The Good Life Abroad offered me a way to test drive my life in Europe—without doing all the work behind it. They made it easy.”

Everything exceeded my expectations. Prague is a safe and walkable city with great public transportation and beautiful pastel-colored buildings. There was more to see and do than I anticipated. It was easy to take day trips to nearby Czech cities like Kutna Hora, Cesky Krumlov and Bohemian Switzerland. As well as an easy train ride to Berlin for a long weekend. I liked the balance of having some group activities along with free time to explore on our own. I also appreciated that TGLA provided clean, quiet and safe apartments in a great location, so I wasn't guessing on the best place to stay. TGLA's target market is affluent, retired and physically active sophisticated travelers seeking a new travel adventure which is exactly what you provided.

Our community managers were excellent, our cohort of travelers gelled beautifully, Split is a beautiful city in a beautiful country, our accommodations were excellent and all was fun and satisfying.

"Our impression of Lisbon is—wow! You've got gardens, you've got a lot concentrated in the center of town. Music on the streets, restaurants—whatever you can imagine, cable cars like you're in San Francisco. It's exciting and it's historic. And there's pastries on every corner—what could go wrong?!"

The community managers (Stefani and Mateo) made the trip worthwhile for us. We had all the information we needed to feel safe and comfortable. The activities were fun and they did their best to make sure everyone was included and got to know each other. They were fabulous.

Because TGLA delivered a very well organized interesting and rewarding experience allowing me to truly experience Caligari. Our community manger, Andrea, was simply outstanding, going above and beyond to provide assistance in anything that we requested.

Communication was great from our very first inquiry. Our arrival was smooth and someone greeted us at our apartment with a welcome basket and information. The apartment was in a great location and very nice. The community manager Tina was excellent and made all of activities, excursions and dinners run smoothly. We had great weather in April and saw so much. I especially enjoyed the combination of free time and program offerings. Our group was fun and so interesting. I think we may do this again. The difficult part will be choosing what city.

Having a local fixer makes travel extra special. Anyone can read other peoples travel blogs, but it was great to have a local contact who knows the location.

Meeting the other people in our group and enjoying the planned and unplanned activities together. Also, meeting Stefani and Mateo. What wonderful people they are.
