    Danube River Cruise and Prague

    By: Kathy
    If you are looking for a personalized and exceptional travel experience, I highly recommend Craig Mungary from Elite Global Journeys. Our trip on the Danube River then to Prague was amazing. Craig and his team crafted an itinerary that included unique experiences we never could have done on our own. Their attention to detail was absolutely professional and thorough…from securing excellent accommodations to securing seamless transfers that made our vacation stress free and enjoyable. All the arrangements went as planned…flights, hotels, a cab transfers, and excursions. This is the third vacation we’ve had Craig put together for us. We can’t thank Craig Mungary with Elite Global Journeys enough for an unforgettable trip.

    Only the Best

    By: Dyane
    Craig is exceptionally knowledgeable about traveling. He’s been to most anywhere you can think of and knows what to do and to expect wherever you go. He knows the best hotels and finds the most wonderful private guides and tours (90% of the time on the guides. Once in a while the guide is a dud). He’s so pleasant and his staff so personable. They are actually available 24 hours a day by phone when you are on a trip.
