What Group Tour Planners Are Saying About the QC

We have a lot to brag about, but we know word-of-mouth is important.  Here are a few testimonials from the many planners that have enjoyed their visit to the Quad Cities.

“We received your tour packet of information for our August visit to the Quad Cities. I must tell you, it is the most complete, well-organized, and most helpful information that we have ever received from a CVB. Most CVB’s want the Tour Operator to do the work for them. Visit Quad Cities does the work for us! Thank you for making our job easier.”
–Pamela Risher / Owner - City Ventures Tours, Oak Park, Illinois
“Visit Quad Cities is a one-stop-shop for all my tours coming into the region. It’s great to be able to call just one person who is not limited by city limits, state lines or even the mighty Mississippi River. How I wish I could clone their services in other multi-city areas I visit all over the nation! ”
–James R. Opelt / Star Tours of Ohio, Pemberville, Ohio
“Everything was absolutely amazing. We loved every second of it! Iowa is easily in our top 10 states now - we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, the people were so nice, the scenery was gorgeous, and a much-needed change from all the buildings I see on a daily basis. Thank you all so much for your hospitality and for showing us what an amazing place Iowa is! ”
–Clayton Whitehead / CTP, CITM, Vice President - Sports Leisure Vacations, Sacramento, California
“Working with Visit Quad Cities is so simple. They make my job so much easier, they know the area, know their members and work closely with both of us to make the trip the best for me, my customer as well as their members. I bring a lot of International Agricultural groups through the Quad Cities each year and the Visit Quad Cities staff provides us with a great selection of hotels, restaurants, attractions, and technical visits that keep my groups coming back year after year! Thank you, Visit Quad Cities for all you do to help us!”
–Cameron Parker / Director of Marketing - Kaleidoscope Adventures, Orlando Florida
“We had planned two trips to the Quad Cities this year and Visit Quad Cities was there to help me with our planning. In fact, they were extremely helpful! Their suggestions are creative, and their follow-up is second to no one. One of the best I've ever worked with. Keep up the great work!”
–Jennifer Dentlinger, CTP / Star Destinations, Carroll, Iowa
“Your team was very helpful throughout the planning stage of the group, giving recommendations on the restaurant as well as providing meet and greet service for the group. Much appreciated. We have another tour confirmed for next July. Keep up the great work.”
–Gary Block / Gary Block Tours, Little Falls Minnesota
“I know when I call Visit Quad Cities that all my expectations will be met and beyond. The team goes out of their way to customize itineraries for my tours and work with their attractions and hotels to ensure our stay will be outstanding every time. I love working with them and know that whatever I may need they are only a phone call away.”
–Leo Adams, Director Group and Event Operations / Holidays on Location, Australia
“Visit Quad Cities has been a great resource in helping City Ventures prepare a multi-day overnight tour to this area. They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, pleasant, and are always available to share their expertise. They understand motorcoach groups and can shed light on the sites that will match the needs of your participants. Their request for proposals for hotels offered a wide variety of choices and was sent in a timely fashion. Visit Quad Cities also sends a fantastic summary of ‘Suggested Itineraries’ which contain great summaries of the sites and creative ideas for tours. City Ventures offers many multi-day tours to various locations in the Midwest and Visit Quad Cities is one of the best I have ever dealt with.”
–Annette Trotter, CTIS, Tour Planner / Turner Travel Inc, Terre Haute, Indiana
