A lovely tour with lovely people, truly an enjoyable time on all fronts.
This trip is great for both the theater lover, and someone who just wants to see cool things in a place they’ve never been. Even if you have been there before, there’s always more things to see and explore. Thank you again for taking us on the amazing trip! It was lots of fun and I wanna go back again.

It feels like being with family. Details were all thought out and our tour director was knowledgeable, easy going, and capable of improvising/ compensating and considerate of each individual’s particular needs/ preferences. The pace and free time were well thought out. Very good restaurant selections were provided.
