TESTIMONIALS
Great trip for being exposed to many different parts of Australia in a relatively short period of time. Our tour guide Kerry was outstanding and made this an easy and fun trip despite the logistics/travel of seeing such a large country. Portugal is an amazing country and our guide Patricia was fabulous. She's lived there for 35 years so knows so much about the country. She also did an amazing job "taking care" of us. Our group was great, a lot of fun, and so caring of each other. The itinerary was excellent - we visited so many fun places. It felt like the perfect amount of time in each little town. Thank you to Sights and Soul Travel. I cannot wait to do another trip with you! -MaryLou from Ohio (Portugal 3 2024) An exceptional, well planned and executed tour of Portugal. Patricia is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. I went from the wait list to Portugal, to, a journey, finally completed with an appreciation of the country. The accommodations and meals were five stars. A PERFECT 10! Exceptionally well organized and it unfolded like a dream: A tour leader with exceptional knowledge of the country, it's people and little known facts! And somehow she was attuned to each of our special requirements. Each day was better than the one before: tours on rivers, through acres of beautiful gardens, through monasteries whose architectural features and artwork stopped our breaths; rides up hillsides with vistas of vineyards opening up at every hairpin turn; meals of exceptional quality, all accompanied by gracious service. I fail to see how any tour could top this one. "Sights and Soul Tours " is a first class organization from top to bottom, and there is no way that this tour, Portugal 3, could be improved!! We were a group of 12 along with Renata, our wonderful guide. The accommodations were superb, food was exceptional. The local guides in Zagreb ,Split and Dubrovnik were knowledgable, friendly and eager to share the history of their respective homes with us. Renata took very good care of us, she was attentive and helpful with even the smallest of questions or issues. It was another excellent trip that included top-rated accommodations, great tour guides in each city and off-the-beaten path activities that gave us a great view of Croatia. Our tour director, Renata, added so much to our understanding of the country and also was able to roll with the punches when weather was questionable. It was memorable in many ways! First time traveling with a woman's group tour and it turned out to be a fantastic experience! Lots of history to see in Greece! The food was phenomenal and each hotel seemed to be better than the previous one! Anne was very knowledgeable in helping us maneuver thru our journey! This was a trip of a lifetime! Would highly recommend this trip to others! - Lisa K. from Michigan (Greece 3, 2024) Trip was well curated with a fabulous tour director in Monika who was organized and went above and beyond to assist all. Enjoyed the centrally located hotel in Amalfi. I had a lovely time and would definitely recommend the trip. Especially loved the guide and Pompei, Herculaneum, the Archeological Museum, the trip to buffalo farm, and Paestum. That guide was THE BEST OF ALL. Going away dinner was one for the ages. Loved it! The total trip was beautiful; one I will alway remember. -Nancy S. from California (Amalfi Coast, Italy 2024) We were well cared for, places we visited were well planned, accommodations were comfortable and the food was fantastic! - Teresa H. from Minnesota (Tuscany 2024) Scotland was lovely, beautiful scenery, great accomodations, great itinerary! Eileen was great - kept us all in line :) Enjoyed meeting new friends and enjoyed their company on the trip. S&S never disappoints!! - Jane from Texas (Scotland 1, 2024) Well-planned to provide an almost total look at Scotland while experiencing very nice accommodations, well-informed guides, and the company of a friendly and supportive group. - Mary Kay from Texas (Scotland 1, 2024) I could not have chosen a better tour group for this adventure. The accommodations were first class and lovely. The group of women were delightful and a good mix. The restaurants that were chosen - delicious! I felt the itinerary was very comprehensive giving all of us a real taste of Portugal in the various cities. My only suggestion would be one free afternoon that we could explore on our own and go shopping or just sit at a cafe and people watch! Our guide, Patricia, was not only a wonderful and educated guide, she is a beautiful soul. Her love for history and Portugal was very evident. I have traveled all over the world with different guides and can attest to the fact that Patricia is one of the best! We just adored her. I hope to join another Sight and Soul tour in the near future and would highly recommend this tour company. - Susan from California (Portugal 2, 2024) Loved every minute of this trip - the hotels, the sites, the food. Best of all was an amazing director - Marta. She made us feel so comfortable and cared for. - Joan from New York (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024) The Holland trip exceeded my expectations. S&S does a wonderful job of selecting hotels, restaurants and activities to satisfy a variety of tastes. The primary guide - Marta - was a delight and the local guides were knowledgeable and friendly. It's very well organized. I can highly recommend this trip. Kudos all around. - Kelly from Virginia (Holland and Belgium 1, 2024) Great trip, great meals, lovely hotel accommodations….Marta is the best of the best! I will continue to use your fine organization for my future trips! Thank you! - Francine from Arizona (Australia 2024) It was a great trip. Marta, our leader, was the absolute best! She did an outstanding job making sure every aspect of the trip was perfect. The hotels and food were good, and the flowers in Amsterdam and Belgium were ever better than I could have imagined. I will definitely travel with Sights and Soul again. - Gwen from Arkansas (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024) This was my first trip with Sights and Souls and I can't wait for the next one! I went as a solo, knowing no one in the group, and returned with 15 new friends who also love to travel. The tulips at Keukenhof and chocolate making in Bruge are some of my favorite memories. I can't say enough good things about our guide, Marta. I hope to travel with her again! - Nancy from Texas (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024) I had a wonderful trip with a great group of women. The timing was perfect to see the magnificent gardens and fields of tulips in bloom. Chocolate making in Belgium was fun and tasty. I can't say enough about Sights and Soul travel for the itinerary, hotels and restaurants chosen. Our tour director, Marta was amazing and fun to be around as she always went above and beyond for everyone. - Linda from Wisconsin (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024) I had a wonderful time. The tour leader Marta was excellent, she went above and beyond. Highly recommend this trip. - Tina from Illinois (Holland & Belgium 1, 2024) The trip was fantastic! A once in a lifetime adventure. The itinerary was wonderful as well as the food and the accommodations. My only complaint would be that the evening dinners sometimes lasted 3 hours and that took a toll on the travelers that wanted to relax after a day of sightseeing. Too many dinners that extended too long into the evening. Otherwise, I have no complaints. I had a wonderful trip. Everything was first class and our tour guide Marta was so very helpful and knowledgeable. This won’t be my last tour with Sights and Soul. - Kathy from Washington (Australia 2024) This was a wonderful trip. I had never been on a group travel trip and I was extremely pleased with how it all went. I met great travel partners and our travel leader, Anne Thompson, was a dream leader. I couldn't have asked for a better first time group travel experience. Good food, good accommodations and wonderful experiences. I look forward to taking more trips through Sight and Soul!! - Marilyn from Colorado (Greece 1 2024) Beautiful scenery, wonderful accommodations and great food describes this Greece trip. From wine tasting to cooking, I learned so much about the Greek culture. The catamaran was fun and relaxing in the sun along with a wonderful meal cooked before our eyes. Santorini and Crete provided so many picture postcard scenes. Sights and Soul goes above and beyond providing an excellent itinerary along with a knowledgeable tour guide. One of my best trips ever! - Fran from Wisconsin (Greece 1 2024) Breathtaking! Everything I hoped it would be. - Sabrina from Washington, DC (Croatia 2024) The tour director, Marina, was beyond fabulous. The tour itself was well organized with a balance of group activities and free time. The hotels were absolutely top shelf and the country is beautiful. It was a wonderful time from start to finish - Judy from Connecticut (Croatia 2024) It was a very enjoyable tour - great accommodations, fabulous food, and a wonderful exploration of London, Bath and the beautiful Cotswolds. Our guide Lisa Francois was superb on all accounts! We had a great time and learned so much about the history of England. The women were all fabulous, as was the food! The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks Sights and Soul for a great experience. I did have to rest up quite a bit when I got back! (: - Lisa from California (England 2024) Croatia is a tour for those who want to see charming towns and impressive cities, those who want to see a stunning nature, experience wonderful lodgings and swim in the clearest sea water you want to see. Marina, the country’s born tour director, is an exceptional leader. But be prepared for a lot of walking! - Alena from California (Croatia 2024) This entire tour was fantastic! The accommodations were excellent. We saw and experienced so many wonderful places. Our tour guide, Lisa, is the best! She was always helpful, informative and available! Our local guides were amazing! They were a wealth of information! And we had 9 days of perfect weather!! So glad I joined this tour! - Barbara from Florida (England 2024) I so enjoyed this Greece experience. It was a dream come true for me as this was a retirement gift to myself. All the women on the group were fun to hang out with and begin new friendships. We really had a great group. The resorts we stayed at on Santorini and Crete were exceptional and beautiful, I immediately fell in love with the views of the Mediterranean sea. I felt so pampered. Enjoyed visiting some of the towns, ancient ruins and we had great tour guides wherever we went. The catamaran sailing trip and the Greek cooking class were my favorite activities. As an art history major being able to see all the ancient ruins was incredible. I am not a big shopper on trips so less shopping time allowed and more time to enjoy the resorts would have been preferable. I am recommending this trip to everyone I know. Thanks. Please post this on your site to encourage more women to do this trip Overall, the tour was amazing with all the beautiful scenery and the activities such as fjord cruises, dog sledding, reindeer sledding, time with the Sami people, and seeing the Northern Lights. I am so glad I did this tour! Well organized, a variety of activities and terrific tour guides. Very good selection of museums and restaurants. Enough free time to shop and walk around. The hotel in Bruges was spectacular. I'll be returning to S&S. There were so many wonderful moments, sights, and tours - that I don't have the time to mention! This entire tour was amazing, and I would do it all over again. I had the best experience with your travel company from signing up to heading home. I haven't picked a destination, but I will definitely tour with Sights and Soul Travels again. Love the detailed information, the boutique hotels and locations, and the lunch and/or dinners provided were amazing! Best tour I have ever taken. I have cruised and traveled with (numerous tour companies, names omitted). The Sights and Soul tour of Portugal was far superior to all. Morocco was magical and my favorite country visited to date. This is my second tour with Sights and Soul, and it was another amazing experience! The tour leader, the wonderful women travelers, and lastly Morocco itself being so diverse created an amazing experience with wonderful memories and friendships for a lifetime! Everything was wonderful about this trip! Being in the Sahara Desert and breaking the Ramadan fast with a family in Fes was pretty special. For decades I've traveled the world with family and friends. Now an older solo traveler, I've had mixed experiences with tour companies. Often the itinerary was exactly what I wanted, but the groups were mainly couples, families or friends. I'm grateful to the friend who recommended Sights & Soul. The tours include destinations on my bucket list, they are well organized with personable and knowledgeable tour directors and, for the most part, the fellow travelers are delightful. I'm looking forward to future trips with S&S. I loved our Bali tour! I am always interested to learn about different cultures and lifestyles. I have found that S&S adds elegant details, like spa days and luxury hotel rooms, that make the trip into a grand adventure! It was great to visit the pyramids and ride the camels. The optional hot air balloon ride was fantastic! I was nervous about visiting the Middle East but I always felt safe and appreciated the Tour Director and the local travel agency looking out for us. The hotels and the Nile cruise were wonderful. I think SST did an amazing job with this tour. From being met at the airport upon arrival to being taken back to the airport at the end of the tour, we had “handlers”. Traveling with Sights and Soul is a dream come true. We packed in as much as you possibly could on the Australian tour and on my part it was so easy - just get yourself to the airport and the company takes over from there. I especially like having transportation provided from place to place. All the hotels we stayed at were very nice, clean, comfortable, and right in the middle of everything we wanted to see. And there's often some part of the tour that I would never have thought of doing on my own. Another huge plus is the new friends I've met on my tours with S & S. The scenery throughout New Zealand was stunning - the glacial lakes, snow-capped mountains, fiords, waterfalls, and endless green fields with sheep. I especially enjoyed Queenstown - the shops, the boat rides, the gardens, the lake and mountains. Visiting Hobbiton was another highlight - it was so detailed and there were many more Hobbit holes than I was expecting. Overall, another great experience with Sights and Souls. I look forward to traveling with you again and have told many friends about you. The castles daytrip, being in the snow which created a magical setting. I do not get to experience snow often. As usual, Sights and Soul handled everything, took care of everyone, and provided diverse experiences. It was great. I have a couple more trips on my bucket list before I slow down a bit. I wouldn't travel with anyone other than S&S. I found the South Africa 2 Tour to be fantastic. Visiting Africa has been on my bucket list since I was a child. The tour was inclusive of several areas including Cape Town, Zimbabwe/Botswana and Kapama Game Preserve. Experiencing the warmth of the people in Africa and learning about the history and culture were high points. Cooking in a local home was a wonderful experience. Victoria Falls and the safari in Chobe National Park were stunning. The Game Drives at Kapama were truly magical! We were able to see the big five and learn about the animals and the efforts to protect them. We were sooo close, even able to hear the breathing of the lions! The elephant herds were magnificent! Meeting and traveling with a group of like minded women added to the experience, our group was kind and compassionate, enjoying each other's company and sharing travel and life experiences. I have several other trips I will take with Sights and Soul Travels! The trip was outstanding. A very different culture that was fully enhanced by our guide Chan. Food was sooo good. Always count on S& S to make adjustments and fix glitches seamlessly. Finally got my sister to come on a trip so she could see how great it is to travel this way. She was hooked. The tour was terrific! Lisbon and Porto were beautiful areas. I loved the people on the tour - we had a wonderful group of women. The local guides really made the difference. Cahn and Choo were amazing. Both gave us great insights into the places we visited, as well as their perspectives on their countries. Overall, we stayed in wonderful accommodations and got to take part in unique experiences like visiting Mr. Vinh's home and the motorbike tour. Even the last-minute diversion to Hoa Lu to avoid the typhoon was a pleasant surprise; having Sights and Soul pay for our massages because rain dampened our plans was an awesome bonus. I really liked Sights and Soul's attention to detail on this particular tour. I did both the Australia and New Zealand tours and enjoyed them immensely. The tours hit the highlights of both countries. We are always “front of the line” and every experience is just a little bit more special than the average tourist. When there was a “hitch” (bad weather for a flight), it is wonderful to relax and let S&S take care of the changes and still have a great day. The local guides are the best, especially our bus driver in New Zealand. The restaurants were outstanding for location and experience, even if you’re not a foodie! The ladies on the tour were great—- there’s a friend for everyone if you’re a solo traveller! Loved it. Incredible mix of activity and down time, in such a beautiful part of the world. Excellent tour!!! One of the best tour groups, and I've traveled with several others. Venice and Lake Como have been on my bucket list for a long time. This was a trip of a lifetime. Each day brought incredible views. The beauty of Italy surrounds you. Extraordinary sights and food. Our dinners were delicious. Great group of ladies! Thank you for an amazing, organized and well-planned vacation. I really enjoyed traveling to Australia - this trip exceeded my expectations in many ways. The country is beautiful and the people are so warm and welcoming. From Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef, and lastly, Sydney, we had so many unique and wonderful experiences during this trip. Thanks to everyone at Sights and Soul for everything you do before, during, and after our trips - you're the best!!! This was a great tour that touched on everything I wanted to see in Australia. I had a wonderful time and only wish to have spent more time in Cairns and Sydney, especially Cairns. I know the tour lasted about as much time as I had, but I would have liked to spend time in a pub getting to know the locals! However, this was a well-crafted tour, touching on everything I was interested in seeing and more that I didn't know about. Our tour guides were chatty and interesting and I really felt like my money was used on their experience, travel amenities and great food. I had a good time throughout the experience and was happy to have an experienced tour director along to deal with the travel ups and downs. The ladies on the tour were all amenable, so no clashing personalities, which was also great. Excellent tour. Very well planned and kept us going. We saw so much. The special things like one free drink with each meal, paying for extra luggage, $10 credit on the plane etc. was really nice. I felt very well taken care of throughout. Lovely hotels, excellent restaurants, comfortable transportation. Too many “best” experiences! The Isle of Ischia is first, jumping in the Tyrrhenian Sea, scratching the head of a cow water buffalo, viewing the beach EVERY day from either our Naples or Amalfi hotels, participating in a cooking class, enjoying the city of Naples from the eyes of Theresa, seeing Pompeii, and standing in a 2,500 year old Greek Temple. Absolutely phenomenal organization of our trip, not too overwhelming with day trips and sights to see. I greatly appreciated the notebook! Keep up the superb work! I just want you to know that I had a wonderful time visiting Portugal with Sights and Soul Travels. I made new friends, had many, many laughs while enjoying the sights. Patricia was wonderful. She is so knowledgeable and accommodating as well as the ultimate professional. I look forward to joining Sights and Souls on future trips! It was GRAND, the tour, the women, the layered majesty of Portugal and Patricia....an amazing and extraordinary guide and human. It was my 2nd journey ith S&S, hope to many more!! This trip was my first with Sights and Soul, but definitely will not be my last. All aspects were wonderful. Clearly, Renata set the tone, made everyone so comfortable and handled anything out of the ordinary with grace and efficiency. We knew that we were in expert hands. How lucky we were to have her as our leader. In addition, the group of women were delightful. Thanks for the memories. The trip to Greece was an amazing immersion in the history, culture and daily life of the country. The trip was a combination of key historical must-sees as well as relaxing unique experiences such as a cooking class and a private catamaran. My opinion of the tour can be quoted. Thanks for a great trip. I know all the effort that goes into crafting and making these trips happen. You are all very much appreciated. Excellent experience from start to finish! Hotels and food were simply terrific. Enjoyed everything and saw all the key sights! Highly recommend!! Overall excellent. Great hotels and great restaurants. Never felt I was being “nickled and dimed” by S&S. I chose this tour partially because it was more vacation oriented rather than heavy duty sightseeing and my expectations were met! I have enjoyed every tour that I have been on. I also like the fact that you take feedback seriously and adjust tours when possible. This is a well-run tour business. Being in Greece was an overwhelming experience. The views were incredibly beautiful and the people were very kind. We got a real sense of Greek culture and history. The Bali trip is a wonderful experience. The island is beautiful and the people are incredible-so very friendly and gracious. The itinerary is jam packed with temples, museums, dance performances, snorkeling, and more. Even had an added bonus of an earthquake! The Tanzania tour was epic. I still can't believe I went on safari and I know I'll never forget it. It was very nice to have everything planned, organized and booked ahead of time. I just had to show up and enjoy. I was overjoyed to travel with my mom and my sister, and it was wonderful to get to know the other women on the tour as well. The small group and the carefully selected safari guides and tour companies made all the difference. We saw The Big 5 and close to 60 species of animals, birds, and fish. We were served fantastic meals and tried authentic Tanzanian dishes. Our lodging was 5-star, the people we met were joyful and welcoming, and I learned so much. I'll cherish my memories and my photos forever. - Chelsea from Texas The tour was fabulous. The restaurants were delicious, the hotels were very very nice, and the sites and towns we toured were perfect. And the views will be remembered for a life time. - Ann from North Carolina Highly, highly recommend. I never really heard people talk about traveling to Switzerland, and I was intrigued by all the activities on the S&S tour description. Now Switzerland is one of my all time favorite tours and I tell everyone to go there! I want to go back and do more hiking! - Mary from Illinois It was a great tour, and I learned so much. We also had a great time and saw many lovely sights, the beautiful cities, countryside, and learned about the history of the Baltic nations. - Jane from Texas An excellent overview of the three Baltic nations. This tour hit all the highlights. The guides were great sources of information about history and politics. The best experience during the tour was hearing from the city guides about the rebuilding of their society post-Soviet era. One major reason I took this tour was to learn about how the people rebuilt after 1993. The guides in all three cities were very open about their experiences under Soviet occupation and were willing to answer all our questions. - Patricia from California The tour of Switzerland was outstanding. Everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and held to a high standard. I enjoyed our Leader Marina and the group participants as much as the beautiful sights of Switzerland. I would not hesitate to travel again with Sights and Soul tours and have signed up for several trips in the coming year. I enjoyed every aspect of the tour -- the many train rides, the beautiful hotels, the great food--and the wonderful folks I traveled with. I look forward to my next trip with Sights and Soul Tours. - Gwendolyn from Arkansas I loved everything about the tour! The beautiful waterfalls were probably my favorite thing. Iceland is unlike anything I have experienced before, otherworldly, different landscapes at every turn. The food, activities and accommodations were excellent! It was interesting that there was a volcanic eruption while we were there. - Debbie from Tennessee This tour is amazing including the tour leader and all the exciting stops we made exploring Iceland. All the ladies on this tour were fantastic along with all the great adventures each and every day. Keep up the great work, Sights and Soul. - Robin from Arizona I have taken a lot of tours with Sights and Soul, but this one was special because my sister also joined me. We both enjoyed both Krakow and Warsaw, the gourmet food experiences, the history and the countryside. There were so many special experiences, it will take me a while to absorb all that we have seen and learned. - Joanne from Missouri I am looking forward to continue with my traveling "around the world adventure" with Sights and Soul, definitely. Excellent quality, great taste choosing places and activities.... 100%. - Alicia from California I loved this tour with its myriad of transportation types. Loved taking the trains around the country vs being on a bus. Gondolas, cog rails, funiculars - what fun. Spending four days in Wengen was the best! It proved a perfect base for our activities in that area. Thank you for the Maya Caprice. The staff at that hotel was the best! And the views from the rooms could not be beat. All that beautiful scenery. I especially liked hiking the trails and soaking in all that beauty. The Glacier Express gave me a chance to experience the scenery at a slower pace vs watching it zip by past a bus window. - Patricia from California I had many brilliant experiences while visiting Scotland: visiting the highlands, the lakes, history lesson on the battlefield, the wonderful Scottish people with that brogue and delightful sense of humor, food and drinks, and castles. Absolutely brilliant! - Jelena from Delaware Excellent! I LOVED Poland. So beautiful, historical, interesting. I really admire the country for what the people have endured. Having Polish leader and guides totally did it for me! I was very glad that I took some advantage of reading up/ movies that were suggested for trip prep. - Becky from Iowa I loved this trip. The group of women was great, and I was impressed with the diversity of Croatia. I loved Dubrovnik and the trip to Hvar island. Swimming in the Adriatic was pretty cool, too, and we had dolphins swimming besides the boat! - Karen from New Hampshire I was originally disappointed about the places we couldn’t visit due to the coronation but the replacements were wonderful. I would keep the secret garden tour in the agenda! - Orma from Pennsylvania The whole tour from start to finish was the best experience! But the highlights were the tours of the Castles, the Pont du Garde, the light show in Baux, the cooking class in a private villa, and the picnic that ended up in the vintner's cellar because of the Mistral winds. - Robbie from British Columbia France was a great tour. I had been to Paris briefly several years ago but learned so much more on this trip. I especially loved visiting Provence. The itinerary was varied and kept my interest. The restaurant choices gave a good flavor of the country and the quality of meals was excellent. Accommodations were perfect. There was enough free time for me to explore on my own but not so much that I was at loose ends. France was my 6th tour with Sights & Soul. There has been a different Tour Director for each tour and I loved them all. All were professional and well-versed in group dynamics. On each tour I appreciated personal attention and consideration of group needs/wants. I have high expectations now for future tour directors. - Patricia from California Oh my goodness! So many wonderful sights, smells and sounds! The rainbow of flowers, the scent of chocolate, and the bells of so many churches ... not to mention the continuous laughter of the ladies in our group! There isn't one experience -- there were to many to count! From the first night on our dinner canal cruise straight to the end in Bruges. It was a great tour with an amazing group of women! - Kermala from Michigan I was so impressed with the trip itinerary: the restaurants were great as were the hotels. The group of women made the trip- so welcoming and I feel any of them could be a friend. The tour had everything I was looking for: seeing the ancient historical sites as well as the natural beauty of Santorini and Crete. - Judy from Pennsylvania Sights and Soul does a great job of giving a wonderful experience of a country. It's great meeting other women and having a small group experience. I've recommended you to many people and one of my travel companions has also signed up with one of her friends for another tour of yours. - Barbara from Texas The tour of Portugal was fantastic from start to finish. Our tour guide, Patricia, shared her extensive knowledge, passion, and love for Portugal and its people. She made the history come alive. From the tour of Lisbon to medieval cities, to vineyards and beautiful Porto, I don't see how it could have been any better. As always, it was a wonderful group of women to travel with. It amazes me how quickly we bond on these trips. I'll treasure my memories of Portugal. - Connie from Massachusetts I have arrived to Portugal with a little knowledge of the country and left impressed by its beauty and achievements. The itinerary was excellent, including the cities and locations that had to be seen and could have been enjoyed by anyone. All the historical sight were impressive. Once again, as I had experienced on previous tours with S&S , the hotels and restaurants were carefully chosen for their location and quality. The transportation throughout the country was efficient and comfortable. Overall, I liked the Portugal tour with S&S and found it well worth it. - Alena from California I absolutely loved the flower market and the Keukenhof Gardens the most. Even though it was raining, Kinderijk was also fabulous. But then, Bruges was a wonderful spot to spend time, as well. It was an excellent tour. - Ellen from Texas Nothing is more beautiful than Holland and Belgium in April. My tour covered all of the iconic experiences including beautiful gardens, incredible museums and glimpses into the local cultures. I loved everything about my tour but especially the opportunity to share it with such a fantastic group of women. - Diane from Oklahoma The trip to Spain was extraordinary. Malaga, Madrid, and Barcelona were incredibly beautiful cities that beckoned with their gorgeous architecture, amazing restaurants and fascinating shopping, while Girona and Tossa de Mar were charming smaller towns. Girona harkened back to medieval times; indeed, parts of Game of Thrones were filmed there. Tossa de Mar, a delightful seaside village, offered panoramic views of the sea, beaches, and lovely shops and restaurants. Overall, the tour offered beautiful sights and experiences of Spain, as well as the companionship of a wonderful group of fellow travelers who were all supportive, friendly and fun. This was my first trip with S&S and I can't wait for my next - to Greece. - Tressa from Rhode Island Morocco has been on my go to list for many years and Sights and Soul made it happen. From the Atlantic to the edge of the Sahara, the landscape is diverse and gorgeous. The food was amazing and the group of women was outstanding. Thank you to Anne for her fabulous leadership and our sweet Moroccan guide Abdell for making this another trip of a lifetime! - Stephanie from Vancouver This was my first tour with Sights and Soul. It was absolutely incredible in every way. Super well organized and the tour director and guide were exceptional. Our bus driver was a master and on those roads it was evident. We saw so many(!!!!) fantastic and beautiful places and the magnificently knowledgeable guide brought history to life for us. Every single day was full of adventures from Masada to our delicious lunch with our Druze lady host to Ben Shiet to the Knesset to the Israeli woman screenwriter. Hotels were completely wonderful. Food was superb. Glad we walked a bit so I didn’t gain bc I was eating like a glutton! I just cannot say enough positive about this trip! Kudos to all involved! Thank you thank you thank you!!! - Carol from West Virginia I was very impressed with my first Sights and Soul Tour to South Africa. The communication prior to the trip, tour guide, quality of the women, tour experiences, accommodations, and financial value were top notch! I would highly recommend to any woman wanting to travel with this company. Can't wait for my next trip with Sights and Soul! - Yvonne from Arizona This particular tour is a unique, once in a lifetime, event. It differs from many of the other tours that S&S offers with the focus on the safaris. The itinerary was excellent, though not sure if needed three vineyards. The food generally was very good. The hotels were exceptional. All the people who we met and interacted with were warm, friendly and knowledgeable. - Anne from New Jersey A woman traveler said it well. She said every new S&S trip was a trip of a lifetime for her. I feel the same way too. I completely enjoyed the trip to Chile and Eastern Island. From tasting the delicious Chilean cuisines, seeing so many spectacular natural wonders and finally meeting the moai status in Eastern Island, it made me feel so happy. I feel humble to see the largest ceremonial structure and monument in Ahu Tongariki and learning their history of being carved by the Rapa Nui people on Rapa Nui. The whole experience was unreal. I am still processing it. - Jan from Minnesota S & S tours are well organized, accommodations and meals are excellent, a good balance of planned activity and free time. The local guides enhance the experiences and are usually outstanding. - Jill from Wisconsin Hot Springs pools. Loved them. Seeing animals in the wild. Enjoying some really tasty meals. Interesting tours, beautiful natural country. Loved the coffee and chocolate tours. Loved getting to drink directly from a coconut cut from the forest. Being in nature for me is always a special treat. - Sharon from Illinois I just completed my first solo women's trip. I decided to travel with Sights and Soul Travels to Costa Rica in January due to the positive reviews. An excellent decision! Amazing sights, we had our WONDERFUL tour director Marina, tasty beautiful food and I met many incredible, well traveled, engaging women. We shared many stories and laughs. I am planning my next trip with Sights and Soul Travel. - Lois from Pennsylvania I've been traveling with Sights and Soul for 7 years now and have loved every single place they've taken me. They make international travel easy, with excellent accommodations, well-planned schedules, and local transportation included. I've tried another tour company and was VERY disappointed in that trip, both with the service from the company and with their tour guide. I've met a lot of other women on these tours who love to travel - there are always interesting conversations about different destinations. I really love the fact that these tours aren't geared for COUPLES. The small group size is also a major plus in my opinion. Sights and Soul guides know their stuff and are eager to share their love of new places with the clients. A word of warning, though - tours sell out FAST, make up your mind before they go live and sign up right away! - Diane from Iowa Yes, Sights and Souls is a fabulous touring agency. All I had to do was show up at airport, the rest was handled! Both the local and S&S tour leader worked seamlessly together so we had to do nothing but enjoy!!! - Nanci from North Carolina The entire Egypt tour was fabulous. A trip of a lifetime. I like traveling in an all women group. Having most of the tour/meals set up for us is great. S and S sets up really nice accommodations for us. - Orma from Pennsylvania This tour (Egypt) was fantastic. Seeing the pyramids in Giza was a life long dream. I really enjoy traveling with S&S. They provide great accommodations and knowledgeable tour leaders. Having transportation to your hotel upon arrival and transportation to the airport for your trip home greatly reduces the travel stress. Keep up the good work! Your company has great communication to the travelers prior to the trip. - Andrea from New Jersey The entire experience was spectacular but my favorite memories will be staying in Kapama Southern Camp and going on the game drives. We saw all of the "Big 5" and so much more. The drivers and trackers were spectacular as well as the rest of the staff at Kapama including the Spa. The last day, I did the optional visit to the Elephant Rescue and was able to feed and touch the beautiful animals. I really enjoyed the sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. Victoria Falls was beyond words especially taking the optional helicopter ride over the Falls. Seeing the Penguins on Boulder Beach was amazing! Overall, the tour was the most exciting trip I have ever taken and the memories will last a lifetime. - Debbie from Tennessee S&S is special. You work hard to create unique adventures and attract a wonderful group of ladies. I've made lifelong friends through my travels with S&S. - Anne from New Jersey This was my 2nd trip with Sights and Soul. I enjoyed both tours very much. I knew few ladies on my Costa Rica tour but didn’t know any on the Greece Tour. And yet I found everyone very warm, welcoming, friendly and helpful which made the trip very enjoyable. - Usha from Illinois I am just back from the Croatia trip and wanted to let you know how fabulous it was! We saw very interesting sights, had fun, enjoyed learning about the area, had boat rides, ate well, and met wonderful people. The weather was also perfect. - Anne from North Carolina I love these tours. I love not having to change hotels every night. I love that activities are all included. I love the delicious meals and beautiful hotels, but most of all I enjoy all the wonderful ladies who sign up for these tours. - Peggy from California The Ireland tour included the highlights of the country plus some that were new to me but fascinating (Newgrange). I especially enjoyed the Riverdance performance in Dublin and the trip to the Aran Islands. But Killarney was so beautiful as well. The individual guides that we had were great, especially Donal in Dublin, so informative and entertaining. The ladies that did our tours at Newgrange were outstanding. Our bus driver, Sean, was very dedicated to taking care of us! Thank you for organizing a great tour that was relaxing and fun with a great group of ladies. - Barbara from Alberta, Canada The tours I’ve taken with Sights and Soul Travels have been fantastic! The hotels are always more than comfortable and conveniently located. Transportation to everything you want to see is smooth and the tour director will quickly take care of any problems that may arise. On every tour I’ve taken, there are places and things I would never have thought to include. I’ve been on 5 tours and have 3 more booked, so obviously – I love this company! - Diane from Iowa I really enjoyed everything about it, the castles, the cruise on Loch Ness, the Orkneys, Culloden Battlefield, hotels, meals and the new relationships I made along the way. SST is very professional, and I have really appreciated the communication before, during and after the tour. This top notch team that does everything possible to ensure a great travel experience. I look forward to many more tours with SST. - Debra from Tennessee The best part of the tour was meeting and getting to know the other women on the tour. The bus was very comfortable. There were so many wonderful experiences but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the visit to Parliament and Westminster. But experiencing afternoon tea (twice) was also fantastic. So many wonderful experiences packed into 8 wonderful days. - Sandra from California The first night in Athens, we had dinner at one of the most scenic restaurants I have ever experienced. We were 14 women, plus the new-to-me leader, Anne, on an outdoor terrace looking directly at a dramatically lit Parthenon and a full moon. It was beyond any picture, any dream. The group just clicked, like women can do, and even Anne said that she could tell already we were a great group. And we were from that night on. Oh, and the food was fabulous, too! - Wendy from North Carolina This was such an amazing experience!! Great itinerary, accommodations and restaurants. Thank you all who helped put this together I will be eternally grateful for the experience! - Rebecca from New York This was my first trip with Sights and Soul after several years of traveling with other groups. I was very impressed with the overall quality of the trip. The accommodations and meals were topnotch. The guides in all the cities were very knowledgeable and shared pride in their area. - Patricia from California Our journey to Holland and Belgium was BEYOND anything I could have hoped for!! Marina was a smiling, whirling GEM of a leader and person! Every chapter of the amazing 9 days was splendidly curated with superb guides, DIVINE eateries and gob-smacking history, architecture and all that is magnificent about that part of Europe. I feel rejuvenated and most fortunate to have taken the journey with so many neat gals with Sights and Soul. - Lynn from Maine I truly have enjoyed each of the tours I have taken with S&S. The accommodations are excellent, the Tour Directors are excellent, the food is excellent and the people I have traveled with have been excellent. I look forward to traveling with S&S in the future. - Beverly from Illinois Chile is a great trip, such an interesting country. I saw my first iceberg, first glacier, first fjord, first ventricular clouds in Patagonia plus the Atacama Desert is like a trip to Mars, so very interesting. Chile has fabulous wines and the food is good, the people are kind and welcoming. There is zero crime in Patagonia and the Atacama areas. - Pat from Texas I thought the tour as a whole was wonderful. There were so many awesome activities and everyone was so nice. The food was wonderful. Great tour leader, driver and local guides. Highly recommend S&S to anyone looking for a high-quality tour. - Melanie from Texas Best tour I have ever been on in my life! Raf, the Egyptologist, was absolutely superb. Very, very knowledgeable. Wonderful sense of humor. I am a college professor, and if he were at my university, he would win outstanding professor every year. - Kathy from Texas Everything was great, loved the land excursions in the Galapagos. The last day was fabulous, sea lions, boobies, penguins, everything up close. Enjoyed our tour of Quito at the start of the trip, too. Sights and Soul provides the best in small group travel – I am constantly amazed at the lovely accommodations as well as excellent cuisine. Great bang for the buck. - Marcia from Tennessee I enjoy the Sights and Souls tours – there is a lot packed into a day. Accommodations are always excellent and well located. Tour guides in the cities and sights visited are top notch and well informed. Just a pleasant, easy way to travel – especially when traveling solo. - Sherry from Kansas The tours to Egypt and Jordan were fantastic! Marta was a great tour director, as always. The Egyptian guide was very knowledgeable and made history so easy to understand. Petra and Wadi Rum in Jordan are a must-see. Every day was a new and interesting experience. Sights and Soul always manages to find the best of everything for a tour! - Barbara from Alberta Egypt by far, surpassed anything I could have imagined. So many excellent experiences – riding a camel in front of the pyramids, hot air balloon (optional trip) over the Valley of the Kings at dawn, sailing down the Nile, seeing the hieroglyphics and tombs, and enjoying the laughs & sights with the other women. The first excitement was arriving at our wonderful hotel the first night and looking up and seeing the Pyramids from hotel. That will be locked in as a forever memory. The details of the daily tours and hotels selected quickly exceeded my expectations (you could see the pyramids from our hotel) and I have always been known to set the bar high. In addition, women that I have met during my travels have become fast friends. It makes you so anxious to book your next adventure. - Valarie from California This was an absolutely fabulous tour. It was packed with activities. There is so much to see that every day was really busy and full. The group was incredibly cohesive and fun. Marta was a terrific Tour Director. The hotels were fabulous. The Nile cruise was wonderful. There was a really good mix of historical sites, museums, cultural sites, shopping, dining, and down time. - Adrianne from Florida There are several experiences that I thought were absolutely amazing. Hot air balloon ride, Nile cruise, riding in the back of the truck in the Wadi Rum. I was so very happy to experience every one of them. Also, Rafat, our Egyptologist, was simply amazing! He helped make the trip as awesome as it was. - Brandy from Oklahoma The tours were extremely well planned. Each day had different and memorable experiences. I enjoyed every minute without exception! I have taken many tours with other companies, but Sights and Soul Travels has demonstrated a superior level of quality. The attention to detail and concern for travelers is outstanding. The sights, history, culture, activities and company made this trip a memorable and fantastic experience. - Kerry from New York My thanks to all of you who made this trip possible...it was wonderful! - Marie from Illinois Once again, S&S designed a tour which did not disappoint. We have seen the highlights of Sicily, we have learned from knowledgeable tour guides and felt the spirit of this beautiful land. The camaraderie in the entire group and with Angela greatly contributed to the extraordinary trip mood. S&S could not find more pleasant, kind and dedicated tour director than Angela and one can’t help to be fond of her. I will cherish the memories. - Alena from California The trip was fabulous, the accommodations were great. The tours were well organized and informative. The local guides were very knowledgeable and so pleasant and friendly. Our exit travel was so well executed and my bags all made it. The comments would not be complete of course without mentioning Angela, she is absolutely phenomenal!! From her personality, her knowledge, her genuine caring and compassion she is the gold standard. She absolutely made the tour all that it could be!! Last but not least, the ladies of the tour were so wonderful, and having a smaller group was amazing!! I enjoyed every day with these funny adventurous women. Thanks again for the way Sights and Souls operates. - Priscilla from Florida This tour surpassed my expectations. The women who choose to travel with an all women’s group are independent, adventurous women with varied life experiences. I didn’t realize that traveling with women would enhance my enjoyment of a trip the way it did. - Pat from Texas Absolutely amazing! France is a delight for the senses: magnificent food, wine, and scenery. I would check it off my bucket list but plan on revisiting Provence. C’est tres bon!!! - Patricia from Virginia I’ve loved every S&S tour I’ve been on. The tour directors have all been great. The guides are the absolute best, knowledgeable and approachable. The hotels are always very nice. Everything is carefully planned, thought out and makes traveling with you all a breeze. - Mary from North Carolina Couldn’t wait for another opportunity to travel with this group and so glad Greece was open. Also, all of our local guides were wonderful. Very professional and knowledgeable. This is one of the best tour companies I’ve ever toured with!! Well organized, great tour directors, great to meet such interesting and fun women, great sights and places with great soul. – Jane from Texas Experiencing Norway’s breathtaking beauty exceeded expectations. From the delightful cities of Bergen and Oslo to the Fjords and mountains, to the friendly people who shared their pride in their country, and of course the snowy northern part of the world, it was a great tour. - Jill from Wisconsin I loved Costa Rica! I've been there before, and this tour was so much more enjoyable. It included nature walks and adventures like zip lining, but also comfortable resort-like hotels with pools to relax in. I appreciate the wonderful hotels and restaurants you find for us as well as the wide variety of activities. – Kathy from Ohio This was a fabulous trip! The people in Costa Rica are very friendly and go out of their way to please you. Food was fabulous! Very happy with Sights and Soul. So glad I did this trip! One of my top 5 trips so far! – Lynn from Ohio Loved the variety of sights, cities and countryside. Mr. Pat is the best tour guide ever. He gave us all a white rose because it was Valentine’s Day. I hope he is paid triple his wage. - Mary from Iowa It was an excellent tour. To see that much of Chile in a short period of time was wonderful. It is such a big and beautiful country. The people are so warm. - Kathy from Wisconsin Simply, my best trip to date. The chance to experience a completely new culture of Thailand, an area of the world I had no real experience with was wonderful. I felt safe and well protected so that I was able to appreciate the new environment and experiences fully. Laos, Luang Prabang was an amazing contrast to Bangkok, I am so glad I did this portion of the trip. It enabled a perspective that was necessary to compare the political and economic climate, and Mr Pom, reflected a different type of existence in a Communist country. Very engaging and thought provoking. - Laurie from Pennsylvania The South African and Zimbabwe tours are definitely the trip of a lifetime for me. Being able to see the animals up close, got to enjoy the moment in the nature, got the chance to taste the South African foods and saw the South African sunsets and met the South African are the highlights of these tours for me. The tours were well-organized as usual. The local tour guide in Cape Town was exceptional. Accommodations and food were first class. I loved every moment I was there. - Janifer from Minnesota The trip was amazing, from the itinerary to the activities to the people, including fellow tourists, local guide, bus driver, and of course, Kerry. I LOVED the itinerary, especially how we started the tour in Jerusalem where the history of the country seemed to begin. The sights were interesting and presented by an accomplished tour guide. Great, comprehensive, well integration of Judaism, Christianity, and Muslim religions. – Nancy from California I appreciated the comprehensive material that was offered as travel neared. For the new traveler, it’s most helpful; for the experienced traveler, it’s a helpful reminder. Actually, for past travels, I prepared personal packing guidelines, conversion tables and preparation time lines so I was very impressed to receive the binder and ongoing emails. - Susan from Hawaii This was a great tour itinerary with beautifully chosen hotels. – Deborah from New York Overall very pleased with itinerary, hotels and locations. I felt well taken care of from the pickup at the airport to the end of the tour. - Patricia from Massachusetts Another top shelf tour! Yolanta makes sure we are taken care of and have the best experiences. – Brenda from New Jersey The Egypt trip was planned to perfection! You left no stone unturned in the itinerary. Every day was a new highlight. From start to finish the experience was awe-inspiring – the sheer magnificence of the Great Pyramids of Giza, walking through the Valley of Kings, sailing on the Nile and the grandiosity of the ancient temples. We saw everything and then some! – Kermala from Michigan I loved the itinerary, quality of accommodations, and the variety of urban/wild destinations. I loved the Amazon river cruise, especially having it at the beginning with no internet available meant that the women all got to know each other and bonded well. – Deirdre from MD Everything about the Galapagos was amazing! The wildlife was fantastic, especially all the amazing birds. S&S always does a great job with accommodation, food, logistics, etc., and this was no exception. – Andrea from Wisconsin Loved the variety of sights, cities and countryside. Mr. Pat is the best tour guide ever. He gave us all a white rose because it was Valentine’s Day. I hope he is paid triple his wage. - Mary from Iowa You all do a fabulous job! Each trip is enhanced by the wonderful, intelligent women I meet each time I travel with you. I love learning something new and seeing something new each day. It was quite an adventure and I had wonderful experiences. – Rhoda from Florida Loved the oceanside bungalow hotel in Siracusa. Loved the free morning we had after getting there to sleep in and explore the grounds. – Betsie from Georgia As always – good time, great accommodations and meals. Galapagos is like nowhere else! – Sally Ann from Ohio I really enjoyed the Rio Negro cruise, but Iguazu Falls was truly spectacular. I also liked the day trip to Uruguay, the bird park, and optional helicopter ride over the falls. Our local guides were all very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. – Adrianne from Florida I loved the trip to the local people. It was interesting to get a good look at Peruvian culture firsthand. Thanks for a wonderful experience! – Orma from Pennsylvania Great trip! The visit to the private home in Palermo was so special! – Carol from New York Thanks for putting this tour together. I love the quality of the experience and the hotels. – Debby from Illinois The tour was complete and well planned. Exquisite, life long memories. The visits to the islands were beyond description – beautiful vistas, the seals, penguins and blue footed bobby birds! – Elaine from Florida Excellent! Loved the interactions with indigenous communities. Local guides were outstanding! – Mary-Louise from Minnesota I totally appreciated how everything was taken care of and how wonderful we were treated. I enjoyed the women in the group. Everything about the Galapagos was amazing! – Susan from Massachusetts The tour was excellent. It was a good mix of natural beauty and cultural enrichment. – Judy from New York I enjoyed the uniqueness of the tour very much, and learning about the Inca’s history and culture. The best experiences were visiting Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca. – Janifer from Minnesota I loved traveling with a small group. It was a great time! – Lori from Illinois Excellent experience for my first ever group tour. Not a single details was overlooked and the trip was wonderful from start to finish. It was definitely worth every penny! – Randi from North Carolina The tour to Lebanon was very well organized and I learned a lot about the history and culture. We were offered a variety of activities that were unexpected but enjoyable. The guides were knowledgeable and interesting. My fellow travelers were great fun! – Barbara from Alberta, Canada The Classic Tuscany Tour was terrific! It hit all the best of Italian culture, food and wine. – Martha from California This was the perfect itinerary for Scotland. I have recommended this specific tour to all my friends and family. The Orkney Islands were amazing. Our driver, Robbie, really enhanced the tour. He was absolutely the best and his personality made this tour more amazing. Scotland is my favorite country…so far! – Brandy from Oklahoma The location of the hotel was excellent! Having the itinerary planned with the tour director was excellent. The local guides, Luca and Gracelyn, were excellent! Thank you for a wonderful first time experience in Rome! – Linda from New Jersey Excellent tour! Local guides were outstanding. Included all the “must-sees”. I would recommend to friends as was able to see a lot in a short time. – Barbara from Georgia Nice blend of history, culture, and free time. Loved the restaurants and local tour guides. Nice hotel in Amalfi! – Joanne from California The local guides we had were incredible- they explain everything perfectly! The Rome Tour was wonderful. Captured everything in a short time. – Sharon from New Jersey It was a great trip – Lake Como and Venice food and hotels were wonderful! Local guides were fantastic too! Overall, such a lovely trip! – Margaret from Colorado Hard to choose the best experience – catamaran around Santorini, touring the villages in Santorini (great guide!) cooking class, and the food! Excellent itinerary with a taste of everything… Culture, history, spectacular scenery, beautiful beaches and (of course) the food! The pace was just right – lots of activities and enough time to relax and catch your breath. – Donna from Pennsylvania I thoroughly enjoyed my second trip with Sights and Soul. I think the tour guides do an outstanding job. I also think everything is planned just right. The accommodations and restaurant choices were great too. I loved the cooking class with lunch at the Manousakis Winery and the sailing trip in Santorini. – Karen from Florida I have a fond memory of the Greece tour in general. I enjoyed it a lot. I know many years from now, Greece tour will still come down as one of the best experiences I had. I enjoyed every bit of it. The time in Santorini was absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed seeing the Parthenon, the museum, the boat trip, the Volcano View Hotel, the sunset, the villages, Minoa Palace Resort, the cooking, the foods, the shopping and so many more. – Janifer from Minnesota Watching the beautiful scenery from the boat was the best experience of the tour for me. It was the most relaxing trip I have ever had with Sights & Soul Travels! – Diana from British Columbia All of the “hard stuff” (transfers, dinner reservations) was taken care of & all I had to do was enjoy myself. The catamaran trip was great. This was a fabulous trip – included a lot of the history of Greece as well as significant opportunities to enjoy today’s Greece. – Patricia from North Carolina The catamaran trip in Santorini was definitely the best experience of the trip, closely followed by the cooking class at the winery and the beach at Elafonisi for a tie. I thought the tour was wonderful. First, I never traveled with just women and either I was very lucky on my first tour or maybe it’s always like this, but I felt as though we had a very congenial group of women on this tour. I felt very comfortable with all my tour mates right from the start. I liked this tour and picked it because it checked off my box for Knossos which id’ wanted to visit for a long time, but also, it had a nice agenda of history, culture, and just fun days like the catamaran and the beach – what tour ever says, “Hey, we’re not doing anything today but going to the beach and having fun.”? Not many that I know of. The pace was really good; there were enough optional things to do if you wanted to or you could just stay at the hotel and sit at the pools. The hotels on this trip were out of this world, especially at Santorini and Chania. Santorini had the million dollar view and I could not get enough of it. I must have taken 100 of the same photo off my balcony just because of that. I will say too that all the hotel staff, from the luggage guys, to the front desk, to the restaurant staff was all top notch – friendly & helpful to boot. The hotel at Chania had everything: beach, pool, good restaurant. They were really organized at check-in and I got plenty of help to get laundry done. It was exceptional. – Leslie from Virginia So happy I chose this tour! I had a great time! – Virginia from Maryland My trip to Ireland was very special. Beautiful hotels, delicious food, incredible sights and of course a great group of women! The Aran Islands were gorgeous, and the Dingle Pennisula was wild. I just can’t say enough good things about this tour! Looking forward to my next tour! – Fran from New York It was a wonderful tour. The hotels were really nice. I especially love the manor house in Killarney – everyone should have their own castle! I liked the variety of activities. The food was excellent. It was a great group of women. A really fine tour! – Amy from Massachusetts I had high expectations for Norway – a long-held wish- and it was even more wonderful than I had hoped! Seeing the fjords was magical! Beautiful landscapes, fun staff onboard the ship, interesting cities and museums. I learned a lot and would go back! – Diane from Iowa The tour was well planned and executed. Hotels had great locations! – Gail from Florida Iceland was a bucket list item for me and travelling with Sights and Soul Travels was an amazing way to check it off. A beautiful country, a superb tour director and 12 wonderful ladies to travel with. Could not have asked for more. Met and beat all of my hopes and expectations for this trip. Would travel with Sights and Soul Travel again in a heart beat. - Sandy from Ontario, Canada I thought we had a wonderful variety of activities with the option to take additional downtime if needed. It was very memorable. And thanks for the wonderful pictures Teresa took that were posted for us. Even our photos were included! – Patricia from Alabama Fabulous trip, first rate accommodations, awesome tour guides, wonderful tour director, great size for a tour! This was my first trip out of the US and because of this tour I was able to enjoy, relax, and feel safe in my travels so far from home. – Jill from Texas It was wonderful. The Seine diner cruise, vineyard picnic, Monet’s Garden and tour guides were wonderful. The cooking class was wonderful. Chef Giles was well-prepped, put us all to work beautifully, and it was a great meal. I’m looking forward to receiving the recipes. – Kathryn from California The best experience for a first time overseas traveler. Love meeting new friends and learning where they have traveled. And I really love that you limit the group size to a smaller group of women. – Judy from Texas There were so many best things! Food, art, Quarry, Provence accommodations, and the cruise on the Seine. Loved the whole thing. – Karen from Arizona The Baltics and St. Petersburg were beautiful, clean and an amazing tour! The hotels we stayed in were fantastic, and S&S tour leaders are the best!!! A very upscale trip. The local guides, the bus drivers, and the airport transfers were perfect. The office was also very helpful with obtaining my Russian Visa. – Risa from New Jersey I love Sights & Soul tours! You are taken care of from the minute your plane touches down until you are back at the airport for departure. – Janet from North Carolina The Russian ballet was fantastic! A once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget – Joan from Florida I am usually the person who plans trips for my family and keeps everyone organized during the trip. Joining a Sights & Soul tour gives me the chance to take a vacation without having to do all the work. It was great to have a total break from responsibility and know that I’ll have a wonderful experience, meet new people, and be safe. – Mary from Illinois As this was my first time traveling with Sights & Soul, I was pleasantly surprised at the luxury feel of the hotels and restaurants. I enjoyed traveling with the group, as well as having a little free time some days. – Jonelle from Illinois The best experience during the trip had to be the guide we had in Latvia. She was fabulous and struck just the right note with our group. She had so many whimsical stories to tell us. She covered history and legend, as well as touching lightly on the politics of the region. Also, we were enchanted with our luncheon at the local manor house. As our bus pulled up, two waiters were waiting on the grounds to serve our lunch. Tables were set under the trees and the food was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. The Baltics are such a beautiful area of Europe which is not inundated with tourists. I suggest that people visit before it becomes a more popular cruise destination. – Linda from California This was a wonderful overview of London and the Cotswolds! I loved having so many chances to ride the tube in London. The guides were so helpful and interesting. The bus was fabulous, and the Bailey’s Hotel in London was lovely and in a great location. The food at the Number Four Hotel in the Cotswolds was very good; great service there overall. – Jan from Illinois Using the underground in London was great planning – so efficient! Loved all of London and the location of the hotel out of central London. Westminster Abbey, Windsor and Oxford were highlights. – Mary-Louise from Minnesota Although it was more strenuous than I thought it would be, it was a great introduction to England and never boring. I was a total newbie at traveling and learned so much, not only about England, but also about trying new experiences, pushing my comfort zone and how to travel. - Nadine from North Carolina It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it! The cities were all interesting and beautiful. Our guide, Marta, was superb. This trip is very affordable as well. Thanks for your hard work! – Sharon from Illinois The Iceland Tour was interesting and enjoyable. We had a great tour director, great guides, great women and a great experience! – Joanne from Missouri Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands was a fabulous tour! Absolutely stunning scenery and a great group of women travelers! – Julia from New Mexico Great group of women! S&S planned a great tour of North and South Islands which hit all the highlights! – Marie from Pennsylvania Scotland was spectacular – landscapes were stunning, with beautiful fairytale castles everywhere. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. This was my second trip with you, and I am sure I will book another. – Barbara from Georgia All the hotel choices were wonderful. Our Edinburgh guide was very good, and I enjoyed the freedom to tour at our own pace in Edinburgh Castle. Superb walking tour in the glen at Glencoe! Our coach driver was excellent and I loved seeing the country while traveling in the coach. Thanks for running such a terrific travel company for women! I recommend many of my friends to you. – Kathy from Wisconsin Loved the hotel in Edinburgh and the meals at the small villages were fantastic! – Doris from New Jersey Enjoyed the location of the Eiffel Duquesne Hotel. We could sit out front with a bottle of wine and people watch and enjoy the sights and styles of the French. Very convenient to reasonable cafes, 24hours store, Eiffel Tower, metro, Rue de Cler, shopping etc. I must also commend Melissa in Paris. She is very knowledgeable, a great tour guide. I’m so glad I chose this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed it and Marlene was such a pleasure. Thank you Sights and Soul!! Your tours are first class and I appreciate that. P.S. Loved the Vamoos app. Although I didn’t use it for maps (I will next time), I used it for a quick reminder of the itinerary, flight info and member info. I found I referred to it a lot throughout the tour. – Alice from Pennsylvania It was very special being one of the 1st participants of The Baltics tour. Each destination was fascinating and learning about the 3 countries history and current living was absorbing. Loved the balance between city walks, historical sites, and walking through heritage villages. It was a great time of year to travel prior to busy season. We had great hotels and of course to die for food. Finally Marta is a professional and nurturing tour director and she and my co explorers were the best; friendly, lots of laughs and great connections. Looking forward to my next destination. – Gaye from New South Wales, Australia. Great restaurants, museums and excellent guides. Eastern Europe was an unexpected “jewel” in my travels. Prague and Budapest exceeded my expectations for beautiful places to visit. – Joan from New York Loved it – a dream come true! The local tour guides were wonderful, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. – Theresa from California Meeting new people and learning about the different cultures were the best. This was a very well put together tour that had the right amount of free time. It covered a wide range of interests and I felt I had learned a great deal about the history of the areas we visited and the culture. Prague and Budapest were wonderful! – Renee from South Dakota The best experiences were the Castle District tour in Budapest, and the great lunch venue. The Mozart concert in Vienna, and the rooftop dinner overlooking Prague. The local guide in Budapest was wonderful! – Arlene from Arizona The cooking class was really great and seeing the Pont du Gard in person – have seen in movies but in person it is better! – Jane from Washington Each day was wonderful! Greece was beautiful and the tour was phenomenal – great tour director, wonderful food and the hotels were breathtaking – Sights and Soul is the way to travel! – Sheli from Pennsylvania Really enjoyed the Vatican, and I didn’t really have expectations. The food was amazing of course! Loved the opportunity to walk through the city and connect with so many historical sights- the Colosseum and surroundings! This tour is rich with history, culture, art and the wonderful people of Rome. It’s icing on the cake after the beautiful Amalfi Coast Tour! Thanks for a really special treat! – Robin from Delaware The best experiences during the tour were the flower auction and Keukenhof. It was a great trip. – Nera from North Carolina It was a wonderful tour. It was my first tour with Sights and Soul and I was very pleased with the overall experience. The best experiences during the tour were touring the smaller towns such as Ronda. – Lisa from Minnesota I was very happy with all aspects of the trip. The best experiences were the unexpected moments, hearing a street violinist in Lisbon, walking into a church in Obidos as they were preparing for a wedding, sunsets, etc. I was pleased with the quality of the hotels, wineries, food, etc. The buses were very comfortable and Patricia is a wealth of knowledge. – Sherry from Texas All the hotels and their locations were fantastic! Love, love, loved the guides in Lithuania and St. Petersburg. – Karen from New York One of the best tours ever! The hotels and tour director were fabulous as was the scenery and food – excellent. First class all the way! Greece is one place everyone who travels should go – great experience. Thank you! – Kathleen from Illinois This was my first “solo” trip. I enjoyed the company of the other women and always having someone to tour or eat with if I chose. I really enjoyed having to only change hotels once. I especially like the hotel in Bruges. The rooms were fabulous! I enjoyed being able to walk around the historic district in my free time. – Suzann from Texas The best experience was sitting on the terrace at the Mountain View Hotel in Santorini watching the sunset with a glass of wine in tow. I enjoyed everything on this trip – the food, hotels, cooking class, the wine and local guides and landscapes and the lovely group of women. It’s always a special treat to travel with like-minded women. Anyone wishing to experience “paradise”, Greece is the country to visit with tour guide Anne Thompson. – Bettye from Maryland It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a week. Thank you all for a wonderful experience! I met a great group of like-minded, intelligent, and diverse women; and, I cannot say enough about the fantastic job Anne did. I will not hesitate to travel again with Sights and Soul. - Toni from Virginia The best experiences were all the “factories” – flower auction, cheese, Delft and chocolate; Anne Frank’s house was profound; Keukenhof was gorgeous; and all the canal rides were fun, and face another perspective of a city. This was a wonderful trip – very well organized with two interesting countries. My favorite meal was at Le Petit Grand in Bruges – yum!! Both hotels were excellent. Special kudos to Grand Hotel Casselbergh for opening their full breakfast buffet at 6:00AM for our oh-so-early departure to Brussels airport. I liked having the Vamoos and WhatsApp for use on the trip. April’s pre- and post-emails were both helpful and caring. I really like the limit of 16 women. – Ellen from North Carolina The tour had nice women, and a wonderful tour director. The best experiences were the Flower Auction, the bike tour in Kinderdijk and Keukenhof. – Valerie from Florida The home hosted farewell dinner was the best experience. – Char from Nevada The people on the trip were the best. It was also my birthday on our last night. We went to Angela’s sister’s home for a traditional dinner. We had a fantastic night with her family, their hospitality and helping to celebrate my birthday. It made me very proud of my Portuguese heritage. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to my next one. – Maureen from Massachusetts Javier, the local guide in Marbella was excellent. The Moroccan Restaurant in Granada was excellent. The city of Ronda was beautiful. Marta was an excellent guide in Madrid, could be understood. The Madrid market visit was excellent. Mariona in Barcelona was excellent. – Kathy from Wisconsin Learning the history of the area was the best experience during the tour. – Lisa from Texas Excellent tour – never thought Portugal would be such a beautiful country. Patricia, the local tour guide, was excellent. I could understand her very well. She’s a keeper for future tours. Christ the King and Lisbon Bridge were wonderful to see. The Tile Collection Museum was excellent!! – Kathy from Wisconsin It was a great tour. It touched on many wonderful sites in Spain. It was great! Thanks for organizing these trips. The ladies by the way were awesome. – Ann Kathleen from Pennsylvania I really enjoyed this tour. It covered the most interesting parts of Chile. Now I’m interested in the rest of South America! Santiago, Easter Island, Patagonia & Atacama Desert was one of the best tours that I have experienced. We had very knowledgeable guides that shared very interesting information – all with a great group of women! – Barbara from Alberta, Canada Tour was great. Lots of good activities, tour guides were great. Food experiences were great. Especially enjoyed the 5 course Captains Gold dinner on Day 9. – Liz from Texas Having lunch at our guides family home and going to chef Michaels home gave a personal insight into Morocco. The tour was extremely organized without being regimented. The combination of day tours, shopping, learning and dining were an excellent balance. Loved Rick’s Café. The historical sites were a wonderful in depth learning experience about Morocco. Thank you! – Phyllis from Florida I loved it all – the culture, history and camel ride. It was overall more than I anticipated. It was a fabulous tour with the right blend of history, culture and sights. The local guides were a great addition to enhance the tour. – Linda from Pennsylvania Loved the opportunities to do adventure activities during the tour – camel ride, snorkeling and the Sydney Bridge climb! – Kathleen from Michigan This was an excellent tour. Everything was first class from the accommodations to the activities. I was really happy with the value of the tour, because of all the included meals and activities. No surprises! – Madalyne from Texas I really enjoyed the tour. The activities were well planned. The tour guides were knowledgeable and added lots to the trip. It was everything I wanted it to be. – Liz from Texas The following were wonderful: camel ride in Sahara Desert, lunch with the local family, lunch at Scorpion house, and experiencing medina life at Fez. Riad Fez was a stunning and wonderful hotel. – Connie from New York The Sahara Desert Berber Tent experience was top of the list! The desert trip was magical, to be remembered by all ! – Pamela from California My time in Amalfi, and along the coast of Italy was a dream! Each engagement with the people, the tour guides and with the beautiful environment was memorable. Just delightful! Also the museums in Naples and Pompeii were superb. Loved it! – Robin from Delaware I knew I would love New Zealand but S&S tour enhanced my experiences. All the activities were well-planned and they were well balanced with our free time. Accommodations and meals were excellent. The only regret is that the Night Sky tour was canceled due to weather but Marta found alternative activities for us to do. I really enjoyed the walking trails and saw the spectacular Mt. Cook. The spa was a real treat. I enjoyed the good times with the other women. - Jan from Minnesota Of my three S&S tours, this was my favorite. I absolutely LOVED Norway. And I loved being on the ship, not having to pack and unpack, and yet fantastic new views every day. – Karen from New Hampshire This was a totally amazing adventure! Easter Island was the best experience, but choosing the best experience was a tough call since it was a great trip! – Gayle from Oregon Very satisfied with this tour! Expectations met! Dinners covered by Sights & Soul were excellent. I appreciated ordering off menus (not banquet menus) in quality restaurants. Easter Island has always been a dream destination, since childhood. Seeing the statues and hearing perspective from a local guide was really interesting. – Anne from New York I loved Patagonia’s glaciers and the Moon Valley in Atacama – Valerie from Alabama This tour surpassed expectations. I really did not know what to expect but this tour was phenomenal. The whole group was like we had known each other for years. I have never had such an incredible experience. – Barbara from Oklahoma By far the best vacation I have ever taken. I loved, loved, loved the accommodations and the food was fantastic. All the local tour guides were excellent. – Linda from Massachusetts I am glad I went to Thailand. I love being immersed in different cultures and learning about the customs and mores of perole I knew little about. I came away from the Thailand trip having learned a lot about the country and I was pleased. Mr. Pat provided cohesion, clarity and knowledge on the trip. Since he was so informed about everything Thai… he gave us a grouding on appropriate cultural sensitivity. He is highly skilled as a leader and guide. The hotels and food destinations were very good. I really appreciated the Sheraton Hotel in Bangkok and the city of Chiang Mai generally. – Ellen from New York The entire Tanzania and Zanzibar trip was an absolutely incredible experience. Being up-close an personal with the magnificent wildlife is indescribable. Indian Ocean snorkeling is beautiful. – Sydney from Alabama I have not been on – nor do I expect to be on – another trip as amazing as this one. Superseded all expectations. It was worth the long travel to get there. Africa was an amazing show of nature; friendly, warm, welcoming people; the restrooms were immaculate and wonderful accommodations in the Serengeti and Zanzibar and everywhere we went. – Connie from Oregon An excellent trip nicely balanced between extraordinary game drives and wild animals uncoverings and teeming life on Zanzibar. The snorkeling was great and the beauty of the seascape was amazing. This was a “bucket list” trip, not to be missed. – Ellen from New York I have NOTHING negative to say; it was 100% perfect! – Rachel from British Columbia This was the best tour ever, a real dream trip! – Diana from British Columbia It’s a cliché but this truly was a trip of a lifetime. Loved the snorkeling area though I wasn’t sure I’d try it! Tours of the slave quarters + monument was compelling – I hadn’t known of Zanzibar’s history with slaves before this trip. – Victoria from New Jersey It was great to immerse myself in a completely different culture… but my much needed vacation vibe really started and ended in Laos where I was seduced by its charms and quirks. The cooking class was a lot of fun. It gave us the opportunity to participate rather than be a spectator. The people running the school were organized, pleasant patient and present… definitely one of the highlights of the trip. - Julie from New York India was a life changing experience – specifically Varanasi. – Roxanne from Missouri Transformative experience. I haven’t stopped talking about it and we’ve been home for 20+ days. - Anne from Massachusetts As always a thoughtfully planned & organized tour. A diverse tour from the city of Cape Town to the games drives in Kapama, there was always something to amaze! To see the Big 5 in their natural habitat is something I’ll never forget. - Melissa from Ohio A life changing experience - I was in awe of the natural environment and the pride and environmental consciousness of our guides, especially in South Africa. - Jill from Wisconsin Great hotels, great variety, free choice of restaurants. - Jill from Wisconsin The entire tour was fabulous. I particularly enjoyed the tombs and temples. Having an Egyptologist was a major plus. - Joan from Florida This was a trip of a lifetime for me. As high as my expectations were, the trip exceeded them. Raf really bought the area to life. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, and saw to it that we enjoyed every stop. His presence is what took this trip to the next step. – Jacqueline from Colorado Egypt was great! Saw everything I wanted to see. – Barbara from Idaho Each day had the “best” experience. Going inside the tombs, riding the camels, dinner at the guest house, drive through Egypt, markets, Islam tour, Balloon ride, Egyptologist, lectures, trip to Petra and Dead Sea Spa. The tour was Amazing! Enjoyed the shopping experiences and especially with the companies that did not pressure but exposed us to the techniques of how the crafts/ art were made. Comradery was exceptional among a group of strangers who were very inclusive and helpful for each other. - Grace from South Carolina Our local guide, Mr. Pat was wonderful and made the trip for me. His kindness, desire to help us understand Thai culture, Thai Buddhism (and Thai food), and attentiveness to our needs were outstanding. – Sue from Massachusetts I love the Country. Local guide “Mr. Pat” made the trip for me and my friends. Hotels were nice, especially Sheraton Royal Orchid in Bangkok. – Theresa from Oregon The Galapagos Tour was the trip of a lifetime. A dream made real. The accommodation at the hotel in Quito and also on the Legend vessel was wonderful, and the food was superior, especially that breakfast buffet at the Swissotel! The tour leader was efficient and kind and catered to our best interests at all times. I am happy to have had the opportunity to travel with Sights and Soul once again. Many thanks. - Marina from Newfoundland The Galapagos Tour was the trip of a lifetime. A dream made real. The accommodation at the hotel in Quito and also on the Legend vessel was wonderful, and the food was superior, especially that breakfast buffet at the Swissotel! The tour leader was efficient and kind and catered to our best interests at all times. I am happy to have had the opportunity to travel with Sights and Soul once again. Many thanks. - Marina from Newfoundland Top notch professionals, very well managed tour. The local Egypt supplier was the best. – Catherine from Illinois I enjoyed the whole trip, but found the safari drives most exciting. Seeing the animals in the wild and driving off road following a leopard was amazing. – Nancy from Pennsylvania The accommodations of rooms were terrific, great service. Best tour ever – I will remember this for a long time. – Carol from Pennsylvania I thought the tour had a good mix of free time and group time. The restaurants were good and the choice of hotels was good. I really liked the Le Meridien Hotel because of its location near the train station and the old town, the breakfast buffet was excellent. The tour was well organized and a good value for the price. I appreciate being able to travel with other women on a small group tour. Keep up the good work. - Dawn from California Everyone I told that I was going to Egypt asked if I was worried about safety and I easily said no because I was traveling with “Sights and Soul Travels”! I felt very safe the whole trip. The women on the trip made the experience great. Mohammed and Guardian Travel did a wonderful job. Everyone was fantastic!!! – Nancy from New Jersey Throughout the tour, the guides and the hotels were fantastic. Loved the trip and enjoyed all of the women. – Toby from New Jersey The Egypt trip took me on a journey to times past. The entire trip was exceptional, but the key to its depth was the Egyptologist guide. It seems you would never get the same understanding of what you were experiencing without him. The timing of our stops were extremely well organized. One example was heading straight to the Tut exhibit at the museum as soon as we arrived. We had the entire room to ourselves for quite a while before other visitors arrived. – Mary from Oregon My friends are sick of me talking about Sights and Soul. You guys are the best, can’t wait for India and Lebanon, then South Africa 2020, and who knows where else! – Tammy from New Jersey The tour to Egypt and Jordan was well-planned. Our Egyptologist in Egypt had amazing knowledge. Our local guide in Jordan was excellent. I felt very safe while on this trip especially with our armed security. – Jani from Oregon Great trip which was on my bucket list. Also great value, and more affordable than the $10,000 trips you generally see advertised. Including a couple of days in Quito was a great way to add some balance with the old colonial heritage mixed with the nature/ecological part of the trip. – Christine from Ontario, Canada Fabulous trip! You guys do an amazing job from pre-registration through the return to home. – Anne from Rhode Island German Christmas Market is a must! Marta and the group made my first trip wonderful. Sights and Souls is a wonderful tour company, I was not disappointed! – Sonja from South Carolina This tour was so much more than the markets. Germany has some towns that look like a page from a fairytale. I had a truly wonderful time and would definitely travel with Sights and Soul again. – Patricia from New York Of course, the balloon sunrise ride over Bagan was the best experience. The group of women was fabulous – so fun. The country was beautiful , interesting and delicious. The places we visited and the hotels were perfect, Inle Lake is not to be missed! The 100s of pagodas and temples were beautiful, and ancient Buddhas were amazing! I had no idea how delicious the food in Myanmar was. We visited agricultural areas, big cities and the iconic Inle Lake. – Risa from New Jersey It was very interesting and well-coordinated. I enjoy archeology and Myanmar was incredible! Can’t say enough good things about our in-country tour guide, his knowledge and great attention to each of us enhanced our visit. We felt welcomed and left with a better understanding of the country and its people. Wonderful trip. – Joan from Florida Excellent! Saw many different aspects of the culture and history while meeting the locals and participating. – Deb from Florida It was a great tour with a terrific bunch of women. Our local guide was amazing. Having such a small group made us all closer. It was a wonderful experience to visit a country just opening up. I was actually surprised at how modern it was in places – a country of contrasts. – Adrianne from Florida A trip of a lifetime. This trip greatly exceed my expectations. – Vera from Illinois I had a great time on the tour and felt that I really got to experience Scotland and all aspects of that country! I enjoyed the Orkney Islands, the different castles, Isle of Skye, and really liked our time in Edinburgh. The tour information book was very organized and helpful. This trip was organized well and it was nice to have a spacious bus such that we were not cramped when traveling every day. Food was also great! It was also nice to travel with a great group of women! – Madeline from Michigan I can always count on your tours for great accommodations and food and fabulous tour directors. – Cheryl from California Sights and Soul provides the most wonderful experiences. Their tour directors are friendly, knowledgeable, and make sure that all runs smoothly. I would not hesitate to take all my “girls trips” with them. Looking forward to the next! – Barbara from Texas LOVED it! Was fascinated by all the layers of history that are represented all over the island. Local guides were smart, informative and personable. I loved the tour/material itself. It was an interesting time to travel with a diverse group of Americans. – Margaret from Pennsylvania The Scotland tour was amazing – so many wonderful memories! First rate experience! – Janet from Florida I thought everything was so professional. The communication was excellent, from booking to coming home. I’ve taken 10 trips with another women-only tour company, and liked S&S much better. I also loved the way the transfers to/from the airport were handled. – Susan from Colorado My trip to Sicily with Sights and Soul was a trip of a lifetime! The tour director was amazing and the sights were spectacular! I am planning my next trip with Sights and Soul! – Amy from South Dakota The tour of Ecuador and Galapagos was a dream of a lifetime! Our tour leader, Kerry was super organized and knowledgeable; just a warm, wonderful person. Everything ran smoothly and I felt like I came away with terrific memories and great new friends – Teresa from Pennsylvania We were very well taken care of, and saw all the major sites. The hotel and its location were GREAT! This was my first trip with Sights and Soul Travels, but I’m sure it won’t be the last. Thank you for helping me make a dream come true! - Julie from Tennessee Loved the tour. Activities, accommodations, and restaurants were excellent! - Joyce from Minnesota Great tour, very educational, amazing artwork. - Karen from Florida I wanted you let you, Yolanta and the rest of the Sights and Soul Travel staff know what a fantastic time I had on the Eternal Rome tour. This was my first time traveling with Sights and Soul and I believe this is the start of a wonderful relationship! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It is obvious how much thought and detail go into the tours. I am planning on registering for my next trip very soon. - Mary from North Carolina We saw so many beautiful historic sites. The escape from the city to Tivoli was refreshing. Art historians / historians were excellent. The tour was short but packed with all the places I wanted to see. - Patricia from Massachusetts Being in Italy was terrific, with everything well planned and yet flexible! I have not travelled a great deal but wanted to see new parts of the world. Sights and Soul has opened up “world traveling” for me. - Patricia from North Carolina I loved it, the history in Rome was incredible! I think SST does an excellent job. I never felt as though I was on a “tour” or required to do anything that wasn’t enjoyable. It was great having all expenses taken care of in advance. (Except the great shopping in Rome, of course.) - Karen from Arkansas Great tour, great leader, I had a wonderful time! I also saw some very interesting places and people. – Peggy from Montana It was so nice having things organized, routes and transportation figured out, good restaurants already discovered, etc. Visiting Italy’s Amalfi Coast with Sights and Soul Travels allowed me to fulfill a dream with a group of women who were soon friends. It was easy and fun with a terrific combination of activities, great food, an amazing hotel and just the right amount of free time. - Karen from Arkansas From the minute you get off the plane until it’s time to head home, Sights and Soul has you covered. The guides are superb – not only a multi-lingual tour leader but also specialized local guides for portions of the trip. You see not only the expected sites in the area, but also the unexpected, and these experiences make each trip world-class. – Mary from Oregon Tuscany is an awesome tour. The hotels were great, a good mix of sights and relaxation. The food and wine were great. All the guides were very good and Teresa was an excellent tour leader. – Barbara from Alberta, Canada I was so pleased with the tour! There is nothing I would change. I loved the binder you sent before the trip – so helpful! All the packing guidelines were needed! – Janie from Colorado Each day in Greece was spectacular. The accommodations, tours, food and transportation was all above expectations. Thank you for the experience! – Jan from Tennessee I had a great time. All the women were very friendly and helpful. We all had a great time together. – Diane from California Best trip ever! I have traveled extensively but not with this group, and I loved Scotland and felt that I saw the best of Scotland. Loved the ladies on my tour as we experienced this beautiful country together. – Betty from Alabama The tour was excellent overall. We saw numerous important interesting sites and had dinners at some wonderful places. Kerry was an excellent guide. – Maureen from Virginia It was a great tour! It covered lots of highlights of Tuscany in a relaxed, fun atmosphere! I really enjoyed it. The accommodations were great and the restaurants were excellent too. – Kathleen from Georgia Lake Como and Venice were magical! I tell everyone who asks about my trip that it couldn’t have been better. – Jane from Washington I absolutely loved the tour! Sights and Soul Travels left no stone unturned on the Scotland itinerary. I saw all that Scotland had to offer and then some! This tour was honestly the absolute best way to see Scotland. My tour group was a fantastic group of like-minded women who, in a very short period of time, became fast friends and traveling soul/sole sisters! I like to take one big trip a year and would travel again with Sights and Soul Tours in a heartbeat! Thank you for the extensive, well thought out itinerary and the opportunity to go outside the normal well-travelled sights! – Kermala from Michigan I loved Skara Brae, Culloden, the hike through Glencoe, and Holyrood Castle. Each experience was very special for different reasons. I must add that finding a new friend amongst the ladies, with whom to travel in the future, was an unexpected bonus. – Kim from Ontario, Canada Scotland was beautiful and we had sunny days! It relaxes me just to close my eye and go back there now. – Diane from Iowa So many things were outstanding. Ireland overall exceeded my expectations. Such a well-rounded tour. - Katherine from California The tour was great overall, just what I have come to expect of Sights & Soul. – Marilyn from Rhode Island The best experience was the boat ride up to St. Marksburg Castle, including the stop along the way. I loved the tour. It was my first with Sights and Soul Travels and it was well planned and executed. The group was just a lovely mix of ages, backgrounds and interests. – Veronica from Connecticut I enjoyed the tour. The pace was fast but comfortable. The tour leader and fellow travelers were generally easy to be around. – Celine from Arkansas Wonderful tour and beautiful scenery. Loved the opportunity to explore the Islands and to swim. – Charlotte from Nova Scotia I loved the bus/train/boat day tour from Bergen – even the part where the train was stopped and we were stranded for a while! The North Cape excursion was worth it. I liked the walking tour of Trondheim. – Judith from California The Blue Lagoon was very relaxing! Great trip! Great bunch of ladies! Wonderful tour of Iceland. Wonderful experience. – Marie from Pennsylvania The women in the group were all fascinating and fun. I enjoyed all the excursions and the fabulous scenery. Being on the ship for a few days made it more relaxing with the extra downtime. I highly recommend this tour. – Connie from Massachusetts I was pleased with everything about the tour – the accommodations, the restaurants, and the ship was surprisingly nice. – Barbara from Missouri I was very pleased with the tour. The guides were great, tours were good choices, and I liked the river boat aspect to see the villages - and believe me, I saw them all! – Dot from New Hampshire Dubrovnik is a fabulous city, the hotel was excellent, the activities were well balanced and enjoyable, everything came together beautifully. I enjoyed the tour and would certainly seriously consider travelling with Sights and Soul again. – Claudia from Ontario I liked being able to see both a city and the country side. The Tatra Mountains were beautiful, and I probably never would have thought of going there on my own. Everything was very well coordinated. We had enough free time to relax and explore, and all of the planned activities went like clockwork. I really love not having to worry about anything. – Karen from New Hampshire This is my first trip outside the country since my husband died. I couldn’t have picked a better tour group to go on my first solo trip with! – Della from Texas I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who would like a slightly different experience, one in which you see a whole different world in comfort. – Mary Ellen from Delaware Sights and Soul Travels is really the only company to use to experience the best of any destination. And you’ll make 16 new best friends! - Julia from New Mexico I really enjoyed Dubrovnik, it is such a beautiful place. The time on the water was lovely – just very relaxed. I have recommended Sights and Soul to many people. The quality cannot be beat! The tour was very interesting, particularly the history of the region. It was a good mix of active and relaxation. – Linda from Nova Scotia It was more than I’d even hoped for! I was thrilled to be immersed in the culture and history of my ancestors. Beautiful Poland! – Deb from Montana France was my 4th tour with Sights and Soul. I would recommend these tours to anyone. Great groups, new friends and a very safe way to travel. It seems the age range is expanding. I love this because younger women always bring a fresh new attitude. – Deborah from British Columbia A wonderful tour with a variety of experiences! – Margaret from California An extraordinary experience through three related cities, each different and distinct. This tour features excellent and well located hotels, great guides and site visits, and whets the appetite for more. Thank you for a wonderful time! – Anne from New Jersey From my previous Sights and Soul tours, I had high expectations for the Croatia tour. This tour more than met all of my expectations. I learned so much about the former Yugoslavia and present-day Croatia and Bosnia, and even learned a little about the Roman and Ottoman Empires. Croatia was so beautiful, with the mountains and the coast. Wonderful seafood, excellent wine, great company. Again, it was a great tour. Thanks for all the work you did to make everything go well. – Susan from New York It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to sign up, but I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, along with all the wonderful ladies I met. I hope to travel with Sights and Soul again! – Christine from Ontario Fabulous tour! – Pamela from California Researched “women-only” travel and 8-10 companies came up. Was most impressed with Sights and Soul Travels itineraries, small group size, and few hotels. Web pages very complete and professional. This tour was beyond my expectations, especially Dubrovnik, which – although touristy – is amazing! I liked the small number of women, all interesting and savvy travelers, and staying in just 2-3 hotels. – Ellen from North Carolina Loved Reykjavik… Loved not moving hotels but once… loved the Fridheimar greenhouse… Glad we flew to Akureyri rather than drive… Horses were great also! Iceland is a unique destination and Sights and Soul did an excellent job of providing a complete and varied experience of the country. – Delora from North Carolina The trip to Croatia exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed myself immensely. The wine was superb and each restaurant selected was the crème de la crème! The local tour guides were very knowledgeable and it was evidenced that they enjoyed what they were doing. Renata expended a lot of effort to make sure that the tour was a memorable one. – Bettye from Maryland This trip was a wonderful, historical tour of the three cities. I will never forget this experience! Amazing sites – A TON of walking… Thankfully I took sturdy tennis shoes! – Lisa from Tennessee This tour was very well planned with diverse sights, wonderful accommodations and excellent restaurants. Top notch all the way! – Virginia from New York I thought the trip was extremely well planned. I loved the accommodations and the opportunity of meeting new friends. I liked the small group too. I liked the idea of all trips and all costs being completely covered. – Karen from Pennsylvania It lived up to everything I’d heard about Greece! The women were great and I made good friends. – Jennifer from Georgia I loved the small group. Loved becoming good friends with women of like interests. Friendship is part of the total experience! – Myrna from Kentucky The accommodations were lovely. Your pre-trip instructions were clear. My travels with another woman’s group were riddled with people complaining about their individual needs and you were very clear about the trip. I appreciate that. – Peggy from Arizona I thought the trip was extremely well planned. I loved the accommodations and the opportunity of meeting new friends. I liked the small group too. I liked the idea of all trips and all costs being completely covered. – Karen from Pennsylvania Very well done, a good balance of history and local “tourist” spots. A taste of France, I am now ready to revisit at my own pace. I have been on 3 tours, all offer a variety of experiences which capture the highlights of the country. I am very satisfied with the accommodations and the local experiences. We did a lot of walking which was tiring at times. But I realize that it is the only way to see it! Marlene did a fantastic job sharing “her home”. It was wonderful! – Mary from Maine Thank you, Sights and Soul, once again. I loved Eastern Europe. Each city had a beautiful culture, fascinating history, and lovely vistas. Marta was the perfect group leader, and we had a great group of women. I have memories for a lifetime. - Gene from Virginia An overall wonderful experience! I loved travelling with a small group of ladies and experiencing the beauty and charm of the Greek Islands! I loved this tour! There were lots of varied activities – sightseeing, museums, archaeological sites, wine tastings, cooking class, catamaran cruise, hiking a volcano – so you were never bored, great restaurants too! Anne, our tour director was wonderful! – Kathleen from Georgia The whole trip was wonderful. I enjoy these trips as everything is planned for me, and I see the things that should be seen at that destination. Portugal is a beautiful country to see. - Tiffany from Wisconsin Everything was a “best experience”, having never been to Spain. Kerry was perfect. So patient and understanding. The trip was wonderful, exciting, interesting and the opportunity to meet fun-loving ladies. - Linda from Illinois Precious moments, biking along the windmills and beauty, plus everything offered! Five-star meals! Every day a wonder! Renata is a gift! I loved her sincere and gentle manner. That coupled with her genuine care and knowledge makes her so special. Thank you for your professional staff and I look forward to each and every adventure ahead! - Karen from New York Learning about the Maori culture and the overall beautiful scenery of New Zealand were the best experiences. Theresa made suggestions for us when we had some free time; she was attentive to each traveler’s needs. - Valerie from New Jersey Biking through the windmills was an amazing experience. The hotels and restaurants were very nice and the food was delicious. My first Sights and Soul trip was a wonderful experience. I went on the trip not knowing anyone and have never traveled to Europe before but everyone on the tour made me feel like we have known each other forever. - Ashley from Pennsylvania Amazing and diverse experiences in a land of contrasts. Beautiful country, memorable trip. - Arlene from Arizona What a terrific adventure! Trip of a lifetime. Sights and Soul always does a wonderful job planning different activities. Kudos to everything on this Australian trip. - Sydney from Alabama I wouldn’t leave a single thing out of this perfectly outstanding trip. I have been on 7 of your trips now and all of them have been terrific! - Linda from Massachusetts Loved the Sahara, the camel experience, and the unbelievable scenery on the drive over the Atlas Mountains! - Lynne from Washington I just loved New Zealand! All the places were magnificent- Mt. Cook, Polynesian Spa, Thermal Reserves, Waitamo Caves! - Amy from New York Looking back on everything, I was truly blessed because it was wonderful trip and it shall be etched in my memories forever. I don’t think I have any single experience that is the best; the whole trip was the best! It has been a week since I have been home and I still have the joyful exuberance if a great vacation in my head. Usually everyday life pushes the vacation memories to the back of the memory bank but not this time. When I go on a tour, I want experiences, not lots of shopping time, and we were busy on the tour most of the time seeing NZ. The hotels were all very good and the food at the restaurants was first class and I appreciated that. I personally felt that everything on the tour was a first class choice. I recall when we were on the way to the Ruakuri Cave, our bus driver made a comment that we were going past the cave with a lot of buses to a better and more private tour up the road. I appreciated at that moment that S&S paid the higher price to give us a better experience without a crowd of people. Staying at the hotel in Mt. Cook National Park with a cloudless Mt. Cook out our bedroom window was a pinch me moment. Again, I was appreciating the upscale choice of the rooms we had; I know a room with a view costs more. I truly loved every minute of the trip; even the rainy day at Milford Sound where we saw a lifetime of waterfalls in one day. Who can complain about that? We saw three rainbows on the trip, how lucky is that? - Lucy from Illinois I have the highest regard for S&S. They care about meeting all our needs and giving us the best experiences, the most opportunities, highest quality restaurants and hotels, and the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff. - Amy from New York As always, S&S has designed yet another remarkable tour. I especially enjoyed the great variety as well as opportunities for physical activity and to experience Vietnamese people and culture. - Lynn from New York Fascinating ancient history, our Egyptologist was so knowledgeable. A real gentleman as well. You were right Yolanta – really great travelling companions! - Paddi from Alberta Great tour overall. Very comprehensive for time available. Good mix of activities. Guide in Cambodia was excellent. - Mary Louise from Minnesota I loved every minute of the tour. From the Cambodian Temples to the beautiful Ha Long Bay boat cruise. S&S really knows how to travel! - Tammy from New Jersey I really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot. I liked the variety of the experiences offered. I posted everyday on Facebook. All my friends enjoyed the pictures and commented on what a great adventure I was on. - Lynne from Illinois Holding a baby sloth and handfeeding hummingbirds, seeing whales were the highlights. The zipline and crocodile tour were an adrenaline rush. Also the group of women were awesome! – Stephanie from British Columbia My worries about traveling alone are over! I can see the world now, with women like myself and Tour Leaders who are dedicated to the safety and experience of the travelers. – Wendy from Virginia You made my dream of a Serengeti safari come true – exceeded any expectations I had. This was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in travel. To travel with my mom and sister and have everything taken care of for us was a luxury I never expected. Thank you for the whole experience. - Kelly from Montana The tour was great – loved the Snow Hotel, the city tours, my fellow sister-travelers, nighttime dogsledding, snowmobiling, and horseback riding. Anne was always excited to be with us and take group photos and offer options and advice. - Risa from New Jersey This was the best group of women on any tour I’ve experienced. Marta inspired us! Raf was an incredible guide – the sights were beyond my expectations. One of the most gratifying, fun, Sights and Soul trips. – Joan from California The tour to South Africa far exceeded my expectations. Although all my Sights and Soul Tours have been wonderful this was my favorite! The Kapama Safaris far exceed my expectations… Magical experiences! Kerry is awesome! After two tours with Kerry I now consider her a friend and can’t wait to travel with her again! – Denise from Indiana I have been internet following several tour groups for women over the past few years. Sights and Soul always came to the top of my list to try. There were so many memorable experiences on this trip, it’s very hard to say which was “the best”. I was extremely impressed with Kerry’s professionalism and knowledge of South Africa and what would enhance our tour experiences. I always felt so comfortable being under her capable guidance throughout the tour. I felt that she sincerely wanted me (and every person in our group) to gain experiences that would appeal to my sense of travel curiosity and adventure. She is an excellent tour leader. I would definitely consider Sights and Soul Travels for any upcoming trips. Still undecided on destinations. Well organized with just the right amount of flexibility to enhance our experiences. – Bonnie from Missouri I loved the London & English Countryside tour so much. It was a dream come true. I didn’t have to manage anything, it was all managed for me. I felt very pampered and loved making new friends. I especially appreciated the tour leader’s time spent organizing and waiting in line for the tickets (all the things I didn’t have to do!). I will travel with Sights and Souls again. Thank you! – Cindy from Oregon The February Norway tour was another amazing adventure. We saw Northern Lights, experienced dog sledding and riding Icelandic horses along the beach. The Fjords were magnificent and the scenery along the coast was beautiful. I am so glad I took this winter vacation with Sights and Soul, and Anne was a great tour leader! – Suzanne from Virginia S&S is a wonderful women’s tour group that is exceptionally well planned. Kerry is a caring, friendly face to everyone. Exploring all the sights in a small, safe surrounding made for a fabulous trip. Do not hesitate if you are a solo traveler – you will be welcomed and never feel alone. This was my first trip with S&S and would highly recommend it. It was an outstanding experience for women who share the love of travel and adventures. - Joyce from Ohio Excellent tour as usual. Sights and Soul is a class act. - Karen from New Hampshire This was my 3rd trip with S+S. Each one exceeded my expectations. Seeing the animals close up and so many of them was breath-taking, but also the guides were able to provide a real feel for Arica. The tribal village was a high point. Kerry, our tour leader implies confidence. I always felt we would be on schedule and where we needed to be, yet she was flexible when needed. Thanks S+S for another memorable adventure. - Mary Jo from Virginia This tour was much more than I could imagine it would be! The tours and meals exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were all wonderful. The Commodore was a great location, convenient to the waterfront. Camp Kapama was fabulous! The tour to a Namibian village was one of the many highlights of the trip. I really enjoyed the jeep and boat safaris – happy to have done both trips together. Kerry was great! She always asked how everything is and joined different people from the group for shopping, dinner, etc. and spent time with everyone. I can’t think of anything she could have done better. - Donna from Pennsylvania Great tour – great women – great Egypt specialist – loved Marta! - Kim from Virginia This was a most fascinating and educational trip: I greatly appreciated the knowledge of our local guides. There is nothing like actually standing next to the pyramids and the Sphinx, going down into the beautifully decorated tombs and walking through the amazing temples of Egypt and Jordan! The tour leader, Marta, was always availableif/when needed. She was calm and through and extremely even-handed in dealing with all in the group. She was organized and collaborated well with the local guides. - Deborah from Florida I enjoyed this tour very much. It really put me into the Christmas spirit and opened a new world of Christmas shopping to me. - Margaret from Washington, D.C. This was my first time touring with S + S, and I was very impressed! More than I expected and I really enjoyed the company of the group. - Jane from Florida I confess, I wasn’t really all that excited about birds, and animals on the Amazon, but this trip was so much fun. It was so much more. I am really glad I took this tour. I love all my trips with Sights and Soul, but Brazil might have moved up to my favorite. – Donna from Texas I had the best time, and it was wonderful to travel with this small group of women – beautiful memories and so much fun! – Gayle from New South Wales, Australia If you’re finding the USA Christmas Season with its gaudy decorations, and commercialism causing anxiety – the cure is to travel to Germany, where for hundreds of years they instill in you the wonder, awe, love and real meaning of the season – REBIRTH. Even if the religious aspect isn’t your cup of tea – the result is the same. – Karen from Connecticut I loved my trip to Germany, the land and the people, a real history lesson. I wish I could have “one more day”. I not only loved the experience, but was also comforted by the instant friendships. It felt like a college reunion. - Launie from Oregon Each and every tour I take with Sights and Soul becomes my newest “Trip of A Lifetime”. This is my 4th Sights and Soul Trip and Peru and the tour did not disappoint! In addition, the friendships formed by the women traveling together are fantastic! – Julie from New Mexico Marlene was GREAT! Her bubbly personality made it fun and she went far above the call of duty. Everything went so smoothly because she was so organized. It was all hassle free. Great accommodations, lots to do, very unique experiences and the absolute best trip I have ever taken! I was so satisfied with the decision to make this trip. And Sights and Soul made it almost effortless! – Patricia from Arizona The tour was very organized which maximized our exposure to Peru. It really couldn’t have been better. The hotels and restaurants were great too. – Barbara from Nevada I loved the tour, we saw a lot of interesting things (villages) that were off the beaten path. I loved the Shaman, Machu Picchu, the reed islands. I liked the upscale accommodations which were nicer than I would have booked for myself, but a real treat. Marlene could not have been a better tour leader. She was inclusive, fun, and on top off all the details. - Susan from Massachusetts The food was amazing and I really enjoyed the wine tasting. Angela is phenomenal – a true asset to Sights and Soul, as she regularly went above and beyond to ensure the best experience for everyone. All four Sights and Soul tours that I have been on were all great. The hotels, restaurants, tour leaders, variety of experiences, etc. were all wonderful. I like small groups for travel. I’ve gotten to know many fantastic women and have made many friends through Sights and Soul Travels. The tour was pure enjoyment and luxury. The best way to enjoy all that the Amalfi Coast has to offer. I really loved our guided tours through museums – especially with headsets, so you could walk around and hear the guide well. Everything about this tour was fantastic. One of the best vacations I’ve ever had! It was the best! So glad I discovered Sights and Soul., and now I’ve told all my friends how great Sights and Soul is. Thank you! This was one of the best tours I have taken to date. I was unsure what to expect as I was new to Sights and Soul, but I was extremely impressed by everything from the tour leader, to the hotel choice, and to the overall management of the tour. I highly recommend Sights and Soul! The tour was incredible. I loved the art and architecture and learning about the cultural melting pot of Sicily. All the destinations and local guides were wonderful. Angela was an amazing guide. The best experience during the tour were the dinners, which were delicious and as a vegetarian, I never felt deprived or disappointed, and they also fostered the comradery of the group. I did not know anyone ahead of time and felt always at ease. It was a pleasure to meet all the wonderful women in our group. Wonderful people, wonderful leader, wonderful from start to finish! The tour more than met every expectation. Over the top! The hotels were top rate, the meals provided were wonderful and all the walking tours with entry into so many places were amazing for the cost of the tour. This tour was outstanding! The women were all friendly and fun to be with. We had a good time together. It was a wonderful trip! I thought this tour was great. I firmly believe you get what you pay for and this was worth every penny. From when I first sighed up until after the tour, attention to details was great and really appreciated. Meals and hotels were outstanding. Wonderful experience. Ready to do another tour! Truly loved my 1st time experience and am looking forward to my next adventure! The group size was perfect (would not go larger) and the level of hotels, restaurants, and events were what took it over the top from a “trip” to a “wonderful, memorable experience”. Another well planned tour with just the right amount of free time. Even the rain held off until we were having dinner! Great tour! Sights and Soul provides an amazing complement of excellent itinerary, knowlegable guides, beautiful scenery and fabulous hotels and dining experiences! Terrific value! Marta really took care of all aspects of the tour – I didn’t have to worry or think about logistics. Mike and Peter were absolutely delightful too. I would also like to point out that your office team is not only professional but communicated very well by providing excellent customer service. I arrived early and stayed late for the tour and April worked hard on arranging the additional days at the Radisson Blu Hotel. Thank you! I really enjoyed just about everything. I really liked staying at Culloden House and having dinner the three evenings we had there. I love your tours – this was #4 and I am planning 5 and 6! The villa in Tuscany was outstanding. Enjoyed the cooking class and the day trips to all of the different small towns. Teresa was a saint. She is patient, funny and wonderful to have as our leader. Federica was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. This was my 15th tour with Sights and Soul. I would definitely move it to the top of my list of favorites. The comradery among the 10 of us and Teresa was wonderful made for such an enjoyable trip. Great accommodations, a little too much food. Seeing Myanmar was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed the location, friendly people and the ladies I traveled with. Thank you for another memorable holiday. Well organized and thought-out as always! The tour exceeded my expectations in every way. Great company, great food and a breathtaking location. The best experience during the tour was everything – the breathtaking scenery, the food, the wine, the company… Teresa is fantastic! She helped keep us organized, on time and informed. I can’t say enough good things about her. It was a remarkable experience! Hotels were wonderful, restaurants were wonderful. Would love to go back there at Christmas! Iceland is a cool country that warms the heart. Geological wonders, lovely people and beautiful Icelandic horses. Sights and Soul always finds unique experiences that make it the best travel company! The Iceland tour was fabulous. I liked that our hotels were centrally located. The itinerary was great; we were very busy and saw sights and locations that other tourist might not have known about. I loved the activity level, too. I would definitely recommend this tour to any woman considering visiting Iceland. I enjoyed my trip very much and will go on another one. I found out that even though I’m single I can still travel. Iceland was such great experience, I’d love to do it again! Iceland was a totally fab destination. I was so happy Sights and Soul offered it. I loved Iceland, its landscape and natural wonders. The local tour guides for Reykjavik day trips and in Akureyri were excellent. This whole trip was amazing. Romania is a beautiful country with beautiful people. It isn’t all commercialized and is a great place to visit. I wouldn’t change anything really, I had a great time on this trip, this tour covered the things to see and more. The Iceland tour was full of geological wonders and nice experiences. Waterfalls, horseback riding and whale watching were my highlights. We had a good group and leader! – Suzanne from Virginia The trip covered all of the natural wonders in Iceland. I can’t believe we did so much and saw everything and didn’t feel rushed. Fantastic tour! Becky was her usual wonderful self. The sights were amazing, the food delicious, fellow travelers friendly and weather cooperated. Who could ask for more? Wonderful travel companions who are now friends! Beautiful landscape + scenery. So much history. Enjoyed meeting locals and dining in their homes. I’m so thrilled I found Sights + Soul. It’s a fabulous company! Thank you for another wonderful experience. I look forward to many more trips. Really wonderful time in Romania, would highly recommend it to anyone considering a tour: great sites to visit, good hotels, good food selections. Really all around good tour. Poland exceeded all my expectations. The country was beyond beautiful, the history engrossing, and the people welcoming and proud. I can’t pick just one experience because it was all phenomenal. I thought the tour was fabulous. I really, really fell in love with Poland. Thank you for the wonderful time. The best experience during the tour was meeting a fantastic group of well-traveled, open minded ladies who knew how to have a good time. Marta was the perfect guide. Her Polish lessons were fun, and she was flexible and fun too, and so this tour beat all expectations. What a wonderful country! We were able to meet its people, experience the culture, history and some nature too. It was all a magnificent trip, and a beautiful country. Renata’s background and firsthand experience with the area and the wars that have plagued the country truly added to the richness of the experience. Absolutely the most beautiful country I’ve visited thus far! Really had a good time. Enjoyed everything about the trip. Thanks a bunch! The tour was fabulous. Ireland is magnificent, we explored beautiful castles , witnessed amazing landscapes, ate first class food, and gained so much fascinating knowledge of the Gaelic culture and traditions – together in a group that felt like family! Teresa definitely enhanced the tour with her conscientious attitude in aiming to please everyone and listening to everyone’s concerns – she has a wonderful demeanor. The hotels wer extraordinary – especially Gregan’s Castle and Hotel Europe. I feel very fortunate to have discovered Sights and Soul. As my husband no longer wants to travel abroad, I have found a way to see the world, in the company of likeminded women and a fabulous tour leader with a superior tour company. Sights and Soul was a perfect tour group for me. Enjoyed my tour from beginning to end – would give them 5 stars on all levels. A small group with lovely ladies, highlights the high interest sites, food is high quality choices, hotels were wonderful and had a different experience in each of them. I felt there were lots of great experiences, nice hotels and great restaurants. This was my fourth trip with Sights and Soul – all have been great but this one was probably my favorite – I love Scotland, and this was a great way to return! Outstanding vistas, locations, experiences, and group. One of the best travel experiences (and I travel a lot). Great job! I knew none of the group before the trip and feel that I made great new friends, what an interesting group of women! Teresa was outstanding, and I hope to travel with her in the future. The group was wonderful. The landscape and scenery was breathtaking. The hike was probably my favorite activity but all was so terrific, it’s impossible to choose. Teresa was soooo wonderful! She made the trip extraordinary. She handled everything, even rough patches, with ease. Made everyone feel special. Don’t do anything differently! Love the small group, all women experience! Overall, there’s nothing like traveling with Sights and Soul. I love the experience of traveling with people who enjoy making new friends as much as seeing new sights! And Anne was wonderful! I would be delighted to be on another trip with her. She saw to the schedule with an eye to get the most time possible from each stop. I saw her very kindly work to include solo travelers with dinner plans, and etc. My friends are all “over” informed about Sights and Soul, because I talk nonstop about you. It was a fun and fantastic way for me to spend time with my daughter, sister and two nieces. Wonderful memories were made! I think you all are amazing, great trips and a caring attentive staff! Anne was attentive, making sure everyone was happy! She arranged dinners (for “free” evenings), suggested sights not to miss during free time. She is lovely! Another hit! Well done. I cannot wait until I retire and can go on tours that don’t take place over school breaks. Already scheduled tour #6 and #7 in 2018. I am always talking about Sights and Soul to patients, doctors, and other nurses. Always fabulous, very nicely done, and onward to the next destination. I don’t travel with anyone else. I loved the Costwolds and Bath! I also enjoyed seeing Mousetrap, and all of the lovely meals we had (especially tea at Harrods!) Kew Gardens was also incredible. Our tour leader was great – she kept us organized and on time. My experience with Sights and Soul’s was fantastic! Every detail was accounted for and I was able to be present and relax without the responsibility of planning out every detail – a great gift! – Lauryn from California My first group tour ever – definitely will not be my last World-class experience with a knowledgeable tour leader. Thank you for making my first group tour and my first trip to England such a PHENOMENAL experience. – Tammy from West Virginia Loved the personal touches like Mimosas on the London Eye, and nicely chosen dinners. London was far more than I expected. Great group of ladies, super tour leader. Have never been disappointed. Am looking forward to my next trip. – Lindalee from Illinois Poland was so much more than I thought it would be. It is not on most people’s travel list, and it should be. – Maria from North Carolina Poland is a hidden gem. Marta is the best! – Kathy from Michigan I loved everything! So much history! I am so glad I went since my father was born there, and this was the best trip ever. Marta and all the ladies were fantastic. – Barbara from Michigan To share Greece, Santorini and Crete with like-minded women makes for a great and fun-filled journey. If you’re a single traveler, don’t hesitate, you’ll only be single at the beginning of the first dinner, after that you’ll travel with friends for the adventure; and maybe your next tour as well. – Sue from Kansas I thought the tour was very well organized and professional. All of the guides were extremely knowledgeable & friendly. The other women on the trip were terrific.. In general, I liked the diversity of tours and activities. – Willie from New York I loved traveling with women, and S&S has a lovely touch. Great thoughtfulness and taste were obvious in everything we did. I can’t wait to travel the rest of the world with them. Such a happy experience! – Jenny from Georgia This was a great trip. It was full of depth and richness, and I enjoyed meeting and hanging out with the other women. Marta is a real treasure - she is balanced, and able to lead a disparate group of women who all got along with each other. I know I am going to have to meet different leaders eventually, but really look forward to her trips. I have recommended your company to several people, including two individuals who will likely join up. Though there are lots of other companies, yours is well-organized, has varied programs, and feels like it really matters that we enjoy ourselves. – Meg from Pennsylvania Greece was a wonderful adventure: from the history of Athens to the beauty of Santorini or Crete. Our local guides were very knowledgeable, and Becky is the best! The tour was a great balance of History and Leisure. – Kathy from Washington I loved all the walking. I loved Klimt. I loved the Mozart concert in Mozart’s house. I loved traveling with women, and S&S has a lovely touch. Great thoughtfulness and taste is obvious in everything we did. I can’t wait to travel the rest of the world with them. Such a happy experience 😊. – Jenny from Georgia I thought the overall tour was a great experience – one of my favorites. Our tour leader was, as always, wonderful. We visited sights that were worthwhile and that I wanted to see. The hotels were very ice: elegant and comfortable. The local guides were good + spoke good English. We had plenty of free time to lie on the beach or shop. Great trip! – Kathy from Ohio This was my first group tour and I loved it. The other women were all great and I loved not having to worry about any of the logistics. I especially liked being met at the airport and being taken to the hotel. Very nice blend of culture, activities and free time. I enjoyed myself very much. Thank you. – Karen from New Hampshire It was my first time travelling with a small, women-only tour, and so happy I did. I have done larger, mixed groups before, and came home stressed and the tour was a blur. This trip was different. I came home feeling relaxed and with memories of newfound friends. Excellent trip! – Cheryl from Washington Wonderful tour. Lots of variety, both urban and rural. It was nice to only move hotels once. Good choice of hotels and restaurants. – Mary-Louise from Minnesota This trip was a dream come true. I still don’t believe I went. The women I met on the tour were great. We had a lot of laughs. Our tour guide, Marta, was the best. Every day was a great experience. I enjoyed eating gelato daily. I loved Ravello and the cooking class. Can't say enough about the wonderful trip. From the hotels to the tours and the restaurants, everything was top notch and I could tell that there was a lot of thought and planning into the process. Our tour guide Kerry was fabulous, she really went above and beyond in making sure we were all well taken care of. I will be recommending Sights and Soul and look forward to taking another trip. I have traveled with another women's travel group and Sights and Soul is by far a better company in so many ways. Thanks for making the trip to Holland & Belgium a memorable experience! Most women only tour groups offer Portugal with Spain. For those of us who have traveled extensively one country in depth is preferred. So this tour was perfect. The lovely dinner with Angela and her family was truly special. Angela, the tour leader, was organized, efficient, but not bossy or overreaching. She was available and treated each person with kindness and respect. She is the best tour leader I’ve had. Angela was wonderful! Kind, patient, but kept us organized and on time. She is very generous, and I enjoyed her personal comments on her experiences. Patricia, the guide, delivered fabulous information with great insight and great knowledge of Portugal. I was also extremely pleased that there were only 2 hotels with several nights at each. “Hotel hopping” would have ruined a tour. Private transfers from and to the airport are a real stress reliever, too. I forgot to mention getting to meet other women! Great fun in a small group! – Naomi from Vermont This was my second tour traveling with Sights and Soul and I can’t rave enough about how well the tour was organized. The People of Portugal, the food and the hotels were all wonderful. I enjoyed listening to our local guides explaining the history of Portugal and Angela was wonderful, well organized and very helpful in making suggestions for places to visit during the free time. Wonderful tour, can’t say enough of this! – Sonia from New York Each city had its special moments. I enjoyed meeting the young Meiko, as well as the inn in Matsumoto. Also, this was not a typical “tourist” experience. I very much enjoyed meeting the various artisans in their homes, as well as being able to attend a Buddhist tea ceremony and Shinto ceremony. Becky and the local guides were excellent, they made sure that everything ran smoothly and that everyone had something to do during the free time. – Diane from New Jersey Pompeii was impressive, as was dining with the ladies at exceptional places with great food. Marta was exceptional, couldn’t ask for more! This was my third women-only tour group, and none is even close to this one. – Linda from Pennsylvania From start to finish it was perfect. Marta was outstanding. The women on the tour were outstanding. The meals were outstanding. The professional local guides were outstanding. The whole trip: Bellissimo! – Kathy from Pennsylvania I really enjoyed all 3 tours: wonderful guides, great food, everyone got along well, a memorable experience. So glad I did these 3 (Morocco, Spain, Portugal) in a row. In many cases, history just flowed and connected from one to the other. Marta, Kerry and Angela were all great tour leaders, each with a different personality and style of leading, but all equal in greatly enhancing their trip. – Andrea from Nevada Every day was a new and wonderful discovery of Portugal’s history. Portugal is a beautiful place to visit: it’s clean, people are friendly, and the historical sights are astounding. I tell everyone about Sights and Soul. Got 2 people to sign up already. It is absolutely the best women’s tour group around. They take care of planning everything perfectly. Thanks Angela and staff. – Deborah from New Jersey I think the tour was great. We really did see some wonderful sights of Spain in a short time and had a terrific group of ladies to share it with. I am so thrilled I went on this tour. – Sharon from Pennsylvania Lots of variety and something for everyone: fado music, wineries, religious sites, castles, seafood, cliffs and sandy beaches, shopping. How could you ask for anything more? – Donna from Texas It was one of those “Pinch me, I can’t believe I’m here” moments. – Lou from Florida I absolutely love the tours that S&S set up. Sights and Soul Travels is the best of all women travel groups. Japan was a wonderful part of the world to travel to. I loved the cherry blossoms, the bamboo forest, and the ryokan in Matsumoto. – Terri from Colorado This is a note to all older women who may consider travel with this wonderful tour group. My "travel buddy" and I recently returned from the Spectacular Australia tour. We are both in our late 70's, curious, active, and enthusiastic travelers. This tour was so well planned and organized that we could participate in every activity at our own pace and level. We never felt that we had to do everything scheduled. Our co-travelers were social, enthusiastic, and much younger, and that was fine. Hotels were carefully selected for locale, size, and quality. Our tour leader made everyone feel special. Such attention had been paid to detail before we even got there, so days were full and seamless in the flow of activity. Our views were listened to daily. So if you are in doubt about whether or not this tour group is for you, doubt no more. We have traveled all over the world for many years, and this tour was the best! Hands down! Now if someone could just shorten the flight time, it would be perfect! Pack and go! Do it! – Lois from New Mexico I feel that S&S Travels is well worth the money. They’ve put together a great trip. I can always count on them. Just wish they went to more destinations. – Dianne from Alaska I loved the cooking class and of course the camel ride into the sunset. But I simply loved the whole experience. Kind of magical. Thank you so much for another tour that was beyond my wildest dreams. – Renee from New York Morocco was fantastic. We hit all the “must see” places & I loved every minute. I loved Fes! And Marta really cares about each person’s comfort and happiness and it shows! – Victoria from New Jersey I love S+S tours! I’ve made life long friends. I sleep in luxury, but experience real cultural experiences. And Myanmar was a fantastic place to visit. The people were exceptional! – Diane from Colorado Wonderful trip, lots of new things to experience. Wonderful people – extremely interesting. – Judy from Oregon The tour was at a good pace with enough free time to explore or go to a spa. Mr. Oo and Becky were a perfect team to guide this group. I laughed quite a bit, learned a lot about Myanmar and truly loved the opportunity to visit this beautiful country. – Elizabeth from Connecticut I felt very pampered – which can be very nice. It was good to see two countries that are so different in how they have progressed into the 21st century. Both this tour and the tour to South Africa made me want to learn more about sub-Saharan Africa. Kerry mixed well with everyone and was open and energetic. I can think of nothing that could have been done differently and would be very pleased to have her as the leader of one of my future tours. – Diana from Washington This tour was a lifetime destination I have always desired and I am thrilled to have gone with S&S. You’re great! – Vicki from Colorado I love traveling with S+S. I love that the group size is small enough not to feel lost in as a solo traveler, but large enough to find camaraderie. I appreciate S+S’s attention to detail. – Lynn from New York This was my second tour with S+S. Everything from Kerry, our tour leader, guides and accommodations and food were perfect. The other ladies were friendly and welcoming. I will definitely travel with S&S again. – Karen from Oklahoma It was such a wonderful and diverse tour in every way, showing the best that South Africa offers, and I felt very pampered. – Diana from Washington It was my first time with you & I absolutely will do it again. Everything was arranged for me, so all I had to do was enjoy! – Sally from Ohio Victoria Falls – a beauty to behold. Chobe where you can see the hippos play + eat + crocodiles lounge! What a place! This was my 5th trip with S+ST. The plan for visiting these exotic countries with a planned itinerary was set up for maximum enjoyment. Kerry did a great job. – Karla from Colorado I so enjoyed this tour. I came home with a sense of well-being and calmness. Was it observing nature at its finest moments? Perhaps! A trip of a lifetime! – Karla from Colorado First of all, I have never seen such attention to detail from any tour company. I was equally impressed by the personal, prompt responses to any questions I had prior to departure. Second, the tour leader only added to the experience. Kerry was efficient, calm and caring. Having her with us, I knew that any glitches or mishaps would only be minor inconveniences. Overall, the itinerary and the group itself was wonderful. – Laura from South Carolina Wonderful experience jam packed with interesting tours, time to explore on one’s own and picturesque towns and scenery. I would definitely travel with you again. – Pat from Virginia It was very well organized and all our tour guides were excellent with emphasis on the ones we had in Beijing, Guilin and Shanghai. I cannot imagine those girls being any better than they were. No tour is complete without great travelling companions and the women on this tour with wonderful to travel with. We had an awful lot of fun. The lunch we had in Beijing was excellent. The restaurant was beautiful as well and of course, the Peking Duck was unsurpassed. – Charlotte from Nova Scotia S+S Travels thoroughly impressed me and made my first overseas trip very memorable. Thank you! Kerry was wonderful, I can’t think of a single thing she could have done differently, she took good care of us, made the trip fun / enjoyable. – Sharon from Michigan I had followed S&S for a couple of years on FB and finally decided to book a trip 'last minute' for me as I plan usually six months, plus, ahead. I pride myself in being organized and detailed oriented and was very pleased that I "met my match" in what you delivered for information through the whole trip process and even before booking by way of how your website is designed with the information and now in the follow up email. I am very impressed with S&S and all of the kudos I have read on the FB page over the past two years are spot on. Yolanda and her team run an incredible company. You make me feel as if I am family from the time I booked the tour and only an exceptional company and people can do that...and you and the whole team are just that, exceptional. I have shared my positive experience even before the tour commenced and will continue to share as time passes. Since I already have a couple of personal trips planned for 2017, I shall be looking at the 2018 calendar of trips with much interest and enthusiasm. Thank you again and kudos to all on the team. – Dot from New Hampshire An outstanding adventure. China has so much influence on our world, it was important to learn something about them. The tour was fascinating and well designed. Hotels were top notch. The group was great, and I just can't say enough about Marlene. She was so friendly, caring and helpful. A wonderful young woman. – Paddi from Alberta This was my 1st tour with Sights + Soul. It was a wonderful experience. I know we saw + experienced so much in China and the trip was care-free. Every detail was planned and the people were so friendly. – Vera from Illinois First experience with an all-women travel group. I was favorably impressed. It was great! Lots to see and do every day. Great accommodations and wonderful food. Well organized, ran smoothly, plenty of variety in activities. Marta and Peter did a great job. Peter is certainly a wonderful ambassador for Scotland! – Cathy from Ontario Overall, the tour was very enjoyable. S+S gave me the courage to travel solo, and have a good time in the process. – Connie from New York This is my 3rd tour with Sights and Soul, and I have loved each one of them. This was a great tour, met some lovely women. Choice of restaurants was excellent. I am always talking to my women friends and people I meet about what an excellent tour company Sights and Soul is. – Susan from Florida My opinion is that the tour was well thought out. Locations selected were very nice. I LOVED the Belpoggio. Teresa was great. Very friendly and helpful, concerned that women were having their needs met and enjoying themselves. – Tracy from Michigan The Paris and Provence tour was beautiful. For me, I loved the dinner in the Eiffel Tower and going up to it. I had been to France many, many years ago and didn’t remember much. The tour exceeded my expectations, as Sights and Soul always does. It was magical, and Marta was an amazing tour leader. She is patient, understanding, knowledgeable and fun. – Tiffany from Wisconsin The small group format is perfect for navigating places and having a personal experience. The tour was well organized with a variety of activities. Lodging and meals were just right and provide big bang for the buck. Marta was perfect: watchful, interesting & interested, prepared and organized. – Diane from Washington This was an amazing tour. I always wanted to go to Rome. S+S knows how to put together vacations. – Theresa from New York I appreciate how every detail is managed, resulting in a well organized tour with still some flexibility. I love that you do not have early morning starts. The tour leader was excellent – very helpful and friendly. – Faye from Michigan It was such a fantastic overview of the Roman history, with all the highlights + as always, the women we travelled with were awesome! Renata is so special. She makes everyone feel comfortable and important, and her enthusiasm is infectious. The individual guides were really amazing. – Tammy from New Jersey This is a very well organized, exciting, fun tour of Greece. We had the perfect amount of time in each city and great restaurants for our meals. The guides were all very informative and funny. Becky was amazing. Her calm, patience and full experience of Greece made it an outstanding event. Every detail was terrific and on mark. – Cherrielynn from Hawaii The tour was very relaxing with the right amount of history balanced with other activities: sailing, wineries and cooking.

I learned something new every minute I was there. I also loved the wonderful women in our group. – Monica from Ohio This was a wonderful way to see a lot of Ireland all in one trip. Excellent tour! – Kim from Maryland Sights and Soul is the most detailed and organized travel company I have used. All accommodations and attractions are well researched – top notch!

Thank you for a wonderful experience! – Melissa from Ohio Marlene was amazing! Her personality is so engaging, and she is well versed in the arts and history. Thank you for organizing a wonderful trip. The tour was spectacular. We were able to see all of the history and magic of Paris with the ease of knowing that our tour guide had us in the best hands. She went above and beyond to show us the hidden treasures of Provence. It was all breath taking. I loved this trip! The more meals included, the better I like it, especially French meals! The tour leader was very knowledgeable about France, organized, cheerful and enthusiastic. Thank you for a wonderful, magical experience. Every day was filled with excitement, good food and wonderful new friendships that I now treasure. Becky was a wonderful guide and hopefully I will be able to travel again with Sights and Soul again. – Rhoda from Florida OMG--how can I explain my experience? This was one of the top 3 trips (in my 69 years). I did NOT want it to end. I am re-living/savoring every moment. The hotel choices were on the mark.

Molto bene! – Lucille from Connecticut The tour far exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were outstanding, the food was terrific, the itinerary was perfect, and I loved that we got to see and experience so much.

I would stay there again in a heartbeat. – Karen from Illinois This was a great tour. Excellent excursions were included, great guides, restaurants were fantastic. Other tour participants were friendly. We had a great time. – Tina from Massachusetts The all woman, small, intimate group was just what I was looking for.

This is my third S&S tour. And after each one I’ve thought “well, there’s no way to top that trip” – but then the next trip blows me away even more than the last one! The safari in particular was amazing! The accommodations, staff, food – everything at Kapama was fabulous. It felt so luxurious, the people were so warm and genuine, but the wildlife were definitely the stars! I didn’t really imagine we would see so many animals and so close. It almost didn’t seem real. It was a dream come true. – Andrea from Ohio The trip was well planned and organized efficiently. The guides from the various locations were knowledgeable. Our tour leader went above and beyond to ensure our group was informed on all aspects of the tour. She was extremely helpful, had a terrific attitude and I enjoyed having her in Spain. There is nothing she could have done differently. I’ve traveled with another women’s group before and did not receive this top of the line service. I will be traveling again and again with Sights and Soul. – Rafiya from New York It was a great time – lots of culture, art, history, fine food and great fellow travelers. The tour leader was thoughtful, personable and flexible. THANK YOU. – Amy from Massachusetts S+S runs a great tour company. I always tell people how carefully they select guides, hotels, restaurants, businesses, etc. I felt totally safe with your company, and I know you will always strive to do your best, you have a good balance of various activities and something for every interest. Bravo, S+S! – Kathleen from Washington It was the right cities + sights and for the right number of days in each location. All transportation arrived on time and we were usually a little early – a good thing! The local guides were all good, but those in Madrid and Barcelona were excellent. – Victoria from New Jersey I am so very pleased to have experienced traveling with Sights + Soul – very well organized + all accommodations were great. – Rhea from Arizona The trip to Morocco was just as wonderful as I expected it to be. The itinerary, the hotels, the group, and our wonderful guide, Renata, provided an experience I doubt anyone will forget. My sincere thanks to you, S&S, and Renata for providing the trip of a lifetime to fourteen very lucky ladies. Mohammed, also, was an excellent guide. – Martha from Caifornia Itinerary – great, accommodations and meals – great, other travelers – fun.

He was able to build on the history as we went. – Susan from Arizona Egypt was magical, and it was the smoothest, best run tour I have ever taken. – Wendy from Maryland The Egypt trip was so much more than I even expected or hoped it would be. The connectivity between the tour leader and the Egyptologist guide made the tour a pleasure – all the logistics came off seamlessly. – Maria from Illinois My desicion to go on this tour was one of my best decisions of the last five years. I have traveled extensively, but the ancient treasures of Egypt leave one unable to speak, and then reconsider the history of civilization. – Alice from Georgia Once again, you thought of everything. Thank you for making my 10th trip with S+S so memorable. – Andrea from Nevada This was my 5th trip with S+S. It was amazing! I especially enjoyed the game drives. It was incredible to see all of the animals – “the Big 5” – Too Cool! It was a trip of a lifetime. And Becky was always organized, calm and very friendly. She makes you feel welcome and safe in an unknown area of the world. The S+S tours are always well prepared, and I have enjoyed all 5 tours that I have taken. Thank you for making my travel dreams possible. – Julie from Arizona I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the 3 African countries. The safaris were my favorite. It was a spiritual trip for me to see the animals free in their natural habitats. I loved the hotels, food, shopping, excursions, etc. , and I thought Becky did a great job filling us in on everything from the safaris to where to eat, shop, safety tips, etc. – Kat from Virginia As always, traveling with Sights and Soul is a wonderful, almost hassle-free way of experiencing new destination, as well as meeting new friends. – Denise from Indiana Dropping you a line to tell you that I thought the trip to Peru was a fabulous experience. Just now sorting through pictures and remembering the journey. The "sights" we saw, the people we met, gave us a bird's eye view of the "soul" of the beautiful country. Marlene was a great leader. I also loved Yvette as a local guide who was with us for several days and Jean Jacques' honest approach to Machu Picchu. – Paula from Connecticut Hotel selections: A+ / Tour Guides: A+ / Meals: A+ / Itinerary: A+ / Peruvian People: A+ – Phoebe from California This trip was magical. Everything was decorated for Christmas, the markets are quaint and fun, it beats the “big box” stores, and it brought back the magic of Christmas.

Just delightful! – Sue from Kansas This was my third SST trip; I keep coming back because each experience surpasses the previous one.

The pace was perfect, the accommodations were exceptional, and the visits to Isla Suasi, the Chinchero Textile Center and to the indigenous peoples will remain memories of a lifetime. I found no other tour company with such a fabulous itinerary. Thank you for an awesome adventure! – Carole from Pennsylvania It was more than I imagined it would be. Exploring Provence with Marlene was exceptional and meeting other women in the tour was great. Everything was just delightful! I truly loved staying at Mas des Carassins, it was exquisite and the staff was terrific. Thank you! – Theresa from New York I enjoyed Ireland. I thought it was a wonderful itinerary. I was impressed with the hotel and restauant selections. – Wendy from Maryland I felt that I saw the best Scotland has to offer with a great group of interesting & intelligent ladies. I have memories for a lifetime. Love Sights & Soul! – Mia from California The trip was a balanced blend of touring antiquities and fun activities, such as cooking class, visiting wineries and a catamaran sail. We also had adequate free time. Our local guides were extremely knowledgeabe and Becky was wonderful. Her expertise and patience kept tour running smoothly. – Nancy from Virginia Argentina was fantastic - such a vibrant and exciting country! The food, the sights and the people are outstanding. Kerry is a great tour leader as she has a great sense of humour and she is patient, enthusiastic, and concerned about everyone. Thanks for another wonderful travel experience. – Pam from Alberta I experienced a taste of Greece with a well organized, worry-free tour. Travel was comfortable, food was fantastic and the fellow travellers were great freinds by the end. I would recommend this trip 100%! – Mary from Maine It was a wonderful tour – full of natural beauty, great food and laughter. The people I met were outstanding, I would travel with them again. The restaurants you picked were superb as usual. Loved the hotel in Amalfi. People were very friendly towards us.

Great hotels, great restaurants and even great weather :) – Jean from Michigan Thank YOU for a wonderful trip and the opportunity to see and appreciate a different culture and way of life. I was so impressed with how well-planned and well-organized everything was, and especially the tour leader’s ability to make each and every one of us feel special. I know that I speak for the members of our group when I say that your business sets the bar very very high for other tour groups. I will DEFINITELY be traveling with Sights and Souls again in the future. – Victoria from Maryland Rome was a great and exciting experience for me. It was a pleasure to share this experience with new, fun and adventurous women. I hope to see some of you on future Sights and Souls adventures. – Joanne from Missouri It was a really nice trip! I look forward to doing another Sights and Soul tour again sometime. – Joanne from California So many wonderful memories to keep reliving. Every place was special and this was because of the thoroughness in which you plan and organize a tour, communication with us and your choice in regional guides and having experienced Sights and Soul tour directors. Becky is an amazing tour director and I am very pleased to have been on this adventure with her. Your company's success is definitely apparent by your returning tour members. I am looking forward to the next tour I have reserved. All the best to you both and the whole Sights and Soul team. – Jane Anne from Washington You've certainly put together a wonderful tour of Greece! I loved the variety of activities; some history/culture, adventure, exploration, relaxation and all-around spoiling. The private catamaran tour was delightful and the food magnificent! Becky is an amazing tour leader! Sweet, warm, informative, and amazingly organized! Each and every meal, accommodation, mode of transportation and connection was done seamlessly. She is truly a gem! – Rita from Michigan I had a fabulous time! Lake Como was breathtaking, Venice was magical, and the short stay in modern vs. medieval Milan was the perfect way to start off our journey. Although we had a busy daily itinerary, there was still enough free time built into each day to catch one's breath and have the freedom to do other things. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, but it was really Teresa who made it all happen. She’s a treasure and I can't say enough good things about her. I'm sure her job is not easy, but she made it all look effortless, and really made the trip a huge success. I have enough great memories from this trip to last a lifetime, and I look forward to traveling with Sights and Soul again...hopefully soon! – Amy from New York You have a wonderful program and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Greece. New friends and new places. Thank you to all for making this a lifetime memory! – Mary from Maine Thank you for the never ending and caring way you do business. Your tours are the greatest. And a special note goes out to Becky for her efficient and pleasant way of handling a variety of personalities and concern. You are blessed to have her as part of your company. I can't wait to share my photos and travel experiences with my family and friends. I know they will be jealous. – Linda from Illinois Marlene was knowledgeable, caring, had a can-do attitude and was always smiling. She truly is a gem. I also want to say thank you to all our other tour guides and bus drivers who made all our excursions go so smoothly. I would recommend Sights and Soul to anyone interested in traveling with a group and if the opportunity arises I would love to travel with you again. – Lois from New York I enjoyed everything about the Iceland tour. The scenery was gorgeous, the planned activities were fun & interesting, the local guide was extremely informative & professional, Renata was helpful, the women were friendly and fun, there was enough free time for individual interests, and the hotel had a convenient location with a very efficient staff. Thank you for the wonderful vacation! – Susan from Nebraska Sights + Soul has been my travel “to go” group for 5 years. I am always happy and secure on every trip. Never has there been a problem. I am proud to travel with S + S! The Ireland tour was fantastic and fun, and Kerry was delightful. She is smart, energetic and fun to travel with. She is very caring. I hope to travel with her again soon! All the activities around Killarney were truly memorable. Fantastic hotel & food! My idea of Ireland! – Kim from Texas Ireland is a wonderful country to visit. The people are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you. This was a fun filled and adventurous tour. Sights & Soul does not disappoint. They make sure to exceed your expectations. Sights & Soul, to me, is a step above the other travel groups I have toured with. – Elona from Florida Fabulous time. I recommend this tour company to others whether you go alone or with friends. Perfect way to see a country and make new friends. Great location of tour hotels. And Renata was a perfect mix between Mary Poppins and Julie McCoy: always prepared, with a smile on her face. – Meg from Oregon A memorable tour not to be missed. Lisa was wonderful: patient, accommodating, friendly and helpful. An asset to the tour. – Virginia from Maryland The tour was extremely well organized, offered unique experiences + had the exactly the right balance of activity and free time.

I would definitely go back. – Barbara from Texas Very well planned, smoothly run trip, and a lot of fun: I have to say I haven’t laughed for a whole week in a long time. – Joyce from California This tour company is fabulous! I was hesitant and not quite sure what to expect but loved every part of it – the other women travelers, our Tour Guide, accommodations – I will be on another trip soon! – JoAnn from California It was a wonderful trip and it was very well planned. All the women were lovely, and I had a fantastic time. – Marie from Pennsylvania This was an amazing trip – fun and educational. I appreciate all the care and time that went into planning every detail of this wonderful trip. Renata was the best. The trip was so much more meaningful because of her willingness to share her experiences &her knowledge of the history /area. – Meg from Oregon Everything was so well organized and easy. Becky was low keyed, efficient and friendly, and Teddy was a fantastic guide: personable, knowledgeable and fun! Iceland is a wonderful country, it’s so peaceful, clean and welcoming, and the landscape is absolutely stunning. You didn’t have to think about anything, just enjoy. – Sydney from Alabama I wanted to thank you and Sights and Soul for providing a beautiful, active trip to Iceland. It was effortless on my part, well planned with wonderful activities and sights. – Carolyn from Idaho It was a phenomenal experience – exceeded my expectations by 100%! We couldn’t have had a better guide or local tour guides. The “extra experiences” Sights and Soul offered – a vineyard picnic, cooking with the chef, were over the top. – Nina from South Carolina The tour was extremely well organized. I didn’t have to think about any arrangements. Loved the hotel and restaurant selections, and I appreciated all the information sent before the trip. So happy to travel with only 14 people: the women enjoyed being together and watched out for one another. – Gloria from Maryland Thanks to Sights and Soul I definitely caught a travel bug. The Greece tour was fantastic. It was my second Sights and Soul tour (I did Eastern Europe last year), and Greece has always been a dream destination of mine, so my expectations were very, very high - and it still exceeded them by a lot. It will be hard to top! And Becky was fantastic – she was calm, organized, and professional, but she was also nice and really fun to hang out with. By the end of the tour, I felt like she was a friend I’d want to travel with again. – Andrea from Ohio I want to thank you for creating your superb tour, the Jewels of Eastern Europe. This tour was one of the best travel experiences of my life. I particularly appreciated how you created a sense of community and comradeship early on by getting us to introduce ourselves by email. And then there was Marta, wow, this woman is the Michelangelo of tour leaders, in the way she set the tone of the group and the way she guided and led us so professionally, with such genuine care and concern, always calm and unflappable, so patient with each one of us. Her whole focus was on creating the very best experience she could for each of us every single day, it was all about us. – Janifer from Victoria, Australia I just returned from my fourth Sights and Soul tour to Eastern (Central) Europe and I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate the care and quality you put into these trips. Having worked as a quality professional throughout my career, I have very high standards and am often disappointed with the services provided by companies today. Sights and Soul Travels not only does not disappoint, but exceeds my expectations every time. The weather sometimes does not cooperate, but everything under your control is always well planned, organized and executed. The hotels, food, itineraries and local guides are great and I cannot say enough about the caring tour directors who always go above and beyond to make sure each tour is the trip of a lifetime. It is rare for someone to care as much as you do and I just wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU! – Karen from Florida I have nothing but great things to say about this tour: from food, hotels and the varieties of experiences, this trip was spectacular. Clearly Sights and Soul Travels does their homework. Becky, the tour leader was the epitome of patience. No questions was ever asked too often. She gave clear directions, was always there for every traveler. – Joan from New York I loved this tour! The combination of natural beauty, artistic perfection, wonderful cities and small towns was just great. Each day brought more adventures to be excited about. The hotels, especially in Bruges, were wonderful. Adored Grand Casselburg Hotel. Food was glorious. The restaurants were so well chosen, great food and atmosphere. Finally, what a great group of women were on this tour! I’ve made a bunch of new friends with whom I look forward to traveling. – Amy from Massachusetts This tour was amazing, from the food, sights, smells and the group of people. I have wanted to see the Netherlands and Belgium for as I can remember, and this trip exceeded my expectations and will be the trip I will always remember. Marta was amazing. She brought the tour to life and has the patience of a saint! – Tiffany from Wisconsin Everything about this trip was well planned, the hotels, the restaurants, the activities, the sights, our tour leader – all outstanding. – Cynthia from Pennsylvania If a picture is worth a thousand words, than being there is worth a million. This was an exceptional trip. I was swept over with emotion at the beauty of the tulip fields and the flowers at the Keukenhof Gardens. The entire tour was one great experience after another, I will definitely go with Sights and Soul Travels again. Thanks again to Marta, she was a wonderful tour guide. – Beverly from Florida The tour was very well run and informative. Angela has a wonderful spirit. Her enthusiasm is contagious. – Gayle from Oregon The trip was Awesome! Marvelous! Fantastic---as always. The choices of activities, accommodations, and restaurants were superb. On a scale of 10, this trip gets an 11. Thank you and many thanks to Marta who made this trip a success. The choreographing of schedules is complex and Marta made it seamless and transparent and did so cheerfully. She is a real pro at herding cats! I can't wait for the next trip with Sights and Souls. – Connie from Oregon It was great! Loved the day trips and exposure to new parts of the Spanish culture. I know so much more about Spain now. Kerry was a great tour leader. Friendly and handled every detail of traveling . She fit in as a friend, who had answers to most every question, and took care of the details that would have been intimidating to me – navigating train stations and metro systems, handling hotels. It was so relaxing knowing that she will handle all the details. – Kathy from Ohio It was the perfect mix of history, culture & fun. The incredible food and drink didn’t hurt, either. Kerry went out of her way to make sure everyone had the best time possible & didn’t have to worry about anything. – Beverly from Maryland It was great. I was in awe of the sights, culture and food, and I can’t wait for the next tour! Kerry was very personable, she did a very good job as a tour leader. – Diane from Texas I am sad to leave Portugal! I have had a wonderful time visiting and exploring the history, delicious seafood and my favorite custard tarts (Nata!). Angela was a lovely host and I had a very relaxing time! The quaint coastal town of Cascais was my favorite! I could live there. Portugal was definitely the hidden gem which exceeded all my expectations in a vacation destination! Loved it! Learned so much about the culture, religion, and history. Great experience. – Laura from Tennessee Becky was a great tour director. The local guides were excellent. The accommodations (especially Kapama) were wonderful, as were all of the staff! I celebrated my 60th b'day while at Kapama and Becky made it very special + memorable, and I was absolutely surprised when the staff sang, danced and made me an awesome b'day cake! – Sylvia from Virginia Walking through castles was intriguing, the dining and hotels were superior, the Christmas markets atmosphere was magical, Renata was a fantastic tour leader, and the fellowship of new friends with like desire to travel made it a perfect vacation. – Cathy from Oklahoma This tour was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. Everything was top-notch from the tour organization, leader + local guides, quality of accommodation + total experience. I compared a number of tour companies before deciding to travel to Peru with Sights + Soul. The quality of the experience – sites visited, guides, hotels, etc., provided good value. – Nancy from Ontario I experienced so many wonderful new things it would be hard to single out one best thing. Each day brought something new. I had so longed to experience Peru that I just literally soaked it all up. Marlene was great! She went above and beyond what I thought a tour leader would do. In general, this tour exceeded my expectations! I learned so much and got to experience so much of the culture of Peru! – Rexanna from Missouri This was my 1st time out of the US & the experience was great for a travel beginner. We were kept in the loop leading up to the trip & all concerns and questions were answered. Renata was Awesome! Loved It! I can’t wait for my next trip. – Shirley from California I travelled with my daughter and we had a great time. We were on the go the whole time, and Renata made sure we were happy. She did this from the beginning to the end of the trip. She made us all feel like we were the only one traveling with her, and made every person feel welcome. I had no stress only enjoyment. – Elizabeth from Ontario My first women-only tour – very unique and fun. What was the best experience? Everything! My sister and I had a ball sightseeing and being with everyone! Renata was great. Even when we had local guides, she always had something interesting to add. Smart lady! – Candy from Florida Peru was the trip of a lifetime. Marlene was wonderful – could not have been better. I love traveling with SST. – Karen from Florida The Peru trip was excellent. Marlene was awesome. Always looking out for us, addressed any concerns, and stayed calm in all situations. The entire tour was fantastic. The hotels were perfect and the agenda was packed, so I saw everything I wanted to see, too! – Julia from New York A once in a lifetime experience. Money well spent. Had access to artists and events in Kyoto and Tokyo usually not available to other tours. Great group of women to travel with. – Melissa from Georgia The Japan tour was everything I had hoped for and more. We had experiences vs. just “seeing the sights”. I also enjoyed meeting the other women. Please keep this approach to your tours! – Marilee from Georgia I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed Peru - the people, the food and the sights were fabulous. On a side note, the hotel in Cusco was outstanding - I loved the blend of old and new. Marlene was a great tour leader. She is patient, enthusiastic and always upbeat! Thank you for arranging such an interesting tour! – Pam from Alberta I can’t say enough about the Peruvian trip. Marlene’s enthusiasm and the local guides made the trip very special. The Peruvian accommodations were excellent since I so believe in nature conservation and environmental protection. The theme of Andean Women’s Culture was woven throughout and very evident. The visits to see the ancient native communities of Cuyuni and the Uros reed isles people were outstanding. The food was delicious (best & most consistent of any trips I can remember) since I could tell no pesticides or artificial chemicals. The Andean scenery, animals and botanical flowers were a sight to behold. I took over 600 photos. We were blessed with very good weather. The group of ladies were varied and fun. I made some special friendships. I came home satisfied and a smile on my face that I had seen/learned everything I had expected and much MORE. – Lou from Florida Kerry was a fantastic tour leader. She has a great problem solving ability (a record rainfall in Buenos Aires), great sense of humor and a positive attitude. I would love to travel with her again. – Arnetta from Florida Loved it! It was a trip of a lifetime, and I’m so glad I decided to book with Sights and Soul. The places we visited and the people we met along the way in Argentina couldn’t have been better, and I enjoyed it all. Kerry was ever helpful, and we had plenty of issues (rain and delays), and she handled them all with class and great skill. – Julia from California When you talk to new clients who are hesitant about travelling with Sights & Soul, feel free to have them contact me and I will be more than happy to endorse your trips. Travelling with you and the other tour leaders has been absolutely wonderful for me. – Barbara from Missouri Thank you to all the Sights & Soul Travel folks for producing this amazing experience in France!! And a special Thank You for being very responsive to our needs. Your care & concern for your clients & staff shine through all you do. See you again on the adventure trail. – Mary Ann from Pennsylvania I am so glad I took the leap and traveled with SST. This was my first travel abroad and it couldn’t have been easier. Hotel and their staff were great and Rome was fairly easy to navigate on your own during free time. Our tour director couldn’t have been nicer; she was actually one of us in spirit. – Linda from Texas I had a wonderful time and finally understood why girls like summer camps. – Kathy from Vermont Austria tour was a great value, I got much more than I expected. Renata was an excellent trip leader. She was warm and friendly, always in a professional way, I really enjoyed her leadership and expertise on this trip. – Jean from New York Such a great tour!!

I hope I get a chance to travel with her again. – Lynne from Massachusetts I really enjoyed the wine tasting and picnic in the vineyard, but meeting 12 amazing women was the best! Becky was awesome. She took time to get to know all of us & went out of her way to make our experience the best it could be. – Jackie from New Jersey Love it! Love it! Love it! I love traveling with your groups, will always. You choose the most talented tour leaders (patient), food, attractions, all are 1st class all the way, down to transportation. I will never travel with another group. – Dean from Texas I have traveled around the world with many different companies & Sights+Soul is right at the top with staff, itinerary, experiences and value. There were so many peak experiences in France that it is impossible to pick one, but if pressed it would be the “amazing” Becky! – Mary Ann from Pennsylvania It was a trip of a lifetime. I wake up every day thinking I may have dreamed it. It was perfect in every day. – Kimberly from New Hampshire I loved the variety of activities on the Austria tour: museums, boat rides, ice caves, a concert, cable car rides, and a cog-wheel railroad trip! And this was one of the nicest groups of women I’ve ever traveled with. No whiners, no complainers, no primadonnas. Everyone was friendly, inclusive and punctual. – Annika from Illinois I just wanted to send you a quick email and let you know what a great trip and experience the France 2 trip was for me. From my initial decision to select your company for the trip to everything since then, it has been one of the best travel decisions I've made. I also wanted to let you know that Becky Ballering is a wonderful tour guide - she made the experience so easy and fun for all of us. Thanks to you and your team at Sights and Souls! I hope to travel again with you in the future. – Marilyn from Texas We do a lot of traveling. We have traveled with many, many tour operators. S+S compares very favourably. Good planning info was provided. The guide was informed + welcoming, and she dealt with the inevitable “hiccup” very well. We would very much consider another S+S tour. – Kathy from Ontario The tour exceeded my expectations. Paris and the Provence was a beautiful experience and Becky was always kind, thoughtful and considerate. Her help in every instance was much appreciated by myself and everyone else on the tour. – Betty from Manitoba Ireland was wonderful. The friendly Irish people, the ancient landmarks and great experiences (Riverdance, story-telling and music, Newgrange, Dingle Peninsula) made this a 5-star tour! I especially enjoyed Tadgh, our driver/guide. He was so interesting, informative and funny, too. Joan was just a top-notch tour leader, always upbeat and pleasant! She kept us on schedule and informed. Hope to travel with her again! – Rose Ann from Texas Thank you for a fabulous trip, Marta is a wonderful guide and so was Greg, when my head clears I will write more (jet lag). You did not leave anything out. I have been on many tours this was one of the best. As were the guides. – Shirley from Maryland I'm back in California... and sharing my memories of this most educational trip with friends and family. Who would have thought that Poland is a culinary destination! Marta did an outstanding job.... Everyone we met was friendly and hospitable. Loved the variety of experiences we had....rafting, horse and carriage rides, major cities and the gorgeous Tatra Mtns....lots of history... – Marna from California Poland was fabulous. I was always reluctant to go on a group tour, but this was more like traveling with a bunch of friends. Thanks for planning such an excellent experience and thank you so much to Greg, and of course Marta, for being such outstanding guides and travel companions. – Debby from Maryland Wonderful experience, great companions on the tour. Restaurants and hotels were very good. I really enjoyed Croatia, and would love to return someday. This is my second tour with Sights and Soul, and I thoroughly enjoyed both tours. – Susan from Florida I wanted to take a moment to send you a quick email and let you know how much of an awesome time we both had in Ireland, Joan was a wonderful leader and a true pleasure to travel with. I had a fabulous time, and cannot wait until the next trip! – Joanne from Maryland Croatia is a beautiful country with excellent food + wine. This tour provides a mix of history + culture but the highlight for me was the two days visiting the islands near Split and Dubrovnik. The water + sun are a beautiful combination. Add in a group of adventurous ladies + Renata, a great tour guide – it was a perfect vacation! – Beverley from Alberta We very much enjoyed the whole experience, much of which was the idea of a small group of women travelling together. Our tour guide, Marta, was first class not only in her knowledge of the cities we visited but in her very expert care she took of all of us. Your choice of hotels was excellent including accommodations, location and service; the staff in Budapest could have been a little friendlier. We loved it that all hotels were close to the city's vibrant sections for shopping, exploring and eating. Probably the biggest surprise were the amazing lunches and dinners; wonderful food with very generous menu choices in interesting and varied places, all in historic buildings. Certainly they were among the highlight of the trip. – Marcia from New York One of the best experiences of my life. A diverse and wonderful group of women made it extra special, and Becky was fantastic. Her love of travel and enthusiasm are contagious. – Deborah from British Columbia Greece was a blissful experience! My mom and I had a blast. Your company provided us with a wealth of historical information, fine dining and beautiful scenic views from our hotel rooms. Our tour guide, Becky, was compassionate, resourceful, and a wonderful hostess! – Tabbitha from Louisiana I want to thank you, Becky and everyone at Sights and Soul Travels for making our Greek tour such a memorable experience. I already miss all of the other women that I got to know on the trip and will never forget all of the exciting excursions, tours, boat rides, meals and shopping expeditions we packed into 10 short days. I look forward to traveling again with Sights and Soul Travels in the near future! – Judy from Maryland Becky did a superb job but it should have been called a foodies tour. From selecting each lunch item as we walked the Latin quarter, to the numerous wine, chocolate and tapenade tastings, the cooking class with a one star Michelin chef and lunch in a vineyard I felt I was in a dream and didn't want to wake up. In addition, our seats at the Moulin Rouge were excellent. Even the rain cooperated. Thanks to everyone who made this tour a huge success. – Lori from Missouri The trip was fantastique, magnifique, and way exceeded my expectations. The French were pleasant and helpful, the food phenomenal, the activities were educational, exciting, and I enjoyed every minute. Becky deserves a great amount of credit for herding us around a foreign country, keeping us organized and happy. Marlene was a fabulous tour guide. She has so much knowledge and was fun to be with. It is hard to place things in 1st or 2nd place but one of my most favorite experience was the picnic at Eddie Feraud's vineyard. Everything else is just a different shade of 1st place! It was a long 28 hour trip back home but worth every minute. I look forward to my next trip with Sights and Souls. – Connie from Oregon The Vietnam tour exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was excellent, well thought out and executed beautifully. Lunch @ the architect’s home was very special, loved the foodie tour in Saigon, and the setting for lunch on the Mekong was beautiful. – Jane from New York The S&S Africa trip was an adventure of a lifetime! The word that came to mind daily was "awesome" and it really did not describe all the great things we did and saw up close!!! Cape Town, Kapama Southern Camp and Victoria Falls...they were all wonderful. Deon, our Cape Town guide was the best ever. Betheul, my Kapama Ranger, was great at telling stories and he taught us so much about the animals. We saw them all! It was an amazing experience. Victoria Falls and our sunset cruise down the Zambezi River was a nice end to an amazing adventure! The hippo family was great to see. I will be talking about this trip for years to come. Great job Yolanta! Sights and Soul continues to be my first choice when I'm looking for a great destination and well planned itinerary. – Suzanne from Virginia It was all fantastic and Renata was fabulous. She made everyone comfortable, made sure to include and consider everyone's opinion and put everyone at ease. Being in Germany at Christmastime was like being in a real life Christmas card. – Tammy from New Jersey A truly wonderful experience, providing exposure to the beauty of Lake Como and the grandeur of Venice! – Cheryll from Maine I love traveling with you because I know you will choose some of the best sightseeing and food experiences for us, and I trust your choices in hotels. I know I will get a good overview of a destination. It’s a pleasure to learn from local guides who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. When we go to a crowded site, we usually get in the express lines. – Jan from Illinois This was my third S+S tour and it lived up to my expectations. A good combination of guided tours + free time. Our lunch in Verona was a highlight. Met a great group of like-minded women travelers. – Nancy from Virginia I had a fabulously fun time on my first organized group tour! It was truly enjoyable and EVERYTHING went superbly well from the flights, transportation, hotels, weather, guides, itinerary, food, food, wine, prosecco, wine, cheese, wine, new friends! There were definitely a lot of laughs and high spirits.. and Joan was the host with the most! – Julie from California We loved Lake Como, and we loved the hotel and the special view we had there. I will never forget the wonderful group we were part of – they are so very special to me, every one of them – you brought us all together and it was magic!! – Beverley from Massachusetts This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime, and I want to thank everyone involved for making my first trip abroad so great. Knowing that everything was so well coordinated made it possible for me to truly enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of Iceland. – Heather from Maryland This was my first all-women’s tour and I loved that, plus the small group. It was great to stay in one place for 5 nights and have everything so well arranged. – Sandy from Tennessee I cannot say enough about how much my daughter and I enjoyed our tour to Paris and Provence with Becky as our guide. The trip was beyond all expectations, it was truly more than Olivia and I could have imagined. If we had tried to see France on our own, we never would have explored so much diversity or met such fabulous locals and seen so much of what France is known for. It was a pleasure to have met women from all over the States and share stories and lots of laughter. I cannot wait to take my next trip with my daughter, Hannah through your fantastic travel company. – Karen from New York I think that the Eastern Europe tour was fabulous in every way. The restaurants that we attended as a group were wonderful and loads of fun. Marta was always attentive and very knowledgeable about the tour cities. – Beth from New York Everything was wonderful! Ireland is a glorious place to visit. The tour itinerary was perfect! Becky and our local guides were knowledgeable, flexible and fun! The hotels were interesting and first rate! the food was gourmet and delicious! Four stars! And the women who made up our group were charming, wonderful, independent, and terrific traveling companions! I loved every minute! Will absolutely do another trip with SST!! – Monica from Ohio The tour was well balanced to cover all interests, well organized for peace of mind and the women in the group were fabulous traveling companions. – Karen from Florida The trip was wonderful! I enjoyed every Irish adventure, everyday. Our bus driver was a fantastic storyteller, and I learned so much about Irish culture. The women on the tour were a great group. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime! – Gene from Virginia The London and the English Countryside tour was a wonderful expierence. The amazing itinerary, beautiful hotels and incredible food were made even better by the companionship of great women. I will definitely travel with Sights and Soul again. Also, I think that the samll, personal touches added so much to the overall experience. A birthday card, luggage accessories, and friendly, prompt e-mail replies were wonderful. I appreciated all the detailed information that was provided throughout the process. Can't wait to travel with you again! – Ronda from Texas It was a terrific opportunity to travel with other solo travelers and have company and good comeraderie. – Lynne from Massachussetts It was a wonderful and excellently planned tour of a beautiful and historic country. Good company, excellent tour guide and lots of fun. I will definitely consider S&S Tours for any future trips. – Rosemarie from Ohio You do everything upscale. I like that. From the moment you land until you take off for home. Everything is well planned and everything is the best that there is. – Meg from New York I totally enjoyed Iceland and would do it again in a heartbeat! – Karin from North Carolina Considering this was my first European vacation, I had the greatest experience and now I want more. We saw a lot of the country given the fact that it was only 10 days. I loved every minute of it. The ladies were great and Becky was fabulous. – Theresa from Ontario I thought it was a well planned trip. It is so good to be able to experience travel safely with other women. – Gloria from Arizona I have wanted to visit Ireland for 20 years and the wait was worth it! The 3 hotels were very different and each was special in its own way. Becky + the local guides were great, and the ladies in the group were an interesting + fun group! Thanks to everyone who made this trip such a great experience. – Sarah from Wisconsin The England tour was amazing from start to finish, far surpassing my expectations! My memories will always include the ladies in the group and Becky, our tour leader! – RoseAnn from Texas At first I was cautious about selecting a tour off the Internet. The informative web site and several write-ups in travle magazines convinced me to give it a try. The trip was so well organized and becky was just super. Loved it! – Faye from Michigan Austria was beautiful, clean and friendly. The tour hit the best of Austria with the mountains, lakes, Salzburg and Vienna, delicious food and quaint towns. Highly recommend. Renata was great! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Austria, I was amazed. She was also upbeat, positive and very organized. – Lori from Missouri Absolutely wonderful. Ireland is beautiful. Yolanta and Becky created our unforgettable tour. I cried when I left and I wasn't the only one. – Sheila from Montana Loved it. The group size, the selection of hotels, restaurants and itinerary are all awesome. – Karen from Delaware I enjoyed the Amalfi Coast very much. I loved our Hotels and the food. I loved the guides and our tours. The tour leader was very good and always made sure we all knew when and where we were to meet each day. I loved all of the towns that we visited. The tour of the buffalo mozzarella farm was fun as was the private boat ride. – Linda from Massachusetts Thank you so much for choosing such a wonderful person such as Teresa to lead our group through Italy! She always had a smile on her face, cheery words and an upbeat attitude, all the attributes required by a great leader. Visiting Italy and seeing all the sights and participating in all the activities you put together were excellent. My soul is rejuvenated! – Barb from Missouri I just returned from the Amalfi Coast tour- what a wonderful experience!!! Renata did a fabulous job as our "fearless leader." She has the patience of a saint! I hope to take another tour with her in the future. – Sarah from Wisconsin I cannot express how much this trip meant to me. Not only was the scenery incredible, the weather perfect, shopping fun, but the company was priceless. – Kathy from Georgia I did have a great time. (I'm not just saying that...really) Thank you for providing an experience that showed us the contrasts of Moroccan life - the cities, the mountains, villages, the great Sahara and the valley. – Paula from Connecticut We had a marvelous trip to Vietnam and Cambodia with Sights and Soul in March of 2012. It was well organized, the hotels were sensational, we hit the highlights and had additional adventures and experiences ie: cooking class, elephant ride, overnight on a luxury boat in Halong Bay. It was a packed itinerary but well planned to not leave us exhausted. I look forward to traveling with Sights and Soul again and have absolutely no reservations about recommending the services of this exceptional company. – Mara from Minnesota I recently returned from the Rome and Amalfi Coast trips with your company. I am finding it difficult to express how wonderful they both were. Like many women, I have a hubby that is a reluctant traveler but he encouraged me to find someone to travel with and enjoy myself. That's how I came across Sights & Soul. I searched the web, read reviews and recommendations and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did!!! The food--fantastic, the guides--knowledgeable, the sights--breathtaking, my fellow travelers--wonderful, wacky women!! And, of course, the tour leader was exceptional in every way, from keeping us informed to organizing every little detail of our tour. She worked out the occasional little "bump in the road" and made everything fun! I have often traveled alone but I must say, I enjoyed the guided tours and company of a small group of women. It was wonderful to not stand in line for admittance at the Vatican, etc. It definitely gave us more time to enjoy the actual sights. I loved the "freedom" of having someone else take care of the details so that I could just relish the trip itself. – Mary from Washington I loved every minute of it and will not hesitate to go again with you. Greece was one of the prettiest places I've ever seen. Great shopping, great sites. Great bunch of ladies - laughed a lot. – Nat from Maine Another perfect trip. Amazing sights, hotels in perfect locations, just the right group size, super food, terrific leader who comes from the region and speaks the language, etc., etc. Thanks Sights and Soul for giving me a chance to do what I like best - travel. I thought that that part of my life died with my husband, but thanks to Sights and Soul it didn't have to. You will never know how much it means to me and people like me. Thanks again. – Lynda from New Jersey I just want to say how pleased I am with the level of organization and care that you and your staff have already given us. I have never traveled with a tour before, and it is such a pleasure to not have to think about a thing! Thank you so much, I'm very excited to experience all you have planned. – Charlene from Pennsylvania It was perfect! An all women trip was like an ultimate, extended girls night out. I'm ready to go again. – Laura from Tennessee Loved it, loved it, loved it! The trip to Greece was an amazing trip of a lifetime! I hope to take more trips with Sights and Soul Travels in the future. Becky was an awesome tour leader! – Pam from Virginia This was my first all-girls small tour, having done several trips in the past 6 years with large tour operators with 35 or 40 travelers. Sights and Soul did not miss a beat on their Greek Isle Tour: hotels were awesome, food was beyond my expectations, nice balance of historic sights and museums, and then the cherry on top of the sundae for me was two-fold - the day on the yacht and the cooking class. All good things must come to an end, but this is surely one trip that I wished could have gone one, and on, and on! – Marie from North Carolina I am back at home, jetlagged and trying to catch up, but with a jeep load of wonderful memories. Thank you to you and your wonderful travel company for the trip of a lifetime. I appreciated your organization and attention to detail, which kept things running very smoothly. – Marina from Newfoundland, Canada I know it's a lot of hard work, but please keep doing what you're doing. I plan to be one of your clients for many years to come. – Barbara from Missouri This visit to Washington surpassed my expectations, the trip was most enjoyable and just a great experience. You offered a proper balance of sightseeing, culture and camaraderie. And I particularly love that you are happy to sit at meals for the proper amount of time. – Kitty from California The sights were all equally fabulous. What I enjoyed the most were all the other people and how we all hit it off so fast & easily, the dinners and accommodations were fantastic. The trip seemed to be for the correct length of time. I would have liked some more free time for shopping, although I really did like the flexibility shown by Yolanta. – Gayle from Hawaii I had a wonderful time sharing adventures in history and culture with women who became instant friends. I instantly felt welcome and included. This upscale tour company provides fantastic experiences in safe, welcoming environment, and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling alone or with a friend. – Eva from Massachusetts Enjoyed all of it. Great value for money. We saw a lot and the guide in Provence was superb. Accommodations - terrific. – Liz from Victoria, Australia Great trip! The guides in Paris and Provence were exceptional. – Carol from Connecticut My trip to Poland was wonderful, and I had a great time. It was exactly what I needed last summer. Poland was beautiful and Krakow was a charming city. I hope I can return someday. – Lois from New Jersey Thank you for putting together such a nice travel package. I do feel that I certainly had a good experience and got good value for my hard earned bucks. Keep up the good work! The guides and restaurants were excellent, as well as the hotels. – Desiree from Maine The Amalfi Coast trip was a great experience for the first time traveling on my own and hopefully I will be able to do it again. – Barbara from New York I had a wonderful time on the tour of Rome. Thank you so much for making everything go so smoothly. I am already trying to decide where to go next year with you! – Sandy from Florida The trip was amazing, the Amalfi coast was actually more beautiful than I had imagined. We had wonderful tour guides everywhere we went. One of my favorite moments on the trip was our Capri guide, Deborah, singing a beautiful Italian song up at Anacapri. Kudos to Teresa!! She kept us organized (not an easy feat) and very well fed. – Rebecca from Arizona Thank you so much for your thoroughness and thoughtfulness in providing the best trip for us all! We had a terrific time in England! – Holly from Connecticut You have a very satisfied traveler and I hope to travel with Sights and Soul again. I have recommended your company to a number of women here at work, so I hope that you get more clients via my recommendation. – Kitty from Pennsylvania I just want to let you know what a wonderful tour our Ireland adventure was! Becky was not only a great delight, but a tremendously professional tour leader. With her overseeing the arrangements, everything went smooth as silk. Thank you for making such a great tour available to women ... I'm looking forward to another adventure with Sights and Soul! – Kate from North Carolina Thank you so very, very much for a wonderful tour of the Amalfi Coast. The entire experience far exceeded my wildest expectations. – Pat from California I appreciated seeing all the amazing sights and being with women who enjoyed the same as me. Keep doing what you're doing. – June from Illinois It was first time traveling overseas for me, and was a bit nervous, but after meeting everyone and seeing how well planned everything was + the quality of accommodations and meals, I was just thrilled and enjoyed everything. – Cynthia from Arizona I LOVED the Greece trip, meeting the ladies & Becky was such a wonderful guide! Looking forward to traveling with you again... – Kate from Texas Thanks for everything. We saw the sights and we felt the soul of Prague. It was perfect in every way. Even the weather held off until our last night. – Karen from United Arab Emirates I could not have been more happy with the trip...everything was more than I had expected and it gave me a very well timed escape from my reality and I want to thank you for your part in making that possible. I loved it! I hope to be able to travel with your group in the future...time and circumstances will dictate that but, again, thank you. – Deborah from Florida Thank you for organising such a wonderful trip to S.Africa. Not only is your professionalism outstanding, but your ability to generate a considerate, warm and welcoming environment is a gift. I look forward to being able to join one of your trips in the future. – Gay from NSW, Australia The trip was amazing. Thank you for creating a great trip on a wonderful boat with such nice staff & informative guides. This is definitely a trip to fondly remember... the birds, more birds, even more birds, actually see sloths moving, taxi ride on a motorcycle, rivers of 2 different colors, rubber dripping from a cut in a tree, the town & the village & the kids. Just so many wonderful moments. – Joyce from Massachusetts Enjoyed the trip immensely! Teresa was wonderful. Amalfi is incredible. Would definitely recommend Sights and Soul to any woman looking for a tour group. Hope to get to travel with you again. Thanks for everything. – Jean from Arizona Thanks Yolanta for a wonderful experience. I haven't been able to get much done at work yet as I wax poetic and awestruck each time a co-worker asks me about my trip! – Heather from Ontario Thank you for a perfect tour! I wouldn't have changed a thing. Excellent company, crew, guides, food, excursions and sights!!! – Bonnie from British Columbia Yolanta does a great job describing the itinerary and giving additional information about the area. – Cynthia from Louisiana It was a wonderful experience. The Rivers, rainforest, cruise, food, excursions were fantastic and I will recommend the trip to my friends. We did have a great group, and I appreciate everyone and admire their passion to travel. – Janice from Hawaii I'm sitting in my beautiful room at the Prince George Hotel - waiting for my breakfast to be brought to me, and reflecting on what a remarkable holiday this has been. Want you to know your attention to detail has not gone unnoticed, you made EVERYTHING we did extra special! So far beyond anything I expected. I'll be talking about this trip for a very long time. – Carol from Tennessee I had a marvelous trip to London and its environs. The museums, theatre, people, sights and sounds, castles, history and more all made for a wonderful trip! Thank you very much for all of your hard work to make us all feel so at ease. – Edwyna from Washington Thank you again for a WONDERFUL trip in Nova Scotia. I can't stop thinking about everywhere we went and everything we did. What an experience! – Barbara from Missouri Thank you for putting together such a wonderful tour of Greece.

I'll look forward to future trips! – Kate from Ontario Thanks again for everything. Our London trip with my mother was the highlight of 2009 and a bright spot in my life. – Jen from Nevada The entire Amazon trip exceeded my expectations in every way. The boat, crew, food, accommodations, excursions were all fantastic! The guides made everything interesting, but I loved the night excursions and stories about local legends best of all. It was an amazing trip. – Heather from North Carolina It was an excellent tour. I enjoyed everything about visiting Portugal, there was a lot variety, the meals were great and all of the sightseeing was interesting and different. – Lynne from Michigan What a great adventure! I miss Vienna, my morning cafe mélange, the pastries. The tour was great, and I hope to coordinate another trip in the future..I have another daughter. Yolanta, thank you so much for the wonderful tour and your hard work in planning everything. I feel lucky to have experienced so much in a short time. I'm singing your praises and Sights and Soul tours here in Florida! – Teresa from Florida I had a fantastic time in Washington DC. I was very impressed with my first try with "women travel", and I am ready to explore some other city or country with Sights and Soul. – Marie from California It was a great trip, absolutely fabulous. Lots of wonderful memories. See you on another continent one day. – Kate from Ontario It was a great trip, and your office was a pleasure to deal with. – Judy from South Carolina I had a great time in Tuscany.

Thank you so much for making my dream come true, I will definitely keep Sights and Soul in mind when planning future vacations. – Danuta from Nova Scotia I loved our trip, and really felt like I came away from it, relaxed, happy, and more knowledgeable about another part of our wonderful world. Thank you for making the experience one that will forever be in my memory as a 'highlight' of my life. – Gail from Illinois Thank you for this experience - I will never be the same. – Kathy from Pennsylvania Again, I loved your tour the best and appreciated the combination of history, music and scenery. It was perfect in my opinion. Thanks, Yolanta and Kasia!!!! – Karen from British Columbia Thank you for the most wonderful vacation of my life!

I love your country! – Sandie from Maryland Thank you so much for this awesome experience. These past 10 days were filled with memories I will remember for the rest of my life. – Kylie from Maryland I loved visiting your home country. It is beautiful.

Thank you for all the laughs and fond memories. – Patricia from British Columbia I had a wonderful time. I was very impressed with Sights and Soul Travels and your ability to change plans as needed. – Carolyn from Massachusetts Thank you for sharing with us your passion for Poland. I love how the tour was put together and I especially loved all the music. – Karen from British Columbia Thank you so much for making my trip to Croatia such a wonderfully unforgettable and fun experience. Not only did you share the beauty and culture of the country with us, you shared its soul...and left me with some very special memories for a lifetime. How lucky we all were to have had you with us... – Sheila from Montana This is my second tour with Sights and Soul and once again found it to be well planned and lots of fun. It is so much easier to relax when all the hard work is done for you. Yolanta does a great job. Thanks for loving what you do so well. It shows. – Janet from the Netherlands The tour was well organized and I enjoyed that about both Sights & Soul tours I've taken. We visit the spots that are promised, the company is good and the suggested reading is on target. – Suzanne from Texas When you sign up for a tour with Sights and Soul, it's definetely not a large tour where everyone is shoved into a bus and just a body. Yolanta really cares about each lady and gives her personal attention from the day she signs up. The tour is very diverse that meets needs of all types of women. – Tracy from California I loved it totally! Having a very small, compatible group was great and gave us lots of flexibility. I liked only having two different hotels as this made the tour more relaxing. – Linda from Nova Scotia I had a great trip and it was REALLY hard to go back to work. The trip was everything I wanted it to be - a real escape, lots of variety, land and water, some good conversations, Judaic sites, immersion in a foreign culture, and a chance for me to spread my wings a bit and remember that, when I'm not working all the time, I can have a good time. – Robin from Pennsylvania I have taken 3 trips with Sights and Soul and each one was unique, great fun and very well organized. I'm very picky and this company exceeds my expectations! I plan to travel on even more tours with Yolanta! – Debra from California Croatia was so much fun! I got to see and experience so much culture and history, and I still felt like I was on vacation. The sea was incredible. I liked all the women in our group, and now that we have this connection, I hope that we will remain friends. Thank you for making this trip possible for me. – Andrea from Maine There was the right balance of activities - cultural and relaxing - and free time. It was the variety of what we did that was great plus the fact that we did things off the beaten tourist path. The tour guide made it very personal with a lot of personal insights. – Lorraine from the United Kingdom I had the most marvelous time on your tour! This was my first time to Europe and I'll cherish the memories forever. I'm smitten to travel much more! You laid out a lovely tour - and the ladies were wonderful. We're becoming friends all over the world! I greatly admire how well you planned everything to get the maximum of our Hungarian trip. – Edwyna from Washington Wonderful tour - great traveling with a small group. I felt like I received very individual attention. – Kenda from Tennessee We took a dinner cruise in Aix our last night and after dinner went to the outside top deck where they had beautiful music playing and the shoreline lit up by the boat. There were so many fireflies, it was like sparks flying. A French child sang a song that our guide taught me before. You could see the city lights. It was magical. – Janet from the Netherlands I have fallen in love with Portugal! The place is just amazing and the people are so friendly. The entire trip from start to finish was just perfect, but my favorite was how we got spoiled when we stayed in Obidos. I loved how they brought fresh fruit and fresh flowers to my room every day and how they lit the candles on the patio at night. I really needed this trip to regain my footing, and now I am moving on with my life. – Sarah from Oregon Thank you for all your careful and excellent arrangements in Washington, DC. I enjoyed the company and especially loved all the museums! – Joy from South Carolina Traveling with Sights and Soul was like being with a group of good friends, where one of them was very knowledgeable and took good care of you. – Alice from Wisconsin My heart and mind are still in Hungary. I woke up this morning with so many wonderful memories of my vacation, and wishing that I could be waking up in Budapest or Sumeg again. I can't begin to tell you how much fun I had and what a wonderful time it was for me. You have again created such a fantastic combination of sights, food, wine, adventures, and good companionship! – Marcia from California Once again, Yolanta has created an outstanding experience, this time by organizing a Washington DC tour. I am still reliving the memories of sharing the inspirational sights of DC with a group of like-minded women and Yolanta leading the charge! From the delightfully delicious restaurants to the exceptional docent-led tours of Washington's finest art, I can't say enough about how fulfilling, soul-satisfying and fun it was! – Laura from Wisconsin Travel with Yolanta is simply in a class of its own. It's like travelling with a friend who passionately wants to share not only the sights but also the "soul" of the place - the culture, the history, the people's values and passions. At the same time, Yolanta tries to anticipate and meet your needs as a traveler. From the time she welcomes you with flowers when you arrive at an airport, train or bus station to the time of departure, you feel special and well taken care of. – Elizabeth from Ohio We did so much! I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot. Thank you for your thoughtful giving spirit. It was really a priveledge to travel with you. – Katharine from North Carolina You and Kasia rewarded us with unique, meaningful experiences in a diligently fostered atmosphere of caring and personal attention, enriching our lives with your infectious enthusiasm, your consummate knowledge of the history, art and culture of the land - and, of course, the cuisine - each meal a delicious adventure! I should love to do another tour with you anywhere on this planet (or even outer space if that were possible) as I know you would be there for me, prepared to teach, to share, to exchange ideas and to enjoy many beautiful moments. – Lilian from Alberta Every time I see the photos, I get such a rush of wonderful memories. I am again reminded of what a fabulous tour you gave us and what a wonderful time we had. Thank you so much for being who you are and doing what you do. It really was a trip of a lifetime! – Marcia from California We felt so spoiled by you. Our very own trip specialized to our interests and desires... Fantastic! – Terri from Pennsylvania I cannot stop talking about how perfect the trip was in every way! Your attention to details was above and beyond. I feel very fortunate to have encountered Sight and Soul Travels. – JoAnn from Illinois Thank you for making this journey a meaningful experience for me; for putting together a great group of women; and for giving us such a rich itinerary. – Lita from Ontario Thank you for bringing me to Poland. I have wanted to go for so long, and it was much better than I could've ever imagined. – Elizabeth from Maryland Thank you for creating the most wonderful vacation I have ever had! The tour was just amazing and I really appreciate all your work to make sure every detail was covered for us. I can't wait to tell everyone I know about your business! – Carrie from Virginia The trip was truly awesome. I will never forget the music, the architecture, the people, the beauty, and the excitement of Krakow and the majesty of the mountains, the peacefulness of the river raft and challenges met on our incredible hike in the Tatra Mountains. The food was delicious everywhere and the entire trip, start to finish was PERFECT! Thank you again. – Cathy from Maryland I thought that the way you organized the tour was wonderful, and I never expected to get such a large view both historically and from another perspective - I feel like I have seen so much, even though when I first saw your itinerary, I thought it sounded wonderful! – Frances from New York You have done an amazing job. You have gone above and beyond everything I thought this trip would be. This is something I will never forget. Thank you for everything. – Susan from Maryland I am writing to express the wonderful time I had on my recent Provence tour. It was a trip to remember for the ages. The guide was very accommodating to our every need -- she added a few side trips that we expressed an interest in, which was a feature not usually expected on a tour. Thank you for the opportunity to join this superb tour, and for selecting such competent guides. The itinerary was excellent and I will certainly try to join another of your tours in the future. – Carolyn from Nova Scotia I really enjoyed the variety you put into the St. Petersburg tour. Thanks for everything! – Linda from New Jersey The trip to France was wonderful. This was my first experience traveling on a tour and I would like to say that it was delightful. As you predicted, the other travelers were great and we all got along. The guides were knowledgeable about the region and added little extra side trips that were a complete delight. I think everyone would agree that the hotel in Provence was our favourite place to stay. The rooms were interesting and very well equipped, and the food and ambience were good. A bonus was the interest and congeniality of the innkeepers. The size of the tour was also perfect as it allowed us to have a small vehicle and also created a nice familial atmosphere in the group. As you can tell, I really enjoyed the experience and will consider your tours again in the future. – Linda from Nova Scotia It was such a fabulous trip - my only complaint is that it's over. I often travel alone, so I wasn't sure how it would be to travel as part of a group this time. As it turned out, the group really was terrific. Ten or eleven is a nice size, large enough to be interesting, small enough to be flexible. The women in the group were interesting, well-travelled, and intelligent, with lots of different experiences and interests to share. Heni was an outstanding tour leader, personable, gracious, organized, calm. Her experiences and insights about Hungary added a lot to the trip. Thank you for all of the hard work that you put into making the tour so exciting, fun, and informative. – Susan from New York |
