"We had a great time with plenty of memories. The lodging was amazing; we would have never have found places like that...tucked away, beautiful and affordable."

"We certainly enjoyed our trip and have been describing it to our friends as the trip of a lifetime - with wonderful memories and stories to share. What an opportunity to travel in a small group, to see places that the "big bus" tours would miss."

"My husband and I went with Joan on our first trip to Europe in 2009. Having close relations, I have heard about her trips many times but this was the first time we got to experience one. The amount of planning, organization and knowledge of the areas visited was really quite amazing. The angst of traveling in countries that don't speak english was almost non-existant. The small group were all great travel partners from various backgrounds which just added to the fun. We were even able to request a private side trip for one day, which Joan graciously worked into the schedule for us. Joan provides a pretty care free experience, but with the freedoms and feeling of private travel."
