2008 TOURS
Here's a brief summary:

SICILY: March 27 - April 13 We've had such great visits in Sicily and had so many inquiries, we return! We explore Naples, visit Herculaneum/Vesuvius and then south down the coast stopping at Paestum (a favorite), continuing down the coast, crossing over to Sicily for a leisurely island loop full of investigative happenings. We are working with our excellent friends in Sicily to give you a well rounded tour and always add personalized stops and visits that most other tours don't include. Opportunity to stop over in Rome.

PARIS: May 24 - June 1  We must return to one of our favorite cities! Perfect for the independent traveler or someone who wants some help and guidance. Patty has plans for each day, but you are free to do your own thing. Everyone has museum and metro passes so easy to do as much as you can handle. Hotel is centrally located and you will see more and do more than you ever imagined. She has some after tour plans for those interested can we tempt you with a day trip to Chartres or perhaps continue on to Brugge, Delft, Amsterdam? Or? Let us know!

IRELAND: JUNE 26  July 10  This years trip was a rousing success and with many asking about next year, how could we not visit visiting this charming country! We'll explore via a loop trip around the Island from top to bottom and have included another day in the north so we aren't so rushed in this area that has become easier to travel in these days. AND we have a very special event planned for July 4.you will love it! Historical, cultural and fun sites, good music, great food, comfortable hotels and because we have special Irish friends, a  really thorough visit of this hospitable land. I can hear the Celtic music and taste the great food already!

SWITZERLAND: August 5 - 22 Again, we must return to this magic land with its glorious mountains, great walking and stunning views. 16 days with options before and after. Highlight is a music festival in Appenzell (town Is utterly charming and countryside is full of walks and hikes). We start in Zurich, then using a Swiss Rail pass to the place where god lives, Wengen in the Bernese Oberland. If you are a photographer or like to sketch, walker or hiker or just like to soak up the glorious scenery, this is the place for you. Not a strenuous trip but there are opportunities for the more energetic ones to steam up a mountain trail. Perfect for families too  take the grandparents along. We took our whole family and they are still talking about it. Can't wait!!

ITALY: Sept 15 - Oct. 8 A favorite and always fills early. Consider this one early enough so you aren't left behind. All the best places, from the Dolomites in the north, Venice, Assisi, south to Sorrento, Almalfi Coast, Capri, then head north Rome, Orvieto, Siena, San Gimigiano, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Cinqueterre, Milan and Como. A comprehensive tour with central hotels, great guides, superb driver, planned and free time...lots of extras and serendipitous happenings.
