“What we love about Europe is the rich history that co-exists right next to modern technology. When you travel with Caren, you know you’ll get to experience the best of both. On our Netherlands and Belgium tour, we visited a 12^th century castle in Ghent and contemporary shops in Amsterdam. We learned how 17^th century porcelain was manufactured in Delft and watched chocolate being made in a modern facility in Brugge. We relived World War I at Flanders Fields and watched the computer-automated flower auction in Aalsmeer. Best of all, we strolled through some of the most beautiful gardens you can imagine and sampled unbelievably delicious chocolates from a dozen shops in Brussels. Caren timed our tour to coincide with Floriade, the world horticultural exhibition that occurs only once every ten years, and the Flower Carpet in Brussels that occurs every other year. Caren has the experience and skill to select the locations and sites that will make your trip a memorable one.”

Our trip to Holland and Belgium was both educational and enjoyable. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful flowers and exquisite gardens. The various chocolate factories and stores had delicious candy for us to sample. The architecture of the historical buildings in all the cities was interesting and outstanding. Caren and Jim were fantastic leaders.

Just got back from Holland, Belgium, with a quick stop for dinner in Germany! What a fantastic trip. Bicycles, bicycles and more bicycles. Of course, it is very flat there! Beautiful canals and windmills. The flower auction and the Floriade were great. In this picture you can see the houseboats that line the canals. Also, in the background are the "Dancing Ladies." Notice how the buildings lean.

Ireland! Loved it! My first time outside North America. The castles and history were breathtaking. The people, pubs, and food were also an exciting experience!

Canadian Rockies trip. Whale watching was great. They were so close and there were so many of them.

Canadian Rockies and glacier lakes can't be beat.

I want to express again that your Canadian Rockies trip was a wonderful experience and for me - what I'd call a perfect trip. While you were not responsible for the great weather and incredible beauty, you do get full credit for sharing with us the amazing sights and a wide variety of experiences. The accomodations were great; our bus driver was very informative and helpful; you attracted a very congenial group of travelers; and your very caring nature and personal attention to each of us was remarkable.
