Testimonials
This is what our travellers had to say....
Cheers from the 2006 tour group
“I thought the whole trip was good value for money and that Janette and Marina have done an excellent job, especially as it’s their first trip. They have been courteous, friendly and helpful. I would wish them all the best for future trips. Well done! And lots of bouquets for all the work you two have done – and to your rellies too!”

“A trip of a lifetime dream. Really enjoyed both of your company at all times. So great to have so many relies. Especially Don Guiseppe (Priest of Modena) taking all around his lovely churches.”
“Even responses to my text messages home have been so enthusiastic eg: “WOW, what a holiday!”, “How cool”, “Fantastic”. Thank you Jeanette and Marina for all your planning, organisation and thought put into making this holiday so special!
As well, your patience and effort in dealing with everyone in the group and involving your wonderful family. This has been a one-off experience!”
- Rob (Artist)
““The trip more than ever fulfilled my expectations – did not believe that it would cover so many beautiful and diversified opportunities and the personal touch of the relations added dramatically to the Italian trip. Great opportunities for painting – there and later from our photographs” Judy W - Painter”

“For me, the day in Fiumalbo was special because of the place, the people we met, the place I sketched, the weather – our mood… everything! Lucca was picturesque and I would love to go back.”
“The locals have been extraordinarily generous in every aspect. When I first read the ‘flyer’ for the trip it was what appealed to me – that generosity when above/beyond these expectations.”
- Janice (Non-painter)
