Past Traveler's Comments...
Dick and I have traveled many times with other travel groups and we have never had such a wonderful time. Both of you were the reason the trip was so enjoyable.Your personalities and concern for everyone in the group made it so special. We do know you helped us a lot more than was required. ;-)))
And we appreciate it. We can't stop bragging about you to everyone we know.
I hope some of our friends /family take your trips in the future.

This is a long overdue 'thank you' for making my first (and definitely not my last) European trip so wonderful! I cannot express how much I enjoyed myself and the company of the other travelers. I honestly don't have anything similar to compare it with but I do know that when I travel with any other tour company, they have some big shoes to fill! I have so many pictures and memories that I will definitely hold dear and I feel bad that when the trip came to an end, I didn't have the opportunity to express to you both what a wonderful time I had with you two as the leaders.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Can't think of anything that you could have improved on. The food and lodging were excellent and the historical side trips were informative and interesting. Will be watching your web site and hope to see you soon. We truly enjoyed seeing a little piece of the bavarian life style. Thanks again for a great time

- I also wanted to thank you! We had a blast on the trip!! It was so laid back, but well planned out. Couldn't have asked for anything more! ... thank you again for an incredible experience! We couldn't have picked anything better for the four of us. (A woman from the East Coast travelling with family Oktoberfest 2010)

- Just wanted to tell you two how much we enjoyed our recent trip to Bavaria/Oktoberfest. Thank you for sharing your love of Bavaria. Most of all, thank you for enjoying it with us! We had the time of our lives! (by the way, I sure do miss the beer!) We are already talking about next year's trip! (A couple from Hawaii, Oktoberfest 2010)

...before I get completely buried I wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I can't spell "bitteschein" properly but yiou get the drift. The trip was fabulous! The focus on the local touches/culture was particularly special. I really enjoyed myself...

Vonia and Scott, I had the most wonderful trip. Thank you so much for making it so interesting and so much fun.
And what a great group of people!

- I just wanted to say Thank You for the amazing vacation that I had with you. We are both quite sad to be back home, we wanted to stay and continue experiencing new places and things. I haven't felt so relaxed in such a long time, knowing that everything was taken care of, and just being able to take in all of the experiences that you offered. We are already talking about coming back - we'll be saving up, hopefully for next years Christmas tour. Thank you again for an amazing time. (A young couple from North Carolin)

- We had a wonderful time. Thank you for being patient with our daughter. She had a great time. I just want to you to know that I think you are a very caring person. Not many people would care what happens to people before and after the "official" tour, but you really helped us with the first part of our trip as well as the last part. I got to see everything I wanted and you made it very easy for us. You also made sure we had your telephone number just in case something went wrong. You are truly a good person.

- We want to let you know how much we enjoyed the recent trip to Germany with you guys. You couldn't have been any better tour guides. So imformative and we loved the flexibility in your scheduling. We loved both of you guys. Good Luck in all your future endeavors and we all wanted to let you know how much we think of you both. We would really recommend you to anyone thinking of a Germany trip.

- Trey came up with a wonderful slogan for Bayern trips.... "Feel local in a foreign land". That pretty much sums up our entire experience with you both. Scott, your passion for Bavaria truly shines as you talk to each individual from our group and engage the locals. It is easy to see your love for the Bavarian culture and it's people, and it infectious to those around you. (A couple from South Carolina, 2008 Best of Bavaria I)

- I had to write an e-mail back thanking you for the best trip. I am so glad we decided to take your tour. When I started searching last year at this time for a tour to take, I was looking for a balanced tour but one that would not be stuffy. I wanted to truly experience Germany and Oktoberfest. I can't believe how lucky I was to find your tour. You are both truly wonderful people and I enjoyed talking and getting to know each of you. You created a group of friends amongst 27 strangers. I felt like I was there with people I had known forever rather than people I met a few days prior. You do everything right with your tours. Please don't change a thing!!! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience that I will remember always! (A couple from lower Michigan, Best of Bavaria II, 2008)

- Ned and I so much enjoyed our trip to Bavaria. You and Scott made it so enjoyable and made our getting to and from all of the places we visited seem so effortless. We never could have seen so much and gotten so "up close and personal" on our own. Scott's knowledge of the history of Bavaria and sharing all of that with us was a real added bonus.

- ...not a single day has gone by since I've been back where I haven't sifted through my hundreds of photos and movie files at least once a day. To say I had a great time would be a HUGE understatement! Many thanks to you and Vonia, firstly for putting up with me, and most importantly, providing me with many fabulous and unforgettable experiences that I never could have had on my own.

- You guys have put together an amazing experience and we are so glad we were able to go. When I told friends about the trip I told them it was like having a good friend take you to their favorite place and show you all the things about it they thought were cool and knew you would enjoy:) I know Mike and I had an awesome vacation we will always treasure.
