Comments from Our Travelers
“This trip was nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed it more than other trips to Europe I have taken in the past, and I think that has to do with the amount of time we spent in each country. It is much easier to get the feel of a country when you take time to do an in-depth study of it.”
-E. Guidry
“For what I paid to see all this, I got my money’s worth 20 times over. I will remember the Prado for the rest of my life.”
-R. Boudreaux
