I hope you will join us on this (rescheduled from 2020) Women, Walking & Wine small group adventure. The Catalonia region of Spain offers a truly immersive, out of the ordinary adventure that showcases the region's natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and culinary excellence.

We will begin our adventure in Barcelona at La Mercè "an annual festival of street arts"

Then we continue with a combination of hiking, wine, and food to create an unforgettable experience. We will be trekking from village to village on guided hikes on local trails, sipping Priorat wines (primarily reds made from Garnacha and Cariñena grapes), enjoy an olive oil tasting, a historical train ride, picnic lunches and other delicious meals that fuse Mediterranean and Spanish flavors, incorporating fresh seafood, locally sourced meats, and seasonal produce.

My daughter and I had a great time. It would have been nice if there had a been more guidance on at the daffodil festival and in Cambridge. Several of us missed going out to the farm because of the uncertainty of how to get there and more so, concerned about not getting back in time to catch the ferry. The other frustrating part was in Cambridge, the museum was wonderful. But it was kind of frustrating the way the vague directions towards Harvard Square. It would’ve been nice if a group had been guided over to Harbor Square. Know of at least four people that did not get to eat because they got lost/discombobulated while trying to find Harvard square and something to eat. Thankfully we weren’t one of those. And the only other thing that I wanted to say is the woman who sat behind us on the way back, grumbled, and complained about every deviation that was made from the schedule. of the little side trips and areas that you and Marty and Shelly took time out to show us, I thought it was fascinating. And fun. However, the two women behind me stuttered, and complained each and every time there was a little change. When we drove down by the Kennedy compound, when we made the unscheduled stop at the McDonald’s area, when the schedule got a little off kilter and when we got to the museum a little bit earlier than our tour was schedule … these two women just kept saying I don’t understand why she just doesn’t keep the schedule. Why does she keep changing everything. And then, when the movie was put in on the way back, she was not impressed with that either. The comment was made about watching a witch movie. Anyway, overall the trip was great. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. Mom and I go to seafood Sam’s in Yarmouth every time we go to Cape. So it was nice to try this location. I look forward to the New York City, December trip and the daffodil trip for 2025.

Delightful - Surprising locations and discoveries! I'd not been to Nantucket before and it was so lovely and charming - especially the antique car parade dressed up in their daffodil finest! Shelly, Marty and Nancy were a great team, and they took care of all 50 of us!

By Kymberly D for Cape Cod and Nantucket Daffodil Festival Weekend Tour ~ April 26-28th on Apr 30, 2024

Thank you for a great travel adventure! We had wanted to go to Nantucket but it seemed overwhelming to arrange on our own. When this opportunity came up we jumped on it. We were not disappointed. Everything went smoothly and we were blessed with wonderful travel companions, a top notch bus driver and superb travel directors. The itinerary was well thought out and we made the most of the three short days. Our only comment for an improvement would be to provide full scale maps of Hyannis and Nantucket. We were able to get such a map of Hyannis at the front desk. Late in the day we stumbled on a Nantucket map, just like the small hard to read one in our travel info, at the Wave bus station.

By David S for Cape Cod and Nantucket Daffodil Festival Weekend Tour ~ April 26-28th on Apr 30, 2024

Great getaway!!! Loved the city and all the events. The bus was comfortable and Clyde so accommodating and considerate and an excellent driver manuvering several detours and reroutes throughout the small city streets!! Just a word of advice that Canada does not accept Discover cards. Nancy and Shelli made themselves available and as far as my comfort goes, they thought of everything. Looking forward to my next trip with them. Oh, and the Chateau, so elegant!!

By Linda L for Québec City Winter Carnival Weekend Feb 2-5, 2024 on Feb 23, 2024

This was our 4th trip to Quebec. We love this city. The Frontenac was lovely. Enjoyed the tour that gave us more history of the hotel. Many restaurants to pick from. Enjoyed having an extra day. Glad we had the stop at the duty free shop, hope to do this again. Nancy and Shelley were great as usual. Hope to come again next year.
