This trip was so much better than I imagined it could be! The attention to detail and the contacts Jon has developed over the years are very evident on this tour. He understands that travelers like to experience new and different things with a group but also that they have the flexibility to explore on their own. Jon was very friendly and helpful with suggestions of restaurants and stores to visit in Prague. Our local tour guides were fantastic and open and friendly. Jill and Julianna made the trip so much fun! The classes were a great way for us all to learn a new skill and for us to really get to know Jill and Julianna on a personal level. For those worried about traveling alone, please don't! I traveled alone and had no problems making friends. There is something so special about sharing time with others of like mind. Our group was a diverse group with varying levels of ability who bonded in a special way! When you all share the love of making jewelry and beading it brings such joy to all those around. This trip made me excited again about beading!! I plan to go on another one of Jons tours in the future.

I had a great time. The hotel accommodation was good.

The trip was most enjoyable, with a good blend of different types of activities. Jon was very efficient and organized our visits and tours with great timing.. I would definitely recommend tours by Da Beads if anyone is in doubt.

One of the best trips I have ever taken. A fabulous group of participants, many wonderful adventures, great food and interesting classes. Never a dull moment. The hotels were comfortable, accomodating and had good food. Jon, Jill and Jewels were all amazing. Absolutely every detail was handled by this amazing trio. Denise "Dee" Gaynor

One of the best trips I have ever taken. The people in our group were awesome, no drama and since it was only 20 we all got to know each other well. The places we visited were educational, interesting and fun, add in the workshop time and it made for a well rounded experience. Days were busy and we did a lot of walking so be prepared for that. My only wish is that we could have had an itinerary available for the next day to prep a bit more. But if you stay flexible and just enjoy the journey then it's awesome, the hotels, the food, the people and whole experience.
