We had a wonderful time. No complaints. The planning was excellent and the ladies who took care of us were very professional. Looking forward to more trips. Please keep us posted on any new trips by Patti. Thank you again for a wonderful trip. Have a nice Thanksgiving. Mira Perogine and Jay Baver

Well planned, fun and friendly tour leaders and all around wonderful people to travel with..looking forward to more trips👌

We always enjoy Patty's trips. This trip did not disappoint. Both wineries we visited were beautiful and, most important of all, made outstanding wine--we have found that many wineries in NC just aren't up to par, but these two (Rayson and Shadow Springs) were spectacular.... We also enjoyed the wonderful lunch and tastings at Southern Distilling. The tasting room and event room were lovely with antique cars and motorcycle collections. Our stop at Rescue Ranch far exceeded my expectations...the animals were adorable, everything from a giant tortoise to a llama--we also saw, what we believe to be the largest cow in the world--his back was over 6 feet high.. We really enjoyed this trip, as well as the wonderful customer service provided by Patty and her team.

Patty, what a fun and amazing trip that was for me, thank you! Yes, we had the weather against us the first couple days but you and your fantastic team (Kathy and Donny) made quick adjustments to the itinerary to accommodate. The bus was comfortable and the stops were planned perfectly for getting a stretch in and eating/restroom breaks when needed. At the hotel, which had such beautiful balcony views of the river (which was my favorite thing about that hotel) I watched you guys hustle to get the mistake made by the hotel corrected so we could all get in our rooms that first night. You were very calm and professional with the front desk clerk, who was obviously very confused, and you got it all worked out with a smile on your face. A sunny day would have been great for the train ride Wednesday, of course, but with my umbrella I was still able enjoy Bryson City and the train museum before the ride. The train ride itself was very cool experience. It felt a little like riding back in time, the scenery was so pretty, the lake was massive and the meal was delicious. I thought the tumbler and reusable bag were nice little swag/souvenirs too. Scheduling in a stop for Thursday at the flag museum on the trip home was a great way to break up the day and I did really enjoy that too. Much more than I thought I would to be honest. I never gave any thought to what goes into flags and found the historical pictures on the presidential flags to be most interesting. I wish I lived close enough to take more trips with you guys, if you ever bring a trip out to Las Vegas, count me in. You guys are The Best :) Take care and be well!

We were looking forward to a little escape to the NC mountains and a train ride through the Smokies. We took a trip with Patty to Charlottsville VA and thoroughly enjoyed that. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great for this trip, but we made the best of it had a great time with the people we traveled with. We enjoyed the stop at the NC Farmers Market on the way to Sylva and dinner at LuLu's was excellent. The next day [Wed] the train ride. We explored Bryson City for a couple of hours before departing on the train and found a great little coffee shop, with the best apple Danish I ever had! :-) The train ride was great, albeit a bit wet, we really enjoyed the ambiance of riding in a steam train through the Smoky mountains and sitting in a dining car to look out at all the colors. The next day was the ride home and a stop at the House of Flags Museum in Columbus, SC. and lunch at a little local diner. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves! Cathy Antonucci and Ken Davidson.
