What a great trip! We had been to Greece before and didn’t plan to return, but Heidi’s itinerary and our trust in her convinced us. We loved traveling to less-busy places and learning about the culture and history. And of course the food was wonderful (and vegetarian-friendly)! Heidi is an expert planner, anticipating any needs and building in contingency plans. The accommodations were great and the company was wonderful. If you are looking for a well-planned trip that gives you great cultural experiences with a small group of interesting people, Forktown is for you!

We had a wonderful time in Greece. The tour and visit exceeded our expectations. Heidi is THE absolute best - attending to every need with patience and grace. Nothing is overlooked by Heidi!!

We recently traveled with Heidi to Greece and had an amazing trip. The hotels we stayed in were all five star accommodations, one hotel even had a pool in the room and a view overlooking the ocean. We didn’t have a bad meal on the trip. My favorite was a rooftop restaurant with a view overlooking the Parthenon. Tours included an olive tasting, a wine testing, tours of ruins, and a sailboat trip with a swim in the ocean. Everything was arranged so that it was completely effortless and seamless. I cannot recommend this to our company highly enough!

Heidi is an excellent tour guide! She is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about what she does, and she is great at making people feel welcome and building connections. She is also great at finding the best food and wine, and creating a unique tour experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Sicily, and I would definitely take another tour with her!

The two-day pre-trip in Catania and the retreat in Noto were excellent. This enabled us to experience Sicily in two different settings. Lucky us! We were a group of 15 women from all over the U.S. whose ages ranged from the mid-40s to 70+. In Catania it was exciting to walk to the piazza and see a bevy of activity; people out and about, open food markets, restaurants, cafes and shops, street entertainers (musicians, dancers). The ancient Baroque architecture was amazing, absolutely beautiful to behold. Being on Mt. Etna, a live volcano, was interesting. Wish we could've stayed longer to see more. A tour to an organic winery with a yummy lunch was delightful. In Noto, the Baglio Siciliamo was an ideal country resort for a retreat. It was well-appointed, clean, and the staff provided superb service. The food from the resort and from the restaurant, Manna, was delicious. Our day trips from the baglio were varied but reflective of the area. These included a walking tour of Noto, pizza dinner, bio goat farm tour, "light" lunches, winery tours, dinner al fresco, archeological tours, tour of a nature reserve, and chocolate making. We learned and experienced a lot about the southeast coast of Sicily.
