All 5 star reviews from our wonderful customers

Terrific trip. Wonderful people. Awesome ancient sites. Murray Anderson is the BEST tour guide I’ve ever had! Mouths of Babes are wonderful, warm, friendly, and great musicians

This trip was so ALIVE with people, history, and beauty. We loved it!

This was a wonderful trip. Great music and great company. It was amazing to be able to spend time with Stephen Fearing, a world class musician and a first class person. Duncan, our driver/guide was great -- patient, good humored, knowledgeable, indefatigable.

I am not a big group person--our trip was 25--but I had the time of my life with these wonderful people. There's a Venn diagram with lots of overlap of folk music lovers and very cool people. Our group leaders Julie and Katie not only provided fabulous music themselves, but made sure everyone in the group felt included.
