We had a great tour of Italy. The site seeing, the food, and the venues we sang in were amazing. Our guide and driver were both great. Looking forward to our next trip.

Overall it was a great trip! Wish we had known to ask for fans at DCU. I would skip the river cruise in Galway next time and wish we had more time exploring Galway instead of the cruise. Our bus driver John was wonderful - love that he had a few suggestions on our itinerary! Wish we had more options for food selection at the dinners...only our last night gave us multiple choices for dinner. The pizza place in Killarney said they had options and were surprised when the order was returned with every order was the same (actually the manager was LOVELY and gave a few of the parents pepperoni on our plain cheese pizzas). The dinner after LARK was atrocious - portions were all over the place, pasta undercooked, nothing else offered besides pasta/ragu and dessert. Really horrible - I do wonder how much I paid for that meal as my daughter and I got food at DCU after to compensate for the horrible meal. I wish the kids had more interactions with other choral groups throughout Ireland - my daughter loved the experience with LARK and the workshop the next day.

Very much enjoyed the trip. Appreciated the level of organization and attention to detail as we traveled along. Guide was wonderful and so helpful to all of us. Stops were amazing. So many fascinating highlights and lots of information. Singing experiences were emotional and inspirational. Enjoyed meeting and making new friends. Very congenial group. Lots of great adventures and photos. Friends back home were envious. Luggage hauling still somewhat of an issue. Even with rolling baggage, some distances were a bit daunting and difficult to navigate. Fortunately, my fellow travelers assisted me when necessary. Loved seeing new places, meeting new people, and singing in those glorious churches!

Everything except the heat and humidity were wonderful -- food, hotel, performance, people and value for money were excellent.

Air travel no glitches. Accommodations were excellent. Travel guide, Flavio, was funny, professional, informative and kept us moving and on schedule. Performance venues were beautiful with lots of attendees. Tour guides and tours were great. Staying multiple nights in each place was nice, but made for some long bus rides. Our main bus driver was great.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our tour guide, Jitka Strnadova, was exceptional. So knowledgeable and personable. Our bus driver, Zoltan (sp) was so accommodating and every place we stayed was beautiful. 100% best vacation ever.
