Melanie is excellent, not just as discussion leader and moderator, but also in many areas above and beyond that role: facilitator, mother hen, liaison with local resources, chief cat-herder, logistics genius, perennial friendly face.

Suzanne is simply the BEST travel guide! Her professionalism, depth of research, thorough knowledge of each destination, flexibility, and sense of humour, are unequalled in my travel experience. Having toured with Suzanne on eight trips, I especially appreciate her ability to consider each participant’s preferences rather than adopting a “one size fits all” approach.

This tour was an exceptional experience. I was returned to my roots and the richness of my upbringing in a mixed language and culture environment thanks to Ann’s expert leadership of the readings and discussions and Marie’s excellent guiding through old Quebec.
