Rick Phillips [was] superb! An enlightening, charming, engaging experience all around. I learned so much from him, as did we all. Rick’s knowledge is legion, his delivery awesome, and his classroom management skills second to none. Being able to actually see and hear the performances [at the Toronto Summer Music Festival concert] transported us all.

Best part of the week: being together again with friends old and new; the miraculous rebirth of Toronto Pursuits, thanks to your indomitable efforts and commitment through the pandemic.

“[Our leader] Gary added so much more to the trip than just discussion leading, Gary and [our other tour leader Scott] were endlessly polite, full of knowledge, and helpful at keeping track of the group, handling arrangements, assisting with luggage and other practicalities, and more.”
