Great Trip, Wonderful weather, & fun group.. how can you improve? Hope to do Greece with you in the future.
Thank you for your leadership and excellent choice of biking routes, hotels & dining. This was one of our very best trips. Thank you.
I want you to know that I really enjoyed my excursion to New York-Hudson Valley. The trip went so well, I thought to the credit of Lisa and Steve. They did a great job in taking care of us. It was a good group to ride with. Accommodations were great as usual & the weather was really good as well. I hope to plan another trip with you sometime soon.
Thank you so very much for a truly memorable ten days. Seeing Greece with yourthoughtful and learned narratives has been a joyful and breathless experience.
Thank you for a lovely bike tour. It was so good to learn about the Historic Erie Canal - what a great group.
We really enjoyed the family feel of this trip. Thank you again for opening your home to us and for the cocktails, and the chance to meet your parents and children.
Greece is a beautiful country made all the more special by your wealth of knowledge about its history and culture. And besides you are just plain fun to travel with.
Thank you Sarah & Benton for yet again a wonderful adventure. We so appreciate your commitment and friendship.
We especially liked the relaxed approach to the trip. We were able to leave last each day and take all the stops we wanted, and still get a great workout.
The bike trip was a great experience in a beautiful countryside. Peter & Maria were exceptional leaders who took care of us. I always felt safe with them and well attended to.
We love Benton & Sarah. We want to do Greece when it is scheduled for 2015 - but only if Benton and Sarah are our guides!
I liked that each day's cycling was "cycle at your own pace." The dinners and breakfasts were terrific. The select group dinners gave the tour a nice social aspect.
