"…see everything, enjoy everything, learn
everything, and write me an excellent letter brimming over with your
impressions."
--HENRY JAMES,
Madame de Mauve
It is nice to be on a tour where the leaders are as excited about seeing the
sites as the participants are. It was like a trip with a group of close
friends.
--CINDI STILES
The service and assistance provided by Walking Softly was nothing short of
magical. It enabled us to relax and enjoy every aspect of our trip knowing
that all the worrying had been done in advance. It was Swiss-watch-precision
all the way, without any herding, harassing, or hurrying. We were in good
hands at every step. We realize that, had we been left to attempt this trip
on our own, we might have been able to do 10% of what we accomplished with
relaxing ease while in the care of Walking Softly.
--PEGGY AND JIM HILTON
Traveling with you has decisive advantages. I enjoy the company and
friendship of...your leaders/guides. Everywhere I’ve gone with you, it’s
obvious that you’ve "been there." You connect us with places...way above the
ordinary, and sometimes set the stage for meetings with individuals...we
wouldn’t encounter in ordinary travel contexts.
--PALMER OSBORN
My trip to Europe was such a wonderful and great experience. I owe it all
to the wonderful hotels, food, tours, people, etc. that you arranged. It was
superb!
--DIANNE SHERMAN
We find it very easy to tell everyone that despite our many wonderful
trips with [other tour companies], we recommend they check out Walking
Softly first!
--FRED BIRD AND NANCY ASHLEY
Whenever I take off for a trip of any kind, I wonder how I’ll feel on the
return trip. Coming back, I kept telling Ted what a great time I had, how it
was better than I expected. You did a great job!
--ROXANNE AND TED NELSON
We have never experienced travel with leaders who attended to every detail
with such dedication. Walking Softly Adventures attracts delightful people
for a thoroughly enjoyable adventure.
--SHIRLEY & DEAN SCHAMP
John and Amy have to be the ultimate! One or both were always a step
ahead, planning the next event. And everyone received consideration. The
trip exceeded our expectations.
--RUSS & ROSALIE WEBER
All the leaders were superior. Everyone made us all feel well cared for
and taken where we wanted to go—at our own speed.
--SKIP FARRIS
I felt very catered to...we were able to do so much more because you had
done all the homework.
--NANCY CHAPMAN
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you did to make this trip
one of the most enriching experiences of my life...I will always have a
treasure box of these memories. Thank you for helping me to fill it.
--JILL BOGLE
We’d like to thank you again for the wonderful trip you put together for
us. The locations, accommodations, meals, variety and schedule made our week
as enjoyable as it could possibly be! You are elite professionals; that
combined with your individual skills and charm…make "Walking Softly" a
wonderful success!
--SUSAN LAWRENCE AND LEE JALOVEC
Traveling with Walking Softly Adventures didn't seem like a tour. It
seemed like we were being taken around by friends who lived nearby.
--JAN NARAGON
We can't say that "it was the trip of a lifetime," because that would mean
we never plan to do it again. We do plan on repeat performances… It truly
was a marvelous trip. Walking Softly Adventures was perfection in our
opinion.
--ALICE AND RON WINKLER
Those caves are incredible...but your careful attention to individual
needs, desires (and peculiarities) made the trip superlative. I speak from
experience since I went on an earlier tour [with a different company]. I had
a great time then but I had a 10 times better time with Walking Softly.
--JEAN ALLAN
Amy and John do their homework extremely well and enhanced our Norwegian
visit tremendously with their knowledge of local information and historical
fact. Ross Hamilton graciously imparted knowledge of lighting and
composition with a bit of light-hearted banter—an extra bonus for us "would
be" photographers.
--PAT DYKE
It
was so wonderful to be able to discover and learn about art immersed in the
country of origin with such a knowledgeable pair of instructors.
--JOYCE ILIFF
Thanks for helping me make my dreams come true.
--JUDY CHILCUTT
Many, many thanks for a most enjoyable "art feast"…I really appreciated
how you made the artists come alive in your presentations. It was an
experience I’ll never forget.
--ELAINE HARPER
You do a wonderful job of caring for your travelers, and we recommend
Walking Softly to others.
--BERNICE STEARNS AND MEL TAYLOR
We give an enthusiastic endorsement to Walking Softly Adventures. Their
attention to detail and sincere commitment to their client’s total enjoyment
makes us ready to try another of their destinations soon!
--SHARON WILSON
It’s hard to put in words the feelings I have about this trip! It’s been
spectacular…the sights, the people, the food, and all the wonderful friends
I’ve made!
--JOE ANN RIEDESEL
I was impressed with the leaders’ knowledge of local history and customs,
which helped transform a wonderful nature walk into an unforgettable journey
through land and time.
--KEVIN SAUSEDO
Thank you again for an unforgettable trip!
--PRISCILLA PRYOR
I had not anticipated the degree to which you had prepared every detail to
facilitate everything and make Walking Softly an unforgettable experience.
--RICHARD HERMANN
can’t say enough about our hosts and their flawless arrangements,
good humor, and concern for everyone’s comfort.
--ROSALIE GITTINGS
Everything was wonderful—the accommodations, food, and especially the
company… By far one of the nicest times I have ever spent on vacation.
--KAREN WADE
