"This was an excellent experience and quite affordable.... Staying in one location with day trips suited us perfectly, and the itinerary was varied and interesting. To me it was the perfect chance to enjoy historical sites, natural beauty, food and wine, local people, and comfortable lodgings."
- Margie & Cliff W. (France)

"This was hands-down the best trip we have ever taken. The gorgeous islands, the amazing turquoise Aegean sea, the beauty of the Peloponnese, and standing in the ORIGINAL Olympic stadium was more than we ever expected. We can't wait to go again!"
– Nancy C. (Greece)

"Ihla shares her love of Tuscany in a way that makes you love it too."
- Cheryl L. (Tuscany)

"Thank you so very much for a memorable vacation to Alaska. The trip was everything you advertised it to be and more. ...We saw and experienced parts of Alaska that the ordinary traveler never does... We will always be grateful for our decision to ‘catch the wind’ with Drifter Sister!"
- Mary Anne & Larry R. (Alaska)

“The lunch & dinner meals were so delicious, the lodgings were awesome, each unique and wonderful, the variety of the cities & their history, and nothing tops seeing the fabulous Mesquita and Cathedral in Cordoba. The whole two weeks was a once in a lifetime experience.”
-Jennifer S. (Spain)

“This is trip #3 with Ihla! I love how each day is planned out but also the flexibility of making changes (chemistry of the group). Ihla does a FANTASTIC job of including everyone's requests during the trip. I am so excited to continue my travels with IHLA!”
– Judi A. (Spain)

“Can there be a better way to get up close and personal with Alaska?? I doubt it! A true learning experience from kayak to walking on glaciers. Ihla has the expertise to make your dream trip come alive!!”
– Phyllis V. (Alaska)

"The beauty of the land was amazing. Thank you for a great tour! We talked to several other people on the train who had booked the trip by themselves, and they didn’t visit all the places we did. In fact one couple had less experiences but paid more!"
- Nancy & Steve C. (Canadian Rocky Mountaineer)

"This was a well-organized, comfortable and very affordable trip that covered a good slice of Ireland from archeological & historical sites and attractions to delving a little into Irish folklore and seeing the present day lifestyles of people here."
- Barbara G. (Ireland)

“Before going on this trip I would not have considered myself to be a tour type person … Now I look forward to being able to join Ihla on one of her future trips.”
– Wendy I. (Greece)

“A very affordable trip to a lovely spa where we were pampered every day.”
– Nancy C. (Ixtapan Spa)
“The grounds were so lovely and the whole Spa trip was relaxing and so much fun. I loved it all.”
– Audrey O. (Ixtapan Spa)
