"The Verdi, Puccini & Mozart in Italy tour (October, 2009) was perfect from start to finish - we had no problem anywhere and loved the performances and the tours and the wonderful dinners. You have gone above and beyond my expectations. We enjoyed staying at all of the hotels on the tour - each hotel had something different to offer. I loved looking out of our window at the hotel in Parma - it was like being transported back in time. We'll never forget this trip."

"Very delighted that I did the Seattle Ring (August, 2009) with Aria Tours. I really enjoyed staying at the Fairmont, and having its High Tea, which I thought was a great touch. Thank you again for everything. Great Job!!!"

"Tom and I want to thank you again for a wonderful Santa Fe Festival trip (August, 2009). Everything was perfect. The hotel was top-notch, the meals were all delicious, the wines (of course) were superb, the company was excellent, and the operas were great. We enjoyed the opportunity to get to know you (and everyone else) and hopefully will have a chance to do another trip in the future. Many thanks for all your efforts."
— Frank O.

"Autumn in Ontario 2008 was not only the best performing arts tour we've taken, but one of the best trips of any type either of us has been on. There was just the right combination of outstanding drama and music, elegant accommodations, superb food and wine, touring, and free time. Your concern for detail and for the comfort of your clients was evident at all times. We look forward to travelling with Aria Tours again.”
— Phil & Carol C.

"Verdi's Italy 2008 was an outstanding trip in every way: caring, well-balanced, and wonderful. The tempo, for having so much to do, was perfect. We loved the walking, not being confined to the bus, the careful selection of just the most important sights, and the food and wine were superb (my favorite meal was the wine tasting in Milan; I think Ivan's may have been the one in Busetto or maybe in Padua, but we loved them all). We haven't stopped talking about it."
— Ruth and Ivan R.

"Thanks to your careful planning, the Puccini Festival 2008 trip was a great success. We enjoyed it tremendously. In your Lucca hotel you have found a true winner. It is the best boutique hotel we have stayed in. The staff are exceptional."
— Thomas & Margaret H.

"We can't say enough good things about our Florence, Turin & Milan '08 trip. The hotels, restaurants, tour guides, and opera performances were all first class. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt very well taken care of the entire time. Thank you for doing such a great job in preparing the trip for us."
— Sandra F.

"We have now settled back into our daily routine, which is...a little boring compared with the fun we had on the Aria trip to Prague & Vienna (December, 2007). Apart from the quality of the performances and tours you selected, it was your tireless dedication to the smooth operation of the tour which makes us look back so fondly on the trip."
— Heinz & Sisi H.

"You did a FABULOUS job taking care of us! We were not disappointed with even ONE minute of our trip. My family had a wonderful time under your amazing and attentive care; everything went so smoothly for us each and every day. We cannot think of ONE thing extra that you could have done."
— Laura T., Ontario '07

"Our tour...was, by far, the highlight of my year (in fact, the 5 years of my retirement), and your caring presence was instrumental in making it such a pleasure. I especially appreciated your understanding that sometimes I needed space, for example, to be in a garden instead of touring a castle. I deeply appreciated your flexibility and trust in allowing me reasonable freedom to seek that personal balance between aloneness and the necessity of being part of a group. I was equally struck by the seeming ease with which you related to all our disparate personalities and needs."
— Margaret B., Scandinavia '03

"Thank you for the special care, concern, attention and compassion that you paid to us without being overbearing...as a tour director, you did an outstanding job."
— Deborah and Lester P., Bayreuth '06
