Testimonials
"I just wanted to pass along our sincere
appreciation for the time and effort that you put into the fabulous
culinary exploration of Provence and
the Rhone
Valley.
Everyone had a fantastic time . . . when I try to reflect on the
highlights of the trip . . . I begin to realize that there were too
many to mention; just know that we all came away with memories and
impressions that will last a lifetime."
-Hampton, N.H.
"Just a line to say how much we
enjoyed the Normandy
tour . . . The hotels were lovely, the food divine! The
itinerary was just great. We will absolutely travel with you
again - perhaps Alsace
next spring. Your word-of-mouth from us will be totally positive.
Thanks again for a great experience."
-San Luis Obispo, CA

Bonjour, mes amis!
We hope you
are starting off the new year with good health, more dollars in the
bank than last year, and sweet dreams of travel!
We have been busy gearing up for the twelve 2010 tours listed
here and many custom tours a number of you have asked us to prepare.
For some strange and wonderful reason, the euro and
pound are down against the dollar, making travel to Europe this year even more enticing. The
way the high dollar helps Olde Ipswich Tours is by making it possible to
run each tour with a lower minimum number of guests. So far,
almost all the tours are looking like they will run. So pack
your bags and join us!!!
Jean,
Nick and Vicki
