Meet a few of our Tour Directors:

 

Luis LopesLuis Lopes
--- frequent director of Unforgetable Spain & Portugal

“Music reveals the roots of a culture. In Spain we enjoy the traditional, sensual flamenco. While the fado, in Portugal, enchants travelers with its romantic intensity.”

 

 

 

 


Ian McKinvenIan McKinven
--- frequent director of Grand Tour de France

“It is always very touching to visit Normandy with Americans. But this year our visit will definitely be one of the highlights of the tour, and a very emotional moment, as we commemorate the 65th anniversary of the D-day landings.”

 

 

 

 

Ricardo PanarreoRiccardo Panareo
--- frequent director of Scenic Roads of Italy

“If Dubrovnik is the pearl of the Adriatic, the Cinque Terre is a string of pearls on the Ligurian Coastline. With medieval charm, and a history of pirates, the wild romance of these villages clinging to the mountainside is truly a delight!”

 

 

 


Karl SchedererKarl Schederer
--- frequent director of Jewels of Central Europe

“Experience these wonderful European cultures by feasting on local dishes---schnitzel and apple strudel in Salzburg, Bohemian meats and dumplings in Prague, and Hungarian Goulash in Budapest!”

 

 

 


Alfred HenrichAlfred Henrich
--- frequent director of Grand Italia

“Years of successful running have smoothed this itinerary into the perfect blend of famous cities and green countryside; dense days of site visits and relaxing scenic driving days. At the end, a traveler can really say, "I visited Italy."”

 

 

 


Dawn HutchinsonDawn Hutchinson
--- frequent director of Switzerland and Glacier Express

“Zermatt is really my favorite place on this tour, mainly because of the Matterhorn. It is so spectacular! When we get into Zermatt, suddenly the mountain is right there, looming over the city, so close you feel you can touch it!”


 

 

 

Chantal BoutetChantal Boutet
--- frequent director of Grand Tour de France

“Our first stop in Provence, Avignon, is one of my favorite parts of the Grand Tour de France. There is a distinctive Italian flavor to the city, complete with a warm climate, wonderful food, and the relaxed pace typical of Southern France. The French may know how to enjoy life; in Avignon, we all do.”

 

 

 

Alex GolovkoAlex Golovko
--- frequent director of Imperial Russia and the Baltic States

“It is a real treat to take my visitors to the Kremlin---for most people it is something they have heard about all their lives, or seen in the movies. It’s a treat to be able to see it in real life in all of its impressive beauty, and we really get a great tour!”

 

 

 

George ZachasGeorge Zachas
--- frequent director of Greek Island & Istanbul Cruise

“My fancy is Ephesus: archeology at its best! The ancient city, built by Greeks and conquered by Romans, was buried by an earthquake. It is a mind-boggling experience The only down-side is any other archeological site is slightly disappointing after Ephesus.”
