PEOPLE ARE TALKING . . .

We want you to know how much we enjoyed our Italian adventure. Our trip was perfect. We had a fantastic time and will let our friends know how wonderful Venture Out's tours are. We look forward to enjoying another adventure soon.— Art B & Mark E, Los Angeles, CA

The whole experience was a series of unanticipated pleasures. Great food from animals and their parts I had never planned to touch let alone enjoy. Much more developed architecture than I had been led to believe existed there in cities I would have visited with no one but you, and two different peoples where I had expected only two variations on a theme. As the son and brother of teachers learning that you were a teacher explains a lot to me why your tours are so much more that just a group of happy homos seeing the sights. While we did have fun and our escort certainly recharged a number of our hunk fantasies as well as intellectual curiosity, we got a feeling for civilizations beyond just a series of good photo ops. As you mentioned earlier, it was a more expensive and longer trip than usual, but the quality of the hotels (hot boutique to former palace), dining experiences (over the top drag restaurant to patio of a Chateau and Relais resort), and large variety of sites gave full value for the time and money.
— Tom B, Washington, DC

My partner and I have had the pleasure of traveling with Venture Out on many occasions. Robert is a consummate professional. One of the things we most enjoy about traveling with him is that there is nothing to worry about. Robert attends to every detail. And, his trips always include locations, hotels and adventures you could never find on your own. I know for a fact that Rich and I are not the only ones who feel this way. We have friends here in the Bay Area who have traveled with Venture Out on many occasions and we have made friends on Robert’s trips, whom we see again and again on subsequent Venture Out tours. —
Dave M & Rich K, San Francisco

We had an absolutely fabulous time in Amalfi. It was quite a special experience and one that has left us with incredible memories that are still vivid now.
— Marge D & Ronnie M, Boston

The trip to Peru was the best group tour I've ever taken. —
Rodney T, San Francisco

I want you to know that I had a truly wonderful time — again! Several times I was literally overwhelmed. I will never forget our lunch on Capri with the Faraglioni far below us. I have to say I got tears in my eyes standing in the house of that lovely family who cared for the monks of San Domenico. Just seeing the house and the wine casks and the oven and knowing they had lived there for generations, above the sea, was a real gift. So, thanks, as always for providing the means for delightful travel in wonderful accommodations with great guides.
—Jerome M, New York, NY

We can't express enough how wonderful this trip has been. It exceeded our expectations. Thank you for putting together such a wonderful experience. — Judy O and Ingrid D, California

The trip was sensational — the usual exquisite attention to detail and the experiences we know we simply would not have had if we'd been on our own . . . the meals we cooked, the special lunches, the conviviality of the group. Sergio is a real treasure, needless to say. — Steve M & Chris D, San Diego

Your trips set the standard by which all others are judged. They are by far the finest I have ever taken. —
George K., Illinois

The trip was great and I want to thank you for all your silent organization that made it smooth and very much fun. I would do a trip with you again any time. I was very impressed with your way of having everything in readiness.
— Lawrence H, San Francisco

Thank you again for the fine holiday. It met every hope I had for it, and I look forward to telling others about Venture Out.
— Nat W, Arlington, VA

I really want to thank you for a great trip. We both really enjoyed ourselves and have lots of great memories.
— Gary B & Bryan T, DeKalb Jct., NY

I had one of the best times of my life on this trip... I so enjoyed our accommodations and destinations and the care and thought you put into your choices that I will long be recommending your tours to my traveling friends... Every day of this trip was full of pleasure for me... Thank you for a wonderful time.
— Jerome M, New York

I would not have seen myself as the "tour type," having always made my own arrangements when traveling. What I learned is that letting someone else arrange things makes for a very relaxing trip. The food was incredible, and I would not have had those kinds of culinary experiences on my own. This was a trip I will always remember. I enjoyed my fellow travelers and felt very comfortable. Thanks for a great trip.
— Janet L, Sacramento, CA

Thank you so much for all you did to make this a wonderful trip. We can only guess about how much you did behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly... We hope to join another Venture Out tour in the not-too-distant future.
— Dave and David, St. Louis

How lucky for me to have found Venture Out and to have taken this trip! It was an experience I'll never forget thanks to your expert planning and management. Many thanks!
— Doug C, San Francisco

In so many ways the trip you organized has been wonderful... Every aspect of this trip showed attention to detail and was noticed and greatly appreciated... Thank you for all that you have done to make this a truly great vacation for me.
— Eddy G, Washington DC

The great thing about your tours is that, while the sites, hotels and meals are quite special, they don't come across as a promoted manufactured experience.
— Tom B, Washington DC

Thank you for putting together such a memorable trip. Everything was first-class, and I couldn't have asked for a better week... I especially enjoyed the opportunity to travel with such a nice group of people... You were all great tour leaders and added so much to the trip... It was a unique experience, and I'm looking forward to more adventures in the future.
— Eric S, San Francisco

Many thanks for another wonderful trip. You did a superb job of organizing all of the intricate details.. I enjoyed every minute of it. We had a great group and that added to the fun... I am ready for the next one!
— George K, Illinois

We are on Cloud Nine. The trip could not have been any more fun. — James L and Byron I, South Carolina

I want to thank you for a wonderful time. I've been praising Venture Out to all my friends.
— Bob F, San Francisco

My thanks for all of your efforts in making our trip so exceptional. It could not have been a better experience for me, and I won't forget it.
— Fred G, Los Angeles

Thank you for all your efforts in making this a spectacular trip! We can't imagine a better way to have seen Italy for the first (but not last!) time. We are looking forward to our next Venture Out vacation.
  — Kelly K and Les Y, San Francisco

I don't think I could have had a better experience as a first-timer to Italy... You put together a great trip.
— John P, Pennsylvania
