Extraordinary European vacations for lovers of arts and culture

I loved the diversity of experiences. The amount of unscheduled time was perfect. I appreciated the enthusiasm from our hosts William and Alex and knitter extraordinaire Dorothy. The MKAL project was challenging enough for the expert knitters, yet approachable for the less experienced with Dorothy's supportive coaching.

William and Alex excelled at everything from helping with a passport issue to finding a great spot to eat local clams. They have delightful personalities, and seem to really enjoy curating experiences that weave spontaneity and curiosity with careful research and planning - the perfect blend! Their tours sell out for a reason, and I am still gleefully amazed that I got in from the waiting list.

The personalized attention we all received was remarkable. Alex and William took the time to get to know each of us individually and ensured that we were always having fun. They made sure every comfort was addressed, whether it was dietary needs or activity tolerance. I was amazed at how smoothly everything came together without any stress.

This tour was curated to perfection. The variety of activities was outstanding. For me, the knowledge and history shared by the artisans of Portugal, along with their dedication and passion for keeping their art alive, was extraordinary. The bonding with our hosts, instructor, and fellow participants was incredible—friends for life!
