      Lafayette visit
      Our stay at the Juliet Hotel made it easy to attend the Festival. The staff was helpful and friendly. The Hotel is located in the historic area of Lafayette, LA next to the U. of Louisiana, Lafayette.

      Fantastic
      One of the best museums we have ever been to, this includes The British Museum in London, every item is very well displayed and the artefacts are almost perfect condition after 3000 years!

      A worthwhile visit
      Visited as part of a tour group with a local guide . Wow…….just wow . These are breathtaking, probably the best preserved mosaics we have ever seen . There are so many & many are in very good repair . Beautiful pictures , colours and patterns. If you get the chance do go & see them . It’s well worth it .

      Private tour of Otranto
      We had a very enjoyable and informative private tour of Otranto. Valeria was energetic and knowledgeable about the history and culture of Otranto, and passionate about her heritage. We saw the highlights of the old town and port of Otranto. I highly recommend Valeria and her tour of Otranto.

      Fabulous Mauritania
      Our group of 4 was guided through Mauritania by Hadrami Bouh who owns Tour in Mauritania. Bouh lead us through his country, where his family has lived for many generations. We learned about his father and grandfather making haji by camel. He showed us cave paintings, the Eye of the Sahara along with the ancient cities along the caravan routes to the sea. Not only is he very knowledgeable about the country and the geography, he was very open to all of our questions about his and his family's lives. Our group was comprised of very experienced travelers. Each of us has been to over 200 different countries. We all agreed that Bouh was among the best guide we've had. I can't say enough about him. I highly -- very highly -- recommend him.

      Incredible monastery
      This is definitely a hidden gem and the biggest Charterhouse in Europe. We were on our way south a stayed in this lovely mountainside town. It is known for this incredible UNESCO site from the year 1306!! It is easy to spend several hours going through the beautiful marble chapels, eating area, living quarters for thee cloistered monks. We were so glad we happened upon it.

      Amazing tour guide and city!
      We had the most amazing time with our private tour guide, Antonio. His vast knowledge of Conversano as well as history in general made it extra interesting. He even shared historical info with us about other areas we had already visited in the Puglia region. He was kind, well-versed in English, and interesting. Even our teens were interested in listening to him. We will definitely be booking more tours with Antonio next time we visit Puglia.

      Six, if not seven, stars
      This site is fabulous if you are even remotely interested in mosaics. The site is a palace rather than a villa and is quite extensive. Some has been reconstructed so you get a good sense of the original buildings. The mosaic floors are incredibly extensive and fantastic. Access is via raised walkways, which are quite narrow Go at a time when it will be quiet as it can get very busy and noisy

      San Giovanni Rotunda tour
      Tour was well worth the cost. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable about Padre Pio and the surrounding area. Saw things we would not have found on our own.
