There are so many good things to say about our group leader, Meredith Wright, that I don’t know where to begin. The main reason I went on this tour (and had a friend join me), was because Meredith led the trip I took with Road Scholar to Asheville, earlier this year, and she had did such a fantastic job. She did just as wonderful a job, if not better, on this trip, and I had such an amazing time. I have traveled extensively all over the world, and been on numerous tours, and Meredith stands apart as one of the best tour leaders. Meredith has such a wonderful and unique combination of skills to keep everything organized and on track, yet makes the trip so fun and enjoyable. She also has a gift for making each person feel valued and special as part of her group, and is so knowledgeable about every place we went to see. I had such a fantastic time on this tour from start to finish; each meal was amazing, the activities were wonderful, I loved the hotels, and the guides were each great. I give this tour the highest rating possible, and also give our tour leader, Meredith Wright the best possible praise for doing such a truly great job. I will highly recommend this trip to my friends and would be happy to go on any tours in the future that Meredith leads. Thank you for a very special and happy trip!
