"Many trips have so many logistical details that it takes all of
the fun out of it. On this trip, you did all the work so all we
had to do was relax and enjoy it.
Our thanks to you and our wonderful musicians for making this our
best cruise yet."
Carol & Doug Crowell - Iowa
(G, M, H Norway Cruise-August, 2012) |
"I really enjoy getting to
know the performers as people, and meeting other people who like
them too. Having met these people, I expect to see many of them
again at folk venues to continue the pleasure of their company."

"It was a well-planned trip and you
did a very "caring" job with get-togethers and helpful information.
The whole group were most kind to help me on steps and to avoid
stumbles, and I appreciate that.
I would be happy to recommend Traveling Troubadour to anyone."
Jean Blewett,

Cruises are luxurious & fun, but adding the music
we love makes it outstanding!

It was nice spending time
with Carolyn (Hester) and her family, whom I've known for years,
and meeting the Shaw Brothers and also others in our group.
It has been a very relaxing time.
Jerry Faris, California
(Hester-Shaw Cruise-May, 2012)
"If I were to Google "Experience of a Lifetime", the
page that pops up shows a detailed chronicle of this Traveling
Troubadour trip. In the middle of it all I fully expected
to be shaken out of a sound sleep and told I had been grinning
like a monkey. And singing."

"I signed on for the Chad Mitchell Trio cruise with high hopes,
so was surprised when my expectations were exceeded. I
knew I would enjoy the scenery and the music, but I didn't plan
on the easy access to the performers, the friendliness of the
group, the quality of the get-togethers or the bonus nightly jam
sessions with the musicians. The cruise was so well
organized; even those of us who were first times felt like part
of the group from day one. Thanks, Lynette, for a
wonderful sailing experience."

 Lynette's
professionalism is obvious; her concern for those details to
make every vacation as enjoyable as it can be is her
Tour De Force.
Traveling Troubadour is
first-rate and top shelf!

"The Veendam experience was great all
around, but we came on this particular trip because of your
extra value contribution, and that made this trip extraordinary! We
loved the concerts, the DVD showing of old Chad Mitchell Trio video, and as a
special bonus, we were blown away by Jack Williams, both the man and his music,
whom we didn't know about at all before this trip! Thank you so much for
everything! We'd love to do something like this with you again!

"The Mack Bailey cruise was fabulous. Not only did Mack sing beautifully
in his concerts, but Lynette was a true maestro behind the scenes. She
orchestrated everything from booking and travel arrangements, to being a
gracious hostess at the receptions and arranging the concerts. Lynette's
dealings with both the artist and the passengers were friendly, professional, and responsive. She took care of all details and ensured
that everyone had an easy and fun time. Traveling Troubadour "rocks." I
can't wait for their next musical adventure."

My
wife says it all better. She gets her anniversary cruise,
enjoys the Trio, Paul and Tom (Paxton). What a deal! We
are so much more than mere spectators. Not exactly
"Roadies", but we're up close and personal with almost
everyone. It's like visiting with your best friends -
which we also did.
