"This was such a great tour. We saw and experienced so many historical
places. Loved the castles and the gardens. The Outlander connections
were fun. Linda was as good as you said she would be. You took the hard

Thank you so much."

I have traveled with Traveling
Troubadour three times and each time had the most wonderful trips of my life.
My first was to Ireland with Mack Bailey and loved every moment. But my
trip in August to Scotland was even more fabulous. I had always dreamed
of seeing Scotland and Lynette and her team made this a truly memorable
trip. They even agreed to make a couple additions to the itinerary to
visit some Outlander sites after I introduced Lynette to this wonderful
series of novels. In both trips the guides we had were so fabulous.
Within a day or two you felt like you were making real friends. I
recommend Traveling Troubadour to anyone looking for a wonderful trip.
Carole Bell - New Jersey
(Scotland, 2015, 2017 and Ireland, 2004) |
"We took
the Canadian Maritimes cruise June 8-15, 2013, and had a
wonderful time. Traveling
Troubadour took care of everything. Everyone was happy - us, the fans
who sailed with us, the workers in the
showroom - everyone. We highly
recommend Traveling Troubadour. They were
very conscientious about communications
with us along the way, and bent over
backwards to assure everyone had a stellar cruise experience. We would
book with them anytime. Thanks!"
The Kingston Trio |
“Lynette organized
three awesome wine tasting luncheons on our Med cruise last June
- in Montenegro, Istanbul, and Ephesus. They were so special for
our little cruise group. She sponsored other events on board our
Holland America Med cruise. Loved it!”
Mary Alice Cross - Virginia
(Winery Cruise – June, 2012) "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."

"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) |

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."
Vicki Kelsey - New York

"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.

"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."

enjoys the Trio, Paul and Tom (Paxton). What a deal! We
are so much more than mere spectators. Not exactly
