The trip was wonderful and our fellow passengers were a lot of fun and easy to engage in conversation.. So grateful I didn't have to drive this time.

It was overall an enjoyable trip with room for improvement. There seemed to be a disconnect between your company and the organizers who were with us. The food which was included (2 meals I believe) was good enough, nothing to write home about. Big disappointment with the welcome dinner due to miscommunication (see above). Theater seats were also good enough. The hotel was comfortable and well situated.

I had a great time. The bus driver was amazing, and the bus ride was very comfortable with rest room stops and lunch/dinner stops at different places. The stay at Plaza Inn Suites was comfortable, but please remember to get your facts right. There is an Elevator at this hotel (contrary to what you told us). The dining at Larks was a bit mismanaged, as my friend didn’t get any dinner and I didn’t get dessert, but the rest of the stay in Ashland was amazing including the prefaces and lectures before the plays. The communication for the timings and locations could have been less confusing though. Thank you to all the organizers for putting this tour together. I had a lot of fun especially at the picnic in Lithia park. ❤️🙏🏽!Looking forward to doing this again next year!

It was a memorable experience. wonderful weather, fabulous theatre, enjoyable company. Transportation was exceptional. There were a few glitches with timing - the schedule on arrival day was too ambitious so the arrival dinner became a disaster. Accommodations were excellent and our bus driver was outstanding.

Thank you for arranging this trip. I enjoyed meeting everyone and it was a wonderful experience. Our coach driver was excellent. Maria was fantastic in addressing our questions. The Oxbow Market and the Redding Public Market were good choices. Nice hotel with a decent breakfast and the benefit of the afternoon wine tasting. The mini schedule handout was a nice touch. I loved the schedule though as we discussed it may be easier to have more optional selections for those who don't want to see 2 plays a day or attend talks. In terms of logistics, it might make more sense to arrive the first day and not have any activity other than a group dinner. It would be wonderful for first timers to take the Behind the Scenes Tour the next day to familarize themselves with the area. For the last day, often travelers just want to go home. After breakfast, please consider skipping the group lunch in the park. It was a nice thought and the food delicious. We could gather for a late lunch or early dinner at the Oxbow Market instead. The day seemed too long and getting back to Hammer Theatre at 9:30pm isn't ideal for some of us. Thank you again for offering this trip!
