The Carolina Master Chorale Tours Spain
The Carolina Master Chorale arrived home on Monday night. Our last flight was about a half hour behind, but otherwise travel logistics throughout the tour transpired smoothly and with no noticeable hitches.
I believe that without exception, every member of our tour group had a spectacular time in Spain. When I have a moment I will write in more detail about the many rewarding experiences of the tour and the handful of minor concerns that might help us plan a future tour for equal success.
My purpose in writing today is to tell you that our tour guide, Iris Paz Martinez, was, by a very wide margin, the finest guide with whom I have ever worked. She would be my first choice for any locale in which she is licensed, and I would expect that she is the first choice of MCI. I can’t imagine entrusting a tour to more capable expertise. Iris is highly intelligent, even-tempered, quick-witted, personable, creative, knowledgeable, resourceful, forward-thinking, accommodating, and much more. There is no question that Iris made our tour considerably more enjoyable, rewarding and successful than it would have been under any of the large majority of professional tour guides that may be eligible to work for MCI. Surely you have heard similar reports from others, and I would expect that you will hear from many in my group. Hiring Iris is a guarantee that your tour will be handled in the most thorough and professional manner.
Cost aside, this was the best of six European tours in which I have been a participant or leader. I heard others comment that this was the best Carolina Master Chorale tour of the five taken in the history of the organization. Thank you for engaging Iris Paz Martinez to lead our tour, and for arranging excellent venues, hotels, and sight-seeing tours which thrilled our touring members.
Kind Regards,
