Ludwigsburg naar Mainz

September 26 - Oktober 03 / 2024

Gary and I just returned from Germany on Oct. 6. Although we spent some time on our own after we disembarked. The highlight was, without question, our time with the Merlijn. It was so evident that folks have worked very hard to put together a top notch, flawless adventure. Everything was considered and brought to life. It could not have been an easy journey from buying to boat to first clients boarding. I'm sure you must have been full of apprehension. However, rest assured you have succeeded in every possible way. We couldn't have been more comfortable if we had been at home. You have the unique ability to attract nothing but the finest and most personable and professional employees. All of that starts at the top and is reflected throughout. Christina, the food was amazing! Totally Gourmet! Thank you so much for accommodating my very small appetite. It's such a waste to leave food. We thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Thomas. He was fun and resourceful and when a "plan B" was required, he was able to cheerfully switch directions and make that fun too. We found that most endearing. Bruno is an amazing in so many ways. His knowledge of Wine (Port, in particular) is unsurpassed. Unfortunately the unsung hero's are those that we were unable to interact with. The rooms were clean and well cared for. Our laundry was beautifully done - complete with socks matched. The boat overall was impeccable! Dare I mention the Wine Tour in Nierstein? It is our recommendation that Werner Conin should be a keeper for your future tours. His humility and passion brought tears to my eyes. May he never lose those traits. We enjoyed a bottle of his wine on our Thanksgiving and it was very well received by our guests. I just wish I could have impressed upon our guests how lovely a man he is. Gary and I want to thank you for totally 5 star vacation complete with 5 star guests. We sincerely hope to return in the next few years and once again, share in your beautiful adventures. If I say much more, I fear that you may never get your heads through a doorway. Every word is the truth from our hearts. From our hearts, Thank you, Gary Nichols and Corinne Bader Sechelt, BC Canada
