We had a wonderful time, Liz was the consummate hostess. The food and wine was outstanding. The excursions were interestingting and varied. The meals were delicious, we enjoyed every meal. Liz made us a cake to celebrate. She discussed the menu with us beforehand, and made adjustments if necessary. She was very accommodating. The wines were delicious. Loved the route. It was so picturesque. I loved that we didn't have a lot of locks. I also loved the variety of our moorings. Some busier that others. The dinners on the deck were the high point. It was such a beautiful setting. And the food and wine were outstanding. We enjoyed sitting out after dinner listening to music and looking at the stars. Our time aboard the Emma was magical. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.

Very memorable experience which combined casual cruising, historic exploration of surrounding cultural sites experiencing exceptional local wine and cheeses. The food was a taste delight. The cruise route is picturesque and tranquil with something different around every corner. It is easy to get off and walk along the path or ride bikes at any time.

WOW!!! Liz, Rene, Amanda and Rosie took great care of us throughout the week. There was nothing overlooked in the way of exceptional service. There were sumptuous meals on the table every day, every meal. The meals included many dishes we had never had before and so it was not only a great learning experience but also wonderful creativity with lots of fresh ingredients. Fresh bread and pastries each day was also a real treat. The wines were excellent and we really enjoyed the variety of local wines some of which we helped select on our tasting room day. Liz and I agreed this was the best overall vacation that we have ever taken. The experience was exceptional and we will have wonderful memories of a great trip for the rest of our lives. Thanks to Rene and Liz for putting such a wonderful experience together.
