Ben and June did a wonderful job on coordinating with Europa Holiday Tour Company to request Johnny Tan (who led our Spain and Portugal Tour in 2016) to be our tour manager.  Eruopa Holiday also recruited couples from California and New York to form this group of 21 members.  The accommodation (lodging and meals) were just superb. We all had a wonderful time in this entire trip.  Thanks to Ben and June.

BTW, Ben already shared his wonderful photos with everyone, and I have to borrow many of his photos for this blog.  Thanks, Ben for sharing!
