Wonderful experience!! People in Spain are so nice. Sean Berg does a fantastic job tailoring the experiences to the size of the group. Excursions and restaurant choices were wonderful. A great mix of planned experiences and free time. Thank you for a very memorable trip!

Great time. The London tour manager, Stephen Rhind, was excellent. He was a walking encyclopedia of information with a great personality. Thank you Sean Berg and Sechrist Travel for a well organized trip.

Thanks Sean for your work with BVA. It was a great opportunity for the choir to perform in the churches and cathedrals in Italy, France and UK. We appreciate your assistance in communicating the schedules and travel so we could attend the concerts.

Thank you Sean and Angela for your valuable parts in putting together the Spain Trip. The tours were great and so were the accommodations. The guides were all spectacular, especially in dealing with odd situations that arose. These things are much appreciated.
The main item for improvement would be the food provided. As we are vegan and gluten-free, we were not able to get enough food, especially protein during most of the meals. If the meals could be heartier, using vegan/gluten-free recipes or suggestions from nearby vegan restaurants, that would be awesome!
Example: vegan restaurants in Barcelona, close to the 1st hotel: https://www.google.com/maps/search/vegan+Restaurants/@41.3899058,2.1541864,3481m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m8!2m7!3m5!2sHotel+Exe+Cristal+Palace!3s0x12a4a2f295ae4fa9:0x5a1a5c7291c594da!4m2!1d2.1660453!2d41.3899139!6e5?entry=ttu

Very well-organized. Impressed how the team kept such a large group of us organized, and on time. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guides. Never felt under pressure. Plenty of free time and flexibility. Would have preferred tastier food options but understood that feeding large groups at the same often means sacrificing quality.
