As always, this trip was amazing! We go to experience the music, arts, culture and history of someplace new. Nanda delivers, and then some. The participants always become family. Our shared experiences in the many areas of music and education mixed with those things that are unique to individuals creates a wonderful blend of perspectives as we meet with our counterparts. Trip was no exception. Our visits with the Finnish musicians and teachers, the tours to the various sites, museums, craft people, and FOOD were terrific! My personal favorite experience on this trip was watching a rehearsal of "Peter and the Wolf" in the Helsinki Orchestra Hall. It was a unique performance, and most delightful! My Nanda adventure is always on the top of the list of things I anticipate. My fellow travelers are like a second family. Our leader, Lynn, is SO completely amazing! Thank you, Nanda, for coming into my life at the time when I needed it most.

I believe you know (or we hope you do) how important you are to this special Nanda Music family. its a joy and a privilege to see this group meet annually somewhere new in the world. Next up Germany, which I know you are not in the least but excited about :-) :-) Thanks for patiently waiting for "your" destination - we promise we will make it special. Nicola

This was an amazing, life-changing experience for me! The people we met and new relationships will stay with me forever. The South Africans were so friendly and genuinely wanted us to have a fabulous time in their country. From hotel staff to safari guides, to the incredible members of the Knysna U3A program, everyone went out of their way to ensure our needs were met. I was so surprised by the food, too, everywhere we ate (even the airplane food on the domestic flights) was fabulous. Then there was the learning opportunities which were so rich and meaningful, Nanda Journeys provided top-notch speakers and opportunities to meet and share with locals. I can't say enough about how terrific the entire program was and how smoothly everything ran.

Judy, thank you so much for your kind words. It was an honor and privilege to curate this experience with you. I'm overjoyed that the experiences that we designed for your OLLI members resonated with them and that everyone enjoyed their time in South Africa. Nanda Journeys is excited for the 2027 Eckerd partnership. Nicola

This was my third trip with Nanda Journeys, and each experience has been even better than the last. The NBASLH Journey to Tanzania exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived at the airport until my departure, every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. I was especially impressed by the guides. They were knowledgeable, professional, organized, and always smiling. They made me feel welcomed, safe, and well cared for throughout the entire trip. Their attention to detail and genuine commitment to providing an outstanding experience made all the difference. I truly enjoyed the perfect balance of professional learning, cultural immersion, community engagement, and unforgettable wildlife experiences. Nanda Journeys continues to deliver exceptional travel experiences, and I highly recommend them. I am already looking forward to my next adventure with Nanda Journeys. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I enjoyed all aspects of the tour and learned so much about Irish culture and history. Friendly people, great guides, interesting sights. Brian Matthews, our main guide, shared a wealth of information in an engaging way. All of the other guides were great! Food and accommodations were fine. We had a nice balance of activities, some of which I wouldn't have done on my own: baking bread at the thatched cottage and Irish dancing. Those were nice respites from the seriousness of learning about the Troubles. As a result of this experience I have a greater understanding of and respect for Ireland and her people.

We loved this journey! We got to experience so many wonderful parts of Australia & New Zealand, learn about their history & culture, stayed in awesome local hotels, & ate yummy food. Nicola & Dominic were wonderful hosts & had local guides & drivers who provided additional insight into those 2 amazing countries' history & culture. Every detail was obviously carefully planned & journey unfolded flawlessly. Love Nanda Journeys. Our 5th journey with Nanda.
