Comments of travelers with Abruzzo Tours

November 2005

Vince Backstrom - Palos Park IL, USA

I want to thank you for all of the work done in researching my family history, translating my uncle's story of his memories of Pescara, and escorting us on our trip. Meeting my relatives, and having them take us to the neighborhood where my ancestors lived and worked was all I could have hoped for, and something I will always treasure. The hotel accommodations were excellent as well, and our view of the Adriatic was spectacular.

The side trip we made to Atri was also most enjoyable. I'll never forget the store merchant pouring me a bottle of his own freshly made olive oil, straight out of the urn behind the counter. Finally, what can I say about the meals! Our lunch in Pescara was magnificent, and the lunch the following day at the Agriturismo in Silvi was unlike any we had ever experienced. Someday, we hope to return for your Food and Wine Tour, to experience more of the same.

Thanks again, for a wonderful time. All of our expectations were well met.
