Dear Greg, Your words truly mean the world to us. Thank you—not only for this beautiful review, but for choosing to travel with us again. Knowing that, after a lifetime of remarkable experiences, Normandy stands among your most memorable is an incredible honor. Curious travelers like you (and yes, Randy! 😊) are what make these journeys so much more than sightseeing—they become shared learning experiences and lasting friendships. Thank you for your trust, your enthusiasm, and the generosity you bring to every group. We can't wait to see where our next detour together takes us! Warmly, Christoph & Taunya

Dear Dale, Thank you for your kind review. We're thrilled you had such a great experience. We believe the magic is in the details—a small group, wonderful fellow travelers, knowledgeable local experts, and experiences that bring a destination to life. Thank you for trusting us with your journey, and we hope we'll have the chance to travel together again soon! Warmly, Christoph & Taunya

Dear JoAnn, It was such fun traveling with you! Thank you so much for your kind words! It means so much to hear that Portugal lived up to your hopes and that the journey felt like traveling with good friends—that's exactly the experience we hope to create. We're so grateful you chose to travel with us, and we can't wait to welcome you on another Dressler Detour soon! Warmly, Taunya & Christoph

Dear Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and for recognizing so many of the things that made the trip enjoyable. It was wonderful to hear that you enjoyed Bayeux, the itinerary, the accommodations, and especially the friendships that developed along the way. As you know, just one week before departure we were faced with an unexpected medical emergency that left Steve unable to lead the tour. At that point, we had two choices: cancel a trip that everyone had been planning for months or find someone willing to step in with only a few days' notice. Randy graciously volunteered to do just that. We completely understand your observation that Randy is not Steve. Steve's knowledge of Normandy, D-Day, and the Second World War is the result of decades of study, research, and pure passion, and there simply isn't anyone who can duplicate that experience on a week's notice. While Randy holds a Ph.D. in Classical History and came to the trip well-read on World War II, his greatest contribution was making sure the tour could still happen and that our guests were able to experience Normandy rather than face a last-minute cancellation. We're deeply grateful to Randy for his willingness to step in under such difficult circumstances, and we're equally grateful for your understanding during what was an unusual situation for all of us. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and will certainly take your comments about the educational and commemorative aspects of the experience to heart as we continue to improve our tours. Thank you again for traveling with us, and we hope we'll have the opportunity to travel together again under happier—and less eventful—circumstances. Warmly, Christoph & Taunya
