Tour Reviews by our Clients

I feel very privileged to have participated in a number of Music Lovers Tours with OPERATIF! both overseas and in Australia, and am looking forward to more with wonderful feelings of excitement, pleasure, delight and confidence. As with previous tours there are many ‘returnees’ the surest indication of satisfaction! Our accommodation is always first rate re location if in a city and ambience if in the countryside. Variety of concerts, music and dinners is first rate and then, there are those extra treats that are so memorable. You have the ability to meld individuals into a convivial group whilst each is free to participate as desired. Many thanks! Fay T,  (Many tours)


A big thank you for planning and escorting us on our memorable three week musical Bohemian Tour. We saw such beautiful cities from Salzburg, to Vienna, Prague and Budapest and sat in their stunning theatres. All that we did together, including our musical Danube dinner cruise was wonderful. The lovely central hotels made it easy for us to wander in and out at our leisure and you were both always at our service. We had many unexpected inclusions and the whole tour far exceeded my expectations. This truly was my dream ‘Tour of a Lifetime. I, like many other repeat OPERATIF! travellers, look forward to joining you on future Tours. Thank you sincerely.

 I so thoroughly enjoyed traveling with you to Italy on our wonderful Viva Verdi tour in October. It was truly the trip of a lifetime for me. Thank you both very much for your careful planning and convivial direction of the trip. It was really a fantastic experience. I have been fortunate to visit Italy five times, but it is a place one never can get enough of. You both made it very delightful indeed! I really enjoyed the focus on the life of Verdi and our visits to so many places of musical significance. Our evenings at the opera were unforgettable.

I cannot thank you enough for my “Wonderful Trip of a Lifetime”. It was so very much more than I had preconceived !! I feel that I have visited so many different countries on our tour around the little island of Sicily…Ancient Rome, Greece, Spain, Arabia and of course Italy. – Margaret, ( Southern Passion, Italy & Sicily)

Dear Jennifer & Stewart, what a wonderful 8 days we had in New Zealand. Our time in the Northland was great. The five days on the boat – incredible. What a magnificent vessel with the best crew, terrific meals and glorious views. (I am going to run out of adjectives soon.) What more could you ask for? We loved all the concerts (the morning one was my favourite – a trip down memory lane). We are looking forward so much to our next two tours with you.   Christine & Bob –  (Musical Cruise Charter NZ)
