My life is richer in so many ways for this learning engagement and travel experience. And again, I have new friends! And David Hill, of Odyssey’s, was amazing. You should request him in the future; no one could do this better.

My husband and I did an Art Walk with David Hill and we were very impressed with the calibre of the Guide and the information given by him. He was very knowledgeable and took good care of the group. We highly recommend this walk with David to others
