After many Senior travels with a friend, I traveled solo to Peru this past February (with Seniors). Of course, the tour manager can make or break a tour. For my Peru, and, I believe, our trip to Poland and Russia we had the most excellent tour managers. For all others they were very good. All had excellent points. I enjoy traveling to more interesting places and at my age find it difficult to plan to travel without a tour group and need security of tour manager. Secondary to tour manager is the itinerary and local tour leaders. Interesting, active Itinerary with well informed local leaders have been great to excellent. I like the learning experience. All my Senior tours have been well planned, good to excellent accommodations and food. The groups have been smaller because I travel to non popular areas. I was planning on traveling with Seniors to the Silk Road this year but, unfortunately, things have changed. I look forward to future travels next year once a vaccine is developed. Thanks to all your behind the Spence staff as well. Barbara
