The opera trip to Berlin and East Germany was an amazing experience. You are definitely an excellent planner and gracious tour host. I really appreciated the excursion days and free days to explore the different towns and museums. So many repeat tour members are a real tribute to you and what interesting fun people they all are. Hotels were splendid. Operas were delightful. I especially liked the fact that dinners except for three special ones were on our own which meant that one could conveniently pick up a bite at the opera intervals and have more free time for other things.
