Dear John,
"I wanted to add my two cents to the email you received from the NMA Chairman Don Hart regarding our trip to the wineries in Sonoma. John Gill ran a great tour, from beginning to end. He arrived on time and kept us on schedule the entire day. He was very personable, knowledgable and professional. He knew his subject matter and his "way around" the area. It was interesting, too to watch him interact with the various proprietors. Those who knew him seemed to go out of their way to make us feel welcome....even though we appeared in the middle of the "crushing" season....and they obviously had a great deal to do.As you are asked to arrange tours for other groups in the future, I heartily recommend that you consider using John and Escape Travel Inc. again. We were very pleased and had a terrific day in the valley. Take care and thanks again for all the assistance during our N.M.A. conference."
Sincerely,
-Stepen Bailey, CMN, .M.A. President
"Free your mind, and your feet will follow."
