First, the MUSIC!!! Being part of Voices for Peace voiceprints, both spontaneous and planned, was the principal element which allowed the group to bond together. At least in my never humble opinion, the practicing, the performing, the venues, the pieces you sang, wearing the T-shirts, allowed us to feel and express communal joy, pride, beauty, friendship, love. This is the special element that makes your trips unique. Without that thread, we would have still woven a lovely tapestry, but it would have lacked that special something that occurs when a group works toward the common goal of spreading the Peace Gospel.
I loved the communal breakfasts, the grocery shopping for lunches and snacks, all the walking tours, each place we stayed, the variety of old and modern architecture, and having the whole bus to ourselves and of course, OLLIE! (our bus driver)
It was a great mix of silliness and seriousness, history of towns and cities, history of food, wine, art and music. It was the least stressful and the happiest and most luxurious trip of my life.
Thank you both so much for all your incredible hard work.

My time with Beth Tibbs LLC in Europe was wonderful.Together we traveled to France and Spain. I saw many cities, learned all about the rich histories, stayed in fabulous historic locations and ate incredible cuisine. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I was lucky enough to perform at the American Cemetery in Normandy which is something I will never forget. I would highly recommend Beth Tibbs LLC. It was an incredible trip and I am so glad I went.

I went on Beth Tibbs’ 2019 tour through France and had a great time. She had things well organized and is a good tour leader. Beth has a love of history and it shows in her tours. In each city we visited, she arranged for a knowledgeable guide to give us a historical walking tour. We also had a French cooking class and a private performance at a Flamenco Dance school, among several great experiences on the trip. Our accommodations were a mixture of AirBnB stays and hotels. All were nice. I would definitely go on one of Beth’s tours again.

Beth Tibbs LLC provided a superb experience while traveling internationally. The trip was a great length and was evenly balanced with planned activities and free time Prior to the date of travel, they provided plenty of travel tips and while in Europe they were open to giving suggestion on what to do during free time. The love of the arts and traveling really showed through with Beth providing one on one rehearsals to perfect the music. The highlight of the trip was definitely performing for the "Little Sisters of the Poor" in Bordeaux!
