We enjoyed a wonderful cooking and culinary tour to Japan, superbly led by our guide Sean. We were immersed in the food culture of Japan each day, along with sights and insights of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. I would highly recommend John Shors for the care and attention to detail provided throughout the trip.

I had such an amazing time travelling with 18 lovely people from around the world and three gorgeous Tour Leaders, Molly, Tracy and Dilya. Everything was taken care of for us and Molly was wonderful with her calm manner and attention to detail and Tracy's quiet manner assisting in eveything to help make it all run smoothly. The accommodation, locations and breakfasts were excellent and I especially loved the Aurea Museum Hotel in Lisbon and its location to the water and city. The breakfasts at both hotels were fabulous. The choice of restaurants for lunches and dinners was way beyond my expectations and I loved them all. Natasha Lester and Madeleine Martin were just wonderful in sharing their book research knowledge with both such beautiful ladies and so much fun. In fact, one of the best parts of this trip of a lifetime, was the fun and laughter we all shared everyday. Thank you, thank you so much for such a memorable experience and I wouldn't hesitate to travel with John Shors Travel again. Gemma Beecroft

This trip was great!! From the accommodations to the food, the tour guides and the guests on the trip. I was expecting a lot and got even more.

I had a great time on this trip. It was well organized starting from the reservation to the actual trip. We had to "pivot" a couple of times due to the weather but John always had great alternatives for us. The group was great and I made a lot of new friends. I would highly recommend John Shors travel.

My daughter and I had an amazing time on our Paris/Lisbon trip with authors Natasha Lester and Madeline Martin! The trip was very well organized and the authors were very generous with their time during our trip. They participated in everything with the group and were very open to questions about their books and writing processes. Both Natasha and Madeline were very gracious and kind; making a point of talking daily with each of us individually throughout the trip. The staff from John Shors - Molly, Tracey and Dilya, accompanied us each day and ensured we got from point A to point B with no issues. They were all enjoyable and fun to travel with, and were always willing to answer questions and try to accommodate any requests. Our group all got along well, and some of us are still communicating in the WhatsApp group chat. This trip exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to book again with John Shors Travel!!
