I traveled with Ellen Greenberg’s Quick Culture on a trip to the south of France and Paris.  It was thoroughly researched, providing historical insights and adventures in regional cuisine as well as spectacular views and luxurious accommodations. Ellen was attentive to individual needs as well as inspiring companionship within the group.  I would happily join another Quick  Culture tour!

In 2011, I was lucky enough to join Ellen on an incredible two week trip to Berlin, Prague, and Budapest! Ellen planned every detail and nothing was left to chance! From the hotel reservations to the private tour guides, and the drivers who chauffeured us from country to country. Ellen has it all covered. I still remember our dinner at the Michelin 2-star restaurant at the Regent Berlin hotel!

I have since gone on other trips planned by Ellen-she never disappoints!

  Ellen's itinerary for this week-long trip to the south of France was thoroughly planned and well thought out.  We stayed at beautiful old hotel in Villeneuve Avignon and had a charming and educated guide every day who told us the history of all areas we visited.  The trip was designed for many of the art history- focused visitors, and we concentrated on seeing places lived in and painted by Picasso, Van Gogh and Cezanne.  Several evening meals and many lunches were included in the cost.  Although most days were chock full of travel to fascinating places and through the Provence countryside, the tour also left some time for shopping and for relaxing in the grounds of the hotel and walking around the towns of Avignon and environs.

I highly recommend Ellen's Quick Culture travel.  All I needed was my passport and baggage.  The trip was made easy and pleasurable for all of us.

 In 2010, I was part of the Painting in Provence experience, and what an experience it was! There is not a single aspect of it that I would change. Ellen's attention to detail was impeccable, and because of it, everything flowed smoothly...from the insightful pre-flight information/preparation to our arrival to our fabulous accommodations and accompanying cuisine to our art-related excursions (with our amazing guide, Laurence) and, most certainly, to our courtyard painting lessons with our very talented, patient instructor, Bill. I would be remiss if I didn't add the sheer delight it was to conclude the trip by riding the TGV to Paris and spending a few days focusing on the artistic wonders of this beautiful city. Attending a dinner party for artists was an added bonus. How Ellen was able to get our names on the invitation-only list is still a point of amazement for me! Without a doubt, I will always cherish the memories I have from this trip.
