Great video! Thank you so much! It brings back fond memories
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. Very enjoyable and well done. We just got back from our first GCT cruise, although we’ve traveled with OAT a lot. We started in Prague with pre trip, then Vienna to Amsterdam, then Bruges post trip (Great Rivers of Europe). So now trying to decide where to next!
Nope. These folks quoted me 3 different prices on the phone across three different days. No return phone calls. Poor customer service follow-up. Not for me.
Where is the docking in Lyon for GCT?

OMG, you did such a marvelous job on this video. I’m in awe of your talent . You have a great eye for photographic story telling and soooo skillful in your editing. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi. I love you travel with GCT. We do too! I wish more people posted their GCT travels. Where to next? 😊 We are planning to do a trip next spring but haven't decided yet.
Well done photo trip! Thank You. I was on this same GCT cruise in late Oct.
I would have loved your critique of the cruise!
You make wonderful videos on GCT they should pay you.
Thanks MJ. As you can see I've been doing this for some time. My wife thinks I should include more travelers instead of "things". What do you think?
I just watched your video again, Phil. It brought back back to all of those wonderful stops, experiences and newly-made friendships. Now waiting to see Walt's videos (which I understand are on the way). Between the 2 of you, Lynda and I can visit Spain, Morocco and Portugal once a month! Thank you, again. And keep traveling! Paul & Lynda Bridges
Nice to know you enjoyed the video Paul. It was an exceptionally fine group of travelers and Ria was very special too. I will watch Walt's, too when they are ready.
Very, very nice Phil. I like your approac very much and well documented.
Thanks Walt. It takes a lot of work to ground each of our events in the geography and history of the countries we visit but when we re-visit our trips from many years ago I'm glad we took the time to get the details right. Looking forward to your sharing too.
Thanks for sharing this! My spouse is going on this same trip in a few months and it is neat to see what they’ll experience. Do you have any tips?
Love it Grandpa! Looks like you guys had a great trip :) See you soon!!
Glad you liked it. Be safe.
Nice editing job! We are doing this trip next week and your video is a great introduction. Thank you!
Holy crap. You’d never know these guys were athletes.
Clinton disgraces those fine men.
Hmmm prefer watching paint dry, poor and unimaginative, give up
So bueatiful country ❤❤❤
Thank you, Phil and Dianne. This is a fabulous memory of our trip to Japan together. Happy New Year to you, both.
Loved your travelogue. What a terrific job Dianne and you did! Kudos to you. I will be using it to show to family and friends.
سلام عليكم 🌷💕💕👍🔔🔔👀❤
Terrible cruise! I just returned from a Grand Circle Rhine River Cruise & the only thing positive I can say about it was that the Serbian crew were very nice & hard working. Cabins are all alike w two beds coming out of the wall w 3” mattresses. Food was mediocre & the house wine was cheap. No regional wines or cultural events onboard or off. The most perfunctory of guided tours were given in the few towns we visited. At least 3 stops were canceled & an evening w dinner, local entertainment was canceled. This cruise line cuts corners & because it’s cheaper than the competition, it’s popular…but you will get what you pay for.
Thank you for a well done presentation.
Glad to see you guys are still getting out and about! Thanks for sharing your adventure again. Jan and I still haven’t gotten to take our Great Rivers of Europe trip yet. Postponed 2 years now, hopefully someday.
Perhaps we'll see you on the Mystery Trip next month. Hope you are both well too.
Loved it. Still working on my scrapbook of Egypt
This was a great video Phil. You were great at capturing all the wonderful places on our first mystery tour!
Thank you Phil for sharing this great video! You did an awesome job. The titles were particularly helpful. Some names I had forgotten and some I never caught at the time. Did Dianne take notes for you? I remember someone taking notes......anyway I really enjoyed it. Happy travels. Judy Shaulis
We are leaving on this very trip next week; and enjoyed your photo record of your trip. Thank you!
When did you go on the trip?
May 2018
This is very professionally done...congratulation on such an unusual experience an shared with all.
Well done! Thank you! I'm amazed you had the names of so many landmarks along the way, as well. You've helped me to remember this fabulous trip. Cathay
Thanks for sharing Phil! That was a very unusual, interesting trip!
Words of praise and thanks are insufficient. What a remarkable presentation! Thank you for the wonderful images as well as the identification of sites, flora and fauna and people. I want you to go on all my travels!! Marianne
A fantastic video, Phil, AKA Blondie. Thank you for the memories of our great trip!
Thank you for this wonderful presentation. We will be making this journey with the pre and post trip extensions in April of 2016. It will be our 14th adventure with OAT which we highly recommend.You might enjoy some of my videos on my You Tube channel of our trips. Penny Parker
WOW! Phil you really captured everything. Thank you for letting me relive the many events we experienced on our Michigan trip.
