"Just a brief note to express our gratitude for just the
greatest trip we have ever been on. Jean and I had a marvelous
time, start to finish. The quality of the Orvis Company was shown
to us in the folks it employs; I have never been around a group of
people that was any better. Jean summed it all up I thought when
she told me that she would be happy to host any Orvis person in her
own home, and believe me, she is very picky!"
-Craig and Jean, Orvis Travel clients
