Reviews: Direct from our 1999 customers.

You don't have to take our word for it when we tell you our tours are fun. Just listen to some of our customers.

Brenda Smith, Oak Ridge, NJ
"Just wanted to say that this past weekend in Lancaster was FANTASTIC!!!! Had a super time, really enjoyed the skating, the whole layout, the food, the guides, etc, etc, etc!! Am already looking forward to next year!"

Andreas Hocevar, Graz, Austria
"I just wanted to thank you again! I had such a great time on the tour! I returned yesterday to Vienna and I had a great flight with enough space for my legs -- right behind the emergency exit." (Andreas is, shall we say, not a short man.)

Robert McDermott, New York, NY
"It was one of the best vacations I ever took. I would love to do another tour".

Rich Barnet, Nashville, TN
"Please be sure to send me the 2000 brochure! I've never had so much fun on a vacation before. I'm already hiding away a little money each week so that I can save enough to do a Swiss or Dutch tour."

Lene Hein, Houston, TX
"Best spent money this year! I hate not to be able to give help on improvements but I loved everything."

Lori Fitz, Arlington, VA
"Having Matthew skate with us (on the Amish tours) was amazing. It was so nice to meet an Amish person while skating versus taking a bus tour of the area."

Pat Lengle, Pine Grove, PA
"I think you did an outstanding job on the hotels. We just have to realize everything is so much smaller than what we have here!" (Perhaps not everything, Pat, but the hotels in Europe definitely have smaller rooms than Americans are used to having.)

Drew Paoli, Massapequa, NY
"It was just awesome. I’m telling you. I recommend this to everyone I know."

Amy Coseo, New York, NY
"The guides were great because they were an incredible wealth of knowledge and gave you the freedom to work on what you needed and wanted. They also set a great pace and were both motivational and extremely supportive, giving you that little push when you needed it."

Shawn Sell, Arlington, VA
"Your guides are terrific. Not overbearing or intrusive. Just fun, friendly, and very helpful."

Bill Lewis, Mansfield, OH
"I had a fantasic time. It was like a coming out party for me. I have never skated with anyone before, only skating on the local bike path at home. It was such fun skating with the different skaters and I really enjoyed skating with Bill, Barrie and Isabelle [the guides]. Even learned a few things that I wanted to know."

Mike Merriman, Minneapolis, MN
"I am truly EXCITED about Zephyr and can barely wait until next summer's tours!" (Mike is a Zephyr guide and he wrote this to our main office after his last tour of the season. Just thought we would throw this in to show you how we feel about our tours.)

Judy Rubin, Columbia, MD
"The tour was a lot of fun - it more than exceeded my expectations! I haven't done much group travelling and was surprised to find that being with other enthusiastic skaters enhanced the experience." (That is very common. Take note you solo travelers.)

Rosanne Theisen, Long Beach, NY
"Joey (Rosanne's 12-year old son) called me at work today and asked when we were going on our next rollerblading tour - that's the ultimate compliment ... he loved it and so did I!"

Joe Miller, Lexington, SC
"I had only skated three months previous to this tour and after three days I feel like an expert. Your guides were great and the scenery was second to none. I will see you again and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to see life and live it at the same time."

Susi Pensel, San Diego, CA
"Zephyr Inline Skate Tours runs an outstanding trip. It was even better than the brochure promised."

Sue Tilley, Plymouth, MI
"I just wanted to write to tell you what a GREAT time I had last week. It totally surpassed my original expectations of what the trip would be like – the group dynamic was REALLY wonderful, the trails were AWESOME, the skills I learned will be very helpful in building my confidence, and who knows, maybe I'll get good enough one day to become certified!" (Sue was on the Beginner Tour!)

Pat Lengle, Pine Grove, PA
"I have you and the tour to thank for meeting two wonderful friends I intend to have for a lifetime. And you can quote me on that."

Kim Wolckenhauer, Warwick, NY
"Iit was a well organized, wonderful, and memorable experience! Thanks for a great weekend - I can't wait to get my pictures back and show everyone!"

Beth Macchiarolo, Euless, TX
"Everyone involved was VERY helpful, friendly, the inn was charming, the food was great, the activities in towns were fun, too. This was a great area, and the whole weekend was wonderful. Thank you for all of your patience, support, humor, and expertise! I'll be back, for sure!"

Diane Madlon-Kay, Minneapolis, MN
"I don't know how you manage it, but this was another unusually congenial group." (Actually, we find that most of our groups are this way. Must be a common trait among you!)

Mary Armas, Long Valley, NJ
"Everything about our tour was terrific; the group, the guides, the culture and tours. I will be back for more!"

Valerie Dickey, Carollton, TX
"You will see me again!"
