As it is an art group there is a sharing of ideas about what we are seeing and experiencing and this gives the experience a kind of totality, and you return from your tour feeling enriched.

"I so enjoyed the Conquistador tour. It really was wonderful. Thank you for all your hard work. As I mentioned to you on the trip, your trip was great for a single woman. You provide lots of opportunities to see things together in safe groups along with opportunities for the more adventuresome. Even when exploring in smaller groups or by myself I felt better knowing I had your cellular number that I could call at any time if needed. I do hope you will be able to get continuing education credit set up for the trips; I learned so much. Your trips would be a real resource for educators that need to continually keep showing they are doing continuing education." C.L. TN Conquistador 2001
