Dear Jim,
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the tour in Bulgaria - it was absolutely fabulous! Thanks for all the work and planning
you put into making it such a smooth and fun and varied trip.
Many thanks!
Carol Friedman.
Dear Jim,
Our trip to Bulgaria with you was one of the finest I have taken,
and I have traveled in almost 60 countries. I have told everyone
who has asked since I have returned home, It was a GREAT trip!
We had a blast! Jim manages to get his fellow travelers "up
close and personal" with the locals and plans surprises
that are unique and fun. Every day was a new adventure. I’d
go anywhere with you—can’t wait for the Poland
trip!
For those of you who bought my CD of the Copper Canyon and
Bulgaria, let me say, "Thank you for all the kind words".

Dear
Jim,
Such a great trip to Greece! It gave us a chance to see Greece and Ephesus in
all its glory, with the added dimension of local dancing. We had four Greek and
Turkish dance workshops and several international dance sessions in hotels and
on our cruise ship with Lee. We now know the difference between a Kalamatianos
and an island Syrto.
We were so fortunate that the Pontic dancers came to our hotel to perform for
us, thanks to you. We’re looking forward to your next trip!

Jim,
This
was a fabulous trip. From the visit to the Acropolis in Athens to
the last day in Santorini, we enjoyed beauty, history, dancing,
and food.
The two monasteries we visited in Meteora were awe inspiring.
All in all it was fabulous

Hi
Jim,
What a wonderful trip! We both enjoyed every minute. Such splendid dancing, costumes,
and photo ops at the Koprivshtitsa Folk Festival!

Dear Jim,
Our trip to Greece was the very best I have ever been on and I have been on quite
a few.
To me seeing where the Delphic Sybille sat on her tripod and seeing the bellybutton
of the ancient world thrilled me.
I enjoyed the monasteries on the rocks and in Patmos. And, of course, the food
and the dancing!
I would tell anyone to tour with Jim Gold. In fact, I’d tell them they’d
be crazy not to!
Fondly,
Fannie Salerno
Dear Jim,
Exciting and wonderful! Thank you. It reawakened my love of folk dancing!

Dear Jim,
Just a quick note to say thanks. Folk dancing with you was a
perfect finale for a great day at Drew. The students, folks
from the community, and I had a superb time as I knew we
would. I rarely feel joyful at Drew, though I like my job
very much. Dancing with you and the students was indeed joyful
and therefore very special to me. Several students made it
a point to tell me how much they enjoyed dancing with you.
I have thought for quite awhile that you have a rare gift—or
set of gifts—that not only entertain and educate, but make
people feel better and less self-conscious. Thanks for sharing
your gift with us at Drew University.

Our 2007 Bulgaria tour was a splendid and unforgettable adventure.
Our guide, Stefan, was a walking encyclopedia of Bulgarian history
and culture, and our bus driver, Pero, handled the coach on the
mountain roads like you wouldn't believe. Our second guide, Maria,
is a sweetheart. We had our own resident musician (gaida) and
dance teacher, Ventzy and Iglika Andonovi (husband-wife team).
Even if you've been to Bulgaria before, you'd love this trip.
Jim Gold pays attention to the details, and hotels, meals, and
entertainment are all excellent. It's worth the money for the
service. As for me, I couldn't get enough so I plan to go back!Ceil Wirth
