“We saw – and tasted – Indochina in ways that large-group travel could never arrange. Focused, small group travel like this is definitely the way to go to find the best in this fascinating corner of the world. We’d follow Robert’s creative & off-the-beaten paths anywhere.”

— Ruth & Marc Fisher, New York, USA

“The four essential elements to a great dinner are good food and drink; second, terrific company; third, beautiful décor; and finally, surprises. That is what you gave us and sustained it for the entire tour. It just kept getting better and better.”

— Merle Gordon, Chicago

“As I sift through the rich variety of culinary and cultural experiences you arranged for us, I am so appreciative of your research, your connections, and your fine instincts for what would be illuminating to experience in each country. The trip was everything I had hoped, and then some.”

We had an amazing adventure with you, Morrie and crew. Thanks for all your efforts and attention to the details. It was truly magical. Sure was grand!

— Julie Hettiger & Ken

We were thrilled to be able to see the markets with you and to learn so much about the cuisine of Isaan because of the festival you two organized… The festival was so memorable, and I got so inspired that I came home, located sources for lots of ingredients, and have been cooking some of the dishes ever since. In fact, I did not realize how focused I was on working with the ingredients and methods I learned on that trip that after about a month… What a perfect way to be introduced to a new (to me!) and fascinating cuisine. The classes and the food were perfect. The presenters were each an incredible source of information and each of them so obviously dedicated to sharing their appreciation and understanding of the local traditions and ingredients…

— Loretta Frederick, Minnesota, USA

Your trips are wonderful because you experience the culture. Food brings us in touch with the people, the crops, the way of life. The arts show us their soul and lift our spirits. The best part is that people attracted to this type of trip make fascinating travel companions. We’ll be back!”
