What do other MIR travellers have to say about their experiences? Take a look for yourself:


"After visiting Europe several times in the past, I consider your tour to be easily the finest, mostly because it was informal and we got to meet and converse with "real people" instead of being shuttled around like "mere tourists." The impromptu visits to various pubs were very memorable and all the brewery tours were outstanding. Your tour leaders get an A+ for effort, warmth and the desire to educate us on the culture, history, folklore and, most important, the beer culture of the different regions we visited in the U.K. Definitely send me information on your future beer oriented trips. I've been to Europe seven times, but MIR made me feel my money, for once, was well invested. Overall score A+. Thanks for our best trip" - James Maloney & Denise Derr, Brewing Traditions of England & Scotland Tour



"The bottom line is that I had very high expectations for the tour. Those expectations were thoroughly exceeded. Not only would I not hesitate to recommend your tours, I am already looking forward to another one next year! I would even consider touring Holland and Belgium again!" Doug McCullough, Artisan Breweries of Holland & Belgium



"I just wanted to let you know how much my wife and I really enjoyed the European Brewery Adventure. It was fantastic! Two thumbs up!! It felt so personalized! My wife and I both agreed, as beer brewers and enthusiasts, that we had experiences that we would never have gotten by going to Europe by ourselves or with any other type of tour. Each day was filled with something fun and unique. Our hats are off to MIR!! Once again thank you." Gerard and Virginia Wimmer, Artisan Breweries of Holland & Belgium



"I can't pick a favorite special event of the tour -- everything was so well done!" Keith Jennerjohn, Tap Into Central Europe Tour



"The village inn hotel outside Maastricht was my favorite -- a great setting. I thoroughly enjoyed the tasting and dinner done by the owner and the pub time spent with locals was enlightening. Overall a great mix of cultural and beer events. There's so much beer stuff in Holland and Belgium, I would gladly go there again soon. Thanks for a great trip!" - Paul Wasik, Artisan Breweries of Holland & Belgium



"I certainly had a wonderful time on the trip and thought it was a great value. The hotels were much better than I expected and the food was of high quality (and quantity) and deliciously prepared. And of course the bus trips were great with all the room to spread out and cold beer in the cooler. I just loved riding through the countryside sipping the local beers." - Alison Skeel, Tap Into Central Europe



If you don't want good times, great beer and fun people, don't take the Tap Into Central Europe Tour." - John Scudder, Tap Into Central Europe Tour



"Hotels were all comfortable. The Tokaj wine visit was the highlight -- the host was very professional and taught us something we didn't know. Also the wines very very good. We have very good memories of the trip." Pat & David Pugh, Czech/Hungary wine trip (tour now called Fine Beers & Wines of Czech and Hungary)



"We had a wonderful time on the tour. We especially enjoyed the brewery tours given by the master brewers who showed us things we wouldn't normally see. Thanks!" - Don & Lin Anderson, Artisan Breweries of Holland & Belgium Tour
