Overall it was great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

How can you improve on wonderful? The people on the tour were so friendly.

One of the best trips ever in terms of comfort, convenience, interesting things to do. We loved Berlin. Our hotel was great.

The professionalism of Ed Fox and Janet Vitu put TAFNOT in a class by itself in athletics-centered tours. I will be signing up for Korea.

The best Worlds ever (due mainly to the great stadium in Berlin, the mild climate, the wonderful Hilton Hotel and the nice people). Let's have all track meets only in Berlin and Eugene.

One of the best tours ever---comparable to Seville '99.

One of the best tours you've done.

Best Worlds ever (it was my 5th)! You even got the weather right.

As much as I loved Paris [2003], this was the best Championships and tour I have been on. . . You are all to be commended for an excellent job with planning this trip.

What can I say? Have I ever been on a T&FN tour that I didn't thoroughly enjoy? Of course not. Good people, great activities, good planning, good tickets.

Kudos to the staff for another successful trip.

Great trip (of course, they always are).

I would eliminate 30 years off my age so I could go many more tours.

Overall, I thought the tour was one of the very best of the eight that I have attended---very well planned and run.

This was one of the great ones. . . We had a wonderful time. Loved every moment.

Very happy with the entire trip. . . looking forward to next year!

This was our 5th out of the last 6 World Championships. For us, it was the best ever. . . a great tour. See you in Eugene 2011, 2012, and maybe Daegu.

 

Another great tour. Great housing and location.

Overall, had an awesome time; tour guides were particularly good.

Best stadium and seats since Mexico City 1968.

Our seats in the stadium were great of course; it helped to have A+ volunteers, and enthusiastic fans.

Hilton hotel was wonderful and its public area was conducive to late evening socializing with other tour folk. Also just 30 meters from the subway line.

Art'Otel---quietest hotel I've ever stayed at---wonderful. Great being near the Tiergarten.

Location of the Maritim PreArte hotel was excellent, as was the beautiful breakfast.

The gala luncheon was excellent---good food, great location, wonderful guests.

The Post A extension tour was the best. The choice of cities was well thought out. It helped that the weather cooperated. The hotels were all situated close to mass transportation and the bus arrangements worked out well. Each city gave us a taste of the country, so that we want to go back to stay longer. The guides were knowledgeable and certainly gave us a great background on each country’Äôs history.

Pre-A tour was particularly good---very congenial people, good hotels, fun things to do in each city, especially the jazz dinner cruise in Prague.

The four-page Berlin notes (provided with last bulletin) was very helpful. We got good use out of it.

This was a chance for me to be strictly a spectator. For the past 40 years I have either been a coach, both collegiate and international, meet director, or official. It was a pleasure.

It would have been nice to know that the proper way to eat bratwursts with the long sausages and small bun was to break the sausage ends off and jam them in the bun next to the center section. It would have saved the embarrassment of chomping on one end and having the other end slip out of the bun. [Gotterdammerung! We didn't realize there was a proper technique. But make sure to put the mustard on after breaking off the ends, not before!]
