-Claire, Adelaide SA

I want to thank you for an amazing two weeks. You managed to put together a schedule that covered all areas of interest, sewing aside. From the Portland Symphony Orchestra (which for me was a real highlight) to lunch at Timberline Lodge, the entire tour took my breath away. I can only stand in awe at the way you find the 'extra-ordinary' to make the whole a wonderful experience. Thanks again for what will live in my memory for a long time.

Thanks Sue for organising a fabulous holiday. We enjoyed every minute of our trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. We loved the history, the scenery, the culture and the food. The cruise along the Mekong River was a highlight and we have not ever experienced such wonderful service. The arrangements were seamless and we did not have to worry about anything other than relaxing, enjoying ourselves and taking in the whole experience. This was my third trip with Sew Inspirational Events and I would book a tour again without hesitation. I have already recommended the Cambodia Vietnam trip to friends and family so hopefully they will have a chance to experience these wonderful countries.

The other highlight was meeting all the other ladies who attended. What an amazing group of wonderful women! I gained inspiration from each of them.
