Comments of Past Tour Groups

"South Africa is an extraordinary destination for choral music, and the team at Classical Movements helped us create an unforgettable trip. The musical collaborations and the extra musical experiences were superb. The great beauty of the country, the wild life, the high standards of hotels, meals and venues and the warmth of the people were better than we could have wished for."

Classical Movements proved to be the best decision we made for our trip to South Africa.  Their staff was efficient,  friendly and dependable. Our guide - incredible!  With 25 years of touring, I have never experienced such a supportive and dependable company.

Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing trip to South Africa! I still cannot put theklaa experience or my gratitude into words but here is an attempt! Our students have been completely effusive about the entire experience and the positive feedback keeps coming from parents as well. As we got on the bus to go to the airport, I handed out the itinerary folders and all the adults were blown away by how everything was organized. (Our headmaster saw the luggage tags and said: Wow, I didnt realize this is a first-class trip!) I thank you for all your patience and hard work to pull the trip together. Your excitement and knowledge about South Africa truly rubbed off on me and our students. I was extremely impressed by the customized extras that you were able to organize for us, like all of the dinners with the choirs, and our trip to (the orphanage), and our visit to the embassy, just to name a few. Best of all, I was more relaxed on the tour than I had been in months! THANK YOU!
