The house was great, the pool was great, the food was amazing, it was an awesome time. Practical and theoretical. The inaugural group, Montessori Méditeranée Experience
Thank you for this extraordinary trip. Carina, Sweden
I would absolutely recommend the Montessori Méditeranée Experience. Barbara, USA
Roelie was a fantastic host. She made the magic happen. One does not need to think about or plan the details. I'll no doubt travel with her in the future: no thinking necessary, just show up and enjoy. Jana, USA
Grateful for the opportunity to experience Roelie’s tour of Vietnam during the weeks leading up the Congress in Thailand. What an adventure it was!
In the spirit of Montessori Roelie offered a prepared ‘touring’ environment with many sensational daily offerings such as exploring the food, music and the vibrant life in the streets of Hanoi, cruising and kayaking on the majestic Halong Bay, lantern making and My Grandma’s Home Cooking class on a family island in Hoi An, wearing traditional hats as we canoed through the canals of the Mekong, and joining in the alluring and frightening chaotic
flow of the motorbikes in Saigon on a Vespa street food tour. Sharing this with fellow Montessorians was so empowering and enlivening as we all
embraced these new experiences with a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm. Interwoven throughout the tour was the opportunity to visit Montessori schools and the AMI training center in Saigon. It was such a gift to share in our collective work with Montessorians in Vietnam and graciously share in the offering of delicious meals of the local cuisine. Oh the food and the people! Roelie did not only plan an awe-inspiring adventure she was responsive to the individual interests of the travellers and the opportunities that arose along the way. She eagerly adjusted the schedule to accommodate. All I can conclude with is where are you taking us next, Roelie? Can’t wait! Cristina, USA
I appreciate you organising this detailed historical tour schedule. I was very happy during with your tour. Many Montessorians have interest in the Casa de Bambina and Chiaravalle. Mr Lee, Korea
It was such a pleasure to join your tour. You organised a marvellous 5 star experience with great attention to detail. Your support team, Karin and Pasquale are very knowledgeable and were very happy to share. Jan, Australia
It is not too much to say that my life was changed by the '2022 Montessori's Italy' tour. Our week together was a look at the political and personal influences that formed Maria Montessori and her work. The tour was intelligently planned, offering intimate glimpses of Dr. Montessori in her world so that our appreciation in our time deepened.
Our guides on the 'Montessori's Italy' tour surprised us each day with unique experiences that could only have been provided by their own personal connections and deep understanding of Montessori, Italy, and the Montessori movement. Roelie’s attention to our comfort and delight was the cherry on top. I made academic and friend connections on this tour that will affect my life from now on. Liisa, USA

I experienced and gained more knowledge in aspects of the life and times of Maria Montessori, in the layers of history in Italy and the life in Italy now. Jan, Australia
"Attention to detail, and care for everyone's needs... had an awesome time." Maxine, Australia.
Every day (in Italy) was wonderful, amazing and full of surprises. It was so inspiring to meet and listen to notable and resourceful people involved in Montessori. Jan, Australia
