"It was a fantastic trip, very well organised and appreciated... really special to follow Montessori’s life, literally from house of birth to house of death.
I felt like I got to know her as a woman and as a person, as opposed to covering just the philosophy.
It was lovely to meet you and share that special trip with you." Danielle E, Canada.
