The trip, as all your trips, was great-the perfect mixture of baseball & touring. Daniel was the best a guide could be.  Of course, I am already thinking about next Feb. in the  Caribbean somewhere.

Baseball Adventures is a great way to see the world. The customized schedule is a perfect balance between playing baseball in exotic venues, touring the cities within the country mingling with the locals.  Every trip I've met great people and have made lasting friendships.  Most all have the same passion for playing the game of baseball.  These friendships I hope to carry for years to come.  My experiences with Baseball Adventures have been priceless.  A great getaway for a week or two playing ball and hanging with the guys.  Before you know it you will be back at home wishing you were still there and counting the days till the next Baseball Adventure.

Terry Lee, San Francisco

What a fun trip.  Thanks again.   AAARRRRRR, it's drivin' me nuts!!
Gene Sinclair, Robinson, Illinois

We had a great time in Sorrento with Dennis , Corey, Sherry & Cobe, and Donna & Mark for the few days they were there.  If you make it back to Italy, the Isle of Capri is beautiful and the Blue grotto is amazing.  We also rented a scooter and drove the coast to Positano which was a lot of fun.    Nice meeting everyone and as Carlos would say "Heep Heep Horay"!!!
Ciao, John & Cindy Angelesco, San Jose, CA
Dennis, you did a great job, as I know I only had 1 real night out for drinking during the entire. tour.. OH,, the Joust counts too.
Its impossible to please everyone on a trip like this but Dennis, you understand the hard work necessary and pulled it off.
Steve Fagin, Chicago Illinois


I would like to mention, as all of you already have, that it was an amazing trip -- my first further than 1000 miles from home -- that I know I will remember for a lifetime.  I can never think of pizza the same again... henceforth tempted to add blue cheese and walnuts!  And it will surely take some time for nutella-laden crèpes and multi flavored gelati to fade from my thoughts and dreams.  But most of all I would like to thank all of you for making it such an enjoyable trek through italy.  Despite the age difference, I had a pleasant time getting to meet and chat with all of you.  It would be a delight to cross paths again in the future!   Ciao
Corey Brown, Anaheim, CA
I just wanted to say that Marianna and I had a great time touring  with all of you.  I can only imagine the number of hours you put into the planning of the trip, and it certainly worked out well.  Thanks again Dennis. 
Allan & Marianna Green, Philo, CA

Dennis, thank you so much for all you did to make this such a fabulous trip for all of us.  The tours and experiences of Milan, Verona, Florence, Venice, Rome, Arezzo and Lake Como will always be cherished as major Bucket List additions. Never could I have imagined the magnitude of the coliseum, or the Sistine Chapel, or the Duomo or cathedrals without actually being there.  The Joust was phenomenal, the boat taxis, the cobblestone streets, narrow staircases leading up to shops, bridges were all such wonderful sites to see and be a part of.  The food, yummmmm, But the new friends, Priceless.  I really enjoyed all of you, your energies, humor, and adventurous spirits were a perfect mix for a wonderful vacation.  Thank you all for such wonderful memories, Lets stay in touch, and possibly travel again together in the future.  Love ya all,
Julie de Trinidad, Middletown, CA
This was one of the most enjoyable trips I have ever taken, both from the incredible sites, and group of people who made it that more fun!  It's hard to believe you can throw 19 people together, some meeting for the first time and get along as well as I think we did.  I know I enjoyed every ones company!  Julie and I enjoyed the remaining few days at Lake Como – a perfect spot to unwind a little after the jam packed itinerary Dennis created for us.  It all went by so fast!
Tony Shimetz, Middletown, CA

I too want to let everyone know what a GREAT time Mark and I had.  It was a very special trip.  Meeting all of you and spending time together was wonderful.  I will have to say it has not been easy quitting Gelato cold turkey!  I had heard stories about gelato but didn't believe I could get hooked.  I didn't have any in Como, tried my first one in Milan.  By the time I got to Rome I was having double gelato days, but the worst was in Sorrento.  3 gelatos a day!!!  And the schiacciata (pizza bread)!  I really believe I could live on pizza bread and gelato.   Seriously, the memories of this trip will last forever.   Our best to all of you,
Donna & Mark Fess, Santa Rosa, CA
Dennis- I wanted to personally thank you for all of the BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS that you put into the Italian Baseball Tour just completed. What a fantastic time!!!!!!!! I want to thank you also for the great PATIENCE that you displayed in dealing with some of the "straying cats", lost items, late show-er-uppers, and inevitable annoyances that occur on a venture like this involving 20 independent human beings, tour guides and bus drivers (to say nothing of unexpected injuries). It was an experience I'll never ever forget and I'm having almost as much fun re-living it as actually participating in it.  I really enjoyed talking with Corey and observing him taking everything in like a sponge....you could never give him a greater gift than bringing him along on this trip. I also enjoyed talking baseball with you....and you didn't even hang yourself during some of the long winded stories!!  My best wishes to you for many more years of two of your obvious passions- touring and baseball. Regards,

Jasonini & The Entire Italian Tour Gang- What a thrill and a privilege to have completed the "Big
Italian Adventure" with all of you!!!!! It truly was a once in a lifetime experience and I feel that I have been very fortunate to have met and bonded with so many great people. And as an added bonus from this trip, I am looking into a second career as a "David Model". I am hopeful of writing a trip summary from my perspective (once I recover- approx 1-2 months) and will copy everyone on it. Also am looking forward to seeing the many great photos that were taken. Caio!!!!!

Paul and I also want to let all of you know what a fabulous time we had in Italy, and most of all sharing our time with such a wonderful group of  people.   It truly couldn't have been a better time (notwithstanding Alberto our Rome tour guide who added some laughs to our trip as well!)    The memories of our trip are very very special, and as we share our trip with our family and friends, we find that there are so many fun, interesting, and special stories to share that they are endless and after 5 days back, we still have shared but a portion of all there is to tell.    We feel very blessed to have met all of you and to have shared the experiences we did with the Italian people as well as each other.    Our best to all of you and we look forward to keeping in touch.  

Dennis, you did a terrific job at planning this overseas adventure--we are certain that this was a tremendous undertaking and you took good care of your team!   Thank you for looking after our comfort, all the connections from city to city,  and planning it in such a way that the boys could play ball and the ladies had some time to shop!    We look forward to see what is planned in the future.   We wish Lorenzo and Anthony a very speedy recovery with only great memories left as proof of the "double header".    Yours in friendship,
Paul Perantinides and Elisa Pizzino, Akron, OH
I had a great time and am looking forward to the next baseball abroad!  Paisano!! fantastic job with the recap. reading that and watching the videos just makes me wanna go back asap. I cant wait for the next trip.
Jason 'Mash' Masciorini, Santa Rosa, CA

Sherry and I would also like to express our appreciation to everyone for making these past two weeks such a wonderful and unforgettable experience.  We certainly feel like we have a new set of friends with whom we will forever share Italian memories. Thank you, Dennis, for pulling this off and bringing us all together on our Italian baseball adventure.

I had a great time in Cuba and would do it again without question.
Michael Bessett, Tampa, FL

Great job on the trip.  That was a really great trip and I enjoyed spending time with old friends and as well as making new ones.  Hope to see you all again next year in Cuba.
Blair Bessett, Seattle, WA

I was late to work today.  I sat out in front of my house for an hour waiting for Alberto and Jorge to pick me up.  It was a pleasure meeting everyone and hope to make another trip in the near future.  I wanted to thank you for putting together a great trip to Cuba.  It was a dream come true to visit Cuba and play ball against some of the most passionate players in the world.  Everyday was an adventure and I thank you for the opportunity.
Aron Levinson, Los Angeles, CA

Many thanks to you all for making the trip very special for me.  It was great to see those that I had met before and to make new friends as well.
Gene Sinclair, Robinson, IL

Cuba was a great trip.  I really enjoyed getting to know all of you better.  It's great to be with a group of guys who like to play baseball.

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for another great trip.  It was nice to have some new faces on the trip, and as always there was a lot of laughs.  Mac, thanks for all the hard work.  Looking forward to next year.
