  We’re back!!!! 

  I cannot believe how long it’s been since my last post or my first post, depending on how you look at the Rhapsody Blog.

  So far this has been a very interesting year in the tour and travel industry, with the crazy weather, volcanoes, airline strikes, wild dollar & euro fluctuations and a shaky economy many would think is the perfect year to stay home, lock your door and wait until everybody comes to their senses.  

  After being on the tour and travel industry as long as I have I realized this may not be the best way to look at what is taking place.  As you know most things in history are circular “what goes around comes around”.  With this being the case in the not-too-distant future the tour and travel industry will again be booming; in the meantime, now is the time to take advantage!  There is an overabundance of incredible travel deals if you are willing to do a little research and exploration.  

  These opportunities can be you “Experience of a Lifetime”.

  “So why am I doing a blog?

  As some of you might know I been in tour & travel industry for 20 years and over that time I have picked up more then a few amazing travel secrets and tidbits to ensure a positive travel experience; an another reason is that being in the travel industry I am at times made privy to some amazing deals and specials; this is information I would like to share.  I would also like to share with you different facets of travel you may not have considered. 

  I would prefer if this blog were not one sided; I would like to hear from you.  I’m very interested in hearing about your own travel experiences such as: hidden gems you have found on your travels, your own travel secrets and tidbits and any fun stories you would like to share.

  I would also like to know if you have any questions about this industry.  Let me know and I will try to find your answers. 

  I have lots I wish to convey and so any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.

  Until next time

  Safe Travels

  Gerry

  Hello All from Rhapsody Tours 

  It is hard to explain how excited I am writing my first blog. My name is Gerry MacPherson, a tour operator based in eastern Canada  and although I have been a tour director & storyteller for years, this is my first forte into an ongoing journal of the exciting things are going on around Rhapsody Tours.

  Even stranger, I am not writing my first blog from my office in Halifax, but instead from the beautiful community of Obergarschagen in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

  Okay this is not as strange as it sounds and I’ll explain in a moment.

  I have been a tour guide/director for 20 years, much of the time spent in Canada but I have been fortunate enough to have traveled throughout much of our amazing world.

  Rhapsody Tours has been in business for a few years, specializing in unique eastern Canadian trips and will continue to do so for years to come however we have taken the opportunity to expand and are offering a very scenic and unique Tour of Germany.

  This is the reason I am in this beautiful country at present, putting final touches on this very exciting journey.

  If visiting this amazing part of our world is something that has intrigued you, wait no longer and visit our itinerary page.

  I should warn you, we are only interested in traveling with those willing to have fun and having a sense of humor is a prerequisite.

  For all the new travelers and seasoned travelers over the next few months I will be sharing tidbits and tricks for traveling. For example “how to pack”, “exercise tips for planes trains and automobiles” and “custom requirements for different countries” just to name a few. If you’re interested in receiving this information please feel free to subscribe to Rhapsody Tours Blogs and I’ll be more than happy to send them to you free of charge.

  I’m off to the Black Forest  but will be in touch soon.

  Have a Fun Day

  Gerry
