Newsletter - May 2025

Greetings from Robbi and Jim

A warm welcome to all of the members of our Aroma Tours Newsletter in over 30 countries around the world.

Robbi and I are greatly looking forward to the start of this year's Aroma Tours adventures, which begin mid-May in the beautiful Spanish spring.

Most of this year's tours are now sold out, however, there are still a few places available for our wonderful Essential Provence Tour and Flavours of Italy Tour and we invite you to join us in Provence in southern France with the beautiful lavender fields in full bloom or to explore the delights of "La Dolce Vita" in Bella Italia including the glorious Lake Como.

Exciting news: Our wonderful new Loire Valley Chateau Retreat which we will be sharing exclusively with our vip past guests this July, will be included in our tour offerings next year.

We are all set for another fabulous season of tours and feel truly blessed to once again be sharing our passion for the fabulous places and experiences that we love, with delightful people from around the world.

Aroma Travellers Our Thanks

Without doubt, the main reason that we have grown and flourished over the years, is the on-going support that we have received from our past Aroma Travellers.

As we move beyond the difficulties of the last couple of years we are thrilled to see that they continue to make up more than 65% of our guests!

We would also like to give our heart-felt thanks to all of you who have continued to support us with your kind words and referrals over the years.

Robbi and I also greatly appreciate the wonderful words of thanks we have received from our guests - Guest Comments.

Our Spanish tours are very popular and are sold out for this year but happily there are still vacancies available in 2026 for both our Flavours of Spain Tour and Spanish Gourmet Pilgrimage.

Memorable Photos from Provence 2024

It is always a great pleasure for us to journey with our guests in beautiful Provence each year to explore the gorgious small villages, flowering lavender fields, colourful markets, fascinating history, delicious food and wines and many other delightful moments.

Travelling Solo in a Group

As well as couples and friends travelling together, we are regularly joined by solo travellers - mostly women, who appreciate being able to journey with liked minded people from around the world, without the need to do all the planning and take on the daunting task of touring by themselves.

Joining one of our small group tours is easy and we have already made all of the arrangements on your behalf to ensure that you have a delightful, stress-free holiday with the focus on having fun.

Having a ready-made group of friends to travel with, and us to take wonderful care of you is the way to go!

• There is no extra charge for solo travellers who are willing to share a room with another same gender guest from our group.

We have carefully crafted off-the-beaten-path itineraries that are the perfect balance of structure, experiences, details and free time to enjoy in your own way.

Robbi and I look forward to welcoming you to one of our delightful Aroma Tours in 2025 or 2026.
