[WEISSMAN TEEN TOURS] LETTERS FROM ALUMNI AND PARENTS

Our Family Stays With Us Long After the Summer Is Over!
Hear what the kids and parents have to say about us.
Dear Ronee
     We wish to thank you so very much for giving us this incredible opportunity to travel on your European Tour this summer. It was by far the best experience of our lives. From the fun activities to the gorgeous sights, our Weissman European Experience will remain with us always!
 
     Understanding other wonderful and different cultures was an experience to remember. We know that we will come back in the future to explore more of the incredible places that you introduced us to. We can only be thankful that our first European Experience was with someone as experienced and caring as you Ronee. You made everyone feel special, part of the "family", by incorporating each individual, their different personalities, likes and dislikes and desires into this five week tour. We are so grateful that this tour is run by you, because you have made our time in Europe, an experience of a lifetime. Thanks again!
 
 Love always,
Stefi Hochhauser -- Merrick, N.Y.
Sarah Kane -- Scarsdale, NY
Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     E.D. enjoyed an outstanding trip to Europe under your leadership. He called us along the way, happy in every city and town. He returned completely filled with joy and awe at the beauty and charm of what he saw, heard, tasted and experienced intellectually. His life was indescribably enriched by his participation on Weissman Tours. He is extremely grateful, as are we, for the itinerary, the attention to detail, and the enthusiasm you exuded.
 
     We cannot sufficiently thank you and Eugene for two wonderful summers of growth - eye-opening and fun, that the tours offered. We felt confident each day that E.D. was in good hands. Thank you for all the love and hard work you put into your tours.

With warmest thanks,
Nancy Abraham -- Harrison, NY
Dear Ronee and Eugene,
      Thank you so much for making these the absolute BEST summers of my life. As soon as I arrived at the airport on day #1, I was welcomed by 40 strangers, who are now my best friends in the world. The bonds we formed as a “Weissman Family” and the memories we shared, will always be cherished. I am so lucky to not only have had the opportunity to travel on the US/Western Canadian Tour, but also to go to Hawaii and then to Europe with Ronee, as well! Each one was unique and amazing! Thank you Eugene and Ronee for giving me these opportunities of a lifetime! I am so excited to see my second “family” at our Weissman Reunion and to reminisce about the BEST summers of my life!

Love always,
Amanda Shaw
North Woodmere, NY

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
      Everything about the European and Hawaiian Tours exceeded our expectations! Every time I spoke with my daughter, I could not help but feel excited, just by the enthusiasm in her voice, as she excitedly talked about the places and experiences she was having!! Her positive feedback was always sheer joy. My state of mind was consistently at ease, due to my complete trust in Ronee and Eugene and their extremely competent staff!

     The Weissmans’ have become our family, and their love of my daughter, attention to detail, and expertise in preparation of these trips, is what makes the Weissman Teen Tour experience one that every parent MUST consider, NOT as a luxury for their child, but as a necessary growing experience; one that will enhance their child’s life in all possible ways!

Hewlett, NY

Dear Ronee,
It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am for this experience. When I first showed up at the airport, I was so nervous. However, you have a way of calming everyone down and making them laugh with your sense of humor. I immediately felt comfortable with everyone. It is so cool how kids from all around the US have so much in common.

I came on this trip already having traveled to many of the destinations. However, you made it all seem totally new to me, as you have such a talent for making everything we see and do fun, different and most amazing!! I have also learned this summer to move beyond my comfort zone, meet new people from different cultures, feel more confident, and adapt to new and different situations.

There were many times during the trip that I took a minute or two to think how lucky I am and how I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately, all great things must come to an end, but the memories I have and all of the friends I have made, will last a lifetime. I thank you so much for all of the hard work that you do to make everything so perfect; a great staff, itinerary, and unbelievable group of kids, have made these five weeks the best time of my life! I will always consider you, and the rest of my Weissman European group to be part of my family!!

Love,
Aaron Granoff
Providence, RI
Dear Eugene
     Words cannot describe how much fun I had this summer! I made so many amazing friends from clear across the country, and shared so many memories with them, that I will carry with me for a lifetime. From skiing in Whistler to riding on a snowmobile in Jasper and experiencing the Calgary Stampede in Canada to dancing in a San Francisco dance club and of course our Carnival Cruise, I will truly miss everyone and everything on this trip. This was an experience of a lifetime. THANK YOU so much for giving me a summer that I well never forget, and friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
 
 Love,

Dear Eugene,
     This was the best summer I have ever experienced. I met amazing friends and saw incredible sights that I will never forget. Our tour leaders were sooo much fun-outgoing and always available to talk about anything. I hope to travel on another Weissman Tour in the future and have as much fun as I had on the West Coast tour. Eugene, thank you for being such a wonderful friend, as well as a second father to me. Thanks a million for the summer of a lifetime!!

Julie Kahn,

Dear Ronee,
     This summer was the most amazing summer of my life. I got to see incredible sights, stay in beautiful hotels with gorgeous views, eat delicious food in great local restaurants, and on top of all that, meet the most fantastic friends that I hope to have for the rest of my life! This trip allowed me to learn about many different cultures, from an insider’s prospective, as well as to experience what it is like to take a group of strangers from all over the country, bring them together and make them into a real family!! I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to our WTT Reunion, since I miss everyone so much! Thanks so much for making this summer the best ever!

Lots of Love,
Esther Patch

Dear Ronee and Adam,
     Kayla is still talking about the wonderful three weeks she spent with you - thank you, thank you! Tours, hotels, food and counselors were all first-rate. The Hawaii tour was outstanding in every way. Kayla looks forward to seeing you at the Weissman Teen Tour reunion! After five summers of overnight camp and one previous teen tour, there is nothing else to say except this was the best summer ever - it truly surpassed all others.

Thanks again,
Marci Canvasser

Dear Ronee,
     WOW! This has been the best 5 weeks of my entire life! Not only have I been all over Europe, but I have also met my best friends with whom I will always stay in touch. Whether canyoning in Switzerland, climbing the Eiffel Tower or riding in a gondola in Venice, I will cherish each experience always. I have seen such beautiful places and tasted such delicious food. I have also been lucky enough to get a feel for many different cultures. I will never forget my European experience. Thank you sooo much Ronee for giving me the BEST summer EVER!

With much thanks,
Danielle Aronow

Dear Adam and Ronee,
     Thank you is simply not enough to express my heartfelt thanks for a summer of a lifetime!! Learning about new and different cultures has changed my perspective about the world. I will never forget any of it. We learned about different religions and cultures and visited famous monuments and sites, in conjunction with well-known West End Theatre and amazing dance clubs. I can't help but smile when I think back on this summer. I wish it had never ended. I loved it all. The friendships I developed will be everlasting. I will be happy to tell other people about Weissman, so that they too can have this incredible opportunity. Thank you so much for the summer of a lifetime.

Love,
Scott Hochman,

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     Thank you for making two summers of Amanda’s life so incredible –she left a young girl and returned a woman! Thank you for your wonderful insight, and mostly for your love. These will truly be most treasured experiences that Amanda will carry with her for the rest of her life.

Much love,
Tina & Marshall Shaw
North Woodmere, NY
Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     These past two summers have been the most amazing summers of our lives. While on Weissman Teen Tours (Europe and US), we have made so many wonderful friendships, that will surely last a lifetime.
 
     The exceptional food, hotels, sights and exclusive activities, planned just for us, exceeded our expectations and couldn’t have been better. Our memories of skiing and rafting in Switzerland, incredible theatre in London, awesome dance clubs, that we shared as a “Weissman Family”, are unmatched.
 
     We would like to thank you both for providing us with the summers of a lifetime. We can’t wait to join you Ronee and Adam in Hawaii on the tour next summer! We love the Weissmans!!!

Thank you!
With much love,
Chelsea Beck -- Norwood, NJ
Spencer Schlager -- Weston, MA
Dear Adam and Ronee,
     WOW! Where do I even begin? From the first day in London to our last relaxing day in Nice, I have always had something interesting, cultural and fun to do. Ronee's familiar smile and enthusiasm always got us excited to begin the day. All of the spontaneous extras that the Weissman tour provides, proved to be some of my fondest memories. All of your hard work in preparing and organizing this program really paid off, as the summer ran so smoothly. I am going to miss you guys!! Thanks for the best summer of my life!

Love,
Lisa Rattner

Dear Ronee,
     This summer has taught me about the world, different cultures, and about who I am as a person. The staff was incredible. They were both role models and friends. I met some of my closest friends this summer and I will be talking about my experience here forever. It was so comforting to have Ronee as my director and second mother on this trip. Thank you for the BEST summer ever!

With much love,
Sophie Boyer
Paradise Valley, AZ
Dear Ronee,
     I just have to thank you and Adam and tell you what a wonderful time Ashley had on the Hawaiian Tour. She speaks to her new friends every day, and Stacie even flew out from Boston for 5 days to be with Ashley. We were so pleased that Ashley came home with a new sense of maturity and self-esteem, and a really positive attitude about her experience. She entertained us for hours with tales about her exciting adventures.

     Ashley’s younger sister would like to join you on the US/Western Canadian Tour next summer and Ashley can’t wait to travel with you to Europe!

With warmest appreciation,
Kathy Greene
Pittsford, NY
Dear Adam and Ronee,
     My time on the Hawaii Trip was AMAZING! It's true because the people I met, the friends I made, the incredible things I did, and most of all, the memories that I brought back with me, will stay with me FOREVER. One aspect of "The Weissman Experience" that I especially love, is that we really are a “family”. I had a blast playing games after returning from our evening activity over the moonlit beach at night with Adam, and sharing a warming breakfast before our parasailing or snorkeling adventures with Ronee and Mimi, looking out to the early morning ocean sunrise. It actually brings tears to my eyes every time I think about a moment from the trip, ‘cause each one was AMAZING. I'll never forget about this experience, and can’t wait until next summer to travel to Europe with my “Weissman Family”! Thank you for giving me the best summer of my life!

Love,
Corey Mandel
Lower Merion, PA
Hey Weissman Family!
     Thank you for another great summer!! Our daughter Chelsea really loved the Europe Tour!! She has come back to us enriched, more mature and excited about simple things…
 
     Again, thank you Ronee and Eugene for running a model family business!! Refreshing when all the summer camps have become so corporate…

Best regards,
Frank Beck -- Norwood, NJ
Dear Weissman Family,
     The past two summers have been amazing! My memories of both the American and European Tours will remain with me for the rest of my life! As my sister before me, I truly made the right choice to see the world through the “Weissman Experience”. All of the history and culture, as well as the outdoor and social activities, made these two summers my best yet! I have so many friends from both tours, and I know that I will keep in touch with all of them. These have truly been the best two summers of my life, and I can’t wait to see everyone again at the reunion!

Love,
Matthew Rostowsky
Morganville, NJ
Dear Weissman Family,
     Our trip on Weissman was truly an unforgettable experience, and opened our eyes to a whole new world. There isn’t any other program that would have combined such incredible activities, wonderful friends and a newly made “Family”, all in one summer! From learning how to surf, to experiencing the Hawaiian Culture, we can all say that we come away with much more than we ever dreamed of. Thank you so much for including us in this unforgettable summer experience!

Love always,

Dear Ronee & Eugene,
     WOW!!! Honestly, I don't know where to start. This summer has been incredible, and one that I will remember for the rest of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and relaxed in the environment you created, and it only got better!! I can't imagine selecting a better group of people to travel the country with. Today I take home some of the most amazing memories of my life. Eugene, I definitely enjoyed getting to know you and will certainly keep in touch. This summer with you and the Weissman US Tour has been amazing!

Love,
Julia Starobin
Fort Lee, NJ
Dear Eugene,
     Weissman was amazing! It was by far my favorite summer and I will never, ever forget it!! I made awesome friends and I love every single person on this tour! We went to places that I had never seen before and it truly was an amazing experience. Although the trip had to end unfortunately, the memories and the friends I made will stay with me always. Eugene, you are the coolest person ever! I can't wait to see you at the reunion!

Love,

     I had the most amazing summer of my life on the Weissman U.S. Tour. I have made friends that will last a lifetime and wonderful memories to cherish always. Thank you for the best summer of my life. I can't wait to go on the European tour next summer.

Love,

Dear Adam and Ronee,
     WOW! The Hawaiian Paradise Tour was my greatest tour so far!!! I was able to experience the unique Hawaiian culture through dance, music and in interacting with the Hawaiian people. This along with the amazing activities - surfing, helicopter rides, scuba diving, etc, etc!!! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable summer!!

Lots of love,
Alex Tsimoyianis

Dear Eugene and Ronee,
     My daughter Samantha had the best summer ever! She made great friends and loved all of the exciting places she visited. We felt that she had enough freedom to have fun with her friends, yet we knew that she was well supervised. It was comforting to know that the tour owner was actually on the trip with her. Samantha loved Eugene. As parents we were more than satisfied with the trip. Great fun, friends and supervision!!

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     My daughter Mira was very fortunate to be part of this wonderful European experience. She matured and developed interest in historical and international political events. She met some wonderful people and made great long-term friendships. Her memories about this trip will last for years and years to come.

With sincere thanks,

Dear Eugene,
     I had an amazing summer! Everyday was a unique and fun-filled experience, and I made so many friends to share it with. Eugene, you are a great leader! You cared about everyone, and always had a smile on your face. I am so sad that the tour had to end and can’t wait for the reunion! Thanks so much for the wonderful, educational, fun and exciting summer!

Lots of love,

Dear Ronee, Eugene and Adam,
     I have to let you know what a great, great time I had on the Hawaii Tour this summer. You guys are the BEST! You made me feel like part of the "family", and I thank you for that. This has been by far my best summer yet. I plan to keep in touch with so many of the friends I made. I can't wait to travel with you once again next summer, on your European Tour.

Love,
Bryan McMillan

Dear Eugene,
     Words cannot describe how great a summer this has been - an experience that I will never forget. It is the laughs that we shared and the relationships that we formed that I will remember the most. All of the kids were truly special.
 
     I am so thankful and appreciative that I was able to go on this teen tour. Just like the DVD said, the food was great, the kids were great, the counselors were great, the activities were great, and of course, Eugene was great!” This tour certainly lived up to the motto, “We’re family, not just another teen tour”.

Thank you for the best summer of my life!,
Justin Antweil
Larchmont, NY
Dear Eugene and Ronee,
     This summer was GREAT! The food, the people, the hotels, the counselors were all spectacular! From parasailing in Penticton, to scuba diving in Catalina, the Weissman DVD says it all! You truly get "the whole wide world and so much more, on a Weissman Teen Tour". You were so right in saying that "we are family, not just another teen tour!" I would never consider any future teen tour, other than the Weissman European Experience. Thanks again for giving me the best summer of my life!

Lots of love,
Mark Roberts
RiverVale, NJ
Dear Eugene,
     This summer has definitely been the absolutely greatest summer of my entire life. One of the best parts of this tour was all of the amazing people I met. I walked away from this summer with friendships that are sure to last a lifetime. Thank you for making this incredible dream of a summer come true.

Forever grateful,
Ashley Brown

Dear Ronee,
     Thank you so much for this most fantastic summer! After having such a great time on Weissman Hawaii last summer, I never thought that anything could be better. My time on our European Tour greatly exceeded my expectations. All of the people were so welcoming and the entire tour clicked right away. It was amazing how we all became a family! I can’t imagine a better summer than I experienced with Ronee, Eugene and my entire Weissman Family!!

Lots of love always,
Sydney Elder
Hewlett, NY
Dear Ronee and Adam,
     Absolutely amazing is the only way to describe this summer! The places we visited, the people we met, the incredible food we ate, all helped to make this a summer that I will not only remember, but that I will cherish for the rest of my life! I enjoyed Ronee's exciting attitude, her intense power walking, as well as her gentle and caring nature. Adam's funny personality never ceased to amaze me, along with his continued positive attitude about everything in life. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants an experience of a lifetime.

Love,
Jeffrey Wexler

Dear Weissman Family,
     What can I say to a family that has given me the best two summers of my life? I made so many great friends on the US tour that a bunch of us returned to the European Tour the following summer. Even though I have been to Europe many times previously with my family, these past five weeks have given me a new perspective on the life, the people and of course the wonderful food that make the places that we visited unique in the world. The direction was exceptional because the counselors were able to have fun with us, while keeping us safe. I want to thank your entire family for making this possible for me and for devoting all of your energy into caring for the tour and truly making it like a family. I love you guys and am looking forward to seeing you at the reunion.

Love,
Julia Hornig
New York City, NY
Dear Adam and Ronee,
     I never believed that a summer filled with countless memories and true friendships could exist, after camp. This summer however, was far superior to any other. With the two of you, I learned to appreciate the differences we observed in many cultures. Whether we were touring museums, laughing on the bus or dancing in clubs, it was always amazing on our Weissman Exclusive. No matter how many times I travel to Europe in my lifetime, I know that I will always remember how thankful I am for spending my first experience with you. The memories I have made will always be in my heart. Your love and enthusiasm for your tour amazes me. I love you both so much and I will miss you. I can't wait until the reunion!

Love always,
Anna Roisman
Merion, PA
Dear Eugene and Ronee,
     What can I say to two people who have accepted and brought me into their family? You are people who I am able to talk to about anything and who I am not afraid to say, "I love you". This was the best summer of my life! I can't wait until next year, when I can join you Ronee, in Europe. I wish you health and happiness always so that you can continue to make other kids as happy as you have made me this summer.

Love,

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     Julie is back home since 3 days only, and she told me almost everything about her great summer. I saw almost all of her pictures and videos. I looked at all of your photos on Facebook too. Thank you so very very much for Julie, as she had a very exciting summer-a wonderful "family" experience.

We hope to see you both in NYC at the end of the year as we will become grandparents and will be in NYC to be with our son, his wife and their new family. Julie will look forward to seeing so many of her new friends, as well as the two of you. We will also look forward to hearing about next year's European Tour. The exciting adventure awaiting Julie next summer.

With my sincere thanks,
Monique Katz

Dear Ronee,
     I am so grateful for the wonderful experience Daniel had with you this summer. Providing these teens with such an incredible opportunity, has meant more than you can imagine to all of us! I thank you Ronee, for all of your effort that goes into planning this amazing experience for teenagers. I also want to thank your daughter Ilana and the rest of your supportive staff. Daniel will definitely see you at the reunion. He wouldn’t miss it!

Sincerely,

Dear Adam and The Weissman Family,
     After experiencing my second summer with The Weissman Family, I can truly say that they were the best of my life. I am sure that as great tour leaders you are often showered with compliments about the summers that you provide for your kids. I now have to add my deepest appreciation. Traveling with the Weissmans has allowed me to visit and experience so many different and amazing parts of the world, that people my age are generally not lucky enough to see. In addition, I was able to make an amazing number of friends who I know I will keep in touch with for many years to come. Adam, you did an outstanding job as our director. Your tour has been both incredibly rewarding and memorable. Thank you for everything.

Love always,
Arielle Klein
Oyster Bay, New York
Dear Weissman Family,
     I love Weissman Teen Tours!!! For the past two summers I have participated in your two amazing teen tours! They were by far the best summers of my entire life! I made friends that I will keep forever. The people were amazing and the tours, perfectly planned. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the wonderful memories you have given me.

Love,
Andrew Mukamel

Dear Eugene,
     I want to thank you for the fabulous time Brett had this summer. He hasn't stopped "talking" since we picked him up at the airport, telling us of the unbelievable places he went to, and the great friends he made. You truly made this summer one to remember. I want to thank you for all that you have done for us. Weissman Teen Tours is truly "family". We will certainly keep in contact with you. I know that Brett has already e-mailed his friends from the tour. He spoke very highly of your son, Adam. What a great person and athlete he is! Thank you again and again!

Fondly,
Mona Pappas
Larchmont, New York
Dear Ronee,
     Michael and I want to let you know how much your thoughtfulness means to us. Erin hasn't been home on her birthday for the past 5 years to celebrate it with her family. Your making it special touched us all - thank you! She came home from Europe with great memories and hopes to return one day. She had an incredible time. Again, thanks for everything.

With warmest regards,

Dear Ronee, Eugene and Adam,
     Our sons reportedly had their best summers ever, on your European and U.S. Tours and we are grateful to you three foremost- Eugene, Ronee, and Adam. We, also, think of you and your business as # 1 - First Class- in every way. Thanks again!

Love,
Kathleen Mukamel
Scarsdale, New York
Dear Ronee,
     We appreciate the time and energy you and Eugene have spent organizing both your U.S. and European trips. Thank you for exposing Matt to fascinating European cultures. He often speaks of the beauty of the cities and sites he saw. My son has a love for Europe and I have you to thank for the wonderful exposure that you provided. I believe that he will spend a great deal of time there as an adult. Thank you both so much for two unbelievable and very worthwhile summers.!

Love,
Judy Melinger
NYC, New York
Dear Ronee and Eugene,
 
     We would like to thank you for keeping such a close eye on Brett while traveling on both your U.S. and European adventures. The two of you, with Adam, and the rest of the Weissman team, did a superior job! As a parent, I felt that my son was always in the best hands! Thank you both for giving my family and me the confidence in you and the wonderful feeling of "peace of mind"!
 
      As you already know, the past two summers for Brett were the most awesome experiences he could ever have imagined! His memories are amazing! Your tours attract a wonderful group of kids, and Brett was fortunate to make good friends from all over the country and build strong relations with many of them. They all stay in touch! We had Justin Strauss from San Diego stay with us for a few days before school started and I'm sure he will come in for the reunion as well. Brett can't wait to "chill" with everyone, once again at the "big gala" on November 16th, and share another "Weissman Experience".
 
      We look forward to seeing you on the 16th as well, and are wishing you our very best, as always!

Best regards,
Debbie and Paul Joseph
Great Neck, New York
Dear Adam,
     Thank you so much for the best summer of my life! I have made wonderful friendships that I know will last a lifetime. It is amazing how you took a group of complete strangers from all over the U.S. and turned us into a real family! Thanks Adam, for the experience of a lifetime.

Sincerely,
Gavin Frank

Dear Eugene, Ronee, and Adam,
     I cannot begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed these past six weeks. It has been the most fun that I have ever had and I have met the most incredible people with whom I will keep in touch for the rest of my life. The tour leaders were the most understanding; most responsible, funniest, and greatest people who I have ever gotten a chance to meet. They made every day wonderful. Eugene, you always had a smile on your face, a joke to tell, or something kind to say. The places we visited were awesome. I doubt that I would ever have seen such unbelievable places as The Calgary Stampede without you guys. You can expect my brother to be joining you in the near future.

Thanks,
Brendan Parets
Scarsdale, New York
Dear Ronee,
     I had the most amazing time of my life on our Weissman European Tour this past summer. This was my first summer not going back to sleep away camp and while I was sure that I would have fun on this trip, I never thought that I could possibly love it more than camp. What a surprise!! I met the most incredible friends on my tour and I know that we will be in touch for many years to come. Thank you so much Ronee for the best summer that truly surpassed ALL of my expectations. I only wish that I could do it all over again. I can’t wait to see you at the Reunion!!

Love,
Kimberly Summerfield
Baltimore, Maryland
Dear Eugene, Ronee, and Adam,
     I have spent the past two summers touring with your family, and they were both the most amazing experiences of my life. I have never made such an incredible group of friends. I kept in touch with my friends from the U.S. Tour last summer and have made even more close friends this summer. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to visit all of these amazing places. You guys did a great job! I can't wait until the reunion!!

Love,
Holly Greenberg
Dix Hills, New York
Dear Eugene and Ronee,
     I had the best summer of my life! I have met amazing people whose friendships I will cherish forever. In past summers, when I went away, I usually became homesick. Not this summer!! This trip has made me feel very independent. In addition, we were treated like adults, with respect. The staff was so caring. They were always available to talk. I will always think back on the wonderful memories that we all made on Weissman. Thank you very much for the best summer of my life.

Lots of love,
Rada Steinberg

Dear Weissman Family,
     My experiences with Weissman Teen Tours this summer were without a doubt the most unforgettable and exciting ever. Your European tour was the best summer of my life! I would just like to thank the entire Weissman family, especially my director, Adam, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me such an amazing summer!

Love always,
Jill Brenner
Harrisburg, PA
Dear Ronee,
     This summer was the best summer I've ever had. You were great and I always felt that if I had any problems or questions, I could always come to you. The way you turned a group of teenagers from friends to family amazes me. This inspired me to come back to Europe later in my life. I learned so much and wish that it could have lasted for another month or so. I am, no doubt about it, so glad that I chose Weissman Teen Tours because I know that no other experience could have come close to the time that I had with you. I have found friends who I will keep in close touch with for the rest of my life. I love you Ronee! You're my inspiration.

Lots of love, Stephanie Freidus, Livingston, New Jersey
Dear Eugene and Ronee,
     After traveling as part of the "Weissman Family" for the past three summers, across the U.S. and Western Cananda, and to Europe twice, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the best summers of my life! I never thought that I could duplicate the awesome time my sister Yvette had on your tour. But the friendships I made, the places I've seen and the fun I've had were absolutely amazing!! I'm going to miss you and will always remember the special times we shared.

I love you guys!

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     I want to personally thank you for selecting Lakeland Village Beach & Ski Resort here at South Lake Tahoe, California. it not only gave my staff and I the opportunity to work with you, but the pleasure of having your outstanding group of young adults as Lakeland's guests. They were great to have on property and their sense of enjoyment and behavior was a credit to their families, themselves and Weissman Teen Tours. It is obvious that you run by far the best teen travel program in the business. We look forward to extending a warm welcome to each of your exceptional groups of young people in years to come.

Very sincerely,
Paul Manteris
General Manager
Lakeland Village Resort
Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     To simply say "thank you" is an understatement. Your tour has created an experience and a memory which Kimberley and Lindsey will carry for a lifetime.
 
     Your organized program with its variety of activities, the caliber of the staff and the lodgings as well as your concern and caring, almost eclipses the sights themselves! Moreover, the girls met wonderful friends whom they continue to see and correspond with.
 
     The entire summer experience profoundly affected Kimberly and Lindsey in a wonderfully positive way. We believe the size of your group and your professional touches, (most especially, your traveling with them), differentiates you from other teen tours.
 
     We felt very confident and comfortable entrusting our children to you - and we were right! Thank you again.

Fondly, Karen and Ron Herzog

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     What can I say to two people who have given me the two best summer experiences of my life? I truly feel like a special member of our "Weissman Family". It is so unusual to find a staff who make everyone feel this special - who are always there, available to each tour member, day or night. Such was the case with our tour leaders on both of my tours. I've told so many stories to my younger sister, who can't wait to join you in the near future. Thanks for everything!

Love, Brooke Cohen

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     This has been the greatest summer of my life! I can't tell you how long I've been looking forward to this trip. It met all of my expectations and much more!! Everything was perfect - the food, the hotels and resorts, the people were all great!! Our last night farewell celebration was soooooo much fun! It saddened me to have it end, but the memories I have will remain with me forever. I can't wait for the reunion!!

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     The past two summers have absolutely and most positively been the BEST two summers of my life! I know that I will never forget the wonderful experiences that I had. The amazing places that I encountered and the awesome friends that I made, are memories that will last within me forever!!!
 
     We were definitely like a family! You and all of the counselors were so warm, understanding and always there to talk to. I love you guys and I will miss the two of you so much. I am counting the days until the reunion when we'll all get back together and reminisce about our "Weissman Experience".

Lots of Love

Dear Eugene and Ronee,
     One of the best privileges Norman and I have given to our three children is the Weissman Teen Tours. The combination of experiences including learning, history, travel, social interaction, fun, warmth and love is unbeatable. No other trip offers such nice amenities with secure counseling and great itineraries. It's a paradise of a summer for the child and the parents' peace of mind! Thank you!

With much appreciation,

Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     No words can explain the fabulous experiences and self developement I encountered while exploring Europe with you. This summer truly was the best of my life. We became more than a family - we became lifelong friends. Our memories will remain with us forever. Not only did you take care of us, but you shared your love and knowledge of Europe with us as well. I wish it could have gone on forever. Meeting the other teen tours along our journey made me really appreciate our Weissman experience. Ronee, I cannot thank you enough for all you did for me and shared with me. I will certainly keep in touch and look forward to seeing you at the reunion.

Love,

Dear Ronee,
     After experiencing 4 teen tours I can honestly say that this tour was the most organized. The counselors did their best to display leadership and friendship, and they succeeded. And Ronee, you were the greatest director/mother and friend. Thanks for the memories and thanks for always being there for us. You've made europe into an amazing new world. Thank you again!

Love always,

Dear Ronee,
     We want to thank you for the wonderful experience you provided for our son Eric this summer. To his friends, Eric describes it as "fantastic, cool, great". He enjoyed every aspect of the tour. The sights were amazing. The activities were terrific. The friendships developed will be life-long. He has already met with several of his new tour friends in the last month.
 
     From the parents' point of view, we felt secure that our son was under safe and reliable supervision so far away. When we dropped him off at JFK Airport, we didn't even have to linger wondering if he'd be okay, after just a few minutes, he was off talking with his tour-mates. We wanted Eric to have a once in a lifetime experience, and that is exactly what he got. All of the detail and arrangements were carefully organized. That also added to our assurance that our son would be in experienced, caring hands while out of the country. When Eric called up periodically from various countries, we could hear his excitement in his voice.
 
     Again, Richy and I want to thank you for all that you have done for Eric through the European Tour. I am sure he'll be keeping in touch with Adam and you and Eugene.

Sincerely, Loraine Feitelson

Dear Eugene,
     My husband and I would like to thank you. Our son Steven had a fabulous time on the U.S./Western Canadian Teen Tour this summer. It was 100% problem-free. Upon his return, he presented us with a note of thanks for a fantastic summer. I would highly recommend this tour. It is educational, a tremendous amount of fun and it is under the direction of a very responsible and caring individual - an experience not to be missed. Steven will be looking forward to joining you in the future for the European tour.

Warmest regards,
Ali Sanders, NYC, NY
Dear Ronee and Eugene,
     I had the most incredible time of my life on your European Tour! I made so many great friends whom I'll never forget. Learning about the European cultures, the amazing sights, and meeting so many different and wonderful people has made this summer experience invaluable. Thank you so much for showing me a whole new world.

Love always,

Dear Eugene and Ronee,
     It's hard to compress into one small letter the feelings of the Seidel family for the Weissmans. To believe that you two could have given us a "clean sweep", four perfect tours, is really quite a record. Erica is now back in shcool and she does not stop talking about her trip to Europe.
 
      When Evan went to Europe three years ago with your group, I thought we had heard every superlative in the world, but Erica found a few new ones. Not only did she have a fantastic time meeting wonderful people, but the reuniting with her former U.S. trip counselor and your continuing care and concern made this the premiere event of her life.
 
      Your advertisments say "we are not just another teen tour but we are family". I don't know how you stumbled upon that saying but I can't begin to tell you how true it is. My children feel that they have made lifelong friends with both of you and Linda and I feel like you are very close to us.
 
      I hope that you continue to do this for at least another hundred years so that many, many more young people can experience the true joy of travel in a manner that their parents could never provide. From Erica and Evan and Linda, I send you our love and best wishes and look forward to seeing you very soon.

Fondly,
Barry Seidel
