"As a director I loved the personal touch Incantato was able to provide and the attention they gave to even the smallest details. Incantato worked with us to suit our tour of Central Europe to our ensemble’s needs and objectives. The result was a brilliant tour that featured amazing performance venues, excellent guides, and unique cultural experiences that the students and I will remember for a lifetime."
Dr. Graeme Langager - Director of Choral Activities, University of Arkansas
"Canticum Novum, The tour choir of Central Church in Phoenix just completed its most successful tour in 35 years of contertizing abroad, solely due to the excellent management of Incantato. Their attention to every detail, response to every request, superb International Staff, and excellence in concert management are singularly distinctive. Theirs is a professional concert management group who are also excellent providers of travel services. That is a distinctive difference. Travel agents are for travel; Incantato provides concert management in stunning venues, and the organizational minutia supporting these artistic events in addition to fine tuned travel experiences filled with special amenities. If music making in superb acoustical spaces to wonderfully receptive audiences is your priority, Incantato is the professional tour group for your ensemble."
Donald E. Morse, Central United Methodist Church, Phoenix, AZ
"Of the eight international tours I've taken as both singer and conductor, last summer's CSULB tour to Naples, Rome, Florence and the Amalfi Coast with Incantato was the best organized and the most fun. Our tour manger and guides were professional, wonderful teachers, and our venues were beautiful. We saw stunning posters for our events everywhere we walked. The marketing for our concerts was incredible! Our audiences were huge and exuberant, and Incantato made all the pieces fell into place beautifully. Thank you Incantato Tours for the personal attention, for the flexibility that allowed us to chose exactly where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. We're already planning for 2010."

"Having recently returned from a successful tour of Ireland, I can say without a doubt that this was my finest tour experience. I have used several different tours companies in my years of performance tours, and none have matched the attention to detail, the thoughtful planning, excellent venues & marketing, meal & hotels, and overall management by Incantato Tours. Their pricing was excellent, and when the US currency dropped, they did not raise any of our cost. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a tour, whether they are a large professional ensemble, or a small church choir."
Sincerely, Nathan J. Kreitzer - Director of Choral Activities Santa Barbara City College
"My mom and I loved the entire trip. Our favorite place was Killarney and the Ring of Kerry tour, but we enjoyed every place we visited. The whole itinerary was awesome! Mom has been telling everyone she knows that it was a perfect trip! You get an A+ from us! Thanks for everything! We would definitely go on an Incantato tour again! Thanks Sandra and Ted!"
Best regards, Gail and Gloria Reynolds
"At the Carmina Burana performance in Maiori, there was a ton of energy in the air from the chorus and the audience-- it was one of the most exciting performances of my life. To have all the beautiful sound from the chorus behind me, and to get to sing as I looked out over the ocean-- it was just breathtaking.For me, singing in the Sistine Chapel was very surreal. It almost seemed like it wasn't actually happening when we first started singing--and then I looked up and suddenly couldn't help from crying. I felt so unbelievably lucky to have music in my life so that I could be a part of that magic. It was as if the music just belonged there. Thanks, Incantato!"
