I love these seminars with Dr. Steer! I had a skype call with Italoamericani and Italian friends a few hours after the seminar and I could not stop telling them about the seminar. I love learning, I love how good Dr. Steer is as a presenter, teacher but mostly you can tell how special the subject matter is to her. THAT is a gift to receive. I can't wait until the next one. Her presentations are like going to class at your favorite professor's home and taking the tour with her of all her favorite sites and art and history and you come away with learning so much without even realizing it. Plus, she's subtly hilarious.

I have participated in other Conversations done by Dr. Susan Steer. They were first rate, and this one was as well.
I came away thinking my wife and I might like to visit Vicenza.
After watching Susan's seminar, I now want to travel to Vincenza - a tribute to her wonderful presentation!
This was a thorough and informative tour of Vicenza. We are planning to visit in the Fall and thought this would be useful to give us a background about the city before we arrive. We were very happy with Dr. Steer's presentation. Grazie mille!
