Testimonials
"Carole's guide is to Northern California as my tour is to NYC.  Almost.  Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
--Kenny Kramer, the real Kramer and director of
Kramer's Reality Tour

"Carole was a delight for our very active yet discerning audience. The turnout was quite large, but that only raised the expectations of the attendees, hoping to learn about great ways to spend a weekend and yet avoid the tourist traps. Her suggestions for adventures were well beyond the normal recommendations, and you really got the feeling that she was letting you in on little known secrets."  View talk on YouTube.
--Jesse Nichols, Google

"Carole is the doyenne-empress-goddess of family travel in the Bay Area.  She invented it."
--Peter Beren, co-author of
The Writer's Legal Companion

"Of all the events that we host, those featuring the work of Carole T. Meyers sell the most books."
--Marie LaRocco/Asst.Mgr., Barnes & Noble San Mateo

"The audience was captivated by your informative talk and by your slides.  We especially appreciated your knowledge of the "lesser-known" places to visit in this area.  We all learned a lot, and in a very entertaining manner.  I have already consulted your book and will be planning a weekend adventure soon.  Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm . . ."
--Sylvia Harris/Reference Librarian, Novato Library

"Thank you so much for a great program and for inspiring us to look in our own backyard."
--Linda L. Santo/Librarian, Burlingame Public Library
