I've enjoyed every trip I've taken with the group. The club makes traveling incredibly easy by handling all the details, which allows you to simply relax and enjoy the experience. One of the things I appreciate most is the sense of
community—it's always a pleasure to meet new people while also seeing familiar faces on each trip.

What a wonderful trip today for all of us who travelled to Sight & Sound in Lancaster, PA, for another amazing show and then on to Miller's Smorgasboard for another delicious meal! What a treat to be able to see these shows every year with the DTC!

We've been on several trips. The prices are fair and reasonable, and include so many things.
