“Following PBA in Valley Forge, PA, under the direction of Margo DeRouchie, National Sales Director, Pennsylvania’s Americana Region, we enjoyed an outstanding FAM tour in the Berks County Area. They housed us; we enjoyed outstanding meals, and quality attractions. I would encourage anyone who has not taken their groups to the Berks County Area, to give Margo a call, and set up a visit. You will not be disappointed! Since the FAM, we took a bus load of people to Boyertown, PA, on a Mystery Tour to visit the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles (hidden gem), and a 2 hour train ride on the Colebrookdale Railroad. We were treated very special by all parties involved. Wonderful service! Michelle and Nathaniel, at the railroad had everything under complete control, and our passengers were very pleased. I look forward to doing more business with the people in Berks County! Thanks, Margo
