Longing to go to Italy? Listen in and we will take you there with stories, from professional guides, of wonderful places that will make your imagination come alive. As a traveler, I always felt that there was something missing when I would go on walking tours to see special sites and monuments. I wanted fire works!Remember in your life when you had that exceptional teacher, that you never forgot, because they made it fun to learn? That’s what I wanted and I went out in search of those people to built my company on that very premise!Now, we have been taking people around all parts of Italy for over 20 years. We started in Rome (where I am a licensed guide) and have expanded to Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Florence, and Venice. Something that makes Through Eternity Tours special is that the staff and guides, who work with us, are exceptional. We have built very strong bonds together and we are all a great support network for each other. So many times I thought to myself that during these enthusiastic conversations that we have, wouldn’t it be great to share this with other people? That is why we have created TE Talks to keep the stories going to keep your dreams of Italy alive.

Scottish and Irish folk songs combined with the Lord of the Rings music and a wee bit o’Celtic fun. The Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brob-din-nahg-EE-en) were The Original Celtic Renaissance music duo from Austin, Texas. Their unique brand of folk music on the autoharp, recorder, and mandolin made them one of the most-popular Celtic music groups online where they continue to give away thousands of free Celtic MP3 downloads daily.

From 1999 to 2008, the Brobdingnagian Bards performed coast-to-coast, and in a given month could be found at a Lord of the Rings Oscar Party, a Celtic festival, or a Science Fiction Convention. However, they were an absolute favorite at Renaissance Faires where they added high-energy and wit to make every show a memorable experience.

Thanks in part to this podcast, their shows are never done!
