Pamela M. | Traveled in December
The tour was fantastic. Collette does a wonderful job on planning and accommodations on their tours. Everything was so smooth and effortless. No stress at all. That’s the wonderful part about a tour. Everything is planned and arranged for you.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
The tour itself was wonderful, but the airline experience was awful. Some of us went a day early to enjoy some extra time. We left our home at 2:45 am, but due to flight delays, we arrived at our hotel in Charleston around 10:30 pm and my luggage was still in Atlanta. As far as the actual tour is concerned, I enjoyed it all and I especially liked Jekyll Island.
Donette G. | Traveled in December
This was a memorable, bucketlist trip! We saw so much of NYC and it was run very well. Buses were on time and comfortable, we got to experience alot of the highlights of New York. My most memorable experience was the 9/11 memorial and museum, so humbling and fascinating. Glenn was the BEST tour guide, always available and smiling.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
Not happy given double beds 2 out of 3 hotels Second hotel furniture was beat up, shower in bathtub and shower curtain, not glass door. We paid extra for that room and it was the worst of all rooms Would have liked more tours on Maui and less free time Liked all the tours and views. Also liked how quiet it was. Lucky there Had problems booking flights and also misunderstanding on free bags
Margaret Y. | Traveled in December
For a first time visitor to NYC it was perfect. The hotel location was in the heart of where we needed to be and it was high quality. I especially appreciated having our tour manager register us ahead of time. It is a large hotel and we didn’t have to wait in a long line to get our room. We started enjoying the city as soon as we arrived at the hotel vs waiting to get our room. Jamie our tour manager was superior. He made himself always available and was completely approachable. Clearly an experienced leader! I was a first time visitor and Jamie was the reason I was always comfortable. I now have the confidence to go back and explore more.
Linda Y. | Traveled in December
