this trip was a big waste of money. We expected more of a personal touch throughout the trip. We did not experience that "your special" vibe. My wife and I just were not happy with the overall experience. The hotel was not up to our standards. The Tour Guide (lovely person, but lousy Tour Guide) -- she was not good. Meals: Some of the dinners that were included were nothing special. My wife and I have concluded that we OVERPAID for everything that was included in this trip and are sorry we took this particular trip. We could have used that money for a different Collette trip that would probably have been more enjoyable and worth the price. This trip was a "Dud."
unfortunately this trip was a big waste of money. We expected more of a personal touch throughout the trip and we did not get that "your special" vibe. Just not happy with the overall experience. Hotel was not up to our standards. Tour guide was not the best -- not that well informed. Some of the dinners that were included were nothing special. We just seem to have OVERPAID for everything that was included in this trip.
The tour was great. It included the the sights I wanted to see. The hotel, tour bus and meals were very good. What made a big difference to the tour was Amy, the tour guide. She was very informative and made an effort to make all people in the group feel comfortable and included.
Drivers picked me up from my home in Beaumont, CA to LAX, from LAX to the hotel, and back, all fantastic! Tour director, Amy, made it unforgettable, so organized and thoughtful from start to finish. Highlights: Changing of the Guard, monuments, Capitol Hill, White House Visitor Center, great restaurants and food, museums…, and my first subway ride! Loved the Museum of the Bible, so powerful! It was truly a wonderful and memorable trip!
Inside tour of the capital was excellant. Our tour guide made sure it was a tour for our group making it extra special. It was very nice to have the bus provide transportation, less walking. Restaurants were excellant and varied letting you sample various cuisine. The hotel was going through renovations with a couple of days without elevator access to the first floor. Breakfast wasvery good especially when they had the cook to order olmlette station. The rooms were very nice size. I am marking the accommodations down because my bathroom was so small you could not open the door, it hit the toilet 1/2 way. Very awkward, you had to side in between toilet and vanity, then shut the door to use the facility.
